In 3 trials, the effects of dietary supplementation with phytase (PHY) and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-D3) on the digestive and reproductive organ characteristics of commercial layers that were inoculated prelay (12 wk of age) or at the onset of lay (22 wk of age) with F-strain Mycoplasma gallisepticum (FMG) were assessed at 58 wk of age. Experimental layer diets that included a basal control...

The multienzyme complex prolyl 4-hydroxylase catalyzes the hydroxylation of proline residues and acts as a chaperone during collagen synthesis in multicellular organisms. The beta subunit of this complex is identical to protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). The free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is encased in a collagenous exoskeleton and represents an excellent model for the study of col...

In 3 trials, the effects of dietary supplementation with phytase (PHY) and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol on BW and the blood characteristics of commercial layers that were inoculated prelay (12 wk of age) or at the onset of lay (22 wk of age) with F-strain Mycoplasma gallisepticum were assessed at 34, 50, and 58 wk of age. Experimental layer diets, which included either a basal control diet or the ...

Phytochromes are red light (R) and far-red light (FR) receptors that play important roles in many aspects of plant growth and development. Phytochromes mainly function in the nucleus and regulate sets of genes by inhibiting negatively acting basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors named PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTORs (PIFs) in Arabidopsis thaliana Although R/FR photoreversible responses a...

Abstract Humans are well versed in reasoning about the behaviours of physical objects and choosing actions accordingly to accomplish tasks, while this remains a major challenge for artificial intelligence. To facilitate research addressing problem, we propose new testbed that requires an agent reason scenarios take action appropriately. Inspired by knowledge acquired infancy capabilities requir...

Context The importance of lupin in animal nutrition has increased over the years due to its moderate protein content and relative availability. Low inclusion rate broiler diet been associated with presence antinutritional factors. established beneficial effect fermentation as a processing strategy dietary enzyme use improving nutritional value legumes such lupins, thus, necessitated this study....

In this paper, we present a novel module developed for the simulation of the LTE technology with the ns-3 simulator. It focuses mainly on modeling the E-UTRA part of the system, with a particular attention on the aspects related to the channel, PHY and MAC layers. First we discuss the overall modeling assumptions according to which the module was designed. Subsequently, we describe in detail th...
