In the US, the most common practice for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) screening is a 2-step process: an initial 1-h (50 g) glucose tolerance test (GTT) done at 24 –28 weeks, followed by a confirmatory 3-h (100 g) GTT (fasting, 1-h, 2-h, and 3-h measurements) (1 ). On the assumption of a 1% rate of pre-GDM and the fact that 10% of pregnant women will be of “low risk” and thus not require s...

In this paper, we argue on the interest of anchoring Dutch Cultural Heritage controlled vocabularies to WordNet, and demonstrate a reusable methodology for achieving this anchoring. We test it on two controlled vocabularies, namely the GTAA thesaurus, used at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision (the Dutch radio and television archives), and the GTT thesaurus, used to index books of t...

To differentiate between the effects of heat stress (HS) and decreased dry matter intake (DMI) on physiological and metabolic variables in growing beef cattle, we conducted an experiment in which a thermoneutral (TN) control group (n=6) was pair fed (PF) to match nutrient intake with heat-stressed Holstein bull calves (n=6). Bulls (4 to 5 mo old, 135 kg body weight [BW]) housed in climate-contr...
