The efficacy of active immunization against GnRH as a non-invasive alternative to physical castration was assessed in Hereford × Angus bull calves. Calves were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatment groups; unimmunized calves (n = 8), bull calves actively immunized against GnRH (n = 30), or calves castrated at 3 months of age and either non-implanted (n = 9) or implanted with Synovex (n = 9). Im...

The search for the elusive Na-K-ATPase-inhibiting natriuretic hormone continues. In this review, evidence is presented that isolating the carrier protein for natriuretic hormone from hypertensive plasma is a necessary first step before splitting off the final hormone. The carrier protein has a molecular weight of 12 kDa while the final hormone has a molecular weight of 408 Da. Both compounds in...

abstract evaluation of probiotic is not summarized on growth but included the other aspects, such as blood parameters. in this study, effects of two bifidobacter, bifidobacterium animalis and bifidobacterium lactis with three concentrations of 1× 109 (t1), 2× 109 (t2) and 3× 109 (t2) cfu/100g were studied on growth performance and hematological parameters of rainbow trout larvae with initial bo...

The essay is framed by the proposition that cities are the frontier spaces for much of what is usually referred to as global governance challenges. It uses the case of asymmetric war to explore the contradictions that arise from this urbanizing – most significantly, the limits of superior military power when war moves to cities and the ways in which this makes powerlessness complex rather than ...

How does the domestic political climate within democratic states affect the duration of their foreign military engagements? To answer this question we combine a rationalist model of war termination with a theory about how partisan politics affects the policy preferences of national leaders to predict the duration of democratic military interventions. Specifically, we examine how changes in a ch...

A study was conducted to examine the effects of nation-states’ political institutions on state relations. War-fighting and selection-effects explanation were compared to explain why democracies were more likely to win wars. An analysis of all interstate wars between 1816 and 1982 revealed that democracies that initiate wars often win them. Results also suggest that domestic political structure ...

In this resolution, the AD is defined as: The set of wishes, previously and expressly manifested by the patient, about the care and treatment that he or she wants to receive when he or she is unable to freely and autonomously express their will [1]. It states that the individual may choose to record the medical treatments he or she does not wish to receive in certain situations in the future, t...

We investigate the creation mechanism of quantum accelerator modes which are attributed to the existence of the stability islands in an underlying pseudoclassical phase space of the quantum delta-kicked accelerator. Quantum accelerator modes can be created by exposing a Bose-Einstein condensate to a pulsed standing light wave. We show that constructive interference between momentum states popul...

Supreme Court confirmation is an exhaustively studied phenomenon, but lower court confirmation is less well understood, in part because lower court nominees are very rarely rejected, and the Senate fails even to hold a recorded vote for most appointees. However, the length of time it takes to fill a judicial vacancy serves as alternate evidence of conflict between the president and the Senate. ...
