This study was aimed to determine the effect of feeding lambs diets with different proportions of double-low rapeseed and linseed and their supplementation with vitamin E on selected parameters of health quality of lamb meat. Lambs were fattened intensively to 30–35 kg body weight with a standard diet and experimental diets containing 10% full-fat rapeseed and linseed at a 2:1 or 1:1 ratio, wit...

As U.S. lamb imports increased relative to domestic production, and the relative share of chilled to frozen lamb imports increased, importers of chilled lamb have become less responsive to domestic and import prices, while the direct opposite is the case for frozen lamb imports. From 1990 to 2003, chilled lamb imports from Australia and New Zealand became less and less responsive to U.S. prices...

A Lamb wave-based crack detection method for aluminum plates health monitoring is developed in this paper. Piezoelectric disks are employed to actuate and capture the Lamb wave signals. The position of crack is assumed to be aligned with the sensor and actuator.  Extraction of high quality experimental results of lamb wave propagation in a plate-like structure is considerably complicated due to...

the data set used in this study contained 8793 records of lamb's longevity (days) from 320 sires and 2349 dams collected during 1989 to 2014, from the lori-bakhtiari flock at shooli station in shahrekord, iran. genetic parameters (partitioned into autosomal, sex-linked and maternal) and breeding values of cumulative lamb's longevity from birth up to yearling age (at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and ...

BACKGROUND Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis is a lethal infection with relatively few therapeutic options. The optimal dosage of liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB) alone or in combination with flucytosine is not known. METHODS A murine model of cryptococcal meningoencephalitis was used. The fungal density in the brain was determined using quantitative cultures. Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic re...

Lamb wave time reversal method is a new and tempting baseline-free damage detection technique for structural health monitoring. With this method, certain types of damage can be detected without baseline data. However, the application of this method to thin-wall structures is complicated by the existence of at least two Lamb wave modes at any given frequency, and by the dispersion nature of the ...

Our laboratory has been utilizing the Escherichia coli outer membrane protein LamB to study the mechanism of protein localization. Various lines of evidence suggest that, in addition to a signal sequence, regions within the mature protein are required for efficient localization. In particular, studies using LamB-LacZ hybrid proteins have identified regions between amino acids 27 and 49 of matur...

| Damage detection using guided Lamb waves is an important tool in Structural health Monitoring. In this paper, we outline a method of obtaining Lamb wave modes in composite structures using two dimensional Spectral Finite Elements. Using this approach, Lamb wave dispersion curves are obtained for laminated composite structures with different fibre orientation. These propagating Lamb wave modes...

We study the survival of a single diffusing lamb on the positive half line in the presence of N diffusing lions to the right of the lamb and a haven at x = 0. If the lamb reaches this haven before meeting any lion, the lamb survives. We investigate the survival probability of the lamb, SN (x,L), as a function of N and the respective initial positions of the lamb and the lions, x and L. We deter...

The proton structure effects, including finite size, polarizability and self– energy is considered and their influence on energy levels of muonic hydrogen is recalculated. A new theoretical prediction for the Lamb shift is presented together with improved values of all known QED contributions.
