Manure management in livestock makes a significant contribution towards greenhouse gas emissions in the Agriculture; Forestry and Other Land Use category in South Africa. Methane and nitrous oxide emissions are prevalent in contrasting manure management systems; promoting anaerobic and aerobic conditions respectively. In this paper; both Tier 1 and modified Tier 2 approaches of the IPCC guideli...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Glycoproteins D (gD) and G (gG) of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) are virus envelope glycoproteins that are able to induce HSV-1 antibody production in infected persons. Therefore, those proteins could be in interest to develop the serodiagnostic test(s) for HSV antibody detection. The aim of present study was the comparison of anti-gD and anti-gG antibodies in HS...

Neonatally streptozotocin-induced diabetic (n-STZ) rats were given food containing Lactobacilins GG cells (GG) er a control diet <control), from 9 to 18 weeks of age. The GG cells significantly lovvered the blood hemoglobin Aic (HbAic) level and improved glucose to]erance in n-STZ rats (p <O.05). In the GG group, the serum iitsulin level at 30 min after gl"cose loading was significantly higher ...

BACKGROUND The association between CD209 promoter polymorphisms (-336A/G, -871A/G) and tuberculosis (TB) risk has been widely reported, but results of previous studies remain controversial and ambiguous. To assess the association between CD209 polymorphisms and TB risk, a meta-analysis was performed. METHODS Based on comprehensive searches of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Weipu, and CBM...

In this paper, we obtain Jensen’s inequality for GG-convex functions. Also, we get in- equalities alike to Hermite-Hadamard inequality for GG-convex functions. Some examples are given.

Ранее был доказан следующий результат: если абелева группа $\gG$ не является группой кручения, то теория моноида ее конечных подмножеств позволяет интерпретировать элементарную арифметику. В настоящей работе мы приводим пример, который показывает, что аналогичный результат можно получить и, по крайней мере, для некоторых групп кручения. Earlier it was proved the following claim. Let be a non-to...

BACKGROUND The Cyclin D1(CCND1) G870A polymorphism may be associated with breast cancer, but the evidence from individual studies is inconclusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the CCND1 G870A polymorphism and breast cancer risk in a meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched Pubmed and analysed 11 articles on 5,528 cases and 5,353 controls before Febr...

The highly peaked, wide-tailed pdfs that are encountered in many image coding algorithms are often modeled using the family of generalized Gaussian (GG) pdfs. We study entropy coding of quantized GG sources using preex codes that are highly structured, and which therefore involve low computational complexity to utilize. We provide bounds for the redundancy associated with applying these codes t...

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) codes for several envelope glycoproteins, including glycoprotein G-2 (gG-2) of HSV type 2 (HSV-2), which are dispensable for replication in cell culture. However, clinical isolates which are deficient in such proteins occur rarely. We describe here five clinical HSV-2 isolates which were found to be unreactive to a panel of anti-gG-2 monoclonal antibodies and therefor...
