This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of thyme essential oil and enzyme supplementation corn/wheat based diets on performance, carcass traits blood metabolites in broilers. carried out with 432 Ross–308 broilers as factorial arrangement 36 unites (12 birds per each replicate) a completely randomized design from 1 up 42 days. Result’s showed that basic ration type meal have stati...

Polycrystalline films are used in a wide array of microand nano-scale devices, for electronic, mechanical, magnetic, photonic and chemical functions. Increasingly, the properties, performance, and reliability of films in these systems depend on nano-scale structure. In collaborative research with a number of SMA Fellows, Associates, and students, our group is carrying out research focused on pr...

The influence of ration size on homeostasis and sublethal toxicity of copper (Cu) was assessed in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during dietary Cu exposure in synthetic soft water. A constant dietary dose of 0.24 micromol Cu per g fish per day as CuSO(4).5H(2)O was delivered via diets containing 15.75, 7.87, and 5.24 micromol Cu g(-1) fed at 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5% wet body weight daily ration,...

Silicon transistors have undergone rapid miniaturization in the past several decades. Recently reported CMOS devices have dimensional scales approaching the “nano-transistor” regime. This paper discusses performance characteristics of a MOSFET device with 15 nm physical gate length. In addition, aspects of a non-planar CMOS technology that bridges the gap between traditional CMOS and the nano-t...

On Monday, President Barack Obama challenged the United States automobile companies to create a credible model to survive and succeed in the competitive global market. That market now has a new entry, the Tata Nano, launched in Mumbai, India, a week ago. It is easy to dismiss the Nano as a small, basic, poor man’s car that will cause a mere ripple on the world market. The Nano defies this initi...

Growth, feed conversion ratio and fillet composition of rainbow trout (initial weight of 9.99±0.109)were investigated in a 6x2 factorial design experiment employing two levels of digestible energy (DE) (2900 and 3500kcal.kg-1) and six feeding rates (1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, 4.0%,5.0% of the body weight,(BW) day-1 and to satiation) for 60 days. Specific growth rate (SGR) was highest at 5.0% ration in b...

Feed production is a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from dairy production and demands large arable and pasture acreage. This study analysed how regional conditions influence GHG emissions of dairy feed rations in a life cycle perspective, that is the carbon footprint (CF) and the land area required. Factors assessed included regional climate variations, grass/clover silage...

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has demonstrated single-molecule sensitivity and is becoming intensively investigated due to its significant potential in chemical and biomedical applications. SERS sensing is highly dependent on the substrate, where excitation of the localized surface plasmons (LSPs) enhances the Raman scattering signals of proximate analyte molecules. This paper review...

Gastrointestinal diseases occupy one of the leading places in terms frequency and mass manifestation structure pathologies young farm animals. It is known that main causes death cattle (cattle) are various viral bacterial infections, as well errors keeping feeding. Therefore, development feed additives from natural components, characterized by eco-friendly, cheapness, harmlessness handling tech...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of water temperature and rations size on growth performance, feed utilization and carcass biochemical composition of juvenile Benni. Six treatments representing a combination of two water temperature (24 and 28 °C) and three feeding rations (1%, 3% and 5%) were tested with three replicates. Each replicate was stocked with 12 fish (30.66±0.81 g aver...
