Fish (initial body weight of 1677 g+ 157 g) were fed with four commercial feeds (Nosan salmon-NS, Aller gold-AG, Skretting salmon-SS and Hart ye-HY) in two feeding regimes (80% and 100% satiation) for 78 d. The results showed that salmon specific growth ratio (SGR) and weight gain ratio (WGR) were significantly affected by feed type and feeding regime (P〈0.05). Feed conversion ratio (FCR) varied between 0.93 and 3.40, which was significantly affected by feed type (P〈0.05), and slightly improved with increased satiation degree. The activities of digestive enzymes including protease, lipase and amylase were also significantly affected by feed type and feeding regime (P〈0.05), increasing with satiation degree. Flesh qualities for vitamin E, hydroxyproline (HYP), liquid loss and muscle pH among all groups showed significant differences (P〈0.05), ranging from 26.67 to 29.67, while no obvious difference was found in flesh color. Fecal viscosity for different treatments showed no significant difference, though improvement was found in 100% satiation group. From present experiment, it was concluded that both feed type and feeding regime can affect the important quality attributes of Atlantic salmon.展开更多

The ...The effect of varied processing variables (yam slice thickness, drying temperatures and type of drying) were investigated to determine their effects on the proximate and some functional properties of yam flour. The yam flour was produced with different slice thickness of 1, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 5 cm using both conventional sun drying method and oven drying at temperatures; 40 ~C, 50 ~C, 60 ~C and 70 ~C. The moisture content of all the yam flour samples increased with increasing yam slice thickness, with the samples sun dried having the lowest values (6.20%-6.87%) followed by those dried at 70 ~C and then 60 ~C. The protein content of the yam flour samples increased with increase in slice thickness and decreased with increase in drying temperatures while the fat and the crude fibre of all the yam flour samples decreased with increase in slice thickness. The water absorption capacity of the sun dried yam flour samples decreased with increase in slice thickness while the syneresis value, bulk density and the gel strength increased with increase in slice thickness for all drying temperatures and for sun dried yam flour samples but smaller slice thickness had higher swelling capacity.展开更多

As a total of 115 individual milk samples from 53 Anatolian buffalo cows that calved in 2004 and 2005 on days of their lactations 30 ± 15, 60 ± 15, 90 ±15, 120 ± 15, 150 ± 15, 180± 15, 210 ±15, 240 ± 15 and 270 ± 15 in 8 units of lhkpmar village were collected in morning milkings in June, September, December and March. Samples were analysed for total dry matter (TDM), fat, protein, ash, density, pH, acidity, renneting time and urea content. Data were classified according to the following environmental factors: lactation stages: (30 ± 15, 60 i 15, 90 ±15 days): 2 (120±15, 150 ± 15, 180 ± 15 days): 3 (210 ± 15, 240 ± 15, 270± 15 days); calving year: 1 (2004), 2 (2005); calving season: 1 (January-May), 2 (September and October); month of samples collection: 1 (June), 2 (September), 3 (December), 4 (March); lactation order: 1 and 2:1, 3 and 4:2, 5 and 6:3. Means and correlation coefficients for the characteristics investigated were calculated. There were negative significant correlations between daily milk yield with TDM, fat and protein percentages, and between pH and all of the milk constituents. Density reduces as TDM, fat and protein contents increase. Relationships between density and coagulation time with milk yield and pH were not significant. Relationships between milk urea concentration with none of milk constituents, milk yield, density, pH and titratable acidity were not significant statistically. It was concluded that genetic selection has to be directed towards increasing fat, protein and total not fat dry matter yields. Under selection programs in which milk yield is taken into consideration, fat and protein yields also increase, but fat and protein concentrations decrease.展开更多

This is a property of metric spaces introduced in earlier works of the authors for its applications to K-theory. Geometric property(T) is a strong form of "expansion property", in particular, for a sequence(Xn)of bounded degree finite graphs, it is strictly stronger than(Xn) being an expander in the sense that the Cheeger constants h(Xn) are bounded below.In this paper, the authors show that geometric property(T) is a coarse invariant,i.e., it depends only on the large-scale geometry of a metric space X. The authors also discuss how geometric property(T) interacts with amenability, property(T) for groups,and coarse geometric notions of a-T-menability. In particular, it is shown that property(T) for a residually finite group is characterised by geometric property(T) for its finite quotients.展开更多
