Effects of supplementary feeding on interspecific dominance hierarchies in garden birds. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Individuals often differ in competitive ability, which can lead to the formation of a dominance hierarchy that governs differential access to resources.

Feeding value of de-hulled sunflower seed meal for broilers

Acta Agrophysica, 2020
The effects of de-hulled sunflower seed meal (SFM) samples with different crude protein (CP) and non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) content on apparent metabolizable energy (AME), AME metabolizability (EM) and pre-caecal protein digestibility (pcPD) were examined. The birds were fed one of four mash diets.

Effect of substituting guinea grass with sunflower hulls on production performance and digestion traits in fattening rabbits

World Rabbit Science, 2018
The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of sunflower hulls (SH) to substitute guinea grass (GG), traditionally used as a fibre source in the diets of fattening rabbits, on production performance, coefficients of total tract apparent ...

Genetic variability and selection criteria of some sunflower genotypes under different pollination methods

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2020
To determinate self-compatible genotypes for increasing autogamy yielded, the ten sunflower genotypes were sown under four pollination methods i.e., open-, self-, hand- and sib-pollinations in a randomized complete block design replicated thrice at Kafr ...

Particles adsorbed at various non-aqueous liquid-liquid interfaces [PDF]

, 2017
Particles adsorbed at liquid interfaces are commonly used to stabilise water-oil Pickering emulsions and water-air foams. The fundamental understanding of the physics of particles adsorbed at water-air and water-oil interfaces is improving significantly ...

Field Trials and Baking Studies of Ultra‐Low Asparagine, Genome Edited (CRISPR/Cas9) and Mutant (TILLING) Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Field trials were conducted of wheat (Triticum aestivum) cv. Cadenza in which asparagine synthetase gene, TaASN2, had been knocked out, either on its own or together with a partial knockout of the related gene, TaASN1, using CRISPR/Cas9. Chemical mutagenesis (TILLING) TaASN2 nulls in the Claire background were also included.

The effects of exogenous lipid on THP-1 cells : an in vitro model of airway aspiration? [PDF]

, 2017
Chronic inflammatory diseases of the airways are associated with gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) and aspiration events. The observation of lipid laden macrophages (LLM) within the airway may indicate aspiration secondary to GOR.
