Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) has been widely accepted as the radio access scheme for third generation (3G) wireless system known as International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000). One of the main objectives of IMT-2000 is to support high and widely variable data rate users with high quality and achieve enhanced system coverage and capacity. Most time-reference beamfo...

Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) is the primary mechanism for realizing real-space chiral spin textures, which are regarded as key components next-generation spintronics. However, DMI arises from a perturbation term of spin-orbit and usually weak in pristine magnetic semiconductors. To date, large resulting skyrmions only realized few materials under stringent conditions. Using first-pri...

AIMS We sought to assess the indexes of myocardial activation delay, using Doppler myocardial imaging (DMI), as potential predictors of cardiac events in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The distribution and magnitude of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy are not uniform in patients with HCM, which results in heterogeneity of regional LV systolic function. METHODS AND RESULTS T...

The present study was conducted to evaluate whether bodyweight and the micronisation of dietary fibre affect the endogenous nitrogen and amino acid losses (ENL and EAAL) in pigs. The effect of the micronising process was tested by providing pigs with 90 g DM x kg(-1) BW0.75 of a N-free diet supplemented with isolated pea inner fibres, presented in native or micronised form and with a water-hold...

We estimated dry matter digestibility and intake (DMI) in wapiti hinds using the double n-alkane method. We also assessed intra-ruminal controlled-release devices (CRD) for administering n-alkane markers C32 and C36. Nine wapiti hinds were offered alfalfa-based compounded diet for ad libitum consumption and actual DMI was measured daily (mean: 9.2 1.6 kg DM/day). The DMI estimate for C33:C32 (9...

Feeding trials were conducted with 428 forages in three forage classes (C a grasses, legumes, C 4 grasses) fed ad l ibi tum to sheep and with 170 forages fed to cattle over a 20-yr period. Of this total, 153 forages were fed concurrently to sheep and cattle. Where the same forages were fed, mean dry matter digestibility (DMD) and dry matter intake (DMI) were lower (P < .01) for sheep than for c...

We evaluated the effects of replacing some soybean meal (SBM) protein with fish meal (FM) protein in diets adequate and slightly deficient in CP, with or without .75% sodium bentonite (NaB) on performance and ruminal and blood metabolites of individually fed Suffolk lambs. Diets were based on corn, SBM, and cottonseed hulls. In Exp. 1, five lambs were assigned to each of the three dietary treat...

It has been suggested that large foregut-fermenting marsupial herbivores, the kangaroos and their relatives, may be less constrained by food intake limitations as compared with ruminants, due mainly to differences in their digestive morphology and management of ingesta particles through the gut. In particular, as the quality of forage declines with increasing contents of plant fibre (cellulose,...

We have carried out measurements of domain wall dynamics in a Pt/Co/GdOx(t) wedge sample with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. When driven by an easy-axis field Hz in the presence of an in-plane field Hx, the domain wall propagation is different along [Formula: see text]x, as expected for samples presenting Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DMI) interaction. In the creep regime, the sign and the value o...

Resistance to sterol 14alpha-demethylase inhibiting fungicides (DMIs) has been correlated with mutations in the CYP51 gene, which encodes the target enzyme eburicol 14alpha-demethylase. To test the hypothesis that variation in the CYP51 gene explains variation for DMI sensitivity in barley and wheat powdery mildew species, this gene was sequenced from isolates of Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei ...
