A total of 120, 28-week-old White Leghorn hens were randomly selected to study the effect dietary inclusion flaxseed oil (FSO) , fish (FO) and their combinations on production performance egg quality traits in birds divided into six treatments that had four replicates five each. The experimental groups fed with control diet containing 5.0 per cent FSO, FO, 2.5 FSO + 3.5 1.5 FO +3.5 FO. experime...

Locality is a standard notion of finite model theory. There are two well known flavors of it, based on Hanf’s and Gaifman’s theorems. Essentially they say that structures that locally look alike cannot be distinguished by first-order sentences. Very recently these standard notions have been generalized in two ways. The first extension makes the notion of “looking alike” depend on logical indist...

Techniques are presented for moving between adjacent tetrahedra in a tetrahedral mesh. The tetrahedra result from a recursive decomposition of a cube into six initial congruent tetrahedra. A new technique is presented fo r labeling the triangular faces. The labeling enables the implementation of a binary-like decomposition of each tetrahedron which is represented using a pointerless representat...

We consider the fragments FO, Σ2 ∩ FO, Π2 ∩ FO, and ∆2 of first-order logic FO[<] over finite and infinite words. For all four fragments, we give characterizations in terms of rankers. In particular, we generalize the notion of a ranker to infinite words in two possible ways. Both extensions are natural in the sense that over finite words, they coincide with classical rankers and over infinite ...

Fish oil (FO) is a potent anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering agent. Because inflammation can modulate lipid metabolism and vice versa, we hypothesized that combining FO with cyclooxygenase inhibitors (COXIBs), well-known anti-inflammatory drugs, can enhance the anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering effect of FO. LDLR(-/-) mice were fed a high-fat diet supplemented with 6% olive oil or FO for 1...

We determined the effect of fish oil (FO) ingestion on colonic carcinogenesis in rats. Male Wistar rats received 4 subcutaneous injections (40 mg/kg body weight each) of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) at 3-day intervals and were fed a diet containing 18% by weight FO (N = 10) or soybean oil (SO, N = 10) for 36 weeks. At sacrifice, the colon was removed, aberrant crypt foci were counted and the fat...

PURPOSE Fluid overload (FO) in critically ill patients remains a challenging clinical dilemma, and many continuous intravenous (IV) medications in the US are being delivered as a dilute solution, adding significantly to a patient's daily intake. This study describes the costs and outcomes of FO in patients receiving multiple continuous infusions. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study wa...

An epoxy resin formulation developed in the Dental Research Unit has been subjected to further clini­ cal trials. Six patients, were used in the study. They were divided into two age groups and all the teeth, including the first molars, bonded. Rubber dam was used to keep the crowns dry during the setting period o f the resin. In the younger group the mean failure rates were 27 per cent fo r an...
