Temperature manipulation during incubation: effect on embryo development and incidence of white striping and expression of related genes in broiler chickens from two commercial breeds.

1. This study evaluated the effects of cyclic eggshell temperature between 10 and 14 d of embryogenesis on traits . the expression of , and in breast muscle, meat quality and incidence of white striping at slaughter age.

Oxygen and nitrogen enriched pectin-derived micro-meso porous carbon for CO uptake.

Oxygen and nitrogen enriched micro-meso porous carbon powders have been prepared from pectin and melamine as oxygen and nitrogen containing organic precursors, respectively. The synthesis process has been performed following a solvothermal approach in an alkaline solution during which Pluronic F127 was added to the solution as the soft template. Following the solvothermal treatment, the carbonization process has been performed at 700, 850 and 950 °C.
