the aim of the present study was to screen the genotype profile of bovine kappa-casein gene among frieswal (hf × sahiwal) crossbred cattle developed in india. a total number of two hundred frieswal cows were evaluated for hinfi rflp based genotyping of kappa-casein gene. we observed that only two genotypes (aa and ab) exist among the studied population with the genotype frequency of 0.58 (n=117...

more than 80% of the total milk protein contains caseins that are to forms α-s1, α-s2, β-casein and kappa casein. kappa casein is smaller than other milk proteins but due to have a role in size and stability of micelles. the present study describes polymorphism of kappa casein gene. this is the first study of kappa casein gene polymorphism in najdi cattle of iran. we used the polymerase chain r...

The Purpose of current study is that Osteoporosis is a systemic disorder characterized by low bone mass leading to fractures reported commonly in females after menopause. The investigations for osteoporosis most commonly used DEXA are very costly and not easily available. Few studies have proposed the use of orthopantomogram as a diagnostic marker for osteoporosis as it is simple, quick, easy, ...

It is shown that one can calculate the Hubert-Arabie adjusted Rand index by first forming the fourfold contingency table counting the number of pairs of objects that were placed in the same cluster in both partitions, in the same cluster in one partition but in different clusters in the other partition, and in different clusters in both, and then computing Cohen’s κ on this fourfold table.

The variables were analyzed longitudinal anthropometric that measures the dimension and corporal composition of students of the first Stage of Basic Education of the Educative of the Grand Colombia Educational Unit. The analyzed variables they were: Age, Sex, Weight (W), Height (H), Circumference (AC), Index of Corporal Mass (CMI), cutaneous fold: Triceps (TrP) and Subescapular (SeP), Muscular ...

Objectives: To validate the PUFA/pufa index and to assess the prevalence and severity of oral conditions related to untreated dental caries. Methods: Pufa index records the presence of pulpal exposure (P/p), ulceration caused by sharp edges of dislodged tooth fragments (U/u), fistula (F/f) and abscess (A/a) formation in grossly decayed teeth. Results: Good Kappa values shows reliability of the ...

This study aims to present the cross-cultural adaptation process of the Modified Dyspnea Index to the Brazilian culture and to investigate its content validity and reliability. This process included the steps of translation, back translation and review by two experts to assess semantic, conceptual, idiomatic, cultural and metabolic equivalence.
