Authors: Shahawy Mohamed S El
Published: April 2024

The intragastric balloon system is a minimally invasive weight loss measure for people with obesity. Intra Gastric balloons oblige the patient to eat less food, by occupying space in the stomach, creating a feeling of constant satiety. We report a rare case of a 19-year-old Saudi man who presented with morbid obesity. At the time of presentation, the patients weight was 143 kg and BMI 49.48 kg/m2 intragastric balloon insertion done using 6 months END BALL intragastric balloon system at Almana Tertiary Referral Hospital, Dammam, Saudi Arabia. surprisingly, and after 10 months duration of gastric balloon procedure, the patient incredibly lost about 77 kg and his weight become 66 kg and BMI 22.83 kg/m2 and this considered an unusual weight loss after intragastric balloon not previously reported worldwide as loss of about 7% to 15% of body weight is typical during the 6 months after intragastric balloon placement however, in our case the patient lost 53.84% of body weight.

Published: April 2024

The game of Cops and Robber is usually played on a graph, where a group of cops attempt to catch a robber moving along the edges of the graph. The cop number of a graph is the minimum number of cops required to win the game. An important conjecture in this area, due to Meyniel, states that the cop number of an n-vertex connected graph is

$O(\sqrt {n})$

. In 2016, Prałat and Wormald showed that this conjecture holds with high probability for random graphs above the connectedness threshold. Moreover, Łuczak and Prałat showed that on a

$\log $

-scale the cop number demonstrates a surprising zigzag behavior in dense regimes of the binomial random graph

$G(n,p)$

. In this paper, we consider the game of Cops and Robber on a hypergraph, where the players move along hyperedges instead of edges. We show that with high probability the cop number of the k-uniform binomial random hypergraph

$G^k(n,p)$

is

$O\left (\sqrt {\frac {n}{k}}\, \log n \right )$

for a broad range of parameters p and k and that on a

$\log $

-scale our upper bound on the cop number arises as the minimum of two complementary zigzag curves, as opposed to the case of

$G(n,p)$

. Furthermore, we conjecture that the cop number of a connected k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices is

$O\left (\sqrt {\frac {n}{k}}\,\right )$

Published: April 2024

Fossil fuel reserves are swiftly depleting when consumer demand for these fuels
continues to rise. In order to meet the demand and diminish the pollution
derived through conventional fuels, it is crucial to employ cleaner fuels made
from substitutes such as waste biomass. Also, converting waste biomass to fuel
can lower usage of landfills. There are many biomass resources that are suitable
for fuel production, out of which groundnut is also a potential feedstock.
Groundnut shell biomass was chosen for this study, as it is a waste leftover
during shelling of groundnuts for various commercial applications. The procured
groundnut shells were converted to oil using pyrolysis process and was
distilled. Both the pyrolysis oil and the distilled oil were analyzed using
Fourier transform infrared instrument wherein the presence of functional groups
such as alcohols, amines, and carboxylic acids were identified. Further analysis
of the distilled oil using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry indicates
that major peaks correspond to phenolic groups. Acetic groups such as vaccenic
acid and dicarboxylic acid were also identified in the distilled oil.
Physiochemical property tests of distilled oil reveal that the overall qualities
were inferior when compared to diesel. Further studies on using groundnut shell
distilled oil as a fuel for combustion engine can be done using blend
strategy.

Published: April 2024

AISI H13 hot work tool steel is commonly used for applications such as hot
forging and hot extrusion in mechanical working operations that face thermal and
mechanical stress fluctuations, leading to premature failures. Cryogenic
treatment was applied for AISI H13 steel to improve the surface hardness and
thereby fatigue resistance. This work involves failure analysis of H13 steel
specimens subjected to cryogenic treatment and gas nitriding. The specimens were
heated to 1020°C, oil quenched followed by double tempering at 550°C for 2 h,
and subsequently, deep cryogenically treated at −185°C in the cryochamber. Gas
nitriding was carried out for 24 h at 500°C for 200 μm case depth in
NH3 surroundings. The specimens were subjected to rotating
bending fatigue at constant amplitude loading at room temperature. Measurement
of surface roughness, hardness, and microstructural analysis indicated improved
fatigue life for cryogenically treated specimens as compared to gas nitride,
which could be attributed to fine carbide precipitation accountable for the
delayed crack initiation and propagation.

