Four trials were conducted with a total of 188 crossbred sows to determine the effect of feeding diets supplemented with tallow (0 or 8%) and choline chloride (220 or 770 mg/kg diet) prior to parturition and during lactation on preweaning pig performance. On d 100 of gestation, sows were allotted to four factorially arranged dietary treatments: 0% tallow-220 mg/kg choline chloride, 0% tallow-77...

Magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) show remarkable stability during extreme photothermal heating (≥770 K), displaying no change in size, crystallinity, or surfactants. The heat produced is also shown as chemically useful, driving the high-barrier thermal decomposition of polypropylene carbonate. This suggests MNPs are better photothermal agents (compared to gold nanoparticles), for photothermally d...

An external cavity 1540-nm diode laser was frequency doubled in a 3-cm-long periodically poled LiNbO(3) waveguide doubler with 150% W(-1) conversion efficiency, thereby generating more than 3 muW at 770 nm. Second-harmonic light was used to detect and lock to sub-Doppler lines of the (39)K D(1) transition.

reduced density matrices of value in calculating the expectation values of various physical quantities is given. The eigenfunctions to the first-order density matrix or natural spin-orbitals have the property that, in the method of configurational interaction for calculating wave functions, they give the most rapid convergence. [The SCIa indicates that this paper has been cited in over 770 publ...

We present evidence for a counter-rotating core in the low-luminosity (M B = −18.2) elliptical galaxy NGC 770 based on internal stellar kinematic data. This counter-rotating core is unusual as NGC 770 is not the primary galaxy in the region and it lies in an environment with evidence of ongoing tidal interactions. We discovered the counter-rotating core via single-slit Keck * /ESI echelle spect...
