The objective of this work was to evaluate the genetic diversity of Brazilian Pantaneiro horse by microsatellite markers, investigate the effect of genetic bottlenecks and estimate genetic differentiation among four horse breeds. Genetic variation was estimated through allele frequencies and mean breed heterozygosity. Nei ́s genetic distances among the breeds Pantaneiro, Thoroughbred, Arabian, S...

A TRIAL WAS CONDUCTED TO i) evaluate the BW growth, energy intakes and energetic efficiency of pigs fed high and low density diets from 27 to 141 kg BW, ii) evaluate sire line and sex differences when fed both diets, and iii) to compare ME to NE as predictor of pig performance. The experiment had a replicated factorial arrangement of treatments including four sire lines, two sexes (2,192 barrow...

The new energy industry (NEI) is key to achieving a clean and low-carbon economy. Improving its technical efficiency, factor reflecting the ability of an enterprise or produce maximum economic outputs from given set inputs production technologies, vital for healthy development NEI. Nevertheless, due fragmentation data, it still difficult accurately measure efficiency China’s NEI understand driv...

ABSTRACT We investigated the detailed plasma condition of North Polar Spur (NPS)/Loop I using archival Suzaku data. In previous research, collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE) have been assumed for X-ray state, but we also assume non-equilibrium (NEI) to check in more detail. found that most NPS/Loop favors state NEI, and has density-weighted timescale net ∼ 1011–12 s cm−3 electron number de...

Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs and digestive system. CF affects cells produce mucus, sweat, enzymes caused by mutations in Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR). Expression function of CFTR have been extensively studied on epithelial several recent publications shown also regulates functions myeloid cells. We addressed wh...