Published: April 2024

Handroanthus impetiginosus (Bignoniaceae) é uma espécie arbórea reconhecida pelo seu potencial ecológico e econômico. A realização de estudos voltados para divergência genética dessa espécie se torna fundamental para o estabelecimento de programas de conservação e melhoramento genético. Neste contexto, objetivou-se analisar a divergência fenotípica entre 63 árvores de uma população de H. impetiginosus a partir de caracteres biométricos de sementes obtidos por meio de técnicas de processamento digital de imagens. Foram obtidos oito caracteres, analisados utilizando-se abordagens de estatística univariada (análise descritiva e correlação simples) e de análise multivariada (análise de componentes principais e análise de agrupamento). Os resultados indicam que todas as variáveis biométricas influenciam a variabilidade entre árvores de H. impetiginosus. A utilização de imagens digitais na biometria de sementes evidenciou a existência de divergência fenotípica, demonstrando eficiência na detecção de diferenças entre árvores, caracterizando-as, portanto, como importantes marcadores morfológicos na diferenciação de genótipos de H. impetiginosus e nos estudos de divergência fenotípica.
Minio dzieciom. O twórczości przekładowej Janusza Minkiewicza
Authors: Nicewicz Ewa
Published: April 2024

Janusz Minkiewicz was an excellent poet, satirist, translator, contributor to many important periodicals, friend of Tuwim and Brzechwa, author of famous satires and political cribs, but also of numerous works for children and translator. His first translation published in book form appeared after the war, quickly gaining a circle of enthusiasts, both among children and adults. To date, more than a dozen titles intended for a young audience have been published, the vast majority of which have been reprinted many times. Minkiewicz translated mainly from Russian, but his translation output also included English poetry, German or Italian. The paper – the result of a search conducted at the Polish Writers Donation Library, at the State Archive in Warsaw, at the Nasza Księgarnia and at the Adam Mickiewicz Museum in Warsaw – is the first attempt to look at Janusz Minkiewicz’s translation output addressed to young readers.
W lustrze przekładu. Translatorska biografia Cristiny Campo
Authors: Ślarzyńska Małgorzata
Published: April 2024

The subject of this article is the translation work of the Italian writer Cristina Campo (born Vittoria Guerrini), one of the most prominent Italian writers of the 20th century, poet, translator, and essayist, analysed in a biographical key. The aim is to look more closely at Cristina Campo’s biography – described so far in the only biography book (De Stefano 2002), but also recorded in the voluminous correspondence the writer left behind – through the framework of her translation activity. Of interest from this point of view become both her translation choices and reading choices (“the lovely kinsmen of the shelf,” as the writer called her favourite books) – related to a large extent to Campo’s literary temperament, her experiences in her private life, and her friends – as well as her choice of translation activity itself, largely conditioned by the need to spend a large part of her life in seclusion due to the incurable heart disease that Campo suffered from since her birth. An attempt will be made to answer the question of how illness and other life circumstances influenced her choice of translation activity, the selection of texts to be translated and the translator’s actual working conditions.

This position is very profitable for bank nagari syariah Bukittinggi. For musyarakah mutanaqisah financing, it is currently also in a favourable position. However, under Murabaha financing with a total strengths-opportunity score of 1.15, this position is still profitable for bank nagari syariah Bukittinggi. However, the weakness of musyarakah mutanaqisah means that financing distribution could be more optimal. Mutanaqisah musyarakah financing has incredible strengths and opportunities if it maximises its strategy. This research can complement existing theory and become a reference for bank nagari syariah Bukittinggi in improving its financing management strategy to support financing growth and meet community needs.
INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF SMAW PARAMETERS ON PROPERTIES OF AH36 JOINTS AND THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF SEAWATER
Authors: Görgün Emre
Published: April 2024

