Purpose – The purpose of this research is to observe all data from the Common European Research Information Format (CERIF) data model that can be described using bibliographic standards and move those data to a data model of bibliographic standard. Design/methodology/approach – Analysis of the CERIF data model and the MARC 21 format has shown that some elements of the CERIF data model could be ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Korean Red Ginseng marc with aluminum sulfate as litter amendments on ammonia, soluble reactive phosphorus, and pathogen populations in poultry litters. METHODS Increasing levels of Korean Red Ginseng marc with aluminum sulfate were applied onto the surface of rice hull as a top-dress application; untreated rice hulls served as c...

Dans les années 1940-1970, Alexandrov et l’“École de Leningrad” ont développé une théorie très riche des surfaces singulières. Il s’agit de surfaces topologiques, munie d’une métrique intrinsèque pour laquelle on peut définir une notion de courbure, qui est une mesure de Radon. Cette classe de surfaces a de bonnes propriétés de convergence et elle est remarquablement stable par rapport à divers...

K42 is an open-source research kernel for cache-coherent 64-bit multiprocessor systems. K42 focuses on achieving good performance and scalability, providing a customizable and maintainable system, and being accessible to a large community through an open source development model. To that end, K42 fully supports the Linux API and ABI and uses Linux libraries, device drivers, file systems, and ot...

th Marc Leng who died on the 7 of May 2000 at the age of 64 from pleural cancer has made an important contribution in the field of Biophysics. Through years of successful studies on deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) and on the mechanism of action ofthe well-known anticancer drug cisplatin, he gained high international standing and generated more than 200 publications and 3 patents. His death is a gr...

This dialogue was held between the Guest Editors of the Special Issue on "Plant Transgenesis" of the Int. J. Dev. Biol. and Marc Van Montagu. Research in the group of Marc Van Montagu and Jeff Schell in the 1970s was essential to reveal how the phytopathogenic bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens transfers DNA to host plants to cause crown gall disease. Knowledge of the molecular mechanism under...

The influence of different levels of adjusted fat thickness (AFT) and HCW slaughter end points (covariates) on estimates of breed and retained heterosis effects was studied for 14 carcass traits from serially slaughtered purebred and composite steers from the US Meat Animal Research Center (MARC). Contrasts among breed solutions were estimated at 0.7, 1.1, and 1.5 cm of AFT, and at 295.1, 340.5...

Traditional library cataloging records in the United States, based on AACR2R cataloging rules and MARC standards, constitute a solid foundation for many of the descriptive metadata elements needed for searching and retrieving works of music. However, there are significant weaknesses associated with these records and the online environment in which they live as users seek access to digitized rep...

The development of technologies that could be used by the U.S. beef packing industry to accurately characterize beef for tenderness has been a major focus of this laboratory. Because longissimus comprises a higher proportion of total carcass value than any other muscle and there is more carcassto-carcass tenderness variation in longissimus than any other major beef muscle (Shackelford et al., 1...

BACKGROUND There as yet exists no systematic planning study investigating the novel mARC rotational radiotherapy technique, which is conceptually different from VMAT. We therefore present a planning study for prostate cancer, comparing mARC with IMRT treatment at the same linear accelerator equipped with flat and flattening-filter-free (FFF) photon energies. METHODS We retrospectively re-cont...
