Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMercury in Hair of Muskox on the Seward PeninsulaClaudia Ihl, R. Terry Bowyer, Kriya L. Dunlap, Lawrence K. DuffyProblem statement: Muskoxen (Ovibus moschatus) are distant relatives of sheep (Caprinae) and have roamed the Arctic for a million years, with populations reaching North America between 150,000 and 250,000 years ago. Muskox populations could be negatively influenced by climate change and increased exposure to contaminants. Since the snow depth is a critical factor in their ecology, effects could occur throughout … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 24 Mar 2012 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Heat or Heat-Xylose Processing on Nitrogen Fractions and in Situ/In Vitro Ruminal and Post-Ruminal Protein Disappearance of Guar MealHossein Jahani-Azizabadi, Mohsen Danesh Mesgaran, Ali Reza Vakili et al.Problem statement: Guar meal is a by-product consisting of hull and germ and is mostly used as a protein source in poultry and ruminant rations. The aim was to determine the effect of heat or heat-xylose processing on nitrogen fractions, in situ ruminal degradation parameters and in situ/in vitro ruminal and post-ruminal disappearance of guar meal. Approach: Samples were intact … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2010 · 8,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmune Response and Pasteurella Resistance in Rabbits Fed Diets Containing Various Amounts of Black Cumin SeedsNabiela M. El Bagir, Imtitha T.O. Farah, Safia M.B. Elhag et al.Problem statement: The consumption of black cumin (Nigella sativa) seed has immunomodulatory and anti-bacterial activity, but in rabbits this had not yet been tested. Approach: In the present studies, rabbits were fed diets without or with black cumin seed and antibody production, phagocytotic activity, hypersensitivity and resistance against Pasteurellosis were assessed. Results: Feeding black cumin seed significantly increased serum concentrations … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,523 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHow Does The Bone Shaft Geometry Affect its Bending Properties?Kaveh PourAkbar Saffar, Nima JamilPour, Seyed Mohammad RajaaiIn this research, ten fresh specimens of sheep tibiae were provided from slaughtered animals. Whole bone specimens were loaded in three-point bending according to standard wet bone test protocols. Mechanical properties were determined and compared with the results which were obtained from two dry bone tests. The results showed that fracture bending moment and bone extrinsic stiffness had significant relations … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,148 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Deduced Protein Database Using Variable Bit Binary EncodingB. Parvathavarthini, B. Rajesh Kanna, L. RajeswarideviA large amount of biological data is semi-structured and stored in any one the following file formats such as flat, XML and relational files. These databases must be integrated with the structured data available in relational or object-oriented databases. The sequence matching process is difficult in such file format, because string comparison takes more computation cost and time. To reduce … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,512 accessesView PDFCite
