Results of SCBA Sire Test in Paraguay
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Senepol demonstration project was conducted on three commercial ranches in Paraguay starting in 1998. One calf crop was produced sired by 10 Senepol sires mated to native Zebu x British cows of varying percentages. A total of 337 calves were produced with a least one recorded measurement. Traits measured included birth, weaning and yearling weights as well as long yearling ultrasound fat thickness, ribeye area and intramuscular fat. This research / demonstration project was considered extremely successful by those involved. Significant sire differences were shown for most traits measured. Results very highly correlated to EPDs calculated from the Senepol National Genetic Evaluation. Yearling weight was the least correlated trait to EPDs. Carcass EPDs generated from this project have been very well received by Senepol breeders worldwide. Distribution of Senepol genetics throughout South America has been a direct result of this project.

Experimental and modeling study of thermal exposure of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
An experimental apparatus designed to study firefighter safety equipment exposed to a thermal environment was developed. The apparatus consisted of an elevated temperature flow loop with the ability to heat the air stream up to 200°C. The thermal and flow conditions at the test section were characterized using thermocouples and bi-directional probes. The safety equipment examined in this study ...
متن کاملA complex role for the gamma-butyrolactone SCB1 in regulating antibiotic production in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2).
Many streptomycetes produce extracellular gamma-butyrolactones. In several cases, these have been shown to act as signals for the onset of antibiotic production. Synthesis of these molecules appears to require a member of the AfsA family of proteins (AfsA is required for A-factor synthesis of the gamma-butyrolactone A-factor and consequently for streptomycin production in Streptomyces griseus)....
متن کاملUse of Slag/Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) Blends in the Production of Alkali-Activated Materials
Blast furnace slag (BFS)/sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) blends were assessed for the production of alkali-activated pastes and mortars. SCBA was collected from a lagoon in which wastes from a sugar cane industry were poured. After previous dry and grinding processes, SCBA was chemically characterized: it had a large percentage of organic matter (ca. 25%). Solutions of sodium hydroxide and sodium...
متن کاملIncorporation of sugarcane bagasse ash waste as an alternative raw material for red ceramic (Incorporação de resíduo de cinzas de bagaço de cana-de-açúcar como uma matéria-prima alternativa para cerâmica vermelha)
The sugarcane industry generates huge amounts of sugarcane bagasse ashes (SCBA). This work investigates the incorporation of a SCBA waste as an alternative raw material into a clay body, replacing natural clay material by up to 20 wt.%. Clay ceramic pieces were produced by uniaxial pressing and fired at temperatures varying from 700 to 1100 oC. The technological properties of the clay ceramic p...
متن کاملSuccessful engineering of a highly potent single-chain variable-fragment (scFv) bispecific antibody to target disialoganglioside (GD2) positive tumors
Engineering potent bispecific antibodies from single-chain variable fragments (scFv) remains difficult due to the inherent instability and insufficient binding of scFv's compared to their parental immunoglobulin format. Previously, we described a scFv-based bispecific antibody (scBA) against disialoganglioside (GD2) based on the anti-GD2 murine 5F11-scFv and the anti-CD3 huOKT3-scFv (5F11-scBA)...
