The Colorado Twin Registry (CTR) is a population-based registry housed at the Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado. Recruited subjects' birth years date from 1968. Four samples comprise the CTR: the Community Twin Sample, Infant Twin Sample, Longitudinal Twin Sample, and the Early Reading Development Sample. Criteria for enrollment, recruitment strategies, demographic infor...

We determined if a microbial inoculant could improve the fermentation and aerobic stability of corn silage subjected to various challenges during storage that included an air stress challenge low packing density. In Experiment 1, whole-plant was untreated (CTR) or treated (INO, Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 Pediococcus pentosaceus 12455. Five individually replicated 7.5-L silos, at density 240 k...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disorders are common in HIV-1 infected persons in Africa and presentation is often insidious. Development of screening algorithms for cardiovascular disorders appropriate to a resource-constrained setting could facilitate timely referral. Cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) on chest radiograph (CXR) has been suggested as a potential screening tool but little is known about its ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of an endocapsular tension ring in preventing zonular complications during phacoemulsification of cataracts associated with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. SETTING Eye Clinic of Beyoğlu Education and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey. METHODS A prospective randomized study comprised 78 eyes with cataract and pseudoexfoliation syndrome that were randomly divided ...

To learn a visual code in an unsupervised manner, one may attempt to capture those features of the stimulus set that would contribute significantly to a statistically efficient representation (as dictated, e.g., by the Minimum Description Length principle). Paradoxically, all the candidate features in this approach need to be known before statistics over them can be computed. This paradox may b...

An electron transport regime is identified in which >1 MA, relativistic currents, generated by high-intensity, laser-target interactions, are collimated (or focused) by self-generated, resistive, magnetic fields within solid-density targets. The strongest magnetic fields appear at the edge of the electric current due to the radial shear in the current density. High-resolution coherent transitio...

A total of 121 steers (162 ± 3.0 kg BW and 148 ± 2.7 d old) were used to study the effect of dietary energy density and meal size (limiting the amount of concentrate delivered at each feeder visit) on performance, hormones associated with the regulation of intake, and carcass and meat quality. Steers were allocated by BW to 6 pens. Each pen had the same BW mean and CV, and pens were randomly as...
