The effect of pelleting fodder on voluntary feed intake and digestibility in sheep was tested with sorghum straw cowpea haulm two forms (chopped granulated). Twenty-four (24) sheep, 18 to 24 months old, Djallonké breed were divided into 4 groups 6 following a random complete block device four (04) treatments as follows: R1= 50% chopped + haulms, R2 = Granulated 1 (50% haulms), R3 maize bran R4 ...

The study evaluated the organoleptic properties from chicken intestines nugget with substitution 50% of breadfruit flour and tapioca flour. treatments in this consisted without (R1), 15% (R2), 25% (R3), 35% (R4), (R5), 65% (R6), 75. % (R7), 85% (R8), 100% (R9). A completely randomized design 5 replications was used study. substitute as a treatment for Parameters consist texture, colour, taste. ...

Induction of apoptosis in cells by TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a member of the TNF family, is believed to be regulated by expression of two death-inducing and two inhibitory (decoy) receptors on the cell surface. In previous studies we found no correlation between expression of decoy receptors and susceptibility of human melanoma cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. In view of t...

The present study investigated the simultaneous occurrence of emergent stimulus-response relations (functional equivalence) and stimulus-stimulus relations (stimulus equivalence). After being pretrained and tested on two symbolic match-to-sample tasks (X1-Y1, X2-Y2), 20 4- and 5-year-old children were trained to emit specified responses to pairs of stimuli (A1-R1, B1-R1, A2-R2, B2-R2) in one se...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The classification of group B streptococcal (GBS) isolates is based on the capsular polysaccharides (Ia-VIII), and antigenic characterization of clinical isolates is augmented by the detection of various surface-localized protein antigens. In our laboratory, all GBS isolates are routinely analysed for the alpha trypsin-resistant and the beta trypsin-sensitive c protein a...

Let the randomized query complexity of a relation for error probability ǫ be denoted by Rǫ(·). We prove that for any relation f ⊆ {0, 1} × R and Boolean function g : {0, 1} → {0, 1}, R1/3(f ◦g ) = Ω(R4/9(f) ·R1/2−1/n4(g)), where f ◦g n is the relation obtained by composing f and g. We also show that R1/3 (

The voltage-sensing domain of voltage-gated channels is comprised of four transmembrane helices (S1-S4), with conserved positively charged residues in S4 moving across the membrane in response to changes in transmembrane voltage. Although it has been shown that positive charges in S4 interact with negative countercharges in S2 and S3 to facilitate protein maturation, how these electrostatic int...

The mouse homeobox gene Gbx2 is first expressed throughout the posterior region of the embryo during gastrulation, and becomes restricted to rhombomeres 1-3 (r1-3) by embryonic day 8.5 (E8.5). Previous studies have shown that r1-3 do not develop in Gbx2 mutants and that there is an early caudal expansion of the midbrain gene Otx2 to the anterior border of r4. Furthermore, expression of Wnt1 and...
