The study investigated the effects of feeding duration on length and weight ileum, basal endogenous loss (BEL) phosphorus (P) broiler chickens fed a P-free diet (PFD). A standard starter was to 384 birds for 15 days. On day 15, they were weighed randomly allocated one three treatment groups in randomized complete block design, with eight replicate cages per 16 cage. each group PFD 2, 3, or 4 Th...

AIM The goal of this study was to characterize the AFP receptor, its possible signal transduction pathway and its proliferative functions in human hepatoma cell line Bel 7402. METHODS Cell proliferation enhanced by AFP was detected by MTT assay, 3H-thymidine incorporation and S-stage percentage of cell cycle analysis. With radioactive labeled 125I-AFP for receptor binding assay; cAMP accumula...

We define (super) n-energy tensors for non-gravitational fields. The possibility of interchange of superenergy between gravitational and other fields is considered. 1 The Bel-Robinson tensor and its properties. The Bel-Robinson (BR) tensor 1,2 is defined by T αβλµ ≡ C αρλσ C β µ ρ σ + * C αρλσ * C β µ ρ σ (1) where C αρλσ is the Weyl tensor and * indicates the usual dual operation: * C αβλµ ≡ (...

A series of amino acid ester derivatives containing 5-fluorouracil were synthesized using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC*HCl) and N-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) as a coupling agent. The structures of the products were assigned by NMR, MS, IR etc. The in vitro antitumor activity tests against leukaemia HL-60 and liver cancer BEL-7402 indicated that (R)-ethyl 2-(2...

A very computationally-efficient MonteCarlo algorithm for the calculation of Dempster-Shafer belief is described. If Bel is the combination using Dempster’s Rule of belief functions Bel1, . . . ,Belm then, for subset b of the frame Θ, Bel(b) can be calculated in time linear in |Θ| and m (given that the weight of conflict is bounded). The algorithm can also be used to improve the complexity of t...
