In seeking alternative cryoprotectants to glycerol for a reference chicken semen freezing procedure, the aim of the present study was to compare the effect of two concentrations of N-Methylacetamide (MA) and two thawing rates on the quality of frozen-thawed semen. Semen samples were diluted in Lake pre-freezing extender, including 0.1 M trehalose in presence of 6% or 9% MA, loaded into straws, frozen in nitrogen vapors, and stored in liquid nitrogen. The following thawing treatments were used: 5 °C for 100 s and 38 °C for 30 s. Sperm quality (cell membrane integrity, motility and kinetic parameters) was assessed before and after cryopreservation. The decrease of MA concentration from 9 to 6% improved sperm quality after freezing/thawing and this effect was dependent on thawing temperature. Decreasing the MA concentration from 9 to 6% improved the proportion of undamaged membrane, motile, and progressive motile sperm recovered after thawing at 5 °C for 100 s; in contrast, no effect of the MA concentration was observed thawing at 38 °C for 30 s. Therefore, the treatment with 6% MA and thawing at 5 °C for 100 s has given the best cryoprotective action. These results contribute to improve the efficacy of the current chicken semen cryopreservation procedures.

The numbers of eggs laid by 654 Aedes hexodontus females, captured in the field, were examined under laboratory conditions in relation to three variables: nutrition, weight, and date of capture of the individuals. Females were weighed before and after engorging with blood and maintained in individual cages at a constant temperature of 20 °C. The mean fecundity of 198 females was 62.3 ± 2.16 eggs. A blood meal was necessary for oviposition in 95% of the individuals. Five per cent of the females oviposited without a blood meal. A diet of a single blood meal and water was insufficient for oviposition and either sugar or raisins was required to supplement the single blood meal. There was a definite correlation between weight and fecundity. Vertebrate blood was a stimulus to egg development. A critical minimum amount of blood was required to initiate ovulation, but blood in excess of this did not increase the number of eggs. No correlation was shown between the fecundity of females in the laboratory and the date of their capture.

The non-isothermal decomposition properties of 2-(2-hydroxy- benzylideneamino)-3-phenylpropanoic acid [HBAPPA] have been studied using microanalysis, FT-IR, UV, DTA, DTG and TG techniques. The TG studies were carried out at different heating rates of 10, 15 and 20 K/min. The Schiff base decomposed in three stages. The kinetic parameters were deduced for each stage. A probable mechanism has been proposed for the decomposition process.
