A field experiment was conducted to study the consumptive use of water leaf (Talinum triangulare) on a constructed small scale combined weighing and non-weighing Lysimeter. This considered design construction lysimeter that characteristics non-weighing. The main components facility are mild steel, load cell, Arduino nano, micro secure digital (Micro SD) card, liquid crystal display (LCD) screen...

Weighing trousers used to suspend children from a hanging scale are uncomfortable and require insertion of the child's legs through the trousers. The 'weighing seat' holds the child in a more natural, comfortable, and secure position, thus increasing the child's acceptance of the weighing procedure, and making the procedure ...

The developmental pattern of apolipoprotein VLDL-II (apo-II) in the plasma with regard to lipid concentration was characterized during the transition of pullet females to the laying phase in commercial laying hens (Gallus domesticus). Apo-II was isolated from the plasma of estrogen-administered roosters, and a rapid ELISA was developed for its quantification in chickens. The sensitivity of the ...