Underwater wet welding (UWW) is a critical technique for repairing offshore structures, underwater pipelines, water transport infrastructure, docks, and harbor equipment. In this study, the mechanical and microstructural properties of AH36 low-carbon steel weldments were investigated using metal arc welding (SMAW), an underwater wet welding method, at various welding current strengths and seawater temperatures. The relationship between changes in seawater temperature and welding current parameters and their impact on seasonal variations in welding conditions and seawater composition was examined. In the first stage, the yield strength of AH36 was statistically modeled using a central composite design with input parameters of seawater temperature (ranging from 9.7 °C to 25.3 °C) and weld current value (ranging from 49A to 90A). Optimal conditions were determined, resulting in a yield strength of 270MPa, achieved at a seawater temperature of 17.5 °C and a weld current value of 69.5 A. In the second stage, data from optimization studies were utilized to develop elemental exchange equations for Cr (R2=87.3), Ni (R2=64.45), and Mn (R2=65.74) ions in seawater. The findings reveal that weld current intensity primarily influences changes in Cr content in seawater, seawater temperature is correlated with Ni content, and both current intensity and seawater temperature affect the Mn content. The analytical techniques employed include Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for seawater ion analysis, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) point analysis to determine the chemical composition of AH36, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) for microstructural analysis.

Published: April 2024

This study aims to analyze the universal message conveyed through the emphasized symbols in the advertisement of L'Oreal Paris Infallible Foundation targeting multicultural audiences. In the era of globalization, global beauty brands such as L'Oreal Paris play a significant role in generating product innovations advertised extensively, including through digital platforms. The Charles Sanders Peirce semiotic analysis method is employed to identify signs and symbols in the advertisement and to analyze the universal meanings and messages conveyed. The findings reveal that the advertisement of L'Oreal Paris Infallible Foundation, showcased on the Official YouTube L'Oreal Paris Indonesia, successfully delivers its universal message by embracing diversity through the representation of models with diverse backgrounds. In this context, diversity is not only seen in the variability of skin tones but also in different cultures, races, and ethnicities. L'Oreal Paris effectively conveys the message that beauty is not confined to specific standards; rather, it is perceived as something broad, inclusive, and represented by various shapes and colors. Furthermore, the slogan "you're worth it" implicitly rejects narrow beauty stereotypes and norms, reinforcing the idea that every individual possesses unique and valuable beauty without having to conform to narrow standards. Thus, this advertisement not only promotes beauty products but also conveys a strong message of self-acceptance and appreciation for diversity in beauty perception. The universal message in this advertisement creates a positive and inclusive relationship with multicultural communities. This underscores the importance of understanding and acknowledging cultural diversity and values held by various societal groups in an increasingly interconnected era of globalization. Hence, L'Oreal Paris is deemed successful in promoting its products with an inclusive and culturally relevant approach, making it a good example of expanding market reach positively and effectively

Epidemiology and Risk Factors of Bacterial Dermohypodermatitis in Conakry (Guinea): A Series of 136 Cases
Authors: Emmanuel Yombouno
Published: April 2024

Bacterial Dermohypodermatitis (DHB) brings together three entities of pathologies with an acute and decidedly serious course in the event of a delay in diagnosis. The prognosis depends on the location and appearance of the local lesion. The objective of our study was to describe the epidemiological aspects and identify the risk factors for bacterial dermohypodermatitis in the dermatology-venereology department of the Donka national hospital (Guinea).

Patients and methods: Retrospective descriptive study covering the files of hospitalized patients over a period of 2 years (2019-2021) with at least one associated risk factor.

Results: We identified 535 cases of bacterial dermohypodermitis, 136 of which had at least one associated risk factor, i.e. 25.4% of cases. A female predominance was noted at 51.5%. The average age of the patients was 49.4±15.2 years. The main risk factors found were the existence of a portal of entry 87,5%, followed by artificial depigmentation 39%, diabetes 27.9%, lymphedema 19.9%, venous insufficiency 7.3%, history of erysipelas 6.6% and obesity with 5.9%. The diagnoses found were necrotizing fasciitis 41.9% followed by erysipelas 39% and necrotizing bacterial dermohypodermatitis 19.1% of cases.

