Forty Angus x Hereford 2-yr-old primiparous cows (358 kg) were used to determine the effects of source and amount of CP on performance, reproductive function, and metabolic status of suckled primiparous cows. A 2 x 2 factorial treatment arrangement was used; cows received either 100 or 150% of NRC recommendations for CP in diets that contained either soybean meal (low escape = L) or corn gluten...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS A ceruloplasmin (CP) concentration <200 mg/L is conventionally considered as one of the major diagnostic criteria for Wilson's disease (WD). However, the diagnostic accuracy of this threshold has never been investigated in a sufficiently large group of patients. This study aims to present the results of serum CP measurements in various patients and to identify the optimal cu...

We have previously indicated that calpain inhibitor-1 prevents the heart from ischemia- reperfusion injury associated with the impairment of total Ca(2+) handling by inhibiting the proteolysis of alpha-fodrin. However, this inhibitor is insoluble with water and inappropriate for clinical application. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of a newly developed calp...

We have recently shown that continuous coronary perfusion with warm blood enriched with the ultra-short acting beta-blocker Esmolol (ES) improves functional and structural myocardial protection during coronary artery surgery as compared with conventional cardioplegia (CP). The purpose of the present study was to compare both myocardial protection techniques in terms of patient outcome. We retro...

Exclusive chemical conversions of polyesters [poly(ethylene adipate) (PEA), poly(butylene (PBA), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), (PBT)] to the corresponding monomers (diethyl adipate, diethyl terephthalate, ethylene glycol, 1,4-butane diol) by transesterification with ethanol using Cp’TiCl3 (Cp’ = Cp, Cp*) catalyst have been demonstrated. The present acid-base-free depolymerizations exhibit...

The paper is focused on the formation of calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CP) in polyelectrolyte-modified microemulsions, in a microemulsion template phase consisting of cyclohexane, water, anionic surfactantant and cosurfactant, in the presence of anionic and cationic polyelectrolyte. It is shown that polyelectrolyte, can be incorporated into the individual inverse microemulsion droplets. The ...

The crystal structure of [3]ferrocenophan-1-one, [Fe(C(13)H(12)O)], has been redetermined at 150 K. The tethered cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) rings are tilted by 9.39 (18)° and assume an eclipsed conformation. The 1-oxopropane-1,3-diyl bridge has a pseudo-envelope conformation with the C=O group deviating by as much as 22.5 (2)° from coplanarity with its attached Cp ring.

This paper revisits the possessive particle no in Japanese, taking a minimalist approach and concludes that no does not instantiate Case, but rather a type of D introducing a (reduced) relative CP and attracts a nominal predicate to its left. We pursues a purely derivational account similar in spirit to den Dikken & Singhapreecha 2004 but better in empirical coverage, attributing different dist...

480 male broiler chickens were used in a 35-day study to determine the influence of white lupin inclusion (0, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 g/kg) on their performance and diet utilization as well as on ileal villi height and crypt depth. One-dayold male Ross 308 chicks were randomly assigned to six dietary treatments (ten replications per treatment). Birds fed diets with 150 g/kg white lupine were...
