MICROSATELLITE MAPPING OF QTL AFFECTING GROWTH, FEED CONSUMPTION, EGG PRODUCTION, TONIC IMMOBILITY AND BODY TEMPERATURE OF JAPANESE QUAIL

Microsatellite mapping of QTL affecting growth, feed consumption, egg production, tonic immobility and body temperature of Japanese quail

Abstract Background The Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) is both an animal model in biology and a commercial bird for egg and meat production.Modern research developments with this bird, however, have been slowed down by the limited information that is available on the genetics of the Japanese quail.Recently, quail genetic maps with microsatellit

Phenolics as GABAA Receptor Ligands: An Updated Review

Natural products can act as potential GABA modulators, avoiding the undesirable effects of traditional pharmacology used for the inhibition of the central nervous system such as benzodiazepines (BZD).Phenolics, especially flavonoids and phlorotannins, have been considered as modulators of the BZD-site of GABAA receptors (GABAARs), with sedative, an

Multivariate Adaptive Step Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm Optimized Generalized Regression Neural Network for Short-Term Power Load Forecasting

Short-term load Measuring Spoons forecasting plays a significant role in the management of power plants.In this paper, we propose a multivariate adaptive step fruit fly optimization algorithm (MAFOA) to optimize the smoothing parameter of the generalized regression neural network (GRNN) in the short-term power load forecasting.In addition, due to t

Enthalpy-Sensing Microsystem Effective in Continuous Flow

A new microsystem designed to detect and measure in real time the enthalpy of mixing of two fluid constituents is presented.A preliminary Coil Covers approach to quantify the enthalpy of dilution values or mixing is first discussed.Then, a coherent rationale leading to structure devices operating in real time is formulated, considering the straight
