The rearing of piglets is a demanding phase pig production partly because the changing temperature requirements during rearing. Piglets need high temperatures in resting area, especially at beginning, while optimal lower toward end To meet demands and also to optimize pen structure, one floor cooling two heating systems were examined this study. In compartments, four pens with 48 each equipped ...

Is overall performance of an AI-based embryo evaluation model improved by including discarded embryos during training compared to using only transferred with known implantation data (KID)? A set 14,643 KID fetal heart (4,337 FH+ and 10,307 FH-) incubated for at least 4 days was obtained from 18 different clinics. The also included 23,674 either cryopreserved or unknown FH 101,153 that were thus...

BACKGROUND Cow's milk allergy is the most common childhood food allergy. Previously we noted that children who outgrew their milk allergy had milk-specific IgE antibodies primarily directed against conformational epitopes; those with persistent milk allergy also had IgE antibodies directed against specific sequential epitopes. OBJECTIVE Because high temperature largely destroys conformational...

Thin films of neutral copper dithiolenes have been prepared by potentiostatic electrodeposition. This method allows the isolation of near infrared (NIR) active species, in a useable form, that are otherwise unobtainable by conventional chemical methods.

Background Myths, misconceptions and a general lack of information surround the use of gloves and mittens in extreme cold environments. Objective This study assessed how well an assortment of gloves and mittens performed in a very cold environment. Methods A convenience sample of gloves and mittens were tested in Antarctica during the winter of 2016 using a calibrated thermometer (range: -148°F...

Background: The adjuvanticity potential of Lactobacillus casei was first suggested in an old survey. The present study was designed to investigate the efficacy of a new immunotherapy against breast cancer made by mixing an extract of heated 4T1 mammary carcinoma cell line and a heat-killed preparation of Lactobacillus casei.Methods: Female BALB/c mice (6–8 weeks old, n=40) were challenged subcu...

The numerical integration of oscillatory integrals is an important and well-studied area of mathematical inquiry. See [11] for a series of recent conferences on the topic, including applications. Examining some of the proffered methods from the position of a computer algebra system (CAS) provides several opportunities not available with purely numerical approaches. Given an explicit representat...
