In this paper, we introduce two artificial neural network formulations that can be used to predict the preference ratings from the pairwise comparison matrices of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). First, we introduce a modified Hopfield network that can be used to exactly determine the vector of preference ratings associated with a positive reciprocal comparison matrix. The dynamics of this...

In this study, the aim was to determine nutritional content of specially formulated commercial soft/egg foods for canaries, preferred by professional breeders in Türkiye, and raw material seed mixtures, thereby providing insights into general diet compositions essential feeding regimens canaries. The study examined 17 different types, eight mixed feeds, 11 egg food formulations. Two main groups...

results the results showed that the fiber diameter and the amount of loratadine affected the drug release and the disappearance time of nanofibers. the smaller the fiber diameter and drug amount, the faster the solubility and the release time of nanofibers. conclusions it was concluded that electrospinning can be a suitable method for preparing fast-dissolving loratadine nanofibers. materials a...

Common pleco is a wild fish whose habitat occupies lot of reservoir areas and public waters in Indonesia. The amount abundant not consumed by humans, great potential to be used as source animal protein feed. purpose this study was evaluate the digestibility common meal artificial feed for nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus.) carried out at Aquaculture Laboratory Hatchery, Faculty Fisheries Mar...

OBJECTIVE In this study, the effects of a green banana pasta diet on the oxidative damage from type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Formulations containing 25 (F25), 50 (F50), and 75% (F75) of green banana pasta were prepared and included in a 12-week diet of Wistar rats with alloxan-induced type 1 DM. The effects of these formulations in preventing oxidative...

The supplementation of livestock feed with animal protein is a present cause for public concern, and plant protein shortages have become increasingly prominent in China. This conflict may be resolved by fully utilizing currently available sources of plant protein. We estimated the rumen degradability and the small intestinal digestibility of the amino acids (AA) in rapeseed meal (RSM), soybean ...

In spring and summer time; the female of almond saw fly lay eggs in on plant tissue, once hatch young larvae start to feed leaves, causing defoliation trees depending population levels. this study; evaluating effects three mustard oil two tea tree formulations used against larval stages insect pest Cimbex quadrimaculata (Müller, 1766) (Hymenoptera: Cimbicidae). The five botanical tested under l...
