Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtrusion of Peas (Pisum sativum L.): Effects on the Apparent Metabolisable Energy and Ileal Nutrient Digestibility of BroilersCatootjie L. Nalle, Ganesharanee Ravindran, Velmurugu RavindranProblem statement: The potential feeding values of grain legumes, such as peas (Pisum sativum), are limited because of the presence of anti-nutritional factors. In particular, protease inhibitors are of interest, but these can be readily destroyed by thermal treatments. In the present study, the influence of extrusion on the chemical composition and nutritive value of peas was evaluated. Approach: Two … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2011 · 8,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Metabolite Combinations Produced by Lactobacillus plantarum on Plasma Cholesterol and Fatty Acids in PigletsT. V. Thu, Loh Teck Chwen, H. L. Foo et al.Problem statement: Hypercholesterol and fatty acids in plasma are the main causes for cardiovascular disease. Reduction of risk factors from diet that associated with cardiovascular disease has much attention in animals as well as in human. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of feeding liquid metabolite combinations produced by five L. plantarum strains on the fatty … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2010 · 7,635 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Reproductive Tract of the Males of the Zoophytophagous Predator Brontocoris tabidus (Signoret) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) with Different Diets and AgesWalkymario de Paulo Lemos, Rafael Coelho Ribeiro, Francisco de Sousa Ramalho et al.Abstract: Problem statement: Brontocoris tabidus (Signoret) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) is a common and important species for the biological control of defoliating Lepidoptera caterpillars. Although it has a predatory feeding habit, this species make use of plant resources, which are essential for the maintenance of its population in laboratory colonies as well as in the field during periods of prey shortage. Thus … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Elicitors and Precursors on the Synthesis of Anthocyanin in Grape Vitis vinifera Cell CulturesNay Min Min Thaw Saw, Heidi Riedel, Onur Kütük et al.Problem statement: Nowadays, plant cell suspension cultures and immobilized cells are being utilized for the higher yield and quality of the products than extraction of whole plants. Anthocyanins are compounds found in plants that have powerful antioxidant properties. They also provide some of the coloring or pigment of plants, flowers and fruits. Anthocyanin from grape cell cultures can be used … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 15,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorpus-Based Analysis on Cross-Domain Experiments in Classification-and-Ranking GenerationAida Mustapha, Md. Nasir Sulaiman, Ramlan Mahmod, Mohd. Hasan SelamatProblem statement: Overgeneration-and-ranking architecture works well in written language where sentence is the basic unit. However, in spoken language where utterance is the basic unit, the disadvantage becomes critical as spoken language also render intentions, hence short strings may be of equivalent impact. Approach: In classification-and-ranking, response was deliberately chosen from dialogue corpus rather than wholly generated, such that it … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 23 Oct 2010 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGhrelin Gene Expression in Broiler Proventriculus Tissue are Changed by Feed Restriction, Different Dietary Energy and Protein LevelsShokoufe Ghazanfari, Mohammad Reza Nassiry, Mojtaba Tahmoorespur et al.Problem statement: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of feed restriction and different energy and protein contents of diet on ghrelin gene expression in broiler chicken. Approach: Feeding programs consisted of ad libitum and feed restriction, two energy levels (3100 and 2800 kcal ME kg-1) and three protein levels (22.3, 19.3 and 16.3% CP). Feed restriction … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,484 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Inositol on Growth, Feed Utilization and Blood Biochemical Parameters for Juvenile Barramundi (Lates calcarifer Bloch)Shi-Qiang Diao, Zhong Huang, Shui-Sheng Chen et al.Problem statement: The utilization of inositol was detected for growth performance and erum biochemical parameters of juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer). Approach: A 56 day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of inositol on growth, feed utilization and serum biochemical parameters for juvenile barramundi Lates calcarifer (initial size 5.51±0.07g). Six experimental fish meal-based isonitrogenous (42% crude protein) and isolipidic … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDoes Predator Go for Size Selection or Preferential Toxic-Nontoxic Species Under Limited Resource?Joydeep Pal, S. Bhattacharya, J. ChattopadhyayProblem statement: Selectivity is common in predator-prey interaction but the selection mechanism is still unexplored and a debatable issue in modern theoretical and experimental ecology for numerous species across the globe. In present investigation we emphasized the hypothesis that the zooplankton is less inclined to opt the food based on size selectivity criteria than the preferential selectivity for the safe … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of a Statistical Model to Biological Data Analysis: Exclusive BreastfeedingNaushad Mamode Khan, Cheika Jahangeer, Daya Goburdhun, Maleika Heenaye-Mamode KhanProblem statement: Breastfeeding is of utmost importance in the maternal life of a woman, particularly exclusive breastfeeding. Exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months of life supports optimal growth and development during infancy and reduces the risk of obliterating diseases and problems. Many probability distributions were proposed to model such data such as the mixed Poisson distributions. However, the estimation … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,820 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEndothelial Dysfunction Induced by Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Fibrinolytic ActivityHussein F. SakrProblem statement: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the world's largest systemic and metabolic disease. Endothelin (ET) was first described as a peptidergic endothelium-derived constricting factor. Endothelin-1 is one of the endothelial factors that is overexpressed in cases of endothelial dysfunction. The fibrinolytic system is present in plasma with the degradation of fibrin polymers in blood clots. It is a proteolytic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,734 accessesView PDFCite
