AbstractThe influence of oral intake of an antibiotic (Norfloxacin®) through mulberry leaf at two concentrations (50 and 100 ppm) on the feed conversion efficiency parameters of silkworm hybrids, viz. bivoltine (CSR2 × CSR4) and crossbreed (BL67 × CSR106), was studied. Feed consumption data showed that the food consumption of antibiotic-treated batches was on par with the control. However, nutritional indices parameters such as digesta, approximate digestibility and reference ratio were significantly higher in the antibiotic-treated batches. Similarly, the nutritional efficiency parameters such as efficiency of ingested food into larvae, cocoon and shell were significantly higher in the antibiotic treated batches. The ingesta required to produce one gram of larva, cocoon and shell were significantly lower in treated batches. Most of the feed conversion efficiency parameters related to digesta, such as efficiency of digested food into larvae, cocoon and shell were not significantly different between the control and the treated batches. The results indicated that higher assimilation and conversion of food was observed in silkworm treated with antibiotic.

In the study, it has been demonstrated its use for a data set obtained from layer hens in a hybrid approach obtained by combining BAGGING and MARS. In the study, the data of 2018 of the egg production enterprise in a private livestock enterprise in the Çukurova Region of Adana province were used. In the research, a data set obtained from Lohman breed chickens, who are at an average age of 60 weeks, was used. Earth (enhanced adaptive regression through hinges) and caret (classification and regression training), mda (Mixture Discriminant Analysis) packages were used in R STUDIO program to provide a stronger solution of regression problems in the created MARS and Bagging MARS algorithm. The estimation performance of the bagging MARS technique was evaluated with the goodness of fit criteria by taking the B value of the bootstrap sample number 3. In the study, the effect of temperature and humidity on egg yield, broken / cracked eggs, number of dead animals and feed consumption was investigated using MARS and bagging MARS analysis. While the effect of evening temperature(t3) on egg yield was found to be significant, it was not included in the estimation equation since morning (t1) and noon(t2) temperatures did not have a significant effect. Since the number of broken / cracked eggs and dead animals is less than 5 weeks, these variables are not included in the estimation equation in MARS and Bagging MARS models. It has been observed that feed consumption has a positive contribution in both models.

Recently we have investigated the phase equilibria and antiphase domain structures of Fe-Al alloys containing from 18 to 50 at.% Al by transmission electron microscopy and Mössbauer techniques. This study has revealed that none of the published phase diagrams are correct, although the one proposed by Rimlinger agrees most closely with our results to be published separately. In this paper observations by transmission electron microscopy relating to the nucleation of disorder in Fe-24% Al will be described. Figure 1 shows the structure after heating this alloy to 776.6°C and quenching. The white areas are B2 micro-domains corresponding to regions of disorder which form at the annealing temperature and re-order during the quench. By examining specimens heated in a temperature gradient of 2°C/cm it is possible to determine the effect of temperature on the disordering reaction very precisely. It was found that disorder begins at existing antiphase domain boundaries but that at a slightly higher temperature (1°C) it also occurs by homogeneous nucleation within the domains. A small (∼ .01°C) further increase in temperature caused these micro-domains to completely fill the specimen.

Temperature affects both elastic and inelastic scattering of electrons in a crystal. The Debye-Waller factor, B, describes the influence of temperature on the elastic scattering of electrons, whereas the imaginary part of the (complex) atomic form factor, fc = fr + ifi, describes the influence of temperature on the inelastic scattering of electrons (i.e. absorption). In HRTEM simulations, two possible ways to include absorption are: (i) an approximate method in which absorption is described by a phenomenological constant, μ, i.e. fi; - μfr, with the real part of the atomic form factor, fr, obtained from Hartree-Fock calculations, (ii) a more accurate method in which the absorptive components, fi of the atomic form factor are explicitly calculated. In this contribution, the inclusion of both the Debye-Waller factor and absorption on HRTEM images of a (Oll)-oriented GaAs crystal are presented (using the EMS software.Fig. 1 shows the the amplitudes and phases of the dominant 111 beams as a function of the specimen thickness, t, for the cases when μ = 0 (i.e. no absorption, solid line) and μ = 0.1 (with absorption, dashed line).

Abstract. Background: Elevated homocysteine levels and malnutrition are frequently detected in hemodialysis patients and are believed to exacerbate cardiovascular comorbidities. Omega-3 fatty acids have been postulated to lower homocysteine levels by up-regulating metabolic enzymes and improving substrate availability for homocysteine degradation. Additionally, it has been suggested that prevention of folate depletion by vitamin E consumption decreases homocysteine levels. However, data on the effect of omega-3 fatty acids and/or vitamin E on homocysteine levels and nutritional status have been inconclusive. Therefore, this study was planned to examine the effect of combined supplementation of fish oil, as a source of omega-3 fatty acids, with wheat germ oil, as a source of vitamin E, on homocysteine and nutritional indices in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Forty-six hemodialysis patients were randomly assigned to two equally-sized groups; a supplemented group who received 3000 mg/day of fish oil [1053 mg omega-3 fatty acids] plus 300 mg/day of wheat germ oil [0.765 mg vitamin E], and a matched placebo group who received placebo capsules for 4 months. Serum homocysteine and different nutritional indices were measured before and after the intervention. Results: Twenty patients in each group completed the study. At the end of the study, there were no significant changes in homocysteine levels and in the nutritional indices neither in the supplemented nor in the placebo-control groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Fish oil and wheat germ oil combination did not produce significant effects on serum homocysteine levels and nutritional indices of hemodialysis patients.
