The study was carried out from October 2013 to September 2014 in both organised and small sheep and goat farms of coastal areas viz. Cuddalore, Nagapattinam of Tamil Nadu, India. The objective of the present study is to determine the prevalence and seasonal variation of gastrointestinal parasites in small ruminants. A total of 1356 faecal samples (63 from goat and 50 from sheep per month) were ...

DiNuzzo M. Isn’t functional neuroimaging all about Ca signaling in astrocytes? J Neurophysiol 114: 1353–1356, 2015. First published November 5, 2014; doi:10.1152/jn.00826.2014.—Extensive research over the past decades about the multifaceted roles of brain astrocytes led to the suggestion that the signals observed with functional neuroimaging might primarily reflect astrocytic rather than neuron...

A comparative study of the resonance Raman spectra of a number of hemoproteins with excitation in the Soret region reveals features that characterize the valence and spin state of the iron. (a) The frequency of the strongest band in the spectra for reduced (ferrous) hemoproteins always occurs between 1356 and 1361 cm-l, whereas for oxidized (ferric) proteins it occurs between 1370 and 1378 cm-l...

It is known that extremal doubly-even self-dual codes of length n ≡ 8 or 0 (mod 24) yield 3or 5-designs respectively. In this paper, by using the generator matrices of bordered double circulant doubly-even self-dual codes, we give 3-(n, k; m)-SEEDs with (n, k, m) ∈ {(32, 8, 5), (56, 12, 9), (56, 16, 9), (56, 24, 9), (80, 16, 52)}. With the aid of computer, we obtain 22 generator matrices of bor...

This paper is adapted from the text of a seminar of the same title presented as part of the Workshop on Sustainability of Vegetable Breeders’ Genetic Resources, 26 July 1993, at the 90th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Horticultural Science. It represents the distillation of a more extensive treatment of genetic markers and germplasm management (Bretting and Widrlechner, 1995). Disci...

Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), also known as mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, are rapidly phosphorylated and activated in response to a number of external factors which promote growth and differentiation (T. G. Boulton, S. H. Nye, D. J. Robbins, N. Y. Ip, E. Radziejewska, S. D. Morgenbesser, R. A. DePinho, N. Panayotatos, M. H. Cobb, and G. D. Yancopoulos, Cell, 65: 663-...

Abstract Interest in food and online communication is growing fast among marketing business scholars. Nevertheless, this interest has been not exclusive to these areas. Researchers from different disciplines have focused their research on concepts, target populations, approaches, methodologies, theoretical backgrounds, making body of knowledge richer, but at the same time difficult analyze. In ...
