Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of NutriDense low-phytate corn in conjunction with increasing added dietary fat on growing and finishing pig performance. Diets in both experiments were corn-soybean meal-based, with yellow dent or NutriDense low-phytate corn and 0, 3, or 6% added choice white grease arranged in a 2 x 3 factorial design. There were 25 to 28 pigs per pen and...

In an earlier publication the writers (12) showed that the niacin concentration of dent corn behaved as a so-called quantitative character in inheritance, being determined by many genes of small individual effects. They also showed that niacin concentration could be modified rapidly by selection and saw no reason why hybrids with niacin concentrations as high as 50 micrograms/gram could not be ...

in this paper, electronic, structural, and spectroscopic properties of mono-, di-, tri-, andtetrafluorothiophenes and their radical cations are studied using the density functional theory andb3lyp method with 6-311++g** basis set. also the effects of the number and position of thesubstituent on the electrochemical properties of the thiophene ring have been studied usingoptimized structures obta...

Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), a severe fungal disease causing yield losses worldwide, is most effectively controlled by resistant varieties. Genomic prediction could greatly aid resistance breeding efforts. However, the development of accurate prediction models requires large training sets of genotyped and phenotyped individuals. Maize hybrid breeding is based on distinct heterotic groups t...

The modulus of elasticity of dental amalgam has been determined by analysis of creep data (OGLESBY ET AL, J Res Natl Bur Stan 72C: 203, 1968) and by ultrasonic methods (DICKSON and OGLESBY, J Dent Res 46: 1475, 1967; HALL ET AL, J Dent Res 52: 390, 1973) to be between 63,000 and 70,000 MN/m2. These values represent the instantaneous elastic compliance term when dental amalgam is treated as a vi...

Agenesis and hypodontia are associated with crown-size reduction in the remaining teeth (S. M. GARN ET AL, J Dent Res 41:717, 1962, Nature 200:488-489, 1963; J Dent Res 42:13441363, 1963; H. J. KEENE, Amer J Orth 50: 445-451, 1964; and K. HANIHARA ET AL, J Anthrop Soc Nippon 73:72-81, 1965). The question arises as to whether crown-size reduction associated with tooth number reduction is uniform...
