Three hundred forty-seven crossbred heifers (330 +/- 11 kg initial BW) were used in a randomized complete block study to identify the optimal level of dried corn distillers grains with solubles (DGS) in flaked corn finishing diets. Fifty-four pens were used, with 9 pens per treatment and 6 to 7 heifers per pen. Finishing diets were steam-flaked corn-based and were fed once daily for 148 d. Diet...

These studies were designed to deteractivities followed different patterns. mine whether colony stimulating factor In particular, CSF peaked and was (CSF) and diffusible granulocytopoietic declining 24 hr following endotoxin at stimulator (DGS) represented a single which time DGS was not yet detectsubstance which stimulates the proable. Then, as serum CSF fell, the DGS duction of granulocytes i...

The discrete Gaussian DL−t,s is the distribution that assigns to each vector x in a shifted lattice L − t probability proportional to e−π‖x‖ 2/s2 . It has long been an important tool in the study of lattices. More recently, algorithms for discrete Gaussian sampling (DGS) have found many applications in computer science. In particular, polynomial-time algorithms for DGS with very high parameters...

OBJECTIVES This study is aimed at developing a set of data groups (DGs) to be employed as reusable building blocks for the construction of the eight most common clinical documents used in China's general hospitals in order to achieve their structural and semantic standardization. METHODS The Diagnostics knowledge framework, the related approaches taken from the Health Level Seven (HL7), the I...

In this paper, a microstrip transmission line combined with a new U-headed dumb-bell defected ground structure (DGS) is investigated. The proposed DGS of two U-shape slots connected by a thin transverse slot is placed in the ground plane of a microstrip line. A finite cutoff frequency and attenuation pole is observed and thus, the equivalent circuit of the DGS unit can be represented by a paral...

A novel design of multiband microstrip antenna array with dumbbell shape defected ground structure (DGS) is presented. The DGS is inserted into the ground plane between the two elements of the antenna array in order to suppress mutual coupling. Both simulation and measurement results verified that the DGS improved the radiation properties of the antenna array. Measurement results of the DGS ant...

Diglycerides (DGs) are phospholipid-derived second messengers that regulate PKC-dependent signaling pathways. Distinct species of DGs are generated from inflammatory cytokines and growth factors. Growth factors increase diacyl- but not ether-linked DG species, whereas inflammatory cytokines predominately generate alkyl, acyl- and alkenyl, acyl-linked DG species in rat mesenchymal cells. These D...

This paper investigates the effect of simultaneous placement of DGs and smart meters (SMs), on voltage profile improvement in active distribution networks (ADNs). A substantial center of attention has recently been on responsive loads initiated in power system problem studies such as distributed generations (DGs). Existence of responsive loads in active distribution networks (ADNs) would have u...

Is proof activity in danger with the use of dynamic geometry systems (DGS)? The papers of this special issue report about various teaching sequences based on the use of such DGS and analyse the possible roles of DGS in both the teaching and learning of proof. This paper is a reaction to these four papers. Starting from them, it attempts to develop a global discussion about the roles of DGS, by ...

A new one-dimensional (1-D) defected ground unit lattice is proposed in order to improve the effective inductance. Increasing the effective inductance makes it easy to control the cutoff frequency characteristics. The proposed periodic defected ground structure (DGS) provides the excellent cutoff and stopband characteristics. In order to show the improved the effective inductance, three DGS cir...
