THE EFFECT OF DIETARY FIBRE CONTENT ON SKATOLE AND INDOLE PRODUCTION IN FAECES OF IMMUNOCASTRATED MALE PIGS [PDF]
Poljoprivreda, 2015 The effect of dietary fibre content on intestinal production of indolic compounds was studied in immunocastrated pigs (IC). In addition, entire males (EM) and IC were compared on control diet (with low fibre content).

Entire choosability of near-outerplane graphs [PDF]
, 2008 It is proved that if G is a plane embedding of a K4-minor-free graph with maximum degree Δ, then G is entirely 7-choosable if Δ≤4 and G is entirely (Δ+ 2)-choosable if Δ≥ 5; that is, if every vertex, edge and face of G is given a list of max{7,Δ+2 ...
