When buffalo were fed once daily, significant diurnal variations in concentration of rumen ciliates and occurrence of dividing protozoa were found. Differences in proportions of dividing Entodinium- and Diplodinium-type ciliates were also observed. Results obtained suggest that the range of diurnal fluctuations in rumen protozoa concentration may be related to the percentage of dividing cells i...

The paper presents the analysis of the thermal efficiency of a dividing wall distillation column and the influence of the feed composition on the reduction of energy consumption compared to a classical scheme of multicomponent mixture separation. The study relays on rigorous simulations in HYSYSTM using thermodynamically equivalent schemes. A case study is presented for the separation of a hydr...

When utilities are additive, we uncovered in our previous paper [1] many similarities but also surprising differences in the behavior of the familiar Competitive rule (with equal incomes), when we divide (private) goods or bads.The rule picks in both cases the critical points of the product of utilities (or disutilities) on the efficiency frontier, but there is only one such point if we share g...

Whether or not mitophagy depends on prior mitochondrial fragmentation by the canonical mitochondrial division machinery is controversial. In this issue, Yamashita et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201605093) report that mitochondrial fragments start to bud and divide from mitochondrial tubules when in tight association with forming autophagosomes, but independently of the ...

When a system is divided into blocks B 1 B2..Bk..B m such that the existence of failure in B k will not interfare required performance of blocks B 1 B2... and Bk_l, then these blocks are called unidirectional blocks. To determine failure elements in a system, unidirectional blocks B 1 B2... will be tested one by one in the order to find a block containin~ failure first, then diagnose the block ...

The dividing wall column, DWC, is a thermally coupled sequence that can perform the separation of fluid mixtures with reduced energy consumption, but also decreasing the capital costs associated. Several authors have developed design procedures for this kind of sequence, using short methodologies or optimization strategies. The use of short procedures is easy and fast, but, in the most of the c...

Lower vertebrates, such as newt and zebrafish, retain a robust cardiac regenerative capacity following injury. Recently, our group demonstrated that neonatal mammalian hearts have a remarkable regenerative potential in the first few days after birth. Although adult mammals lack this regenerative potential, it is now clear that there is measurable cardiomyocyte turnover that occurs in the adult ...

Abstract In model theory, a branch of mathematical logic, we can classify structures based on their logical complexity. This yields the so-called stability hierarchy. Independence relations play an important role in this An independence relation tells us which subsets structure contain information about each other, for example, linear vector spaces such relation. Some classes hierarchy are stab...

For any positive integer n 2: 1 and for any prime number p let ep(n) be the exponent at which the prime p appears in the prime factor decomposition of nL In this note we prove the following; Theorem. Let p < q be two prime numbers, and let n > 1 be a positive integer such that pq I n. Then, (1) Inequality (1) was suggested by Balacenoiu at the First International Conference on Smarandache ::\ot...

For n ≥ 3, define Tn to be the theory of the generic Kn-free graph, where Kn is the complete graph on n vertices. We prove a graph theoretic characterization of dividing in Tn, and use it to show that forking and dividing are the same for complete types. We then give an example of a forking and nondividing formula. Altogether, Tn provides a counterexample to a recent question of Chernikov and K...
