Background. The development of safe and effective oral feeding skills in the newborn is complex and may be associated with significant morbidities. Our understanding of neonatal oral feeding maturation at the molecular level is limited, providing an opportunity to utilize emerging molecular techniques to accurately assess neonatal oral feeding skills. Objective. To identify key regulatory genes...

Sanguivorous leeches are ectoparasites having access to body fluids of potential hosts only infrequently. During feeding, salivary proteins are released from unicellular salivary glands into the wound. These substances, among them anti-coagulants, anti-inflammatory or anti-microbial agents, allow these animals proper feeding and long-term storage of host blood in their crops for several months....

Flexible parts feeding techniques have recently begun to gain industry acceptance. However, one barrier to effective flexible feeding solutions is a dearth of knowledge of the underlying dynamics involved in flexible part feeders. This paper presents the results of testing the CWRU flexible parts feeder. Data was collected for extended periods while feeding a variety of parts. The data was exam...

Aquatic invertebrates are excellent models for the study of animal feeding behavior and at the same time are very important fisheries resources that are frequently harvested using baited fishing gears. Studies on their chemical senses can bring a better understanding to the factors affecting feeding processes in simple organisms, as well as contribute to the development of better baiting techni...

ABSTRACT
 
 One of the efforts in managing waste is to carry out environmentally friendly bioconversion with one most popular composting vermicomposting. The use insects also new technologies, namely Black Soldier Fly larvae. combination two types decomposing organisms that are synergistic can increase effectiveness decomposition process. purpose this study was analyze rate vermigot f...
