The first part of this tutorial will examine the present “infrastructure” of MOS modeling for circuit simulation, with particular emphasis on how history has played a role at least as large as that of engineering. The viewpoint will be that of an analog design “consumer” of MOS models who must make the best possible use of a badly flawed infrastructure. In recent years, the entire structure of ...

Previous work has demonstrated that the Xenopus protooncogene mosxe can induce the maturation of prophase-arrested Xenopus oocytes. Recently, we showed that mosxe can transform murine NIH3T3 fibroblasts, although it exhibited only 1-2% of the transforming activity of the v-mos oncogene. In this study we have investigated the ability of the v-mos protein to substitute for the mosxe protein in st...

Atomically thin molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) sheets were synthesized and isolated via solvent-assisted chemical exfoliation. The charge-dependent electrochemical activities of these MoS₂ sheets were studied using positively charged hexamine ruthenium (III) chloride and negatively charged ferricyanide/ferrocyanide redox probes. Ultrathin MoS₂ sheet-based electrodes were employed for the electroch...

The use of mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) has gained in popularity in recent years due to regulatory restrictions of using AGP in food animal production. Benefits of MOS usage include improvement on animal performance, feed efficiency, and gastrointestinal health. The molecular mechanisms of these functions however are not clear. The goal of t...

This study was conducted to compare the effects of mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) and antibiotics as a dietary supplement on ADG, ADFI, G:F, and feed nutrient digestibility of rabbits during the fattening period, as well as on carcass traits and meat quality. A total of 512, sixty-day-old hybrid Hyla rabbits were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups based on BW and sex. The 4 treatment groups...

Morvan syndrome (MoS) is a rare paraneoplastic autoimmune disorder characterized by peripheral nerve hyperexcitability, autonomic dysfunction, and sleep disorders. Systemic lupus erythmatosus (SLE) cooccurs in 6-10% of patients with thymoma. It may occur before, concurrently with, or after thymoma diagnosis. This paper reports the first case of cooccurrence of SLE, thymic carcinoma, and MoS. Th...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mannan oligosaccharide (mos; activemos®) on haematological and biochemical parameters of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles. fish fed during 60 days with a basal diet supplemented with 1, 2.5 and 4 g kg-1 mos. blood samples were collected from caudal vein of 36 apparently healthy fish at the end of trial and data was analysed by reg...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the efficacy of mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) fed at two levels of Cu on growth and feed efficiency of weanling and growing-finishing pigs, as well as the effect on the immunocompetence of weanling pigs. In Exp. 1, 216 barrows (6 kg of BW and 18 d of age) were penned in groups of six (9 pens/treatment). Dietary treatments were arranged as a 2 x 2 fact...

Adult Beagles (36) and mixed-strain hounds (4), in 8 groups of 5 dogs each, were used to evaluate organic matter digestibility of 4 diets having no fibrous ingredient (CON), beet pulp (BP), soybean hulls (SH), or cellulose (CEL), with or without 0.11% mannan oligosaccharide (MOS; Bio-Mos r , Alltech, Inc., Nicholasville, KY). Analyzed total (and soluble) fiber percents, respectively, were: 8.1 ...

Injection of antisense oligonucleotides was used to investigate the function of c-mos in murine oocytes. Oocytes injected with antisense c-mos oligonucleotides completed the first meiotic division but failed to initiate meiosis II. Instead, loss of c-mos function led to chromosome decondensation, reformation of a nucleus after meiosis I, and cleavage to two cells. Therefore, c-mos is required f...
