Background: The breeding performance is an important parameter to evaluate the breeding success in captive condition. The optimum hormone dose in combination with latency period is desirable for getting best breeding performance in fish. Objectives: <span style="color: win...

We tested the hypothesis that retardation of aging by caloric restriction is due in part to decreased levels of plasma glucose over the life span. Male C57BL/6 mice expressing a human GLUT4 minigene (transgenic [TG] mice) and their nontransgenic littermates (NTG mice) were maintained under specific pathogen-free conditions. Mice were fed ad libitum (A mice) or 40% less than ad libitum (R mice) ...

Abstruc/A Mobile Ad-hoc'NETwork (MANET), also referred as Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS), has nodes which not only sendlreceive'packets associated with them but also co-operate in forwarding dataand control packets for the network. Efficient use of energy by the mobile nodes is very important to increase the lifetime of MANET. Since nodes seldom have packets to receive, they remain in Idl...
