27 The enzyme triphenylmethane reductase (TMR) reduces toxic triphenylmethane dyes into 28 colorless, non-toxic derivatives, and TMR-producing microorganisms have been proposed as 29 bioremediation tools. Analysis of the genome of Listeria monocytogenes H7858 (1998-1999 hot 30 dog outbreak) revealed that the plasmid (pLM80) of this strain harboring a gene cassette 31 (bcrABC) conferring resista...

Liquid feed supplements (LFS) have a long history of use in dairy cattle feeding. Initially, LFS were used in lick tanks as a source of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) and energy for dry cows and replacement heifers. More recently, with the increased popularity of feeding total mixed rations (TMR), LFS have been marketed with the following claims: • safe and uniform delivery vehicle for micro-nutrie...

Summary and Conclusions—Real-time computers are often used in embedded, life-critical applications where high reliability is important. A common approach to make such systems dependable is to vote on redundant processors executing multiple copies of the same task. The most popular redundant structure is Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR). The processors that make up such systems are subject not on...

OBJECTIVE This trial was performed to examine the effects of ruminally degradable starch (RDS) levels in total mixed ration (TMR) with low corn-based starch on the milk production, whole-tract nutrient digestibility and nitrogen balance in dairy cows. METHODS Eight multiparous Holstein cows (body weight [BW]: 717±63 kg; days in milk [DIM]: 169±29) were assigned to a crossover design with two ...

Noncovalently "stacked" tetramethylrhodamine (TMR) dimers have been used to both report and perturb the allosteric equilibrium in GroEL. A GroEL mutant (K242C) has been labeled with TMR, close to the peptide-binding site in the apical domain, such that TMR molecules on adjacent subunits are able to form dimers in the T allosteric state. Addition of ATP induces the transition to the R state and ...

The present experiment evaluated the influence of moisture level and anaerobic fermentation on aerobic stability of total mixed ration (TMR). The dynamic changes in chemical composition and microbial population that occur after air exposure were examined, and the species of yeast associated with the deterioration process were also identified in both non-fermented and fermented TMR to deepen the...

Hierarchical application of Triple-Modular Redundancy (TMR) increases fault tolerance of digital Integrated Circuit (IC). In this paper, a simple probabilistic model was proposed for analysis of fault masking performance of hierarchical TMR networks. Performance improvements obtained by second order TMR network were theoretically compared with first order TMR network.

Total mixed ration (TMR) samples (n = 110) were analyzed for dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), soluble CP, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), NDF CP, starch, ash, fat, total ethanol-soluble carbohydrate, and nonfiber carbohydrate (NFC). Rapidly and slowly degraded and undegraded in situ CP fractions and in vitro DM, organic matter, and NDF digestibility were determined on each TMR. The TMR were ...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the association of yeast species with improved aerobic stability of total mixed ration (TMR) silages with prolonged ensiling, and clarified the characteristics of yeast species and their role during aerobic deterioration. METHODS Whole crop corn (WCC) silages and TMR silages formulated with WCC were ensiled for 7, 14, 28, and 56 d and used for an aerobic stab...

BACKGROUND This study was conducted to examine the intermediate-term clinical outcomes in patients with refractory angina pectoris treated with transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR) at our institution. TMR is an alternative surgical technique for the treatment of myocardial ischemia and angina pectoris not amenable to conventional percutaneous or surgical revascularization. Limited data...
