Forty five cattle were included in this study. They were clinically diagnosed as having bovine ephemeral fever (BEF) infection. Blood samples were collected from infected cattle and controls, 20 healthy cattle were included as a control group. Serum was separated and submitted for the determination of hematological values and biochemical values as Calcium, phosphorus, copper, sodium, chloride, iron, potassium, ALP, ALT, AST, total protein, Creatinine, urea. The evaluated hematological parameters showed BEF-infected animals demonstrated a significant decrease (P<0.05) in total Wbcs, Hb.

We investigated the differentially-expressed genes according to litter size in Berkshire pigs using RNA-Seq technology. Pigs were divided into two groups: the larger litter size group (LLG) and the smaller litter size group (SLG). The 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-HPGD) gene was up-regulated in the LLG compared to the SLG. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed the 2-fold increase in 15-HPGD in the LLG compared to the SLG.

Propolis is a natural product used to treat inflammation and microbial infections. This study was performed to evaluate the effects of standardized propolis extract in behavioral and cognitive changes resulting from systemic infection. These changes were evaluated in Wistar rats anesthetized before the surgical procedure of cecal ligation and puncture. They were administered with the antibiotics clindamicine (25 mg/kg) plus gentamicin (3 mg/kg) or propolis extract (100 mg/kg). The control animals received neither ligation nor perforation.

This study aims to evaluate the perception of quality of life at work in informal commerce located in a community in the State of Rio de Janeiro. This research aims to promote sustainable development in communities located in Brazil and abroad, based on research a community located in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro and focusing on one of the pillars of the "Triple Botton Line" that are people .

The aim of this work was to synthesise The conducting polymer (PANI)in the modified electrochemical sensors included (Dimethyl Giyoxime ) to use in the electrochemical sensing of heavy metal ions with (Ni). Electrochemical synthesis experiments were used throughout this study. The polypanlin films (pani) were electrochemically synthesised by cyclic voltammetry on CHI-660C electrochemical device with (H2SO4) represents the anionic dopant.

The ocean sand beaches prove to be relevant transitional systems of the coastal zone, highly dynamic and sensitive by virtue of the movement of sediments transported through the constant effects of the waves, coastal currents, tides and winds. The sandspits of Capri beach, São Francisco do Sul, southern Brazil, are characterized by their high dynamics and close correlation with the resting vegetation. The purpose of this work is to analyze the morphology of sandspit and its interaction with the resting vegetation in the structure of the landscape.

This study aimed to estimate the consumption of the traditional fish products(Faseikh and Maloha), and to determine the amount of fish waste, fish discard, fish losses and their proximate composition to investigate their contribution in the household food security in the Red Sea State. The study adopted the analytical descriptive approach to verify and specify the research issues quantitatively and qualitatively.

Bad handling technique on board for skipjack tuna could cause a decrease in the fish quality. Maintaining fish freshness plays an important role in determining quality of fish product. Study about chilling methods and storage time effect were conducted from November to December 2015. The study aimed to analyze the effects of different chilling method and storage time on the pH and organoleptics of skipjack tuna. Fish sampling were taken from the Seram Sea, Maluku Province.

To study the effect of different temperature and carbohydrate sources, a laboratory experiment was taken and parameters are taken separately. To study the effect of different temperature on the growth of Rhizobium, YEMA medium was used for growth of Rhizobium, there is less growth as compared to 30 c, where significantly increase in biomass growth, up to 30 c temperature. To study the effect of different carbohydrate sources, the Richard medium was used to study the growth of Rhizobium.

Chili peppers belong to the genus Capsicum and have been studied for their bioactivity, provided by secondary metabolites, which can be used for medicinal and agricultural purposes. Some Capsicum species have been submitted to in vitro cultivation systems of cell suspensions, which have been largely reported as safe and standardized methods of production of secondary compounds. The objective of this study was to determine a protocol for the establishment of cell suspensions from stems of the cultivar C. chinense cv. Airetama.
