The effects of feeding in different quality rangelands on meat and fatty acids composition Angora goat kids bucks were determined. Twenty male selected from each farm that produces goats the area. There are three separate with previously determined classes (good, medium, low-quality). In farm, among these animals grazed completely rangeland, 7 heads 4-month-old 7-month-old slaughtered. Longissi...

We have identified a new putative transcription factor from the rat kidney, termed Kid-1 (for kidney, ischemia and developmentally regulated gene 1). Kid-1 belongs to the C2H2 class of zinc finger genes. Its mRNA accumulates with age in postnatal renal development and is detected predominantly in the kidney. Kid-1 mRNA levels decline after renal injury secondary to ischemia or folic acid admini...

Today, researches have shown that the best and most effective way to reduce the incidence of disorders related to pesticides and prevent their transfer to the milk and other animal products is the application of adsorbents or bonding compounds. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different toxin adsorbents (Mycofix-Plus, Bio-Tox, Bio-Acid) on the amount of diazinon residues in grape ...

the κ-casein protein plays a fundamental role in milk production and its composition synthesis in the mammary gland. this protein has an important role in the formation, stabilization, and aggregation of the casein micelles. in this study, we investigated the genetic variability at the exon 4 of the κ-casein gene (also known as csn3) using pcr-sscp analysis and dna sequencing. then a protein se...

Machine learning techniques are becoming an important tool for studying animal vocal communication. The goat (Capra hircus) is a very social species, in which vocal communication and recognition are important. We tested the reliability of a Multi-Layer Perceptron (feed-forward Artificial Neural Network, ANN) to automate the process of classification of calls according to individual identity, gr...

Figure S1 α-helical propensities in KID using RX-DMD. RX-DMD simulations using 8 replicas were performed for all the experimentally investigated proteins with PresMo, collected in the review of Lee et al.[1] α-helical propensities of the conformational ensembles at each simulation temperature were determined and plotted as described in Methods. KID is shown as an example, while the results for ...

KID syndrome is a rare genodermatosis characterized by keratitis, ichthyosis, and sensorineural deafness. Although the dermatological, ophthalmologic, and sensorineural defects are emphasized in the literature, oral and dental evaluations are so superficial. In this case report, dental and oral symptoms of a three year and five months old boy with KID syndrome, suffering severe Early Childhood ...

Collaboration among designers can be described with an "action-reflection-critique" model in which the explicit representation of the design contributes to a shared understanding and to the articulation of design knowledge. We describe how domain-oriented design environments based on this model support human-computer collaboration by intertwining knowledge delivery and elicitation. The KID (Kno...
