Sexual maturation of rainbow trout during production has a negative effect on the slaughter yields and flesh quality. Induction of triploidy is a method to prevent the development of fertile trout. In many investigations sexually mature triploid and diploid rainbow trout had been compared. In the present study the slaughter characteristics and flesh quality of female immature diploid and triplo...

This paper presents system development for quality evaluation of fish fillet using image processing. The proposed system consists of conveyer belt, Ultraviolet (UV) lamp, CCD Camera, electronic circuits, interface card and computer. K-means clustering and thresholding techniques are used for quality evaluation of fish fillet. The image segments are used to calculated area of fish fillet and fis...

Species diversification in Mediterranean mariculture involves various important fish that contribute to the diet of many human populations. These include meagres (Sciaenidae), flatfishes, mullets, and various sparids. Their quality aspects (yields, fillet proximate composition, and lipid quality) are discussed in this review. Their filleting yield is mostly 40-45%. The viscerosomatic index rang...

Three experiments were carried out to estimate the optimal ratios of digestible phenylalanine + tyrosine (Phe + Tyr), histidine (His), and leucine (Leu) relative to digestible lysine (Lys) for performance and carcass criteria of Cobb-500 broilers from 8 to 17 d of age. In each experiment, 160 male chicks were allocated to a completely randomized experimental design with eight replicate pens, ea...

In this study, the carcass and commercial cuts weights and yields in broilers of different ages fed diets supplemented with probiotics were determined. A total of 336 male broiler chicks (Ross-308) were randomly allocated into three treatment groups (P0, P1 and P2). A basal diet (P0), basal diet plus 0.01% (P1) and 0.02% (P2) probiotic (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, 4x10 8 cfu g -1 ) were offered t...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this article is to describe the indications, operative technique, outcomes, and systematic review of the literature on the reconstruction of patients with end-stage pressure ulcers using a fillet flap technique. In this technique, the femur, tibia, and fibula are removed from the thigh and leg, and the soft tissue is used as a pedicled, or free, myocutaneous flap for r...

Endwall fillet and bulb structures are proposed in this research to improve the temperature uniformity of pin-fined microchannels. The periodical laminar flow and heat transfer performances are investigated under different Reynolds numbers and radius of fillet and bulb. The results show that at a low Reynolds number, both the fillet and the bulb structures strengthen the span-wise and the norma...

The influence of long-bright and increasing-dim photoperiods on live and processing performance was investigated in 2 broiler strains. Fifty males of moderate (M) and high (H) yield strains were placed by strain in 2 pens in each of 12 rooms. Six rooms were provided a long-bright photoperiod (LB treatment) of 23L:1D with 2 footcandles of intensity. The other 6 rooms were provided an increasing-...

Abstract—There is a gap at combustor-turbine interface where leakage flow comes out to prevent hot gas ingestion into the gas turbine nozzle platform. The leakage flow protects the nozzle endwall surface from the hot gas coming from combustor exit. For controlling flow’s stream, the gap’s geometry is transformed by changing fillet radius size. During the operation, step configuration is occurre...
