Many research works have already been made and are still in progress on metallic fibres, as their incorporation reduces the brittleness of the concrete and improves its resistance to the impact and crack propagation.But the use of such non-metallic fibres may induce corrosion which is a major problem to be addressed from the durability aspect.To ov
Background: The regulation of target gene mRNA mediated by microRNA may play an important role in glucose metabolism in fish.Previous research findings of our research group revealed that Momordica charantia saponin (MS) administration in a high-starch diet could improve insulin resistance of common carp through renovating insulin signaling pathway
Abstract Background The Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) is both an animal model in biology and a commercial bird for egg and meat production.Modern research developments with this bird, however, have been slowed down by the limited information that is available on the genetics of the Japanese quail.Recently, quail genetic maps with microsatellit
