The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of vitamin E (VE) supplementation on the reproductive and growth performance, hormonal profile, and biochemical parameters of female hybrid red tilapia before spawning season. Seventy-two female hybrid red tilapia were caught with an average body-weight 272.56 ± 34.84g and an average total length 24.3 ± 2.5 cm. Healthy fish were distributed equally into 4 treatments supplemented w...

Purpose This study aimed to develop and evaluate a lateral flow card for the detection of active Schistosoma haematobium infection. Methods In order to prepare the immunochromatography lateral flow strip (ICLFS), antibodies purified from schistosomiasis were conjugated passively with gold nanoparticles using a potassium carbonate buffer. Results The novel ICLFS was able to correctly identify 64 out of 67 samples of schistosomi...

Background DNA barcoding have been considered as a tool to facilitate species identification based on its simplicity and high-level accuracy in compression to the complexity and subjective biases linked to morphological identification of taxa. MaturaseK gene ( MatK gene) of the chloroplast is very vital in the plant system which is involved in the group II intron splicing. The main objective of this study is to determine the r...

Variants of spatial interpolation and data‐driven methods to fill gaps in daily precipitation records are developed and evaluated in this study. The evaluated methods include variations of inverse distance and correlation weighting procedures, linear weight optimization and artificial neural networks. An already existing method, support vector logistic regression‐based copula, is also assessed. Optimal weights are estimated us...
