introduction: huntington disease (hd) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease which affects movement control system of the brain. hd symptoms lead to patient’s gait change and influence stride time intervals. in this study, we present a grey box mathematical model to simulate hddisorders. this model contains main physiological findings about bg. methods: we used artificial neural networks (a...

three hundred eighteen young holstein bulls (initial bw = 375 ± 17.5 kg) were randomly allotted to one of six treatments in a completely randomized design for 56 d the treatments of which consisted of 1) the basal diet (control); 2) basal diet plus 30 mg of cu/kg of dm as cuso4; 3) basal diet plus 150 mg of zn/kg of dm as znso4; 4) basal diet plus chlortetracycline (200 mg/animal/d; ctc); 5) ba...

Objective(s): Prostate cancer is the world’s leading cause of cancer and the second cause of cancer-related death in men after lung cancer. Differentiation of prostate adenocarcinoma from benign prostate lesions and hyperplasia sometimes cannot be done on the basis of morphologic findings. Considering the fact that in the prostate adenocarcinoma there is no basal cell layer, basal cell markers ...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary energy sourcesandlevels on performance and small intestinal morphology in broiler chickens. A total of 600 one-day-old broiler chicks were randomly divided into five treatments with four replicates each. Chicks were fed diet based on corn as main energy source and energy level based on Cobb 500 manual instruction considered c...

In order to evaluate the effects of chlorella on broiler performance and immune system, an experimentwas performed by using 80 ROSS 308 male broiler chicks. The experiment was accomplished incompletely randomized design including 5 treatments with 4 replication and 4 observations in eachreplicate. The basal diet was based on corn-soybean meal (control) and without any additives. Agraded level o...

To study the anticoccidial and antioxidant effects of garlic powder (GP) and total sulfur amino acid (TSAA) on growth performance, faecal oocyst output, oxidative stress indicators and antioxidant status markers in broiler chickens, a 2 × 2 × 2 splitplot-factorial arrangement of treatments was used. A total of 480-day-old male broiler chickens were equally assigned to two plots. Two hundred for...

in order to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen application methods on yield and yield components of winter wheat, a field experiment with split plot arrangement in randomized completely blocks design with four replicates was conducted during 2006-07. basal dressing in three levels (with no basal dressing, strip and distributing nitrogen fertilizer) as main plot and top dressing in six le...
