2108 Th e eff ect of cell preparation methods on the surface chemistry and retention of Escherichia coli D21 g was investigated over a range of ionic strength conditions. Th e cell preparation methods that were considered included fi ltration and centrifugation (at various speeds and for diff erent durations). For a given ionic strength condition, it was found that cells prepared by fi ltration...

We present a new dynamic auction for procurement problems where payments are bounded by a hard budget constraint and money does not enter the procurer’s objective function. JEL D21, D44, D45, D82.

This paper characterizes public and private monitoring technologies with respect to which the efficient outcome is approximately implementable in team production by way of ex post budget-balanced linear transfers. JEL Classification: D21, D23, D82.

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the effect maternal parity on sow and offspring microbiomes, influence pig fecal microbiome performance in response a prebiotic post-weaning. Fecal vaginal swabs were collected from 22 primiparous 74 multiparous sows commercial farm at weaning. also 48 randomly selected piglets (n = 24, respectively) d 0, 21, 42 At weaning, allotted into 3...

Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) increases the risk of neuroendocrine reprogramming. In the rat, IUGR leads to persistent changes in cerebral mRNA levels. This suggests lasting alterations in IUGR cerebral transcriptional regulation, which may result from changes in chromatin structure. Candidate nutritional triggers for these changes include altered cerebral zinc and one-carbon metabolit...