Conclusion: The study showed a female predominance of bacterial dermohypodermatitis. The main risk factors were a portal of entry and artificial depigmentation. It remains a potentially serious pathology favored by the underlying terrain and necrotizing forms.
Misdiagnosis or Missed Diagnosis - Hallux Sesamoid Fractures among Active-Duty Females in the United States Air Force: A Case Series
Authors: Brooks Brandon M.
Published: April 2024

Background: Female service members tend to have a higher level of foot injuries than males. The United States Army spent $103 million in 2017 on fractures in toes and feet. Fractures of the tibial and fibular sesamoids are problem that often can be nonspecific, mainly related to pain at the plantar aspect of the first metatarsal head without an obvious traumatic event. Anatomic variation in these sesamoids exist after ossification which results in the possibility of multipartite sesamoids. Of the multipartite sesamoids, bipartite sesamoids are the relatively common and tripartite sesamoids are quite rare. The overall prevalence of bipartite sesamoids is presumed to be between 7 and 30%, with a majority occurring bilaterally.

Methods: We completed a case series on three female active-duty Airmen. All three patients were active with their pain beginning following activity. All three were subsequently misdiagnosed, resulting in at least 6 months of pain prior to diagnosis and treatment.

Results: Plain film radiography and subsequent imaging confirmed the diagnosis of a tibial or fibular sesamoid fracture. Following conservative treatment all three patients made a full recovery as confirmed by imaging and self-reported pain levels and they were able to return to full activity.

Conclusion: Providers should keep a sesamoid fracture in the differential diagnosis when evaluating active female patients with pain in the area around the base of the great toe, especially in women in the military and others that may do higher levels of physical activity compared to the average patient. While the diagnosis of sesamoid fractures can be challenging, it is standard practice to obtain multiple views if using plain film radiography. Magnetic resonance imaging, weightbearing computed tomography and bone scans can be useful confirmatory studies.
Use of Cold Plasma in the Treatment of Infected Wounds
Authors: Ligresti Claudio
Published: April 2024

The fact that chronic and complex wounds are a serious problem, both for those affected and for the health care system, has been known for decades. Most chronic wounds can be healed through targeted treatment of the cause of the wound and optimal wound care. This includes not only phase-adapted modern wound care, but also, in particular, preparation for surgical coverage. The correct preparation of the wound bed, also known as conditioning, plays an important role in this.

In recent years, the use of Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) has emerged as a promising new option. Here, the wound is regularly treated with a partially ionized gas. According to studies, this active gas mixture has antimicrobial properties and promotes wound healing by activating cell regenerative processes.

To test the efficacy of cold plasma therapy, for complex hard to heel wound with difficult conditions, 40 patients with 41 wounds were included in a retrospective, multicenter observational trial in Italy.

The wounds were complex wounds of different genesis that had been present for at least 2 months (> 60 days) were treated with cold atmospheric plasma, generated with the CE approved handheld plasma device plasma care®. The treatment, as an add on to standard wound therapy, was performed once a week and for 1 Minute per treated wound area for an intervention period of 4 weeks.

In the intervention period, a total of 41 wounds from 40 patients were treated and measured. Two patients left the trial, the others showed an average wound size reduction of 28% within 30 days. Of all wounds, two were completely closed at the end and 10 wounds even achieved a reduction of at least 40%. Analyzed by initial wound size, 43% of wounds smaller than 18 cm² reduction of 40 %. No improvement or worsening of the wound size was only observed in five wounds. The observational trial showed a reduction in the bacterial load and accelerated wound healing. In addition to the bacterial load, improved wound bed conditioning was also demonstrated. Cold plasma therapy is well suited for locally targeted application to promote wound healing. It is an uncomplicated and quickly applicable method with no known side effects or risks at present.
THE BASHKIRS-GAINA PEOPLE IN THE MATERIALS OF THE 1965 EXPEDITION OF UFA ETHNOGRAPHERS
Authors: Makhmudov Albert R.
Published: April 2024

The relevance of the study is determined by the disputes that have arisen in the society in recent decades on the issue – who the Gaina people are, why their ethnic culture differs significantly from other Bashkir groups. The answers to these questions are provided by the field materials of the expedition carried out by the Bashkir branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences in Perm region in 1965 with the participation of prominent ethnographers R.G. Kuzeev, N.V. Bikbulatov and S.N. Shitova.

The purpose of the study is to identify information characterizing the originality of the ethnic history and culture of the Gaina Bashkirs, namely: the time and stages of settling in the territory of Perm Krai, range of settlement, causes of migration, relationships with the local population, economic activities, wedding and ceremonial traditions and other cultural areas.

