Anapidae are small-sized (~ 3 mm), three-clawed, haplogyne spiders with six or eight eyes situated on an elevated ocular region and an anterior labral spur. The family currently contains 38 genera and 153 species worldwide (Platnick 2013, Lin, Li & Jäger, 2013). Nine species belonging to six genera have been recorded from China (Oi, 1960; Brignoli 1981; Zhang & Chen, 1994; Wunderlich & Song, 19...

ABSTRACT We present new intensity and polarization maps obtained with the QUIJOTE experiment towards Galactic regions W49, W51 IC443, covering frequency range from 10 to 20 GHz at $\sim 1\, \text{deg}$ angular resolution, a sensitivity in 35–79 $\mu \text{K}\, \text{beam}^{-1}$ for total 13–23 polarization. For each region, we combine ancillary data frequencies ranging 0.4 3000 GHz, reconstruct...

The objective of this study was to investigate the variability in broiler performance, apparent metabolisable energy (AME) and ileal digestible energy (IDE) between five different maize samples fed with and without xylanase at 16,000 U/kg. Various in vitro characterisations were conducted to determine if any could predict performance or AME. Samples of the maize were harvested in five diverse r...

The aim of this experiment was to compare the responses of young broiler chickens directly with the responses of turkeys to different dietary phytase concentrations. Nine hundred sixty birds (480 female Ross 308 broilers, and 480 female BUT6 turkeys) were reared in 64 floor pens from 0 to 21 d of age. Each species was fed a nutritionally complete (12.79 MJ/kg of AME, 231 g/kg of CP vs. 11.75 MJ...

This work investigated the effects of Allium ampeloprasum extract (AME) on testosterone synthesis in TM3 Leydig cells under hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress. AME showed no increment cell proliferation oxidatively stressed cells. Testosterone level lowered when were treated with H2O2, but increased presence AME. To determine effect biosynthetic pathway, we examined expression pr...

Wireless technology and the emergence of handheld devices provide new ways to deliver and present information. In the military setting, availability of needed information can be crucial during the decision-making process, especially in a war zone. This paper describes the extension of a Web-based ammunition encyclopedia system developed for the U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC) called t...

S-adenosylmethionine, known for some time to be the biological methyl donor in mammalian enzymatic transmethylation reactions (1,2), has more recently been implicated in other transalkylation reactions in bacteria and yeast (3-6). The enzyme system catalyzing the condensation of ATP and methionine to form AMe’ has been found in a variety of tissues and organisms, and has been purified from two ...
