It is well known that during the suckling period pancreatic secretion is low. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with pancreatic-like enzymes of microbial origin (PLEM) and SiO2, as an antibacterial factor, on the performance of piglets fed creep feed during weaning and thereafter. The experiment was performed on piglets from 30 litters. The piglets were
As part of efforts to identify native herbivores of Mexican palo verde, Parkinsonia aculeata L. (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae), as potential biological control agents against this invasive weed in Australia, ten species of Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) were reared from Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Venezuela: Amorbia concavana (Zeller), Platynota rostrana (Walker), Platynota helianthes (Meyrick),
The biochemical methane potential (BMP) assays were used as a tool to investigate methane potential of chicken manure (CM) and three co-substrates (chicken processing waste, Miscanthus and seagrass) in mono-digestion and co-digestion studies for selecting regional biomass in a bid to support the expansion of a full-scale biogas plant. Two types of kinetic models (first order and modified Gompertz
The establishment of a database has been suggested in order to collect, organize, and distribute genetic information about esophageal cancer. The World Organization for Specialized Studies on Diseases of the Esophagus and the Human Variome Project will be in charge of a central database of information about esophageal cancer–related variations from publications, databases, and laboratories; in add
A new analysis procedure for fungicides has been developed gearing toward estimation of worker exposure in greenhouses. The procedure includes sampling on leaves, glass, and polymers using vinclozolin and triadimefon as model substances and starts with solvation of the fungicides with ethanol from the surface. It proceeds by collection of the solution on disks of cloth, disk extraction with excess
Activation energy asymptotic analysis and rate-ratio asymptotic analysis of combustion in laminar, nonpremixed flames are often carried out using conserved scalar quantities as independent variables. One such representation of a conserved scalar quantity is the mixture fraction, ξ, based on thermal diffusivity. These analyses are carried out in the asymptotic limit of large Damköhler number, with
Using the combination of high resolution core level spectroscopy and density functional theory we present adetailed spectroscopic study for all clean and hydrogen covered phases of Ir(100). The results are complementedby an investigation of the hydrogen desorption process from various phases using temperature programmeddesorption spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy. In total, all experi
A new large igneous province (LIP), the 1501 ± 3 Ma Kuonamka LIP, extends across 700 km of northern Siberia and is linked with coeval dikes and sills in the formerly attached Sao Francisco craton (SFC)-Congo craton to yield a short-duration event 2000 km across. The age of the Kuonamka LIP can be summarized as 1501 ± 3 Ma (95% confidence), based on 7 U-Pb ID-TIMS ages (6 new herein) from dolerite
Zonulin is considered a biomarker of increased intestinal permeability, and elevated levels have been found in celiac disease. The primary aim of this study was to examine the association between serum zonulin levels and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, and secondarily, between zonulin levels and anthropometric and metabolic factors. The offspring (n = 363) of the participants of the Malmö Diet and
A method for resolving plasma membrane associated arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) has been developed. Plasma membranes purified by aqueous polymer two‐phase partitioning were first subjected to Triton X‐114 fractionation. The resulting water phase contained all detectable plasma membrane‐bound AGPs. Plasma membrane AGPs were then resolved in an SDS‐agarose gel electrophoresis system (SDS‐AGE). For
Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) after open and robotic radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer. Patients and methods: This was a nationwide population-based cohort study on all women with cervical cancer stage IA1-IB of squamous, adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous histological subtypes, from January 2011 to December 2017,
The formation of malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal (HHE), 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), and 4-oxo-2-nonenal (ONE) in cod liver-, anchovy-, krill-, and algae oil during in vitro digestion with human gastrointestinal fluids was investigated. Adding rabbit gastric lipase, lipase inhibitor (orlistat) and tocopherols to cod liver oil, lipolysis and oxidation was also studied. Among the marine oil
In a gas turbine engine, the low pressure turbine (LPT) and the outlet guide vane (OGV) part are connected in the rear part. The outlet nozzle is designed as a contracted part to increase the ejection velocity and a pocket cavity (PC) is formed at this location. In this research work, the effects of the locations of the PC on the downstream endwall with a symmetrical vane (SV) are investigated and
Islet cell antibodies (ICA), fasting plasma C-peptide, and HbA(1c) were evaluated up to 10 years after diagnosis in 52 patients with diabetes diagnosed in adult age (mean age at diagnosis 53 ± 2 yr, range 21-76 yr) with a high (>20 IU/day) insulin requirement (group A) and in 50 matched control patients with diabetes diagnosed in adult age (mean age at diagnosis 54 ± 2 yr, range 24-73 yr) with low
