ABSTRACT: Beak treatment is an effective method of reducing the damage inflicted by severe feather pecking (SFP) but there is significant pressure to eliminate these treatments and rely solely on alternative strategies.Substantial variation in beak shape exists within non-beak treated layer flocks and beak shape appears to be heritable.There is the
Let G be a graph with n vertices, and let LG and pentair hose QG denote the Laplacian matrix and signless Laplacian matrix, respectively.The Laplacian (respectively, signless Laplacian) permanental polynomial of G is defined as the permanent of the characteristic matrix of LG (respectively, a&d ej-123 QG).In this paper, we show that almost complete
Entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana are important natural control agents of many insects and can be potentially gtech brush bar used as a bioinsecticide against several pests.Other potential source of bioinsecticide is certain plants such as fragrant lemongrass oil.The in vitro compatibility of the entomopathogenic fungus B.bassiana a
In this study, we use a specimen from wild-caught individual to determine the complete mitochondrial genome of the Amur soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus maackii).The complete mitogenome of P.maackii has 16,258 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, a&d ej-123 and one control region.The arrangement of genes
Biofouling in heat exchangers is a challenge in industry leading to efficiency and maintenance losses.A 3.4 % of the global gross domestic product (GDP) in 2013, estimated the global cost of corrosion to be US$ 2.5 x 1012.The purpose of the study was to evaluate the stages of multispecies biofilm formation on finished steel surfaces with emphasis o
