Five trials in five locations in the United States involving 512 steers were conducted to evaluate the effect of monensin [200 mg/d in .9 kg of supplement (Ru mensin )] and estradiol-controlled release implants ( Compudose ) administered alone and in combination on average daily gain (ADG) in steers on pasture. The effect of energy supplementation on rate of gain was also evaluated in these sam...

Neurobiological studies demonstrate the amygdala’s role in emotional memory, and psychological studies suggest a particular pattern: enhanced memory for the gist but not the details of complex stimuli. We hypothesized that these two findings are related. Whereas normal (n 5 52) and brain-damaged (n 5 22) controls showed the expected enhancement of gist memory when the encoding context was emoti...

This paper presents the algorithmic aspects of organization of a lowcomplexity fully parallel processor unit for constant matrix-vector products computing. To reduce the hardware complexity (number of twooperand multipliers), we exploit the Winograd’s inner product calculation approach. We show that by using this approach, the computational process of calculating the constant matrix-vector prod...

We have examined the effect of inhaled nitric oxide 4-512 p.p.m. in six sheep with pulmonary hypertension induced first with hypoxia and then with 6 micrograms kg-1 of E. coli endotoxin. A similar dose-dependent reduction in pulmonary artery pressure occurred in pulmonary hypertension induced by hypoxia or endotoxin, with a maximum effect of 25-30% decrease with nitric oxide 64 p.p.m. Increasin...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To investigate the long-term efficacy and safety of two doses (33 and 67 μg/kg/day) of growth hormone (GH) in short Japanese children born small for gestational age (SGA). METHODS 96 children born SGA (age 3 to <8 years) were randomized to GH at 33 or 67 μg/kg/day for 104 weeks, or to an untreated control (UC) group for 52 weeks. After 52 weeks, the UC group was randomized to ...

For a prime p let G be a finite p-group and K a field of characteristic p. The Modular Isomorphism Problem (MIP) asks whether the modular group algebra KG determines the isomorphism type of G. We briefly survey the history of this problem and report on our computer-aided verification of the Modular Isomorphism Problem for the groups of order 512 and the field K with 2 elements.
