to evaluate the effects of drought stress and re-watering on nodal roots initiation and growth, two glasshouse experiments were conducted in commonwealth scientific and industrial research organization (csiro) in australia during 2008-2009. the experimental designs in both experiments were factorial in a randomized complete block design with two factors. first factor was drought stress and seco...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of diets containing roasted soybean (R), extruded soybean (E) or their combination (RE) on dairy cow performance and milk fatty acid (FA) profile. Nine multiparous lactating Holstein cows (680 ± 25 kg BW; 90 ± 10 DIM; means ± SD) were randomly assigned to a triple 3 × 3 Latin square design. Dry matter intake (DMI), apparent nutrient dige...

Quality of minced silver carp (Hypophthalmicthysmolitrix) with gum arabic encapsulated with 1 and 1.5%( w/w) and rosemary extract (RE) (1 and 1.5% w/w) stored at 4˚C was studied chemically (peroxide value and total volatile nitrogen) and microbiologically (total viable count, psychrotrophic count) analyses. The efficacy of the encapsulated extract to control the population of Esche...

Lately short antennas have again attracted broadcaster attention. These kinds of antennas have been used since the 1920s.
