for cage culture. Species which have been researched and successfully reared in cages in the southeastern region of the U.S. include: catfish, trout, tilapia, striped bass, red drum, bluegill sunfish, crappie, and carp. Other species may be suitable for cage culture but research has lagged behind other aquaculture research in recent years. Interest in cage culture has been revived as an alterna...

The proximate composition, amino acids and fatty acids composition in the muscle of wild, inshore and offshore cage-cultured large yellow croaker, Pseudosciaena crocea (Richardson, 1846), were determined to identify nutritional differences. Wild fish groups showed highest content of moisture and crude protein, but the lowest lipid content. Offshore cage-cultured fish showed significantly higher...

We previously reported the role of cancer/testis antigen CAGE in the response to anti-cancer drugs. CAGE increased the expression of cyclinD1, and pGSK3βSer9, an inactive GSK3β, while decreasing the expression of phospho-cyclinD1Thr286. CAGE showed binding to GSK3β and the domain of CAGE (amino acids 231-300) necessary for binding to GSK3β and for the expression regulation of cyclinD1 was deter...

background: in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, mucus production and secretion is high as a result of the endotracheal tube. because endotracheal suction in these patients is essential, chest physiotherapy techniques such as expiratory rib cage compression before endotracheal suctioning can be used as a means to facilitate mobilizing and removing airway secretion and improving alveol...

background:   after cervical discectomy, autogenetic bone is packed into the cage to increase the rate of :union: between adjacent vertebral bodies, but donor site–related complications can still occur. in this study we evaluate the use   of hydroxyapatite granules as a substitute for autograft for interbody fusion.     methods:   from november 2008 to november 2011, 236 patients participated i...

In order to improve the utilization of materials, improving stamping cage processing methods, the single row tapered roller bearing cage is improved from structural strength, puts forward whole stamping cage a type of structure. Use ANSYS finite element analysis to the different structure and the thickness cage. Get the stress contours of the cage, based on equal strength design principles. Get...

In order to find out whether furnished cages contribute to improving the welfare of laying hens, humerus quality and adrenal responsiveness were evaluated in laying hens reared in standard (S) and furnished cages (F). Four cage models were used: S5, a standard cage model with 5 hens per cage; S6, a standard cage model with 6 hens per cage; F7, a furnished cage model with 7 hens per cage (with a...

This study investigates the biomechanical stability of a large interbody spacer inserted by a lateral approach and compares the biomechanical differences with the more conventional transforaminal interbody fusion (TLIF), with and without supplemental pedicle screw (PS) fixation. Twenty-four L2-L3 functional spinal units (FSUs) were tested with three interbody cage options: (i) 18 mm XLIF cage, ...

nowadays, the use of innovative nano-technology in the food industry quality control has significantly increased and it is widely employed in numerous fields such as diagnosis of microbial toxin of foods using nano-biosensors, increasing food shelf-life with the help of nano-clay and nano-silver packaging, as well as changing some of the unpleasant organoleptic properties such as taste, color, ...
