Mammalian skeletal muscle is an extremely heterogeneous tissue. Its diversity results from a spectrum of fibres which are metabolically suited to a wide range of functional demands. As judged from enzyme activity analyses of single fibres, the metabolic properties of fibres belonging to the same motor unit are similar or identical. It is likely, therefore, that the phenotype expression of muscl...

The paths taken by fibres regenerating to the tectum from various parts of the Xenopus retina were investigated in whole-mount preparations, after localized retinal labelling with HRP. The effects of different environments on the fibres were studied by comparing contralateral with ipsilateral regeneration, in the presence of the other eye or after it had been removed in embryonic life. Under al...

. eight holstein cows in early lactating stage were used in a 4×4 change-over design within 4 periods of 21-d to determine the effects of alfalfa hay particle size and soybean oil supplementation on intake, digestibility, ruminal and blood metabolites, chewing activity, milk yield and compositions. four total mixed rations containing 20, 20 and 60% corn silage, alfalfa hay and concentrate respe...

This section summarises some of the available literature concerning the operation of muscles and nerves. All skeletal muscles comprise groups or bundles of smaller muscle fibres; these muscle fibres are of many different shapes and sizes depending on the muscle in question. Cylindrical gamma shaped muscle fibres are comparatively short compared with, say, flagelliform or laneolate muscle fibres...

Insect muscle fibres can be classed as either phasic or tonic according to their response to potassium depolarization. The phasic fibres contract only transiently during prolonged potassium depolarization, whereas the tonic fibres give a sustained contracture. The extensor tibiae muscle in the metathoracic leg of the locust contains both tonic (T/et) and phasic (P/et) fibres; the electrical, me...

As a sequel to \cite{Licollapsing}, we study Calabi-Yau metrics collapsing along holomorphic fibration over Riemann surface. Assuming at worst canonical singular fibres, prove uniform diameter bound for all fibres in the suitable rescaling. This has consequences on geometry around fibres.

This study aimed to evaluate the response of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index NDVI derived from Terra MODIS sensor to soybean phenology, in a grain producer region of Parana State, Brazil. Landsat TM and ETM+ images were selected to analyze the spatial distribution of soybean fields for this region from 2000/01 to 2006/07 crop seasons. Then pure pixel samples (250 x 250m) that contain...

More than 600 million pounds of the soybean oil produced annually in the United States are used for nonedible applications, including the production of industrial materials (American Soybean Association, 2001). More than half of this use of soybean oil falls in the category of fatty acids, soaps, and feed. The remainder of the nonedible soybean market is used for the manufacture of inks, paints...

intercropping is considered for increasing and stability of yield in per unit. in order to evaluating the effect of corn/soybean intercrop in different planting dates, a study was carried out in agricultural sciences and natural resources, university of sari, faculty of agriculture during 2005-2006. the experiment was a split plot design based on randomized complete block design with four repli...

Soybean is the second largest acreage crop in the United States (29%), right after corn (35%) according to the American Soybean Association [1]. Soybean is widely consumed in the world, particularly in Asian countries. The various soybean products could be separated in‐ to non-fermented and fermented soybean products. The non-fermented soybean products include soymilk, tofu, yuba, soybean sprou...
