EXPOSURE TO INCREASED ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLEXITY DURING REARING REDUCES FEARFULNESS AND INCREASES USE OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACE IN LAYING HENS (GALLUS GALLUS DOMESTICUS)

The complexity of the rearing environment is important for behavioral development and fearfulness.The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that laying hens reared in a complex aviary system with exposure to mild intermittent stressors, would be less fearful, less sensitive to stress, and would use elevated areas of the pen more often as adu

Sub-microscopic (SM) Shopping Totes Plasmodium infections represent transmission reservoirs that could jeopardise malaria elimination goals.A better understanding of the epidemiology of these infections and factors contributing to their occurrence will inform effective elimination strategies.While the epidemiology of SM P.falciparum infections has

Plasma-assisted combustion is an interesting method to promote the ignition of a lean reactive mixture instead of conventional spark Color Changing Cup plugs.Especially, Nanosecond Repetitively Pulsed (NRP) discharges technique is an energy-efficient way to initiate and control combustion processes.Ignition success or failure results from the compe

Hydatid cyst of brain in an extremely rare entity.A case of primary hydatidosis of brain Pants without any involvement of other areas is even rarer.Most commonly involved areas are liver and lung because of rich vascularity and vicinity to portal circulation.Central Nervous System (CNS) or most importantly cases of hydatid cysts of brain are very r
