The objective of this study was to compare the effects of body weight growth adjustment methods on genetic parameters of body growth and tissue among three pig breeds. Data collected on 101,820 Landrace, 281,411 Yorkshire, and 78,068 Duroc pigs, born in Korean swine breeder farms since 2000, were analyzed. Records included body weights on test day and amplitude (A)-mode ultrasound carcass measu...

The aim of this investigation was to determine the influence of occlusal relationships on the occurrence of sounds in the temporomandibular joint. A group of 100 male subjects aged 24-52 years (X = 35.03+/-6.92) was examined. Analysis of occlusion included determination of the number of existing teeth, number of teeth in occlusion, overbite and overjet, type of occlusion, mediotrusion interfere...

Chicken riboflavin carrier protein (RCP; 219 AA) harbours four linear epitopes, constituted by the peptide residues 3-23, 64-83, 130-147 and 200-219. Antibodies to these sequences bioneutralize maternal RCP and provide protection from pregnancy in rodents. In order to overcome the major histocompatibility complex-dependent variability in immune response often encountered with use of single pept...

National parks in the United States are protected areas wherein the natural habitat is to be conserved for future generations. Deposition of anthropogenic nitrogen (N) transported from areas of human activity (fuel combustion, agriculture) may affect these natural habitats if it exceeds an ecosystem-dependent critical load (CL). We quantify and interpret the deposition to Class I US national pa...

METHODS: Nineteen vials of tetrofosmin were radiolabelled with Tc and the percentages of the RCP were determined. Five different methods were compared with the standard RCP testing method (ITLC-SG, 2x20 cm): Whatman 3MM (1x10 cm) with acetone and dichloromethane (method 1); Whatman 3MM (1x10 cm) with ethyl acetate (method 2); aluminum oxide-coated plastic thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plate (...

This research paper proposes the statistical-based method for Thai handwritten character recognition using Fourier descriptors and robust C-Prototype clustering. Recognition scheme is based on features extracted from Fourier transform of the edge of character-image. Therefore, the character-image is described by a group of descriptors. We train the system using the RCP training scheme to find t...

Das Entwickeln von Stammdatenverwaltungsoberflächen ist eine ungeliebte, aber in vielen Projekten notwendige ”Fleißarbeit“. Um diesen Vorgang zu automatisieren, wurde in einer Diplomarbeit eine AndroMDA Cartridge entwickelt, die Stammdatenverwaltungsoberflächen auf Basis von Eclipse RCP aus UML Modellen generiert. Diese Diplomarbeit und ihr Ergebnis werden im Folgenden vorgestellt. 1 Fakten zur...
