In cage-free systems, laying hens must lay their eggs in the nests.Selecting layers based on nesting behavior would be a good strategy for improving egg production in these breeding systems.However, little is known about the genetic determinism of nest-related traits.Laying rate in the nests (LRN), clutch number (CN), oviposition traits (OT), and n

Fresh water availability and its shortage is one of the most important issues in the world today that some countries are facing.In the last two decades, Kabul province, Afghanistan, has seen a decrease in water resources under the influence of natural and human factors.The purpose of ULTRA DEFINING GEL this research is to use satellite data and rem

Abstract Background Developing effective strategies to reveal modular structures in protein interaction networks is crucial for better understanding of molecular mechanisms of underlying biological processes.In this paper, we propose a new density-based algorithm (ADHOC) for clustering vertices of a protein interaction network using a novel subgrap

Introduction and purpose Infectious keratitis represents the leading cause of corneal blindness worldwide, particularly in developing countries.Both risk factors and etiological patterns vary between economically developed and developing regions, with bacterial predominance in the former and fungal predominance in the latter.This review aims to pro

PurposePrevious studies suggest that overnight orthokeratology (OOK) may be detrimental to tear function.We aimed to investigate the effect of OOK on lipid layer thickness (LLT), blink pattern, and meibomian gland and elucidate the relationship of these variables.MethodsThirty-seven participants who wore OOK lenses every night for at least 2 years
