The objective of this study was to compare two in vivo methods using pigs and roosters and an in vitro method for determining the caloric value of four fiber sources [i.e., two resistant starches (RS 60 and RS 75), soluble corn fiber (SCF 70), and pullulan]. Metabolizable energy (ME) in pigs and true metabolizable energy (TMEn) in roosters were determined by using 72 barrows and 24 roosters, re...

A digi ta l s imula t ion of the photoprocess at a semiconductor e lectrode is described. The s imula t ion model accounts for photogenerat ion, recombinat ion, and t r anspor t of excess free carr iers wi th in the semiconductor phase. The origin of the photopoten t ia l in the absence of fa radaic cur ren t is elucidated. Quant i ta t ive cur ren t eff iciency-potent ial curves for the photoc...

objective: the aim of this experiment was to determine chemical composition, protein quality of corn gluten meal (cgm) and its effect on growth performance of broiler chicks. methods: chemical composition and nitrogen corrected true metabolizable energy of cgm was determined by standard and precision-fed cockerel assay methods.  for evaluating of protein quality, 90 male broiler chicks in a com...

Oat flour, the by-product resulting from commercial production of oat bran, was analyzed to contain 7.7% moisture, 11% CP, 6% crude fat, 8.8% NDF, 1.56% ash (.10% Ca, .23% P), 4,265 kcal/kg GE, .41% lysine, .36% threonine, .17% tryptophan, .21% methionine and .34% cystine. Chick bioassays revealed that lysine and threonine were the first- and second-limiting amino acids in oat flour. Slope-rati...

High throughput and low latency designs are required in m o d e r n high performance systems, especially f o r signal processing applications. Exis t ing logic f a m i l ies canno t provide both of t h e m simultaneously.

For centuries people have said that laughter is the best medicine, but until recently this fact remained scientifically unproven. However, since 1964, when Norman Cousins incorporated humor the rapy in his t r ea tmen t of ankylos ing spondylitis, the medical world has begun to take more serious notice of the healing power of humor and the positive emotions associated with it. The relationship ...
