Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Systematic Procedure for Square Random Lattice SamplingGirish Chandra, Neeraj TiwariAn attempt has been made in this paper to improve the method 'Square Random Lattice Sampling' by suggesting a systematic procedure for achieving the goals under controls beyond stratification. The estimator of mean and its variance are calculated. Results shows that the relative precision of the proposed procedure increases as size of the latin square and the number of latin … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 20 Jul 2017 · 6,966 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPromising Effects of Beta-Glucans on Metabolism and on the Immune Responses: Review ArticleViviam de Oliveira Silva, Natália Oliveira de Moura, Larissa Jahnel Rodrigues de Oliveira et al.A public health issue, Diabetes mellitus, affects millions of people around the globe. Ingestion of foods with a low glycemic index - fiber-rich meals-such as beta-glucans, is increasing as an important alternative for diabetes control. These compounds act reducing parameters such as blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, by decreasing the absorption of glucose and lipids by enterocytes and eventually promote … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2017 · 12,689 accessesView PDFCite

Santhirani, Sreenivasa Rao IjjadaIn recent semiconductor designs, the major key factors: Competent device simulations, precise device characterization, well power optimization, new architectural design and cost-effective fabrication drives the designers attention towards multi gate transistors as an alternative to MOSFET. Non planner device structures are a competitive edge over planner devices. Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) FinFETs are hopeful among variety of multi-gate structures as they have … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2017 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncrease in Crude Protein Content of Milk Replacers with Vegetable Protein: Effect on Health and Dairy Calves' PerformanceEvangelina Miqueo, Thais Manzoni Torrezan, Nathalia Britto Rocha et al.The use of milk replacer instead of whole milk may be an economical alternative to calf-rearing systems. However, together with the volume fed, its composition is critical for high performance, especially regarding the origin of the protein. Two milk replacers with different protein content were evaluated to see the effect on the performance of calves. Thirty-three Holstein calves were distributed … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2017 · 7,779 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean.
