Two experiments were conducted to compare performance and metabolic responses of beef females consuming low-quality forages and offered an energy supplement based on fibrous byproducts daily (S7) or 3 times per week (S3) at similar weekly rates. In Exp. 1, BW gain, reproductive performance, mRNA expression of hepatic and skeletal muscle genes associated with nutritional metabolism and growth, a...

The voltage-sensing domains in voltage-gated K(+) channels each contain four transmembrane (TM) segments, termed S1 to S4. Previous scanning mutagenesis studies suggest that S1 and S2 are amphipathic membrane spanning alpha-helices that interface directly with the lipid membrane. In contrast, the secondary structure of and/or the environments surrounding S3 and S4 are more complex. For S3, alth...

In this paper, the system comprises of a commensal (S1), two hosts S2 and S3 ie., S2 and S3 both benefit S1, without getting themselves effected either positively or adversely. Further S2 is a commensal of S3, S3 is a host of both S1, S2 and all the three species have limited resources. The basic equations for this model constitute as three first order non-linear ordinary difference equations. ...

Four cost measures s1, s2, s3, s4 were recently studied for sorting the operations in Lazy propagation with arc reversal (LPAR), a join tree propagation approach to Bayesian network inference. It has been suggested to use s1 with LPAR, since there is an effectiveness ranking, say s1, s2, s3, s4, when applied in isolation. In this paper, we also suggest to use s1 with LPAR, but to use s2 to brea...

Bacillus velezensis OSY-S3 produces anti-Listeria, anti-Escherichia coli, and antifungal compounds. Additionally, fermentate of B. velezensis OSY-S3 culture removes Staphylococcus aureus biofilms effectively. The draft genome sequence of B. velezensis OSY-S3 reported here had a genome size of ~3.90 Mb and a G+C content of 46.5%.

This paper considers classical online scheduling problems on uniform machines. We show the tight competitive ratio of LS for any combinations of speeds of three machines. We prove that LS is optimal when s3 ≥ s2 ≥ s1 = 1 and s3 ≥ s2 + s2s3 + s2, where s1, s2, s3 are the speeds of three machines. On the other hand, LS can not be optimal for all combinations of machine speeds, even restricted to ...

Based on a universal seesaw mass matrix model with three scalars φi, and by assuming an S3 flavor symmetry for the Yukawa interactions, the lepton masses and mixings are investigated systematically. In order to understand the observed neutrino mixing, the charged leptons (e, μ, τ) are regarded as the 3 elements (e1, e2, e3) of S3, while the neutrino masseigenstates are regarded as the irreducib...

BACKGROUND Limited information is available about prognostic factors for recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) to the L4-S3 segments. Previous research suggests that L4-S3 SCI does not have a worse prognosis than T3-L3 SCI. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To elucidate prognostic factors for regaining urinary continence and ambulation in dogs with L4-S3 SCI and compare prognosis to T3-L3 SCI. ANIMAL...
