Thematic maps reflecting the negative or positive impact of natural and anthropogenic environmental factors on human living conditions are of particular importance in modern world ecological and cartographic research. To optimize the ecological situation in the region, including the river regions and oases of Uzbekistan, such ecological mapping inv...

Spent silkworm pupa is a valuable source of alternative protein in poultry production. Usually the spent silkworm pupae are wasted and may cause environmental pollution and off smell. This feeding experiment was performed to determine the gradual increase of silkworm substitution of soybean on the egg production performance, serum biochemistry and ...

BackgroundMycoplasma synoviae (MS) is known to cause Eggshell Apex Abnormality (EAA) syndrome characterized by an altered shell surface with increased translucency on the apex. However, no large-scale studies have been conducted to obtain prevalence data of EAA and MS isolates associated to this syndrome. This manuscript reports the results of two ...
Water, being the universal solvent, acts as a competing agent in fundamental processes, such as folding, aggregation or biomolecular recognition. A molecular understanding of hydrophobic hydration is of central importance to understanding the subtle free energy differences, which dictate function. Ab initio and classical molecular dynamics simulati...
Modulation of electronic properties of bilayer materials through the strain and doping mismatch between layers opens new opportunities in 2D material straintronics. We present here a new approach allowing to generate asymmetric strain or doping between layers and a method to quantify it using a supported isotopically labeled bilayer graphene studie...
For the development of proton-based electrolytes, high proton conductivity at intermediate temperatures (300–600 °C) is crucial, but the available materials have been confined to a limited number of the structure families, such as cubic perovskites. Herein, we report Ba5Er2Al2ZrO13, a hexagonal perovskite-related oxide, as a new class of proton con...

BackgroundAvian influenza virus infections cause significant economic losses on poultry farms and pose the threat of a possible pandemic outbreak. Routine vaccination of poultry against avian influenza is not recommended in Europe, however it has been ordered in some other countries, and more countries are considering use of the avian influenza vac...
Au droplets are used as a catalyst for the growth of nanowires on Si(111) substrate via the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism. The dewetting of a Au thin film is the most common method to obtain these droplets. The control of this step is crucial to adjust the density and the diameter of the nanowires during VLS growth. When the Si(111) substrate ...
La sélection est particulièrement importante pour le domaine de la production d’œufs, qui est un marché en expansion au niveau mondial. Celui-ci présente une forte segmentation du marché, c'est à dire que chaque pays aura un cahier des charges particulier, dépendant des attentes des consommateurs. Cela signifie que les entreprises de sélection ont ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of increased supplementation of zinc oxide (ZnO) on performance, quality of egg, blood chemistry, and antioxidant ability in serum of laying chickens (Hisex Brown) reared from 22 to 34 weeks of age. Seventy-two 22-week-old laying hens (Hisex Brown) were haphazardly separated into 3 handling collect...
