We present ONKI ontology server, a ”mash-up” approach for integrating ontology library services with semantic web applications. The idea of ONKI is to provide applications with ready-to-use ontology service functionalities, such as semantic autocompletion, browsing, and annotation support, at the user interface level using AJAX mash-up technologies. The system is being integrated with various s...

Taste bud cells have a limited lifespan and are continuously replaced just like other epithelial cells. Although there is some evidence that taste buds may arise from the local epithelium, taste receptor cells have neuronal properties. This implies that there must be a critical stage at which the epithelial precursor cells for taste receptor cells start to exhibit neural properties during the d...

Enteric and sympathetic neurons have previously been proposed to be lineally related. We present independent lines of evidence that suggest that enteric neurons arise from at least two lineages, only one of which expresses markers in common with sympathoadrenal cells. In the rat, sympathoadrenal markers are expressed, in the same order as in sympathetic neurons, by a subset of enteric neuronal ...

A W-beam to thrie beam stiffness transition with a 102-mm (4in.) tall concrete curb was developed to connect 787-mm (31-in.) tall W-beam guardrail, commonly known as the Midwest Guardrail System (MGS), to a previously developed thrie beam approach guardrail transition system. This upstream stiffness transition was configured with standard steel posts that are commonly used by several state depa...

This article reviews critical aspects of the aquafeed value chain in Kenyan aquaculture sector. Aquaculture production Kenya has grown steadily recent years, to more than 18,000 tons 2019. Due growing demand for fish and products, there been a gradual shift from extensive semi-intensive moderately intensive systems, leading an increased high quality commercial feeds. The current annual feed is ...

The effect of a Buttiauxella phytase, in a dose range of 0-1000 FTU/kg in feed, on production performance in growing/finishing pigs fed European type wheat, corn, barley and SBM based diet was determined. Five dietary treatments were tested including a positive control (PC), a negative control (NC) without inorganic P and with reduced Ca (–0.12%) and metabolisable energy content (–0.14 MJ ME/kg...
