The ability of grazing animals to enhance quality of diet by selection is important in production. The study determined the effects of selection on dietary quality of cattle grazing monocultures of smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss; SB), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.; SG), and big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii Vitman; BB) as influenced by plant maturity. Three ruminally-fistulated stee...

This paper presents an analytical model for intrinsic short-circuit admittance (Y) parameters of DH-DD-TM-SG MOSFET. Y have been modeled using different small-signal equivalent circuit parameter which is used to find the Scattering parameters. These further employed computing S-parameters. are investigate microwave performance proposed device. The Unilateral Power Gain and maximum oscillation f...

Many eukaryotic positive-strand RNA viruses transcribe subgenomic (sg) mRNAs that are virus-derived messages that template the translation of a subset of viral proteins. Currently, the premature termination (PT) mechanism of sg mRNA transcription, a process thought to operate in a variety of viruses, is best understood in tombusviruses. The viral RNA elements involved in regulating this mechani...

Tomato is one of the most cultivated vegetables, playing important role in human feed. Due to its characteristics and composition, tomatoes present reduced shelf life, preservative techniques are required. In this study, response surface methodology was used optimize process conditions during osmotic dehydration (OD) tomato slices, through desirability function. Optimization factors were absolu...

Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) negatively impacts the dairy industry by decreasing dry matter intake, milk production, profitability, and increasing culling rate and death loss. Six ruminally cannulated, lactating Holstein cows were used in a replicated incomplete Latin square design to determine the effects of SARA induction on the ruminal microbiome and epithelium. Experimental periods were...

BACKGROUND Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has emerged recently as a stand-alone bariatric procedure to treat morbid obesity and enhance glucose homeostasis. The aim of the study was to evaluate its effects in neonatally streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats (n-STZ diabetic rats). METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To induce diabetes, STZ (90 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally to 2-day-ol...

UNLABELLED Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the second most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide. Altered circulating gut hormones have been suggested to contribute post-operatively to appetite suppression, decreased caloric intake and weight reduction. In the present study, we report a 22-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic SG for obesity (BMI 46 kg/m(2)). Post-operatively, she rep...
