Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvidences for the Role of Melatonin as a Protective Additive During Buffalo Semen FreezingMohamed El-Raey, M. R. Badr, Z. M. Rawash, G. M. DarwishTill now, the exact role of melatonin in male infertility hasn’t been fully discovered. Moreover, the intracellular signaling pathways activated by melatonin in buffalo spermatozoa especially on the level of cryopreservation process haven’t been reported. The current study aimed simply to clarify the precise role of this hormone during buffalo semen cryopreservation. Semen samples were obtained randomly from 6 fertile … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2014 · 8,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractANTIOBESITY EFFECTS OF HUMAN SOLUBLE LEPTIN IN MICE NOURISHED WITH A HIGH-FAT/HIGH FRUCTOSE DIETB. Chimal-Vega, N. Paniagua-Castro, J. C. Perez-Rebollar et al.Leptin is a hormone that regulates energy balance. Since its discovery two decades ago, several efforts have been made to fully understand its role in metabolic regulation of feeding behavior, reproduction, glucose homeostasis, immune function, bone formation, lipid metabolism, among others. Its use as a therapeutic option in obese patients is still limited due to the syndrome known as Leptin … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 9 Jul 2014 · 7,388 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLOW COMPLEXITY CONSTRAINTS FOR ENERGY AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT OF HETEROGENEOUS MULTICORE PROCESSORS USING DYNAMIC OPTIMIZATIONA. S. Radhamani, E. BaburajOptimization in multicore processor environment is significant in real world dynamic applications, as it is crucial to find and track the change effectively over time, which requires an optimization algorithm. In massively parallel processing multicore processor architectures, like other population based metaheuristics Constraint based Bacterial Foraging Particle Swarm Optimization (CBFPSO) scheduling can be effectively implemented. In this study we discuss … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 3 Apr 2014 · 6,647 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS OF MELANOCORTIN-4 RECEPTOR GENE ON GROWTH AND MEAT TRAITS IN PIGS RAISED IN RUSSIAA. Klimenko, A. Usatov, Lyubov Getmantseva et al.The Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R), a G-protein coupled receptor, is implicated in mediating the effect of leptin on food intake and energy balance. A previous candidate gene study reported an association between an MC4R polymorphism (Asp298Asn) and growth and meat productive traits of pigs. The aim of this work was to determine frequencies of the MC4R/Taq I genotypes and alleles in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,611 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractECOTOXICOLOGICAL BIOASSAYS OF THE EARTHWORMS ALLOLOBOPHORA CALIGINOSA SAVIGNY AND PHERETIMA HAWAYANA ROSA TREATED WITH ARSENATEAbdelmonem Mohamed KhalilLittle research has been carried out on the effect of arsenate on earthworms. Ecotoxicological laboratory tests are fundamental tools for assessing the toxicity of arsenate to soil organisms. In this study, the impact of arsenate on the survival, reproduction and behaviour of the endogenic earthworms Allolobophora caliginosa and the anecic earthworms Pheretima hawayana has been quantified. The 96-h LC 50 … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2013 · 7,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Characterization of a Bovine Breed (Tabapua) Under Artificial Selection Located in the Amazon RegionJose Elivalto Guimaraes Campelo, Marcone Helmer da Silva, Ednaldo da Silva Filho et al.Brazil currently has the biggest commercial bovine cattle population in the world. Several different breeds that come from Europe and India compose it. They are primarily used for dairy and meat production. In Brazil, several high quality genetic background cattle are kept in a condition known as pure breed, meaning no other animal of different genetic background is interbreeding with … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2013 · 7,558 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Quinolones in Bull Semen Extenders to Reduce Sperm Deoxyribonucleic Acid DamageClara Gonzalez-Marin, Michael Eduard Kjelland, Rosa Roy et al.Cryopreserved sperm samples from Holstein bulls (n = 20) were examined for bacterial presence and Sperm DNA Fragmentation (SDF) dynamics. SDF was assessed after thawing (T0) and at 4, 24 and 48 h of incubation (37°C) and the rate of SDF (r-SDF), as an estimator of the DNA degradation over time, was calculated. Two groups of bulls were identified based … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Dec 2012 · 7,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLife Cycle of Laboratory-Reared Acrobasis nuxvorella Neunzig (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae): A Pecan Nut PestCorella-Madueno Alba Guadalupe, Fu-Castillo Agustin, Harris Marvin et al.Acrobasis nuxvorella Neunzig is a monophagous pest that feeds on pecan nut trees, Carya illinoinensis. Its specific feeding habit makes the reproduction of this insect in the laboratory challenging. The objective of the present work was to replicate the biological cycle of A. nuxvorella under laboratory conditions. Different instar larvae of the insect were collected from infested nut trees. The … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 19 Sep 2012 · 8,326 accessesView PDFCite

Pasumpon PandianProblem statement: Identifying the new lossless image compression algorithm for high performance applications like medical and satellite imaging; a high quality lossless image is most important when reproduction which leads to classify the data for decision making. Approach: A new lossless hybrid algorithm based on simple selective scan order with Bit Plane Slicing method is presented for lossless Image compression … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 28 Jul 2012 · 7,486 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis of Multi Clustered Parallel Genetic Algorithm with Gray ValueP. Vishnu Raja, V. Murali BhaskaranProblem statement: Encoding is one of the major factors in genetic algorithms, for a complex problem the optimality for the problem is determined. The encoding mechanism is the initial step which forms the chromosome to form the best fit individuals in the entire population. The proposed method tries to encode the initial population by the binary encoding and by gray … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 28 Jun 2012 · 7,166 accessesView PDFCite
