objective: a research was carried out to investigate the effects of nettle (urtica dioica) powder (np) and essential oil (ne) on performance, blood metabolites, carcass characteristics and antioxidant stability in broiler chicks. methods: the treatments were t1: control diet, t2: control diet + 5g/kg np, t3: control diet + 10 g/kg np, t4: control diet + 5g/kg ne and t5: control diet + 10 g/kg n...

Norepinephrine (NE) kinetics were investigated in freely moving (FM) and minimally stressed (MS) rats with the isotope dilution technique. 1) The mean NE spillover rate (NE-SOR) was 79 +/- 6 ng. kg(-1). min(-1), and the mean NE metabolic clearance rate (NE-MCR) 179 +/- 9 ml. kg(-1). min(-1) (n = 31). Thus the NE kinetics in FM and MS rats are much faster than in human beings, probably related t...

U ovom radu nastojimo dati temelj za proučavanje misli hrvatskog filozofa Milana Polića (1946.-2015.). Sadržaj rada treba promatrati iz dva kuta, strukturalnog i idejnog. Glede prvog, u se nastoji biografski, faktografski sadržajno oslikati prvo razdoblje misaonom djelovanju Polića, riječ je o razdoblju od početka obrazovanju 1974. (srednje usmjereno obrazovanje) do zapošljavanja na akademskoj ...

La fiction contemporaine produit un grand nombre de personnages dont la caractéristique est rester peu longtemps en scène. Sans être secondaires, ils se définissent par brièveté leur présence et récit, comme s’il s’agissait pour eux laisser le moins trace possible ou retrait d’une trame qui poursuit sans même souvenir. Repérable chez des auteurs aussi divers que Jean Echenoz, Maylis Kerangal, M...

An aane invariant metric allowing one to compute aane invariant gradient descent ows is rst presented in this work. This means that given an aane invariant energy, we compute based on this metric the ow that minimizes this energy as fast as possible and in an aane invariant way. Two examples are then presented. The rst one shows that the aane ow minimizing the area enclosed by a planar curve is...

Cardiac norepinephrine (NE) uptake activity is reduced in congestive heart failure. Our studies in intact animals suggest that this effect on the cardiac sympathetic nerve endings is caused by oxidative stress and/or NE toxic metabolites derived from NE. In this study, we investigated the direct effects of NE on neuronal NE uptake activity and NE transporter (NET), using undifferentiated PC12 c...
