The present study was carried out on 68 barrows equally distributed into two different feeding groups (intensive and restricted).MR tomography was used to obtain data needed for the calculation of optimal slaughter weight.Growth analyses and predictions were performed using an asymmetric S-function.The differences between the predicted and real tim
The discussion of resonance mechanisms for artificial structural units has always been a key to producing highly efficient, active and tunable meta-devices in the fields of controlling surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) to generate surface plasmonic bending beams (SPBs).In this study, an array of 20 antisymmetric double V-shaped structures was desig
The unprecedented rate of metro construction has led to a highly complex network of metro lines.Tunnels are being overlapped to an ever-increasing degree.This paper investigates the deformation response of double-track overlapped tunnels Socks in Tianjin, China using finite element analysis (FEA) and field monitoring, considering the attributes of
Abstract Background Visceral leishmaniasis (VL, kala azar), caused by Leishmania donovani is a major health problem in Sudan and other East African countries.In this region the only proven vectors of L.donovani are Phlebotomus orientalis in eastern Sudan, Ethiopia and Upper Nile areas of Southern Sudan and Phlebotomus martini in Ethiopia, Kenya and
The majority of people receiving treatment for their heroin addiction, are prescribed methadone; for which there is an extensive evidence base.When treatment starts, people take their daily dose of methadone under supervision at a community pharmacy.Supervision guarantees methadone is taken as directed by the individual for whom it has been prescri
