∗ This work has been partially funded by TOMI project (ESPRIT #20724) Abstract: This paper describes a method to perform error simulation to estimate the quality of the testbenches used to validate VHDL designs. The method is based in the mutation of VHDL descriptions by an error model. The proposed method allows an automatic execution of the error simulation using a commercial VHDL simulator. ...

By means of turkeys’ faecal samples flotation with NaCl solution, the species composition of Eimeria spp. has been determined in 16 settlements in the Republic of Bulgaria and 4 settlements in the Republic of Turkey. In Bulgaria, the following species were detected: Eimeria adenoeides; E. meleagridis; E. meleagrimitis; E. gallopavonis; E. subrotunda, as well as Isospora heisini, whereas in Turk...

A long-term care hospital (LTCH) is a specialized facility for patients with serious health problems who require continuous and intensive care but not comprehensive diagnostic methods. LTCHs provide prolonged complex care and wound care in the period following the acute stage of disease. When intensive care unit (ICU) stay is prolonged in the United States of America, the patients may be transf...

OBJECTIVES: The effect of photoperiod or melatonin treatments on ovarian adenocarcinoma in turkey breeder hens (Meleagris gallopavo) was investigated to evaluate the usefulness of this animal as a model for studying ovarian cancer. METHODS: In Experiment 1, photoperiod effects were tested by exposing turkeys with ovarian tumors to 8 wks of short days (8:16LD) followed by a 12 wk period of long ...

The efficacy of injecting antibodies raised against turkey prolactin to prevent the expression of incubation behaviour has been investigated in turkey hens. Medium white turkey hens (n = 15 x 2) were injected three times weekly for 4 consecutive weeks starting on week 5 of egg production. The hens were injected im with a volume of 1 mL per injection for the 1st week and 0.5 mL thereafter, of no...

Different in vitro and in silico approaches from our research group have demonstrated that neutral electrolyzed water (NEW) can be used to detoxify aflatoxins. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the ability of NEW to detoxify B-aflatoxins (AFB₁ and AFB₂) in contaminated maize and to confirm detoxification in an in vivo experimental model. Batches of aflatoxin-contaminated maize...

BACKGROUND The burden of cancer affects all countries; while high-income countries have the capacity and resources to establish comprehensive cancer control programs, low and middle-income countries have limited resources to develop such programs. This paper examines factors associated with the development of cancer registries in four provinces in Turkey. It looks at the progress made by these ...
