Carcass measurements from 249 pigs representing all possible two-breed crosses of Minnesota No. 1 (M), Pietrain (P), and Yorkshire (Y) breeds were recorded following slaughter at five developmental stages (35 days of age, 22.5 kg, 45.0 kg, 67.5 kg, and 90.0 kg liveweight). The objectives were to determine how advancing maturity affected reciprocal differences and heterosis, to examine breed differences, and to calculate growth curves for these measurements. Three distinct patterns were observed for reciprocal differences. The first was an increase in magnitude, the second parabolic, and the third a decrease in magnitude. Statistically significant heterosis estimates were too few to allow for an examination of trends associated with advancing maturity. The following breed differences were found: (M = Y)>P for carcass length, M>(P = Y) for mean backfat thickness, P>Y>M for loin eye area, ham weight, boned ham weight, semitendinosus weight, biceps femoris weight, and semimembranosus weight, (P = Y)>M for loin weight, shoulder weight, biceps brachii weights, femur weight, and ham and loin percentage, and Y>(M = P) for humerus weight. The growth curves indicated that 80% of total carcass length was achieved by 45.0 kg, mean backfat thickness, loin eye area, femur weight, and humerus weight had 80% of their growth completed by 67.5 kg, and boned ham weight, loin weight, shoulder weight, biceps brachii weight, ham weight, semitendinosus weight, semimembranosus weight, and biceps femoris increased directly proportional to liveweight.

Two hundred and forty-nine pigs representing all possible two-breed crosses of Minnesota no. 1 (M), Pietrain (P), and Yorkshire (Y) breeds were slaughtered over five developmental stages (35 days of age, 22.5 kg, 45.0 kg, 67.5 kg, and 90 kg liveweight). The objectives were to determine how reciprocal differences and heterosis were affected by advancing maturity, to examine breed differences, and to determine growth curves for certain visceral measurements. Reciprocal differences were observed to show two distinct patterns. The first was characterized by an increase in magnitude relative to stage of development and the second was parabolic. Statistically significant heterosis estimates for these traits were the exception rather than the rule. The following breed differences were found: M > P > Y for large intestine length and leaf fat weight, (M = Y) > P for liver weight, P > Y > M for spleen weight, M > (P = Y) for kidney weight, M > Y > P for stomach weight and M > (P = Y) for small intestine wet weight. The growth curves for the viscera indicated that the intestinal tracts were the first to complete their growth, the internal organs grew relatively slower than liveweight increased, and the majority of leaf fat deposition occurred as the animals approached 90 kg live-weight.

The current pandemic has seen some adverse reactions from the most diverse religious groups all over the world to government regulations. After having described some of their manifestations, this contribution analyzes what the Bible and some post biblical (patristic and Talmudic) traditions say about illness and pandemics. As it is ascertained that these sources contain very limited material on these subjects, the third part of this article proposes some ethical reflections regarding the official response to the pandemic as well as some pastoral implications. Key Words: Pandemic, Religion, Bible, Talmud, Pastoral Care.

Developmental stages of a haemogregarine were found within polychromatocytes and erythrocytes in Giemsa-stained blood smears from six evileye pufferfish (Amblyrhynchotes honckenii) caught at Koppie Alleen in the De Hoop Nature Reserve, South Africa. This unusual haemogregarine, Haemogregarina (sensu lato) koppiensis sp. nov., was characterized by encapsulated gamonts with recurved tails, features more common in haemogregarines infecting amphibian and reptilian erythrocytes than in those from fish. Haemogregarina koppiensis is only the third species of fish haemogregarine to have been described from South Africa.

Effect Of Feeding

AbstractFrom 74 to 180 days of age, a complete diet was offered either ad libitum (AL) or at proportionately 0·8 of the observed consumption (R) to two groups of purebred Yorkshire gilts, comprising 128 and 127 animals, respectively. Half of the animals in each group was served at the first detected oestrus, and the other half at the third detected oestrus, according to a plan defined at the start of the experiment. Animals which failed to show oestrus before 240 days of age were culled.At 100 kg live weight (LW), AL gilts were younger (-20 days) and had thicker backfat (+2.3 mm) than R gilts. At the first detected oestrus, AL females were also younger (198 v. 203 days), heavier (127 v. 117 kg LW) and fatter (17·8 v. 14·7 mm backfat thickness) than R gilts. No difference between feeding treatments during rearing was observed in the percentage of females detected on heat before day 240. Seventy-three animals were culled from the start of the experiment until service, half of them (54%) failing to show oestrus. At service, LW and backfat thickness in the four treatments ranged from 117 to 148 kg LW and 14·9 to 19·7 mm, respectively. The body fatness, estimated from the ratio of backfat to LW, was higher in AL than in R gilts (0·14 and 0·12 , respectively), whereas no difference was observed between E1 and E3 gilts (0·13 on average). After the first service 15% of the gilts came back into heat but the conception rate was not affected by feeding treatment during rearing.

This article seeks to expand the agenda setting theory and its later ramifications, by complementing them with the hypothesis of the articulation function of mass-media. Defined as the capacity of the media to offer people the words and expressions associated with defending specific points of view, the articulation function suggests a new ramification of the agenda setting theory, namely the key words level of agenda setting. Building on the third-level assumption about the transfer of issues and attributes from the media to people’s agenda in bundles, we argue that each issue is in fact transferred together with a set of “key words”, corresponding to the additional sub-topics related to the issue.

SummaryIntroduction: Bastard balm grows in forests, in central and southeastern part of Europe. The herb of this species is rich in phenolics, mainly flavonoids, phenolic acids and coumarins. The plant is used in traditional European medicine, in digestive problems and for aromatizing tobacco and alcohol products.Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of shading on bastard balm development and the accumulation of phenolics in its herb, with special respect to coumarin as a quality marker of this raw material.Methods: The plants were cultivated in full sunlight, in 30% and 50% shade provided by shading nets. The herb was harvested from plants in the third year of vegetation, at four subsequent developmental stages and then subjected to chemical evaluation. In the raw material, the total contents of flavonoids, phenolic acids and coumarins was determined. The content of coumarin was analyzed using HPLC-DAD.Results: Plants grown in 30% shade produced the highest number of flowers and seeds. They produced the highest mass of herb at the beginning of the seed-setting stage. The plants grown in full sunlight revealed the highest content of flavonoids and phenolic acids, especially during flowering and at the beginning of the seed-setting stage. The mass of herb obtained by plants cultivated at deep (50%) shade was the lowest, however, the content of coumarin in these plants was the highest.Conclusion: The influence of shade on bastard balm was expressed by the herb mass and coumarin content increment. The plants thrived best in 30% shade, both in terms of flowering abundance and the mass of herb, whereas those from 50% shade were the richest in coumarin.

This paper describes four different configurations of active devices integration into log periodic antennas (LPAs). The first configuration involves the integration of a single amplifier at the input feed line of a five element log periodic antenna (LPA). The second configuration involves the integration of an amplifier in the middle of the five elements LPA. The third configuration is the five element LPA with individual amplifiers in each element. The last configuration involves the integration of the individual amplifiers and filters with five element LPA in each element. The performance of these configurations have been investigated and compared in terms of the bandwidth, gain relative to a passive LPA, cross polar isolation and half power beamwidth. Key words: Log periodic antenna, active integrated antenna, microstrip antenna, wideband antenna
