The coefficient of apparent ileal digestibility (CAID) of DM, gross energy (GE), N, and amino acids (AA) of 6 soybean meal (SBM) samples were compared in 21-d-old broilers. In addition, the digestibility of DM and N of diets that contained these SBM were tested in vitro. Four of the SBM were of South American origin, had a CP content varying from 45.2 to 47.2% and a trypsin inhibitor activity (...

Pengsheng Ji and Jiashun Jin have collected and analyzed a fun and fascinating dataset that we are eager to use as an example in a course on Statistical Network Analysis. In this comment, we partition the core of the paper citation graph and interpret the clusters by analyzing the paper abstracts using bag-of-words. Under the Stochastic Blockmodel (SBM), the eigengap reveals the number of clust...

The stochastic block model (SBM) is a popular framework for studying community detection in networks. This model is limited by the assumption that all nodes in the same community are statistically equivalent and have equal expected degrees. The degree-corrected stochastic block model (DCSBM) is a natural extension of SBM that allows for degree heterogeneity within communities. This paper propos...

A study was conducted to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of AA and calculate the NE value for regular-oligosaccharide, micronized full-fat soybean (R-MFFSB), low-oligosaccharide, micronized full-fat soybean (LO-MFFSB), lentil, and enzymatically hydrolyzed casein (EHC) for growing pigs. Six ileal-cannulated barrows (31.4 kg BW) were fed 6 diets in a 6 × 6 Latin square. Five ...

Lynch, G.L., Berger, L.L., Fahey, G.C., Jr. and Baker, E.C., 1986. Effects of isopropyl alcohol treatment of soya bean meal on nitrogen utilization by ruminants. Anim. Feed Sci. Technol., 14: 127-137. Soya bean meal (SBM) treated with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or n-propyl alcohol (NPA) was used to study effects of alcohol treatments on SBM nitrogen (N) utilizatinn by ruminants. The IPA treatments...

A tanulmány arra keres választ, hogy a magyarországi középvállalkozások milyen fenntartható üzleti modellekkel (sustainable business model, SBM) jellemezhetők (illetve jellemezhetők-e velük egyáltalán). szerző először vállalkozások és az SBM-ek elméleti hátterét tekinti át, majd varianciaalapú strukturális egyenletek módszerével (partial least squares structural equation modelling, PLS-SEM) vég...

BACKGROUND Screen-based media (SBM) occupy a considerable portion of young peoples' discretionary leisure time. The aim of this paper was to investigate whether distinct clusters of SBM use exist, and if so, to examine the relationship of any identified clusters with other activity/sedentary behaviours and physical and mental health indicators. METHODS The data for this study come from 643 ad...

Aim: To evaluate the effects of inclusion of roasted guar meal, also known as guar korma, as a partial replacement for deoiled soybean meal (SBM) in commercial broiler diets, on production performance and carcass traits of Cobb-400 broiler chickens. Materials and Methods: 1600 one-day-old Cobb-400 broiler chicks were randomly assigned into four dietary treatments, each with four replicates (n =...
