therefore, the objective of this study is to test the feasibility of uv-ir transmission spectroscopy for the non-destructive assessment of the freshness of an individual egg as an alternative for traditional inspection methods. to obtain a considerable variation in freshness, groups consisting of 10 eggs were stored (30 7 oc and 25% 4 rh) for 30 days. data obtained from non-destructive spectral...

The Y pathway in the cat visual system is traditionally viewed as a single channel that originates in the retina. However, most Y cells from the contralateral retina diverge to innervate two different layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus, suggesting a possible channel split: YC (Y geniculate cell in layer C) and YA (Y geniculate cell in layer A). We tested the functional significance of thi...

Ely, Daniel, Michael Herman, Lawrence Ely, Linda Barrett, and Amy Milsted. Sodium intake is increased by social stress and the Y chromosome and reduced by clonidine. Am. J. Physiol. Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 278: R407–R412, 2000.—The objectives were to determine 1) if female rats have higher Na intake than males and if social stress increases Na intake, 2) if the sympathetic nervous...

STUDY OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of acute REM deprivation on daytime sleepiness/alertness, as measured by the MSLT. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-six healthy, normal volunteers (14 males and 12 females) participated in this study. Participating subjects were in good physical and psychological health and were asymptomatic as to sleep/wake complaints. INTERVENTIONS...

Aim: A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplemental yeast culture (Diamond V XPC Yeast Culture; YC) in broiler diets on carcass characteristics and humoral immune response. Materials and Methods: A total of 240 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly assigned to four YC dietary treatments of 60 birds each. The dietary treatments were 0 (control), 1, 1.25 and 1.5 g YC/k...

Dermal 7alpha- and 7beta-hydroperoxycholest-5-en-3beta-ols (cholesterol 7alpha- and 7beta-hydroperoxides), regarded as good aging markers in the rat (Ozawa, N., Yamazaki, S., Chiba, K., Aoyama, H., Tomisawa, H., Tateishi, M., and Watabe, T. (1991) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 178, 242-247), were reduced in the presence of glutathione (GSH) with concomitant formation of GSSG by cytosol from ra...

Gongga Shan (GGS) is the highest mountain on eastern margin of Tibetan Plateau. However, mechanism for uplift still unclear due to a lack detailed geophysical studies. Inversion an array magnetotelluric data at 120 sites produced 3D resistivity model that revealed GGS massif characterized by high upper crust underlain westward dipping resistor middle crustal depths interpreted as underthrust Ya...
