to evaluatethe effects of supplementing diets of growing japanese quails (n=450; 7 days old) with chromium (cr) yeast and / or mannan oligosaccharides (mos) on productive performance, carcass traits and the immune system are reported. diets were a basal diet (control) or the basal diet supplemented with 600 mg cr-yeast/kg (cr 1), 1200 mg cr-yeast/kg (cr 2), 1.0 g mos/kg, cr 1 + mos or cr 2 + mo...

Oocytes of almost all vertebrates become arrested at metaphase II to await fertilization. Arrest is achieved with the participation of a protein complex known as cytostatic factor (CSF) that stabilizes histone H1 kinase activity. MOS and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) are important components of CSF. Strain LT/Sv mice, and strains related to LT/Sv, produce a high percentage of atypical...

A log-domain current-mode true RMS-to-DC converter based on a novel synthesis of a simplified current-mode low pass filter and a two-quadrant squarer/divider is presented. The circuit employs floating gate MOS (FG-MOS) transistors operating in weak inversion region. The converter features low power(

We study very small gated SOI nanowires defined by e-beam lithography. Electrical transport at low temperature (below ≈ 10K) is dominated by Coulomb blockade. In the metallic regime at high Vg very periodic oscillations are recorded and the measured period corresponds to the whole surface of wire covered by the gate. Below the threshold the energy level quantization is clearly seen. The interpl...

background: nutritional strategies targeting improvement of poultry performance and disease prevention are currently being developed and in this respect the dietary intake of spiced essential oils and pre-biotics in raising broilers is receiving attention. objectives: this study was conducted to compare the effects of diet containing ginger essential oils (geo) and mannan-oligosaccharide (mos) ...

First, we create a MOS-NDR (negative differential resistance) cell and then put two MOS-NDR cells in cascode (totem-pole) structure. With MOBILE (monostable-bistable transition logic element) theorem we can built a MOS-NDR inverter by placing a NMOS in parallel with the lower part of the cascode structure. The MOS-NDR inverter cascades two Common-Source amplifier and feedback to MOS-NDR inverte...

A neuron MOS transistor has a floating gate and multiple input gates which are capacitively coupling with the floating gate. Dramatic reduction in the number of transistors and interconnections was achieved by employing the neuron MOS in circuit designs. Since the neuron MOS gate electrode is electrically floating, it is not necessarily easy to calculate the floating gate potential using circui...

The Mos protein kinase is a key regulator of vertebrate oocyte maturation. Oocyte-specific Mos protein expression is subject to translational control. In the frog Xenopus, the translation of Mos protein requires the progesterone-induced polyadenylation of the maternal Mos mRNA, which is present in the oocyte cytoplasm. Both the Xenopus p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and maturation-...

The resumption of meiosis in Xenopus arrested oocytes is triggered by progesterone, which leads to polyadenylation and translation of Mos mRNA, then activation of MAPK pathway. While Mos protein kinase has been reported to be essential for re-entry into meiosis in Xenopus, arrested oocytes can undergo germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) independently of MAPK activation, leading us to question wha...
