Data on N utilisation by sheep-fed diets containing foliages were analysed to develop prediction equations for N excretion in faeces (FN) and urine (UN), and to determine endogenous N excretion. Overall, 218 dietary treatments from forty-four publications were compiled in the database. This database was split into three subsets: without foliage in the diets (FL-0); foliage levels (FL) in betwee...

Background: Anemia is common throughout the world, remarkably in developing countries. Our aim is to calculate normal hemoglobin and other hematological indices in southwest of Iran. Materials and Methods: A random selection of 500 healthy males and 500 healthy females was done in the age group of 13 to 65 years. A complete blood count (CBC) was performed in all participants. Results: Hemoglobi...

Camellia is one of the widely used block ciphers, which has been included in the NESSIE block cipher portfolio and selected as a standard by ISO/IEC. In this study, the authors observe that there exist some interesting properties of the FL/FL functions in Camellia. With this observation they derive some weak keys for the cipher, based on which they present the first known 8-round zero-correlati...

Abstract Background Shifting cultivation is a major agriculture practice in the Nagaland state of India. This study examines effect shifting and length fallow period on soil quality index (SQI). Four sites were selected for study, viz., site (SCS), 3-year-old land (FL-3), 7-year-old (FL-7), 12-year-old (FL-12). Soil parameters recorded seasonally SQI was calculated from minimum data set. Result...

Mauritia flexuosa L. f., Arecaceae, is an endemic species of South America. This species was studied with the intent to isolate the constituents of its roots. After the fractionation of the n-hexane and methanolic extracts from the roots of M. flexuosa, six triterpenes were obtained: friedelin, taraxerone, lupenyl acetate, lupenone, betulin and betulinic acid, along with three flavonoids: rutin...

UNLABELLED Using the general population of the Dionysos Study, we followed up 144 subjects without fatty liver (FL(-)) and 336 with fatty liver (FL(+)) for a median time of 8.5 years. All subjects had suspected liver disease (SLD) defined as altered liver enzymes, high mean corpuscular volume, or low platelet count in the absence of HBV and HCV infection. Ethanol intake was assessed using a foo...

In Drosophila melanogaster, the female sexual development of the soma and the germline requires the activity of the gene Sxl. The somatic cells need the function of the gene fl(2)d to follow the female developmental pathway, due to its involvement in the female-specific splicing of Sxl RNA. Here we report the analysis of both fl(2)d1 and fl(2)d2 mutations: (1) fl(2)d1 is a temperature-sensitive...

Real-time machine learning (ML) has recently attracted significant interest due to its potential support instantaneous learning, adaptation, and decision making in a wide range of application domains, including self-driving vehicles, intelligent transportation, industry automation. In this paper, we investigate real-time ML federated edge intelligence (FEI) system, an computing system that impl...
