BW of replacement heifers is rarely measured on commercial farms, making it difficult to evaluate the success of management practices related to calf growth. Our aims were to describe variability among commercial farms in Holstein heifer BW, determine how BW differences varied with management and propose a method of estimating calf growth based upon single measurement. Heart girth circumference...

We study the top quark decay to b quark and W boson in the NonCommutative Standard Model (NCSM). The lowest contribution to the decay comes from the terms quadratic in the matrix describing the noncommutative (NC) effects while the linear term is seen to identically vanish because of symmetry. The NC effects are found to be significant only for low values of the NC characteristic scale. PACS:11...

ion of conceptual entities (i.e. codes into categories, and categories into concepts) entails the inheritance of relationships between codes (those identified from the empirical data) by more abstract conceptual entities, i.e. categories abstracted from codes inherit relationships identified between the codes. This way, relationships between categories derive from relationships between the code...

Abstract This study aim to develop the potential of local food into functional breakfast cereal products that are high in energy and rich dietary fiber, as an alternative for individuals with diabetes. The sample formulation is a factorial experimental using Randomized Block Design. factors proportion composite flour consisting black rice, porang, jack bean also addition red dragon fruit concen...

BACKGROUND Birth weight (BW) is a medium- and long-term risk determinant of cardiovascular risk factors. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between BW and cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents of the city of Salvador, Bahia state. METHODS Cross-sectional study with comparison of BW groups. Sample comprising 250 adolescents classified according to the BMI as follows: high-normal (> 50t...

BW 12C, a substituted benzaldehyde, stabilises haemoglobin in the oxy-conformation and has attracted interest as an anti-sickling agent. The drug causes a left shift in the oxygen saturation curve and may induce tumour anoxia and enhance the effect of cytotoxic drugs. During clinical trials in patients with cancer abnormal bands on haemoglobin electrophoretic strips were observed. This made cor...

the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between body weight (bw) and heart girth (hg) in sardi and timahdite sheep in order to develop a prediction equation of bw from hg. the data used for this study included 476 records on bw and hg (227 in sardi and 249 in timahdite) collected on males and females of different ages in 33 private farms. the bw and the hg averaged 34.8 ± ...

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a novel image-guided ablation technique that is increasingly used to treat locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma (LAPC). We describe a 67-year-old male patient with a 5cm stage III pancreatic tumor who was referred for IRE. Because the ventral approach for electrode placement was considered dangerous due to vicinity of the tumor to collateral vessels and du...
