an experiment was conducted to determine the optimal level of supplemental lysine in a corn-soybean mealcottonseed meal starter diet. three hundred and sixty day-old male chicks (ross 308) were used in a completely randomized design (15 birds per each pen). a basal diet was formulated to meet or exceed nrc (1994) recommendations except for lysine. graded levels of supplemental lysine (0, 0.1, 0...

We examined meiotic and mitotic gene conversion events involved in deletion of Ty elements and other insertions from the genome of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We found that Ty elements and one other insertion were deleted by mitotic gene conversion less frequently than point mutations at the same loci. One non-Ty insertion similar in size to Ty, however, did not show this bias. Mitotic ...

A description of the blood supply is important for clinical reasons. The intratympanic part of the nerve, the mastoid cells, the semicircular canals and the tympanic cavi ty are mainly nourished by the s ty lomastoid artery, a branch of the posterior auricular, which enters the Fal lopian canal at the s ty lomastoid foramen and runs proximally. There are two principal anastomoses . A t the knee...

The virus-like particles (VLPs) of the yeast retrotransposon Ty are genetically, structurally and functionally analogous to retroviral nucleocapsids or cores. Like retroviral cores Ty-VLPs package and possibly promote the enzyme activities for reverse transcription and integration, as well as encapsulating the RNA that is the intermediate in retrotransposition. Here we show that Ty-VLPs assembl...

The effects of Sarcoma 180, heterologous tissue implantation, and turpent ine treatment upon adrenal and liver adenine nueleotide-metabolizing enzymes were~ investigated. Adrenal 5'-nueleotidase act ivi ty was elevated significantly by progressive S-180 growth. No definite alteration in adrenal 5'-nueleotidase act ivi ty was induced by heterologous tissue implantation. Turpent ine t rea tment d...

Motivated by the need to reason about u t i l ities, and inspired by the success of bayesian networks in representing and reasoning about probabilities, we introduce the notion of ut i l i ty distr ibutions, in which uti l i t ies have the structure of probabilit ies. We furthermore define the notion of a bi-d istr ibut ion, a structure that includes in a symmetric fashion both a probabil i ty ...

BACKGROUND Overexpression of Aurora A and B has been reported in a wide range of tumor types, including gastric cancer. Anti-angiogenesis has been considered as an important therapeutic modality in advanced gastric cancer. Here we identified a novel compound TY-011 with promising antitumor activity by targeting mitotic kinases (Aurora A and B) and angiogenic receptor tyrosine kinase (VEGFR2). ...

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus and root-knot nematodes cause diseases in tomato that can lead to heavy production losses. Resistance genes against both pathogens are available and used in breeding. Molecular markers for resistance gene alleles greatly enhance selection of resistant plants in breeding. In order to make marker-assisted selection for the most commonly used resistance genes in tomat...

For x ∈ Z let Tx denote the triangular number x(x + 1)/2. Following the recent approach of Z. W. Sun, we show that every natural number can be written in any of the following forms with x, y, z ∈ Z: x + Ty + Tz , x 2 + 2Ty + Tz , x 2 + 3Ty + Tz , x + 5Ty + 2Tz , x 2 + 6Ty + Tz , 3x 2 + 2Ty + Tz , x + 3y + Tz , 2Tx + Ty + Tz , 3Tx + 2Ty + Tz , 5Tx + Ty + Tz . This confirms some conjectures raise...
