Vaccination is the most important way to control infectious bronchitis (IB) in chickens.Since the end of 2015, the Delmarva here (DMV)/1639 strain of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) has caused significant damage to the layer flocks in Eastern Canada.The efficacy of a combination of existing IB vaccines licensed in Canada was assessed against expe
Abstract Due to technological advancements and an increase in population growth, the need for freshwater has escalated.Several techniques have been developed to produce fresh water, and one of the promising techniques is using the solar thermal desalination process.This study conducts experimental analysis on a single slope solar still employing po
Abstract Background Adolescence is a significant period for the gender-dependent development of lung function.Prior studies have shown that DNA methylation (DNA-M) is associated with lung function and DNA-M at some cytosine-phosphate-guanine dinucleotide sites (CpGs) changes over time.This study examined whether changes of DNA-M at lung-function-re
In peat soils, decomposition and degradation reduce the proportion of large pores by breaking down plant debris into smaller fragments and infilling inter-particle pore spaces.This affects water flow and solute migration which, in turn, influence reactive transport processes and biogeochemical functions.In this study we conducted flow-through react
