A evolução genética das linhagens de frango corte desencadeou ganhos nos índices desempenho e alterações corpóreas. Isto posto, evidencia-se um desafio às indústrias avícolas o cumprimento dos padrões legais teores da Relação Umidade:Proteína (RUP) para deter fraudes por inserção água na carne. Neste sentido, sabe-se que os defeitos musculares peito amadeirado estrias brancas influenciam compos...

INTRODUCTION Software development has become a more complex activity over the last years. Clients have been increasingly demanding higher productivity, better software quality and shorter time to market. Additional strain results from new common requirements such as distribution and concurrent access. These and other non-functional aspects complicate implementation, test and maintenance activit...

The generation of renewable H2 through an efficient photochemical route requires photoinduced electron transfer (ET) from a light harvester to an efficient electrocatalyst in water. Here, we report on a molecular H2 evolution catalyst (NiP) with a DuBois-type [Ni(P2(R')N2(R"))2](2+) core (P2(R')N2(R") = bis(1,5-R'-diphospha-3,7-R"-diazacyclooctane), which contains an outer coordination sphere w...

This discussion describes a study of a particulate semiconductor assembly consisting of a photoactive ruthenium dye-sensitised metal oxide nanoparticle loaded with a synthetic cobaloxime proton reduction catalyst (CoP). The colloidal system evolves H2 during visible light illumination in pH neutral aqueous solution in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor. The ruthenium photosensitiser (...

To ensure that their software teams build the right software the right way, many companies turn to standard processes such as Rational Software's Rational Unified Process® (RUP®), a comprehensive set of industry best practices that provide proven methods and guidelines for developing software applications. Through the application of use cases and other requirements techniques, the RUP helps dev...

The conventional and agile software development process models are proposed and used nowadays in software industry to meet emergent requirements of the customers. Conventional software development models such as Waterfall, V model and RUP have been predominant in industry until mid 1990s, but these models are mainly focused on extensive planning, heavy documentation and team expertise which sui...

Alfalfa was harvested as silage or hay and fed in two 12-wk trials with a 4 x 4 Latin square design that used 12 (trial 1) or 24 (trial 2) multiparous lactating cows (4 ruminally cannulated cows per trial). Diets contained (dry matter basis) 75 or 50% alfalfa plus 24 of 40% high moisture corn (trial 1) or 50% alfalfa, 44 or 41% high moisture corn, with (3%) or without fish meal (trial 2). Exper...

Previous research has demonstrated that extended photoperiod accelerates pubescence in dairy heifers thereby limiting time for mammary development, which could be detrimental to future milk yield. We hypothesized that the potential negative effects of rapid growth and puberty through long-day photoperiod (LDPP) exposure could be overcome with a greater supply of metabolizable protein in dairy h...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is the preferred treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), but persistent pulmonary hypertension after PTE, as a result of either inaccessible distal thrombotic material or coexistent intrinsic small-vessel disease, remains a major determinant of poor outcome. Conventional preoperative evaluation is unreliable in identi...

System development methods have already long been controversially discussed, but there is still a lack of knowledge and understanding based on empirical studies about how systems development is actually conducted in practice, how system development methodologies and methods are used and to what degree they are used as proposed in the literature (Floyd, 1986; Nandhakumar & Avison, 1999). The pur...
