Five fibre feedstuffs--palm kernel cake (PKC), wheat offal (WO), corn bran (CB), rice bran (RB) and brewers' dried grain (BDG) were used at 25% in each of the five experimental diets that were formulated in this study. Twenty weaner pigs (12.75 ± 0.6 kg) were used for the growth study while 15 pigs (14.95 ± 0.57 kg) were used for the digestibility study. The design of the experiment was completely randomized. The results of the study showed that the performance of the experimental animals were significantly influenced (P 〈 0.05) by the dietary treatments. The apparent digestibility of the crude protein, crude fiber and ether extract showed significant differences (P 〈 0.05) while there was no significant difference (P 〉 0.05) in the apparent digestibility of their dry matter, ash and nitrogen free extract. The diet that contained WO had the best growth response and apparent nutrient digestibility. Results of economics of production also showed that diet with WO gave the best (P 〈 0.05) value in feed cost/'kg gain and net profit/animal. It can be concluded from this study that although all the animals fed the different fibre feedstuffs performed satisfactorily on all the parameters monitored, but for optimum growth, apparent nutrients digestibility and economics of production. WO should be used as a fibre feedstuff in the diets of weaning/growing pigs in the tropics.展开更多

Thus for micro-image fusion, the most important step is to identify the blurring regions within each micro-image, so as to remove their undesirable impacts on the fused image. In this paper, a fusion algorithm based on a novel region growing method is proposed for micro-image fusion. The local sharpness of micro-image is judged block by block, then blocks whose sharpness is lower than an adaptive threshold are used as seeds, and the sharpness of neighbors of each seed are evaluated again during the region growing until the blurring regions are identified completely. With the decreasing in block size, the obtained region segmentation becomes more and more accurate. Finally, the micro-images are fused with pixel-wise fusion rules. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm benefits from the novel region segmentation and it is able to obtain fused micro-image with higher sharpness compared with some popular image fusion method.展开更多

This study involved four irrigation intervals (3, 4, 5 and 6 d) under drip irrigation system, with spraying by five antitranspirant substances (control, kaolin 5 g/L, MgCO3 3 g/L, liquid paraffin 2% and Nu-film 17 1%), which subjected in a factorial experiment within split plot system in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results showed that increasing irrigation intervals from 3 d to 6 d decreased the total water content of the leaves from 83.59% to 81.81%, the rate of relative transpiration from 0.174% to 0.162%, stomata area from 1.620 lam2/stomata to 0.921 ~m2/stomata, plant yield from 542.22 g to 425.80 g, total yield of tubers from 25.808 tons/ha to 20.253 tons/ha and marketable yield of tubers from 24.471 tons/ha to 18.822 tons/ha, whereas caused an increase in the leaf water deficit from 19.19% to 23.86% and water use efficiency from 8.63 kg/m3 to 13.32 kg/m3. Spraying potato plants with liquid paraffin 2% led to the highest total water content 83.37%, stomata area 1.466 ~tm2/stomata, the lowest relative transpiration 0.152%, the lowest leaf water deficit 20.33%, the highest plant yield 509.22 g, total yield 24.236 tons/ha, marketable yield 22.770 tons/ha and water use efficiency I 1.83 kg/m3. On the other hand, the interaction treatments between irrigation intervals and antitranspirants resulted in a significant effect in many studied parameters.展开更多
