Beef finishing and dairy lactation experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of distillers grains (DG) from sorghum or corn fermentation, in both wet (35.4% DM) and dry (92.2% DM) form (dairy trial only). In the finishing experiment, 60 yearling steers were used in a completely randomized design with three diets that were fed for 127 d: 1) control diet with 86% (DM basis) dry...

We have earlier shown that dystroglycan (DG) is a lamininbinding protein and as such is a cell adhesion molecule. DG is a heterodimer of alpha and beta DG subunits. beta-dystroglycan (betaDG) is the membrane spanning subunit, whereas the alpha subunit is bound to the extracellular domain of betaDG. To study physiological function of the protein, we expressed full-length DG (FL-DG) and the cytop...

For a graph G = (V,E), the modified Schultz index of G is defined as S∗(G) = ∑ {u,v}⊂V (G) (dG(u) · dG(v))dG(u, v) where dG(u) (or d(u)) is the degree of the vertex u of G, and dG(u, v) is the distance between u and v. Lower bounds on modified Schultz index in trees in terms of the order and diameter are determined. Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C05, 05C12

There has been considerable work on syntactic language models and they have advanced greatly over the last decade. Most of them have used a probabilistic contextfree grammar (PCFG) or a dependency grammar (DG). In particular, DG has attracted more and more interest in the past years since dependency parsing has achieved great success. While much work has evaluated the effects of different depen...

For a nontrivial graph G, its first and second Zagreb coindices are defined [1], respectively, as M1(G) = ∑ uv ∈E(G) (dG(u)+dG(v)) and M2(G) = ∑ uv ∈E(G) dG(u)dG(v), where dG(x) is the degree of vertex x in G. In this paper, we obtained some new properties of Zagreb coindices. We mainly give explicit formulae for the first Zagreb coindex of line graphs and total graphs. Mathematics Subject Clas...
