OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic value of serum concentrations of total magnesium (tMg) and ionized magnesium (iMg), concentrations of magnesium (Mg) in muscle, intracellular Mg (icMg) concentrations, urinary Mg excretion (EMg), Mg clearance (CMg), and fractional clearance of Mg (FCMg) in horses fed diets with Mg content above and below National Research Council recommendations.

Solid-state flexible energy storage devices hold the key to realizing portable and flexible electronic devices. Achieving fully flexible energy storage devices requires that all of the essential components (i.e., electrodes, separator, and electrolyte) with specific electrochemical and interfacial properties are integrated into a single solid-state and mechanically flexible unit. In this study,...

The urinary bladder trigone (UBT) is a limited area through which the majority of vessels and nerve fibers penetrate into the urinary bladder and where nerve fibers and intramural neurons are more concentrated. We localized the extramural post-ganglionic autonomic neurons supplying the porcine UBT by means of retrograde tracing (Fast Blue, FB). Moreover, we investigated the phenotype of sympath...

Abstract Trinidad and Tobago (TT) have been producing crude oil commercially since 1908. For the past few decades, TT’s production has in steady decline because most of reservoirs are beyond primary phase their production. This situation coupled with lower energy prices resulted a shortfall revenues presents TT major economic challenges. The objective this study was to optimize field simulation...

In this work, the flooding processes of low salinity waterflooding and polymer (LSWF LSP) in sandstone reservoirs were mechanistically modelled at nano-and macro-scales. Triple-layer surface complexation models utilised to simulate interactions oil-brine sandstone-brine interfaces. The Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory was applied describe stability interfacial films crude oil-brin...

‎In this work, we review the formalism which would allow us to model magnetically deformed neutron stars. We study the effect of different magnetic field configurations on the equation of state (EoS) and ‎the ‎structure of such stars. ‎For this aim‎, the EoS of magnetars is acquired by using the lowest order constraint variational (LOCV) method ‎‎and ‎employing‎ the AV18 potential‎.‎...

1 2 Replicative helicases of all cell types are rings that unwind DNA by steric exclusion in which 3 the helicase ring only encircles the tracking strand, excluding the other strand outside the 4 ring. Steric exclusion mediated unwinding enables helicase rings to bypass blocks on the 5 strand that is excluded from the central channel. Unlike other replicative helicases, 6 eukaryotic CMG encircl...

An extended star is a tree which has only one vertex with degree larger than two. The -center problem in a graph  asks to find a subset  of the vertices of  of cardinality  such that the maximum weighted distances from  to all vertices is minimized. In this paper we consider the -center problem on the unweighted extended stars, and present some properties to find solution.
