any change in the refractive index of a laser active medium can lead to serious degradation of beam quality, laser beam modes, laser performance and variation in the intensity distribution. alteration in the refractive index of laser active medium is especially notable in high power lasers. it is clear that in the laser beam production, the pumping agent induces a great amount of heat which...

This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different vegetable oil types on broiler performance, carcass characteristics and fatty acid profile of breast and thigh meat. For it, a total number of 300 day-old cobb-500 broiler chickens were housed in floor pens for 42 days in a completely randomized design, consisted of 5 treatments (soy, flaxseed, canola, corn and sunflower), with ...

The present work was conducted to investigate the chemical composition (amino acid, mineral content, and lipid profile) of bones from three different Iranian pelagic fish species. The biochemical composition of Sardinella gibbosa, Clupeonella engrauliformis and Stolephorus indicus bones captured from the Iranian Ocean (the Oman Sea and Caspian Sea) were determined. The analysis of amino acids a...
