We have previously investigated the relative roles of extracellular glucose and lactate as fuels for glutamatergic neurons during synaptic activity. The conclusion from these studies was that cultured glutamatergic neurons utilize glucose rather than lactate during NMDA (N-methyl-Daspartate)-induced synaptic activity and that lactate alone is not able to support neurotransmitter glutamate homoe...

A complete diet (Total Mixed ration) with sorghum stover (40%) as sole roughage source was prepared and offered to animals under two forms: as mash or as expanded-extruded pellets (EEP). These two complete diets were compared with a conventional diet (ad libitum chopped sorghum stover fed separately with concentrate mixture to meet 80% of protein requirements). These three diets were randomly a...

We have previously investigated the relative roles of extracellular glucose and lactate as fuels for glutamatergic neurons during synaptic activity. The conclusion from these studies was that cultured glutamatergic neurons utilize glucose rather than lactate during NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate)-induced synaptic activity and that lactate alone is not able to support neurotransmitter glutamate homo...

Background: The impact of continuous and intermittent training on diabetes mellitus condition and its mechanism is not well understood. The aim of the present study was to assess the changes in glucose uptake after 6 weeks of continuous and intermittent exercise training protocols in healthy and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Method: Sixty male al...

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect feeding pelleted or mash ergot contaminated grain continuously intermittently on performance and blood parameters backgrounding steers. Sixty black angus steers (300 ± 29.4 kg) were used in a complete randomized (60% barley silage:40% concentrate DM basis) 84 d study. Steers randomly assigned 4 different treatments housed individua...

Fuorisalone during Milano Design Week, with almost three thousands events spread around more than six hundreds venues, attracts half a million visitors: what do they say and feel about those events? Twindex Fuorisalone is a mash-up that listens what all those visitors posted on Twitter and Instragram in that week. In this paper, we briefly report on how Twindex Fuorisalone works and on its abil...

This paper reports the transistor-level design of a continuous-time 2-1 MASH sigma delta modulator with digital adaptive tuning of the cancellation logic. The modulator is designed for broadband wireless applications and provides 12 bits of resolution for a 10 MHz signal bandwidth. A direct approach to design the CT MASH modulator is used which reduces the coupling between the MASH stages. The ...
