Economic weights (EW) for the Slovak dairy production system were calculated in Holstein, Slovak Simmental, and Slovak Pinzgau breeds under a direct support regime using a bio-economic approach. EW were calculated for three scenarios (A: without agricultural subsidies; B: agricultural subsidies included in revenues and C: agricultural subsidies included in feeding costs). Quota-free milk produc...

Twenty-four Angus x Holstein heifers were utilized in the single-calf heifer system. Calves were weaned from one-half of the dams between d 64 and 89 postpartum. Dam’s were gradually adapted to a high concentrate diet over a four wk period at the beginning of the trial. Heifers that had their calves early weaned (EW) gained 44.2% faster (P < .01) and consumed 10.8% less (P < .05) DM than lactat...

Abstract In the growing application field of electrowetting (EW), reliable control wetting behavior by an applied voltage is required over a wide temperature range. Despite rising interest EW, only few data are reported in literature on EW as function temperature. this paper, we investigate quasi-static response one most widely used hydrophobic materials, Teflon AF1600, range from 25 to 70 $$\,...

The zebrafish is a model organism for studies of vertebrate muscle differentiation and development. However, an understanding of fish muscle physiology during this period is limited. We examined the membrane, contractile, electrical coupling, and synaptic properties of embryonic red (ER) and white (EW) muscle fibers in developing zebrafish from 1 to 5 days postfertilization. Resting membrane po...

PURPOSE To investigate whether indium-111-labeled R1507 ((111)In-R1507) immuno-SPECT (single-photon emission computed tomography), a novel noninvasive, in vivo screening method to visualize membranous insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) expression and accessibility, can be used to predict IGF-1R treatment (R1507) response in bone sarcomas. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN BALB/c nude mice were ...

Genetic correlation coefficients between egg quality traits were studied using fiftysix harco pullets raised under standard management practices. The estimates were carried out at 22-week, 26-week, 30-week and 32-week of age. Egg quality traits studied include egg weight (EW), shell thickness (ST), haugh unit (HU), yolk index (YI) and shape index (SI). Zero to slight negative correlation coeffi...

Brahman × British crossbred steers (n = 40 and 38 in yr 1 and 2, respectively) were used to evaluate the effects of calf management systems following early weaning (EW) on growth performance, muscle gene expression, and carcass characteristics. On the day of EW (d 0), steers were stratified by BW and age (95 ± 14 kg; 74 ± 14 d) and randomly assigned to a control treatment that was normally wean...

Abstract. Enhanced weathering (EW) is a promising strategy for carbon sequestration, but several open questions remain regarding the actual rates of dissolution in conditions natural hydroclimatic variability comparison to laboratory experiments. In this context, models play pivotal role, as they allow exploring and predicting EW dynamics under different environmental conditions. Here comprehen...

In this study, a comparative literature-based assessment of the impact operational factors such as climatic condition, vegetation type, availability land, water, energy and biomass, management practices, cost soil characteristics was carried out on six greenhouse gas removal (GGR) methods. These methods which include forestation, enhanced weathering (EW), carbon sequestration (SCS), biochar, di...
