How the zebra got its stripes: a problem with too many solutions [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2015
The adaptive significance of zebra stripes has thus far eluded understanding. Many explanations have been suggested, including social cohesion, thermoregulation, predation evasion and avoidance of biting flies.

Implications of white striping and wooden breast abnormalities on quality traits of raw and marinated chicken meat

Animal, 2015
One of the consequences of intense genetic selection for growth of poultry is the recent appearance of abnormalities in chicken breast muscles, such as white striping (characterised by superficial white striations) and wooden breast (characterised by ...

The Planck-LFI instrument: analysis of the 1/f noise and implications for the scanning strategy [PDF]

, 1999
We study the impact of the 1/f noise on the PLANCK Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) osbervations (Mandolesi et al 1998) and describe a simple method for removing striping effects from the maps for a number of different scanning stategies.

Effects of Destriping Errors on CMB Polarisation Power Spectra and and Pixel Noise Covariances [PDF]

, 2006
Low frequency detector noise in CMB experiments must be corrected to produce faithful maps of the temperature and polarization anisotropies. For a Planck-type experiment the low frequency noise corrections lead to residual stripes in the maps.

Effects of feeding different histidine to lysine ratios on performance, meat quality, and the occurrence of breast myopathies in broiler chickens

Poultry Science, 2022
: In modern fast-growing broiler chickens, meat quality becomes increasingly important due to the occurrence of novel breast myopathies such as white striping (WS), woody breast (WB), and spaghetti meat (SM), compromising the sustainability of the ...

Predicting the quality traits of white striped turkey breast by visible/near infra-red spectroscopy and multivariate data analysis

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2020
The appearance of white striations over the breast of chicken and turkey meat is considered as a recent emerging and growing problem. The aim of this research is to investigate the ability of visible-near infra-red (VIS/NIR) spectroscopy to predict the ...

Perfect colourings of isonemal fabrics by thin striping [PDF]

, 2010
Perfect colouring of isonemal fabrics by thin striping of warp and weft and the closely related topic of isonemal prefabrics that fall apart are reconsidered and their relation further explored.

Effect of white striping on chemical composition and nutritional value of chicken breast meat

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2014
White striping defect (appearance of white striations parallel to muscle fiber on surface of breast) is considered an emerging issue in chicken breast meat which is related to increasing growth rate of modern hybrid birds.

The Impact of Thyme and Oregano Essential Oils Dietary Supplementation on Broiler Health, Growth Performance, and Prevalence of Growth-Related Breast Muscle Abnormalities

Animals, 2022
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of thyme and oregano essential oils (as growth promotors), individually and in combination, on the health, growth performance, and prevalence of muscle abnormalities in broiler chickens.

Meat quality attributes of male and female broilers from 4 commercial strains processed for 2 market programs

Poultry Science, 2023
: In recent times, meat quality has become a key aspect of poultry production. In the current study, 2,400 sex separate broilers from 4 commercial strains were placed in 6 replications to evaluate various meat quality characteristics when grown to 2 ...
