Scientific data provenance is gaining interest among both scientists and computer scientists. The current state of the art of provenance capture requires scientists to adopt new technologies, most commonly workflow systems such as Kepler [BML06], Vistrails [SKS08] or Taverna [MBZ08], among others. While there are likely additional benefits to adopting these systems, they present a hurdle to sci...

Abstract Introduction Sleep quality is known to be negatively impacted during military operations at sea. Yet, there are limited naval studies that explore measures of sleep disturbances and sleep-related impairment, especially in relation different warship classes. This analysis compares impairment across two classes similar at-sea periods. Methods 432 sailors (77.6% male; 27.4±7.1 years) part...

Abstract The cattle industry and its associated markets are inherently volatile, leading producers to search for more economically sustainable production practices. Supplementation with high protein feed increases yearling gain. However, strategically supplementing in the latter half of grazing season, as forage quality declines, could provide a economical increase gain return management. There...

Bei Menschen mit einer Infektion dem neuartigen Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 und COVID-19-Erkrankung sind Diabetes mellitus kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen sehr häufige Komorbiditäten. Patienten Begleit- beziehungsweise Folgeerkrankungen scheinen ein erhöhtes Risiko für einen schweren Krankheitsverlauf bei COVID-19 einschließlich ARDS Multiorganversagen zu haben. Die genauen Zusammenhänge zwischen COVID...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the dynamics of gas production of several corn (co)products, to develop equations to predict the rate of ruminal fiber digestion, to estimate total digestible nutrients (TDN) and net energy for lactation (NE(L)), and to assess the stochasticity of chemical composition and nutritive value variability. Four corn milling (co)products were evaluated in ...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of supplemental CP source and level of urea on intestinal amino acid (AA) supply and feedlot performance of lambs fed diets based on alkaline hydrogen peroxide-treated wheat straw (AHPWS). In Exp. 1, five cannulated (ruminal, duodenal, and ileal) crossbred wethers (61 kg) were used in a 5 x 5 Latin square design. Treatments consisted of di...

The possibility of utilization dried distillers' grains with solubles (DDGS) in animal feed was investigated. Samples maize hybrids ZP 548 and 655b, DDGS obtained from 548c were used as components the feed. total protein content ranged 12.42% to 31.18%, moisture 5.49% 9.55, ash 1.85% 4.37%. contents NDF, ADF, ADL, hemicellulose cellulose fibers from: 13.90% 48.13%; 2.9% 20.69%; 0.27% 2.44%; 10....

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding corn modified wet distillers grain plus solubles (MWDGS; 48% DM) co-ensiled with chopped whole plant corn (WC) on growth performance, dietary intake, and nutrient digestibility of beef cattle. In Exp. 1, 96 Angus-crossed heifers (2 yr old; 522 ± 49.1 kg BW; 5.3 ± 0.1 BCS) were stratified and blocked according to BW and stratified ...
