Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Cooling and Supplemental Bovine Somatotropin on Milk Production relating to Body Glucose Metabolism and Utilization of Glucose by the Mammary Gland in Crossbred Holstein CattleSiravit Sitprija, Somchai Chanpongsang, Narongsak ChaiyabutrProblem statement: The low milk yield and shorter persistency of lactation of dairy cattle is the major problem for the dairy practices in the tropics. High environmental temperatures and rapid decline of plasma growth hormone level can influence milk production. Regulation of the milk yield of animals is mainly based on the mechanisms governing the quantity of glucose extracted by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,341 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDWT to Classify Automatically the Placental Tissues Development: Neural Network ApproachMohammad Ayache, Mohamad Khalil, Francois TranquartProblem statement: This study proposed an approach for classification of placental tissues development using ultrasound images. Approach: This approach was based to the selection of tissues, feature extraction by discrete wavelet transform and classification by neural network and especially the Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP). Results: The proposed approach was tested for ultrasound placental images; resulting in 95% success rate. Conclusion/Recommendations: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 6,997 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainability of Rainwater Harvesting Systems in Multistorey Residential BuildingsA. Rahman, J. Dbais, M. ImteazProblem statement: The urban water supply systems in Australian large cities, which generally depend on large surface water reservoirs, are highly stressed due to rapid urban growth and severe drought conditions during the current decade. To ensure the long term sustainability of urban water supply, various alternative water sources including rainwater tanks, grey water, wastewater and desalination plants are being … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 14,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Performance of Replacement Heifers in Hot Arid Environment Under Intensive ManagementM. A. Razzaque, S. A. Mohammed, T. Al- Mutawa, M. BedairProblem statement: Imported Holstein Friesian dairy cattle are exposed to hot arid climate in feedlot management in Kuwait. Desert climate is extreme reaching high 45-50°C in summer and low -4ºC in winter at day and night respectively. High calf mortality, poor reproduction and milk yields were main constraints to viable dairying. The objectives of this study were to assess the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,983 accessesView PDFCite
