Lactational performance and plasma and muscle amino acid concentrations in dairy cows fed diets supplying 2 levels of digestible histidine and metabolizable protein

ABSTRACT: The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effect of dietary levels of digestible histidine (dHis) and MP on lactational performance and plasma and muscle concentrations of free AA in dairy cows. A randomized block de...

Assessment of the knowledge, attitudes and practices level on toxoplasmosis and its seroprevalence in selected high-risk groups in Cebu, Philippines

Toxoplasmosis, a zoonotic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii, poses significant health risks, especially to high-risk individuals who are exposed to cats. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to ...

Porang (Amorphophallus oncophyllus) tuber extract improved the histopathological features of diabetic rat (Rattus norvegicus) testicles

This study aims to determine the effect of porang (Amorphophallus oncophyllus) tuber extract on the histopathological features of the testicle of alloxan induced rats (Rattus norvegicus). Thirty male rats were randomly divided into six grou...

The Effects of Eyestalk Ablation on the Androgenic Gland and the Male Reproductive Organs in the Kuruma Prawn <i>Marsupenaeus japonicus</i>

Insulin-like androgenic gland factor (IAG) is considered a key regulator of male sexual differentiation and maturation in decapod crustaceans. In several species, IAG expression is thought to be negatively regulated by the eyestalk, as demo...

Vector-like quark interpretation of excess in Higgs signal strength

There is a +2σ deviation in the average Higgs-signal strength for all the 7+8+13 TeV data up to Summer 2018. We find that a slight reduction of the bottom-Yukawa coupling can fit the data better than the standard model. We suggest an extens...

Vacuum stability in stau-neutralino coannihilation in MSSM

The stau-neutralino coannihilation provides a feasible way to accommodate the observed cosmological dark matter (DM) relic density in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). In such a coannihilation mechanism the stau mass usually...

Right-lateral offset associated with the most recent earthquake on the Ikeda fault of the Median Tectonic Line, southwest Japan, revealed by ground-penetrating radar profiling

Abstract The Median Tectonic Line (MTL) is an arc-parallel strike-slip fault that accommodates much of the arc-parallel component of the oblique convergence of the Philippine Sea and Eurasian plates at the Nankai Trough. The MTL in Shikoku ...

Risk informed and resilient development: Engaging the private sector in the era of the Sendai Framework

Businesses are increasingly aware of their responsibility to work with, and within, their communities towards a resilient and sustainable future for all. This is thanks, in part, to the Sendai Framework, which first recognized the critical ...

SEJARAH SOSIAL KOTA BEKASI

Abstrak Kegiatan penelitian dan penulisan sejarah sosial baru dilakukan sekitar tahun 1950-an, baik di negara-negara maju maupun di negara-negara yang sedang berkembang. Di negara-negara yang sedang berkembang seperti Indonesia, kegiatan p...

Effect of Different Downward Loads and Rotational Speeds on the Removal of Gutta-Percha and Root Canal Sealer Using a Nickel-Titanium Rotary Gutta-Percha Removal System: An Ex Vivo Study

Effective gutta-percha/sealer removal is essential for predictable nonsurgical endodontic retreatment, but the effects of key operational parameters on nickel–titanium rotary removal instruments remain insufficiently understood. This study ...

Insufficient Expression of Cyclooxygenase-2 Protein Is Associated With Retarded Degradation of Aggregated Protein in Diabetic Glomeruli

To elucidate the involvement of cyclooxygenase (COX) in degradation of aggregated protein in diabetic glomeruli, we used streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice and aggregated bovine serum albumin (a-BSA) as a model protein. There was a ...

Increased expression of glutathione peroxidase 3 prevents tendinopathy by suppressing oxidative stress

Tendinopathy, a degenerative disease, is characterized by pain, loss of tendon strength, or rupture. Previous studies have identified multiple risk factors for tendinopathy, including aging and fluoroquinolone use; however, its therapeutic ...

Effect of Overexpression of the Brain-Specific Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger Splice Variant NCX1.5 on NO Cytotoxicity in HEK293 Cells

Abstract.: Nitric oxide (NO) induces cytotoxicity in neuronal and glial cells via activation of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX). This study examined the role of the predominant brain-specific NCX splice variant NCX1.5 in NO-induced cytotoxicit...

Relative Stability of cis- and trans-Hydrindanones

The relative stabilities of several cis- and trans-hydrindanones were compared using both isomerization experiments and MM2 calculations. The generally believed rule that cis-hydrindanones are more stable than trans-isomers is applicable, b...

Results of studies on red snow crab <i>С</i> <i>hionoecetes japonicus</i> in the bathyal zone of the central Japan Sea

Deep-water red snow crab is researched in poorly or never surveyed areas of its habitat in the central part of the Japan Sea, as Kita-Yamato Bank and Peter the Great Seamount on the data obtained aboard RV Vladimir Safonov in April-May 2012...

Decision Support System for Technology Deployment Considering Emergent Behaviors in the Maritime Industry

The maritime industry is trying to utilize new technology for enhancing its competitiveness to overcome today’s severe economic situation, and some interact effects, or potentially emergent effects, will emerge during the introduction of th...

The application of supercritical CO2 in nuclear engineering: A review

Due to its advantages of low critical pressure and temperature, stability, non-toxic, abundant reserves and low cost, supercritical CO2 becomes one of the most common supercritical fluids in modern researches and industries. This paper pres...
