  • Very virulent infectious bursal disease virus (vvIBDV) causes high mortality in chickens but measures to reduce the mortality have not been explored. Chickens (8-9 weeks) were treated with 3 agents before and during vvIBDV inoculation. Dexamethasone treatment reduced the mortality of infected chickens (40.7% vs. 3.7%; p < 0.001), but treatment with aspirin or vitamin E plus selenium did not affect the mortality. The bursa of Fabricius appeared to have shrunk in both dead and surviving chickens (p < 0.01). The results indicate that dexamethasone can reduce mortality in vvIBDV-infected chickens and may provide therapeutic clues for saving individual birds infected by the virus.

  • It's important to note that the number of studies on the lateral vibration of steel liquid storage tanks has been quite modest in the past. The aim of this research has to look at the variables that affect vibration of storage tanks and to highlight the characteristics of a construction that hasn't received much attention in the literature. The storage tank has pre-sized in the study, and aluminum and steel have chosen as components. The specified material qualities and the factors utilized in the investigation has used to calculate vibration frequency values. The resulting calculations are backed up by tables and graphs, and it's an important to look into the parameters that affect the vibration frequencies that will occur on the designed storage tank vary. In the literature, water tanks are usually modelled as lumped masses. The horizontal stiffness of the column on which it is placed is assumed to be constant throughout. This is an approximation method of solving this problem. The column is handled in this study with a more realistic approach that fits the continuum mechanics in the analysis. The reservoir part is incorporated directly into the problem as the boundary condition.

  • Along with the increased necessity for an efficient utilization of Korean wild edible plants growing in fields and mountains, attempts were made to investigate the patterns of flavor changes accompanied hy various conditions of dispersion medium. The effect of various pH values and concentration of sucrose or NaCl of dispersion medium on volatile flavor patterns was investigated to evaluate the applicability of flavor components extracted from Capsella bursa-pastoris for food industry. Essential oils from this wild plant were isolated by simultaneous steam distillation-extraction (SDE) method using diethyl ether as solvent. Concentrated samples were analyzed s chromatography (GC) and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Most volatile flavor components of Capsella bursa-pastoris showed good recovery when steam distilled at pH 7 by SDE method. Increasing concentration of sucrose and 15% by NaCl, resulted in greater numbers of identified flavor components from Capsella bursa-pastoris.

  • This study was conducted to determine the volatile flavor compositions of the essential oil and the headspace of Capsella bursa-pastoris Medicus. Essential oil and headspace from the plant were extracted by simultaneous steam distillation extraction (SDE), and solid-phase microextraction(SPME) methods, respectively. Seventy-two compounds including 28 hydrocarbons, 4 aldehydes, 6 ketones, 16 alcohols, 4 esters, 8 acids, and 6 miscellaneous ones were identified in the leaf essential oil extracted by SDE method Sixty-eight compounds including 26 hydrocarbons, 2 aldehydes, 6 ketones, 17 alcohols, 4 esters, 6 acids, and 7 miscellaneous ones were identified in the root essential oil. According to the instrumental analyses the essential oil, phytol ($21.12\%$ in leaves, $20.94\%$ in roots) was the most abundant compound Alcohols, esters, and acids were main groups of the essential oil. On the other hand, thirty-eight compounds including 18 hydrocarbons, 3 aldehydes, 3 ketones, 9 alcohols, 2 esters, 3 miscellaneous ones were identified in the leaf headspace by SPME. In root headspace, thirty-three compounds including 16 hydrocarbons, 2 aldehydes, 1 ketone, 9 alcohols, 3 esten;, and 2 miscellaneous ones were identified. Hydrocarbons($44.02\%$ in leaves, $56.98\%$ in roots) were the main components of the headspace of Capsella bursa-pastoris Medicus.

  • The effects of oligosaccharide supplementation on the growth performance, flock uniformity and GIT development of broiler chickens were investigated. Four diets, one negative control, one positive control supplemented with zinc-bacitracin, and two test diets supplemented with mannoligosaccharide (MOS) and fructooligosaccharide (FOS), were used for the experiment. Birds given MOS or FOS had improved body weight (BW) and feed efficiency (FCR), compared to those fed the negative control diet during the 35-d trial period. The effect on FCR became less apparent when the birds got older. FOS and MOS supplementation reduced the pancreas weight as a percentage of BW, with an effect similar to that of the antibiotic, at 35 d of age. Birds given MOS tended to have a heavier bursa (p = 0.164) and lower spleen/bursa weight ratio (p = 0.102) at 35 d of age. MOS and Zn-bacitracin showed a clear improvement on flock uniformity, compared to FOS. The mortality rate was not affected by FOS or MOS.

  • The bending, stability (buckling) and vibration response of nano sized beams is presented in this study based on the Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory in conjunction with the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. For this purpose, the bending, buckling and vibration problem of Euler-Bernoulli nanobeams are developed and solved on the basis of nonlocal elasticity theory. The effects of various parameters such as nonlocal parameter e0a, length of beam L, mode number n, distributed load q and cross-section on the bending, buckling and vibration behaviors of carbon nanotubes idealized as Euler-Bernoulli nanobeam is investigated. The transverse deflections, maximum transverse deflections, vibrational frequency and buckling load values of carbon nanotubes are given in tables and graphs.

  • The effect of wild vegetables such as Allium tuberosum, Allium monanthum, Sedum sarmentosum, Ixeris dentata and Capsella-bursa pastoris on hexobarbital induced hypnosis was tested in mice. Among them, the methanol extract of Allium tuberosum exhibited significant lengthening of the barbiturate hypnosis. When various fractions prepared from the methanol extract of the Allium tuberosum were administered, the chloroform, ethylacetate and butanol extracts caused a significant activity. Through systematic fractionation by $SiO_2$ column monitoring by bioassays, $1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-{\beta}-carboline$ 3-carboxylic acid from the butanol extract was isolated as one of the active principles of this plant.

  • Let p be a prime number with p > 3, p ≡ 3 (mod 4) and let n be a positive integer. In this paper, we prove that the Diophantine equation (5pn2 - 1)x + (p(p - 5)n2 + 1)y = (pn)z has only the positive integer solution (x, y, z) = (1, 1, 2) where pn ≡ ±1 (mod 5). As an another result, we show that the Diophantine equation (35n2 - 1)x + (14n2 + 1)y = (7n)z has only the positive integer solution (x, y, z) = (1, 1, 2) where n ≡ ±3 (mod 5) or 5 | n. On the proofs, we use the properties of Jacobi symbol and Baker's method.
