Marbling is an important trait regarding the quality of beef. Analysis of beef cattle transcriptome and its expression profile data are essential to extend the genetic information resources and would support further studies on beef cattle. RNA sequencing was performed in beef cattle using the Illumina High-Seq2000 platform. Approximately 251.58 million clean reads were generated from a high mar...

An examination of ascertainment bias in identification of twin pairs in the Vietnam Era Twin Registry has been conducted. A complete listing of all male-male Vietnam era veteran twin pairs born in Connecticut between 1939 and 1955 was obtained (N = 150). An attempt was made to match these pairs with a listing of Vietnam era veteran twin pairs derived from the United States Department of Defense...

The recycling of rural and urban organic waste materials onto agricultural land provides a challenge to the producers and end-users who both have a 'duty-of-care' to ensure the method of disposal is managed in a sustainable way. Careful management means that soil and water resources are not contaminated, the agricultural production system remains stable, and land use alternatives remain availab...

Series of novel dichromophoric cyanine dyes based on 2-aminobenzothiazoles and 3-amino-1,2,4 -triazole have been synthesized in high yields. All the dyes have been classified as disperse dyes. Besides their electronic spectroscopic properties, high dye-uptakes on polyester, excellent fastness properties, highly extinction coefficients, and broad solvatochromic effects have been observed in thes...

Manga is a Japanese style comic. Nowadays, production of manga in the digital environment is widely accepted since authoring/drawing tools on PC have become popular. However, the digitalization of manga production is only in the later stages of the whole production process. The goal of this research is to improve productivity of manga production using information technologies in the earlier sta...

Renewable resources such as lignocellulose are prospective alternatives for the development of different products in connection with climate change. Cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose can be extracted from wood non-wood through a chemical process, subsequently, nanocellulose, nanolignin, nanohemicellulose obtained mechanical, chemical, combination these two processes. Nanocellulose is suggest...