Materials and methods. The main sources for the study are diary entries, field materials and photo sources collected as a result of expeditionary surveys of Bashkir villages in Perm Oblast. Additional sources were archival materials, ancestries (shezhere), photo sources stored in the Scientific Fund of Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. During the study of the stated topic, methods of analyzing field data, as well as historical-comparative, historical-typological research methods were used.

Study results. The article reconstructs the ethnic history of the Gaina Bashkirs on the basis of field expedition materials of Ufa scientists. Identification and processing the available ethnographic information and their subsequent systematization enabled the author to establish some features characteristic for the ethnic culture of the Gaina Bashkirs, the results of ethnic interaction and mutual influence of the Bashkir and the Tatar cultures. The scientific significance of the expedition materials for the study of the ethnoterritorial group of the northern Bashkirs is shown.

Conclusions. New materials are being introduced into scientific circulation, which make it possible to significantly supplement and clarify the ethnic history and culture of the Bashkirs, to identify local differences taking into account natural-geographical and historical-ethnic traditions. It has been established that archaic elements in the culture of the Bashkir-Gaina people associated with their settled agricultural lifestyle, housing arrangement and features of the traditional costume are of great practical interest.

Although microcalcinates usually are hyperattenuated, which makes them hyperintensive on mammograms, breast cancer is characterized by their small size, which, combined with the small size of their clusters, makes it difficult to identify them, especially against a dense background, which is often noted in fibrous changes in the breast parenchyma. The purpose of the study is to create and evaluate the effectiveness of the block for automatic identification of calcifications and their accumulations on mammograms. Material and methods. Mammograms of patients with suspicious (136 mammograms of 67 patients), as well as benign (299 mammograms of 151 patients) calcifications of various types were analyzed using a proprietary software package. Research results. After analyzing benign calcifications, the system marked all cases (100%) of calcified sediment, rod-shaped, vascular calcifications; 33 out of 36 (92.7%) cases of dystrophic, 66 out of 70 cases (94.3%) of rounded and 12 out of 15 (80%) cases of point calcifications in all patients; as well as 2 out of 3 cases of cutaneous calcifications in 1 out of 2 patients, 103 out of 106 (97.2%) cases of flaky calcifications in 51 out of 52 (98.1%) patients and 19 out of 22 cases (86.4%) of eggshell type calcifications in 10 out of 11 patients (90.9%). Among suspicious calcifications, the system marked 33 out of 39 cases (84.6%) of large heterogeneous calcifications, all 6 cases of small linear branching calcifications and 37 out of 39 (94.9%) cases of small polymorphic calcifications in all patients, as well as 30 out of 36 (83.3%) cases of amorphous calcifications in 15 out of 16 (93.7%) patients and 12 out of 16 (75.0%) cases of small linear calcifications in 6 out of 8 (75.0%) patients. All cases of unmarked suspicious calcifications corresponded to high-intensity soft-tissue shadows associated with indistinctly defined calcifications, which were labeled by the MammCheck II system previously developed by the authors. The frequency of false positive labels was 0.31 per mammogram. Conclusions. Benign calcifications were marked on 282 out of 299 images (94.3%) in 148 out of 151 (98.0%) patients, suspicious calcifications – on 118 out of 136 images (86.8%) in 64 out of 67 patients (95.5%).

The Korean television show phenomenon engages viewers worldwide, transcending cultural boundaries with its gripping narrative of intellectual competition among South Korea's elite universities. Through psychological theories such as Bandura's social learning theory and Deci and Ryan's self-determination theory, the show underscores the significance of academic excellence and the intrinsic motivation driving contestants. Moreover, "University War" promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for STEM fields, reflecting broader societal attitudes toward education and career aspirations. As educators explore ways to sustain interest in STEM among K-Pop wave culture enthusiasts through initiatives inspired by the series, University War stands as a compelling case study highlighting the transformative potential of popular media in shaping educational outcomes and societal perceptions in the digital age.
Plantando a Capoeira Angola

