Remote cities face higher prices and have access to fewer products. Large cities also face higher individual...

We have also created a composite ‘safety index’ that takes the value of one if a car has at least five out of eight active and passive safety...

This study revealed that supplemental feeding of 1-yr-old Thoroughbred horses with EA improved nutrient digestibility and fecal floral diversity, leading to enhanced growth performance. The optimal dose was 30 mg/kg body weight. blood biochemical indexes ellagic acid fecal...

To avoid this, we propose to evaluate eutrophication by using a new index based on plankton trophic fluxes instead of biogeochemical concentrations...
