Calcium Intake Level as Factor of Influencing of the Eggshell Qualities in Laying Hens

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Food Science and Technology, 2017
The experiments were carried out on four groups of Hy-Line var. Brown hens (n = 350 each) monitored from 20 to 68 weeks of age. The hens were fed on diets which provided the following calcium intakes (%): 2.56 and 3.12 in groups I and II, respectively, 3.

Landscape factors influencing predation on capercaillie nests by two competing mesopredators: pine marten and red fox

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Predation by pine martens Martes martes and red foxes Vulpes vulpes is an important factor influencing the population dynamics of capercaillie Tetrao urogallus. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the relative effects of these mesopredators on the reproductive success of capercaillie. To better understand how various landscape factors influence

Spectromicroscopy Analysis of Chicken Egg Shells

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chicken egg shells, taken from farm and backyard eggs of different suppliers from different regions in Brazil were collected for chemical/structural analysis, in order to try to find if there is a relation between egg shells composition and the type of production (farm or backyard), the egg shell color and the region of production.

What Moves Men to Change? A Mixed‐Methods Study on Facilitators and Barriers of Lifestyle Changes in Men Seeking Fertility Care

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background An unhealthy lifestyle negatively affects male fertility. Despite this, men that are part of an infertile couple often fail to improve their lifestyle and evidence on influencing factors is limited. Objectives To identify facilitators and barriers involved in lifestyle changes of men seeking fertility care and in lifestyle ...

Relationship of Eggshell Ultrastructure and Shell Strength to the Soundness of Shell Eggs

Poultry Science, 1996
Factors affecting the soundness of shell eggs are of primary concern to egg processors due to substantial financial losses from cracked and leaker eggs. Ultrastructural analyses were used to examine the palisade layer width and mammillary knob layer thickness of sound, cracked, and leaker eggshells. Subjective observations were also made.

The oral microbiota and periodontal health in orthodontic patients

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The oral microbiota develops within the first 2 years of childhood and becomes distinct from the parents by 4 years‐of‐age. The oral microbiota plays an important role in the overall health/symbiosis of the individual. Deviations from the state of symbiosis leads to dysbiosis and an increased risk of pathogenicity.

Catalytic Amyloids: Turning Fibrils Into Biocatalysts

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 10, 9 March 2026.
Amyloids, traditionally associated with diseases, have emerged as versatile catalytic scaffolds. From natural amyloid sequences to bioinspired and de novo designs, we highlight strategies to construct catalytic active sites and anchor enzymes onto fibrils, creating versatile nanomaterials with tunable activities. ABSTRACT Amyloids have been regarded as
