DETERMINING THE VARIATION IN PREMAXILLARY AND DENTARY BONE MORPHOLOGY THAT MAY UNDERLIE BEAK SHAPE BETWEEN TWO PURE LAYER LINES

Determining the variation in premaxillary and dentary bone morphology that may underlie beak shape between two pure layer lines

ABSTRACT: Beak treatment is an effective method of reducing the damage inflicted by severe feather pecking (SFP) but there is significant pressure to eliminate these treatments and rely solely on alternative strategies.Substantial variation in beak shape exists within non-beak treated layer flocks and beak shape appears to be heritable.There is the

Experimental study on deterioration characteristics of foamed concrete under dry-wet cycles in acidic environment

Foamed concrete, which has excellent performance, has been gradually used to enhance the thermal insulation performance of buildings in recent years.However, there are few studies on the durability of foamed concrete under environmental action.In order to understand the law of damage and deterioration of foamed concrete under dry-wet cycles in acid

Antagonistic regulation by insulin-like peptide and activin ensures the elaboration of appropriate dendritic field sizes of amacrine neurons

Establishing appropriate sizes and shapes of dendritic arbors is critical for proper wiring of the central nervous system.Here we report that Insulin-like Peptide 2 (DILP2) locally activates transiently expressed insulin receptors in the central dendrites of Drosophila Dm8 amacrine neurons to positively regulate dendritic field elaboration.We found

Common Law legal norm

In this paper the author attempts to define the folk rivet sweat otherness of common law legal norm in relation to that of a civilian one, through the analysis of differences identified in their formation and language.The first part deals with similarities and discrepancies in the process of creating a legal norm within two major legal families, ex