Published: April 2024

Este ensaio pretende sentipensar o evento Plantando a Capoeira Angola, evidenciando o protagonismo de mulheres na capoeira. Partindo de uma confluência de narrativas pautadas em vivências aqui apresentadas, o texto busca articular as experiências que ocorreram no evento a referenciais teóricos de áreas diversas do conhecimento, que põem em diálogo conceitos como sentipensar e performance negra, os quais serão esmiuçados no decorrer do texto. Ao evidenciar como uma vivência entre mulheres capoeiristas pode propiciar reflexões e incentivo para que possamos anunciar um novo tempo, de uma capoeira que acolha a diversidade de corpos que a manifestam, este ensaio afirma participações de mulheridades na capoeira e a importância histórica delas nesse contexto. Tecendo conexões entre mulheridades matripotentes de motrizes africanas e ancestralidades amazônicas em Belém, a presente escrevivência anuncia a eficácia de grupos, rodas de conversas, encontros autogeridos por mulheres como espaços que favorecem a afirmação de identidades plurais no universo da capoeira.
Sobre uma certa noção de ponto de vista
Authors: Pereira Vicente Cretton
Published: April 2024

O artigo busca sistematizar alguns dos elos existentes entre as pesquisas em etnologia nas Terras Baixas da América do Sul e a filosofia de Deleuze & Guattari, apontando os principais conceitos e as formas com que foram utilizados de modo a justificar tais conexões. Principalmente tenta-se responder às seguintes questões: porque e como a filosofia da diferença têm sido boa para que certos etnólogos das terras baixas sul-americanas pensem as visões de mundo dos povos junto aos quais pesquisam? Como mapear o uso desta ferramenta que é a filosofia da diferença? O que a etnologia propôs em termos de produção (e tradução) de conceitos a partir do pensamento de Deleuze & Guattari? Durante este percurso, chega-se, ainda, a uma divisão do encontro entre etnologia indígena e filosofia da diferença em três momentos principais. A primeira na obra de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, a segunda com o trabalho de Tania Stolze Lima, a terceira, mais recente, na qual os pesquisadores voltam a buscar recursos conceituais diretamente na filosofia da diferença a partir do perspectivismo.

Water is ubiquitous in nature, and that is why, perhaps, it is not viewed as a nutrient. In the context of diabetes, water intake may have implications in increasing insulin resistance, development of complications, relation to anti-diabetic agents and also in prevention of diabetes.
In this brief article, we list various aspects of water nutrition, i.e., hydration that support its status as a mega- nutrient, as a preventative therapy against diabetes, and as a treatment modality for diabetes and its complications.

Sixty-four weaned pigs (Large White-Landrace, age = 8 weeks) were assigned to eight groups with eight pigs per group, and each pig was a replicate. A set of four diets formulated, contained cassava root meal (CRM) at 0%, 25%, 50% and 75% replacing maize such that they were without activated charcoal while the next set of four diets had activated charcoal (AC) at 40g/kg diet as a supplement. Thus, making eight diets. The experiment was a 2 x 4 factorial arrangement in a completely randomised design. The result indicated that the interaction effect differs significantly (p< 0.05) for Live Weight (LW), Daily Weight Gain (DWG), Daily Feed Intake (DFI), Feed-Gain ratio (F:G) and Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) intake. Diets with activated charcoal supplementation (ACS) differed significantly (p<0.05) for LW such that the control group had a higher value (29.06kg) which is similar to that of groups 2 (28.25kg) and 3(28.63kg). Diets with ACS (0% and 50% CRM) for DWG recorded the highest value (0.35kg/day) (p<0.05). The least F:G was observed in diet with 50% CRM with ACS. Cyanide intake increased with increasing CRM with or without AC supplementation. Apparent digestibility of CP, EE, CF, NFE and HCN were significantly affected (p<0.05) (i.e by both varying levels of CRM and activated charcoal supplementation) except for nitrogen-free-extract at 25% CRM level where charcoal supplementation had no effect. Digestibility of HCN improved significantly (<0.05) across the CRM levels. The interaction effects of CRM and ACS differ (p<0.05) for cyanide degradability in the stomach, caecum and large intestine. It can be concluded that weaned pigs fed 50% CRM with ACS had higher DWG and F:G. Diets without ACS had significantly better nutrient digestibility at 0% level (control) except for CP and ash at 50% CRM. ACS significantly (p<0.05) influenced HCN degradability but more in the stomach and caecum at 25% CRM level. For improved weight and feed conversion, 50% CRM replacement for maize with ACS is recommended.
