Ammonia is considered a potential carbon-free alternative to fossil fuels.However, its unfavorable combustion characteristics and propensity to form fuel NOx pose a challenge for its use as fuel for internal combustion engines.The high-pressure dual fuel (HPDF) direct-injection of ammonia could offer the potential to reduce ammonia slip and decreas
SUMMARY: Perches are an important resource for laying hens and differ in characteristics like shape, material and diameter.In this study, different perches were tested in regard to animal welfare, focusing specifically on the behavior and health of laying hens during rearing and lay.Five perches, i.e., square-fiber, mushroom-metal, mushroom-plastic
Nested association mapping (NAM) populations have been widely applied to dissect the genetic basis of complex quantitative traits in a variety of crops.In this study, we developed a Brassica napus NAM (BN-NAM) population consisting of 15 recombination inbred line (RIL) families with 2,425 immortal genotypes.Fifteen high-density genetic linkage maps
