Effects of on growth performance, meat quality, and intestinal health of broilers.

This study investigated the effects of on the growth performance, meat quality and intestinal health of broilers. A total of 800 one-day-old male Arbor Acres broilers were randomly assigned to two groups with 16 replicates of 25 broilers per group and fed with a basal diet (CON) or a basal diet supplemented with 1.5 × 10 cfu/kg and 5 × 10 cfu/kg at 1-21 d and 22-42 d, respectively (CB).

The characteristics and local-regional contributions of atmospheric black carbon over urban and suburban locations in Shanghai, China.

Black carbon (BC), produced from the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous fuels, has emerged as a major contributor to global climate change with adverse health effects. Based on one-year (2016.06.

Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Ecological Conditions and Its Response to Natural Conditions and Human Activities during 1990⁻2010 in the Yangtze River Delta, China.

The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region, including Shanghai City and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces, is the largest metropolitan region in China. In the past three decades, the region has experienced an unprecedented process of rapid and massive urbanization, which has dramatically altered the landscape and detrimentally affected the ecological environments in the region. In this paper, we analyzed the spatiotemporal variations of ecological conditions (Eco_C) via a synthetic index with analytic hierarchy processes in the YRD during 1990⁻2010.

Spatial characteristics and determinants of in-traffic black carbon in Shanghai, China: Combination of mobile monitoring and land use regression model.

Black carbon (BC) has emerged as a major contributor to global climate change. Cities play an important role in global BC emission. The present study investigated the spatial pattern of in-traffic BC at a high spatial resolution in Shanghai, the commercial and financial center in Mainland China.

[Spatial Simulation of Black Carbon Concentrations Based on a Land Use Regression Model and Mobile Monitoring over Shanghai, China].

Black carbon (BC) is an important component of atmospheric pollution and has significant impacts on air quality and human health. Choosing Shanghai city for a case study, this paper explores the statistical characteristics and spatial patterns of BC concentrations using a mobile monitoring method, which differs from traditional fixed-site observations. Land use regression (LUR) modeling was conducted to examine the determinants for on-road BC concentrations, e.
