A study was conducted to determine the efficacy of phytase, an enzymic cocktail, and a waste Aspergillus niger mycelium to hydrolyze phytate present in corn-soybean meal diets. One hundred turkey poults were assigned to dietary treatments for 2 wk (days 7 to 21). Dietary treatments included: 1) NRC (1994) diet (NRC), with recommended concentration of 0.6% available P (aP) and 1.2% Ca; 2) Phytas...

BACKGROUND Tumor response after neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (NRC) prior to surgery and other parameters are likely to have an influence on the survival rate of patients suffering from T3 rectal cancer. METHODS 51 patients (17 female, 34 male; 59.0 years; Apache < 9 points: 95.1%; ASA I-II 88.3% and ASA III 11.8%) were treated with NRC (50.4 Gy; 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid) 4-6 weeks prior t...

OBJECTIVE To explore the feasibility and implementation efficiency of Nutritional Report Cards (NRCs) in helping children make healthier food choices at school. METHODS Pilot testing was conducted in a rural New York school district (K-12). Over a five-week period, 27 parents received a weekly e-mail containing a NRC listing how many meal components (fruits, vegetables, starches, milk), snack...

First cross-calibration of all existing Zr isotopic standards and two certified reference materials to a new commercially available standard NRC ZIRC-1, the first report composition Allende chondrite.

In the current study, we used four soybean varieties PK-1029, PK-472, NRC-7, and Hardee to examine effect of exclusion solar UV radiation on photosynthetic efficiency test possible variety-dependent sensitivity ambient (280-400 nm). Plants that were grown under filters had higher chlorophyll a b, efficiencies PSII more active reaction centers indicated substantially affected by radiation. The s...

Aim: investigate the implications of HFD induced obesity on lipid profile in parent rats and their offspring. Methodology: Twenty adult female (100 - 150g) were grouped into A B which received NRC respectively for 16 weeks. Group with BMI >0.50g/cm2 considered obese. Adult male Wistar fed introduced to each group, ensure mating pregnancy after feeding. The offspring produced by group...

In this paper, a neuroadaptive robust trajectory tracking controller is utilized to reduce speed ripples of permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) servo drive under the presence fracture or fissure in rotor and external disturbances. The dynamics equations PMSM with unknown frictions are described detail. Due inherent nonlinearities dynamic model, addition internal disturbances; traditiona...
