abstract marketing element’s contrastive behaviors toward price risk had considerable effect on marketing margin in a way that transferring increase in price to final consumer, reduces purchasing power and so consumption amounts of consumers. present study evaluated effective parameters on marketing margin in 2 level of ranch-processing and processing- retail of beef and lamb with consideration...

We present the calculation of Next-to-Leading-Order Quantum Chromo Dynamics corrections for the production of a W or Z weak boson associated with a bottom anti-bottom quark pair at hadron colliders (pp̄, pp → W/Z bb̄), including the effects of a non-zero bottomquark mass. We find a considerable reduction of the renormalization and factorization scale dependence of our results with respect to Lead...

This paper examines the environmental and management factors affecting lamb survival on high-performing sheep farms in New Zealand. Improved lambing percentage is the biggest contributor to higher profits on New Zealand sheep farms. Many sheep breeders have selected and bred ewes for increased fecundity over the last 4 decades. The increased proportion of ewes having triplets is of concern to f...

The survival probability, SN(t), of a diffusing prey (‘lamb’) in the proximity of N diffusing predators (a ‘pride of lions’) in one dimension is investigated. When the lions are all to one side of the lamb, the survival probability decays as a non-universal power law, SN(t) ∝ t−βN , with the decay exponent βN proportional to ln N . The crossover behaviour as a function of the relative diffusivi...

Bacteriophage lambda adsorbs to its Escherichia coli K-12 host by interacting with LamB, its cell-surface receptor. We fused C-terminal portions of J, the tail fiber protein of lambda, to maltose-binding protein. Solid-phase binding assays demonstrated that a purified fusion protein comprising only the last 249 residues of J could bind to LamB trimers and inhibited recognition by anti-LamB anti...

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor enhanced the efficacy of liposomal amphotericin B (LAMB) in a murine model of disseminated infection by Rhizopus oryzae, significantly prolonging survival and reducing tissue burden. The use of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) alone was ineffective, and IFN-gamma combined with LAMB did not improve the results obtained with LAMB alone.

We compared the efficacies of liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB) and an amphotericin B lipid complex (ABLC) in diabetic ketoacidotic (DKA) or neutropenic mice with disseminated zygomycosis. ABLC was as effective as LAmB in neutropenic but not DKA mice. Low-dose ABLC was less effective than LAmB at reducing brain fungal burdens in both models.

a study was conducted to evaluate effects of age at weaning on various growth characteristics and stress measures of zandi lambs. the lambs were weaned at 45 and 90 days of age. the body weights and average daily gain (adg) were monitored during the experimental period and 5 months of age. cortisol, glucose, blood urea nitrogen (bun) and lamb behavior (agitation, vocalization) were recorded bef...

The aim of this study was to detect and identify meat species (beef, lamb, pork, chicken, donkey, and horse) in Kebab as a Halal meat-based food sold in on-road-restaurants of North Khorasan province (Iran) using TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Raw Kebab samples (150 samples) were obtained from on-road restaurants. The samples were prepared, DNA was extracted and TaqMan real-t...
