the aim of this study was to show the effect of four feeding regimes on thyroid hormones concentrations, growth performance and food coefficient in rainbow trout applied through 4 treatments and 3 replications in winter 2006. in this research, samples of rainbow trout with an initial mean weight (so) 47.19±0.42 used in each rearing unite. fish were fed twice a day ad libitum as follows: treatme...

This paper proposes a stochastic optimization model for the day-ahead scheduling in power systems, which incorporates the hourly demand response (DR) for managing the variability of renewable energy sources (RES). DR considers physical and operating constraints of the hourly demand for economic and reliability responses. The proposed stochastic day-ahead scheduling algorithm considers random ou...

Lysine (Lys) and Methionine (Met) as two primary essential amino acids and precursors of carnitine biosynthesis are involved in most of economical traits function in domestic animals. We assessed the impact of dietary Lys and Met on the performance, lipid redistribution, intramuscular fat, carcass quality and especially phenotypic correlations among some studied parameters in broiler chickens. ...

AIMS Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a primary electrical disease characterized by QT prolongation and increased repolarization dispersion leading to T-wave amplitude beat-to-beat changes. We aimed to quantify beat-to-beat T-wave amplitude variability from ambulatory Holter recordings in genotyped LQTS patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy genotyped LQTS patients (mean age 23 +/- 15 years, 42 male...

OBJECTIVE To compare cleaning effectiveness by histological analysis of a reciprocating single-file system with ProTaper rotary instruments during the preparation of curved root canals in extracted teeth. METHODS A total of 40 root canals with curvatures ranging between 20 - 40 degrees were divided into two groups of 20 canals. Canals were prepared to the following apical sizes: Reciproc size...
