Introduction There is a growing interest in utilizing seaweed ruminant diets for mitigating enteric methane (CH 4 ) emissions while improving animal health. Chondrus crispus red that grows the Gulf of Maine (United States) and has shown to suppress CH production vitro . Organic dairy producers are currently feeding due herd health promoting benefits. However, large-scale adoption depends on tec...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is dependent on androgen receptor signaling and aberrations of the PI3K-Akt-mTORC1 pathway mediating excessive and sustained growth signaling. The nutrient-sensitive kinase mTORC1 is upregulated in nearly 100% of advanced human PCas. Oncogenic mTORC1 signaling activates key subsets of mRNAs that cooperate in distinct steps of PCa initiation and progression. Epidemiological...

This paper presents a linear programming model designed to evaluate the impact of changes in milk to milk-quotaleasing price ratios, nitrogen fertiliser and concentrate prices on the pro®tability of a technically ecient UK dairy farm. The model incorporates energy and protein requirements of cows of di€erent yield levels and allows substitution between forage and concentrate feeds. The results...

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from soy milk were used to produce a multifunctional fermented food. Seven isolates were screened for their ability to produce peptides and free isoflavones in soy milk. The antihypertensive, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties of the resulting fermented soy milks were evaluated in vitro using biochemical assays. Isolates 1-5 were found to be produc...

In a social context, people have a partial knowledge about the world and use arguments in order to solve problems, to reduce conflicts, or to exchange information. Argumentation is a dialogic process, and could occur through direct interaction, or through supports of some sorts—like blackboards, or electronic fora. The same holds for intelligent agents in MAS (multi-agent system), where however...

almost ideal demand system (aids) and rotterdam model have been employed to (by means of seemingly unrelated regression (sur) estimate the function related to milk and dairy products in the urban societies of iran for years 1982 to 2009. cross and cross price elasticities have been evaluated too. results indicated that during the study period, share of milk products in household budget was more...

BACKGROUND Prolonged preoperative fasting increases insulin resistance and current evidence recommends carbohydrate (CHO) drinks 2 hours before surgery. Our hypothesis is that the addition of whey protein to a CHO-based drink not only reduces the inflammatory response but also diminish insulin resistance. METHODS Seventeen patients scheduled to cholecystectomy or inguinal herniorraphy were ra...
