Abstract. This study was undertaken to determine the effects of storage period and egg weight of hatching eggs of Japanese quails on fertility, hatchability results. Eggs were obtained 150 females quails, all at 15 weeks of age. A total of 1942 hatching eggs were separated into 3 groups as light-weight (9.50-10.50 g), medium-weight (10.51-11.50 g), and heavy-weight (11.51-12.50 g). Based on storage period, eggs were divided into 5 groups as group 1 (0-3 days), group 2 (4-6 days), group 3 (7-9 days), group 4 (10-12 days), and group 5 (13-15 days). The influence of storage period on hatchability of fertile eggs and early, middle, and late period embryonic mortality rates was found significant (P<0.01). The effect of egg weight on fertility rate, hatchability of fertile eggs and early embryonic mortality was significant (P<0.05, P<0.01). The significant differences between storage period groups were observed in hatchability of fertile eggs. The differences between egg weight groups for fertility rate, hatchability of fertile eggs and early embryonic mortality was significantly higher in light weight group than the other egg weight groups. Results of this study concluded that a 12 day pre-incubation storage of hatching eggs of Japanese quails did not appreciably affect hatching parameters. Use of medium or heavy weight eggs for hatching may reduce early embryonic mortality rate.

Four thousand two hundred hatching eggs were obtained from Bandarah chicken to evaluate the effect of chemical and natural egg disinfectants and fumigation on egg weight loss, embryonic mortality, hatchability, hatch time, chick weight and chick weight loss. Three incubation trials were done; each one contained 1400 hatched eggs and divided into fourteen treatments (100 eggs per each). First treatment (T1) was used as control without any treatment, eggs of second treatment (T2) were dipped in water and third treatment in alcohol, whereas T4, T5, T6, T7 treated egg groups were dipped in chemical disinfectant (sodium chloride, betadine, hydrogen peroxide, virkon S). Egg of T9, T10, T11, T12, T13 and T14 groups were dipped in natural disinfectants (oregano, cumin 02 and 04 % and oregano+ cumin01 and 02), respectively. The thickest eggshell (031mm) was recorded for betadine group in infertile eggs compared with those for formaldehyde fumigation and oregano+cumin 01% oregano+cumin 01% group (035mm) compared with all other treatment groups. Formaldehyde fumigation recorded the worst and highest significant percentage of embryonic mortality (1795%). Highest significant percentages for hatchability of fertile egg were recorded in egg groups with oregano 02 and 04% (9687 and 9576%), cumin 02 and 04 % (9551and 9715%) and oregano+cumin01 and 02% (9619 and 9615%), respectively.

A total of 9360 eggs was used in two series of experiments to study the effect of pre-incubation treatments on hatchability, egg weight, and chick weight. These treatments involved plastic packaging, alterations in atmospheric carbon dioxide, temperature, humidity, and time during the pre-incubation stage.Hatchability was maintained at a higher level when eggs were enclosed in plastic film during the pre-incubation period. There was also evidence that plastic packaging was more beneficial when eggs were held at adverse temperatures. Temperatures from 50 to 66° F did not appear to have a detrimental effect on hatchability when eggs were held for short storage periods. An increase in the carbon dioxide concentration in the egg storage environment depressed hatchability.Long pre-incubation holding periods tended to decrease egg weight at setting time and at the 18th day of incubation but appeared to increase chick weight. Temperatures ranging from 50 to 64° F had little effect on egg and chick weights. High humidity levels increased egg weight (when eggs were not enclosed in plastic packages) but this weight difference disappeared during incubation.

The corrosion inhibition of S-benzyl o-phenylenedioxydithiophosphate (BPOTP), for carbon steel in hydrochloric acid solution was studied by electrochemical measurements and weight loss measurements. Polarization curves indicate BPOTP is a mixed-type inhibitor, and the effects of temperature, hydrochloric acid concentration and immersion time were also studied. The studies of weight loss measurement show that the inhibition efficiency was up to 92.82 % at the BPOTP concentration of 40 mg·L-1 in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid solution at 30°C. The adsorption of BPOTP on carbon steel surface obeys the Langmuir isotherm.

Effects of temperature on (1) physical characteristics of newly matured leaves throughout regrowth, and (2) net carbon dioxide exchange–irradiance response curves throughout regrowth and throughout the day are described for two alfalfa (Medicago saliva L.) genotypes (AT171 and CC120) grown at 20/15C and 30/25C day/night temperatures and 53 nE cm−2 s−1 irradiance (400–700 nm).Area per leaf increased linearly with increasing leaf number up to the fourth or fifth leaf, and thereafter remained constant. Both specific leaf weight and leaf density were constant for the first four leaves, and increased sharply thereafter, particularly at day/night temperatures of 20/15C. Percentage of leaf water content did not change throughout regrowth at 30/25C, but decreased after leaf 4 at 20/15C. Intercellular space volume fluctuated with leaf number. Leaf area was larger, specific leaf weight, and leaf density were greater, intercellular space volume was higher, and percentage of leaf water content was lower, with plants grown at 20/15C than at 30/25C.The net carbon dioxide exchange rate at 116 nE cm−2 s−1 increased with leaves produced progressively until a peak was reached at leaf 4 or 5 and then decreased. At any given leaf position, net carbon dioxide exchange rate at 116 nE cm−2 s−1 was greater at 20/15C than at 30/25C for AT171, but was the same at both temperatures for CC120. In contrast, net carbon dioxide exchange rate at 76 nE cm−2 s−1 was greater at 20/15C than 30/25C for both genotypes. Net carbon dioxide exchange rates measured in the morning were always lower than those measured in the afternoon regardless of irradiance, genotype, and growth temperature.
