Dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) is a major secretory product of odontoblasts and is critical for proper tooth dentin formation. During dentinogenesis, DSPP is proteolytically cleaved into smaller subunits. These cleavages are proposed activation steps, and failure to make these cleavages is a potential cause of developmental tooth defects. We tested the hypothesis that dentin-resident matrix ...

1. Energy exchanges and other physiological functions associated with eating and rumination were determined in four experiments. Sheep were given chopped, dried grass (DGC), pelleted, dried grass (DGP) or fresh grass (FGC). 2. In Expt I a preliminary study was made using all three diets. The dry matter (DM) of DGP was eaten significantly faster than that of chopped diets. Sheep salivated most d...

The present study compared the effects of feeding dried grape pomace (DGP) or citrus pulp (DCP) at 150 g/kg dry matter to a control diet on major polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), volatile and sensory profiles beef. Feeding DGP DCP diets Angus steers for 90 d increased proportions C18:2n-6, C20:4n-6, C18:3n-3, total conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), n-3 n-6 PUFA in muscle. Control-fed beef had ...

Wediscuss a discretization-based solution approach for a classic problem in global 1 optimization, namely the distance geometry problem (DGP).We focus our attention on a par1 2 ticular class of the DGP which is concerned with the identification of the conformation of 3 biological molecules. Among the many relevant ideas for the discretization of the DGP in 4 the literature, we identify the most...

Braneworld models with induced gravity have the potential to replace dark energy as the explanation for the current accelerating expansion of the Universe. The original model of Dvali, Gabadadze and Porrati (DGP) demonstrated the existence of a “self–accelerating” branch of background solutions, but suffered from the presence of ghosts. We present a new large class of braneworld models which ge...

This paper describes research in improving DGP (Dependency Graph Parser). DGP is one of the most efficient dependency parser for Polish today. However, it is non-deterministic which makes it insufficient when numerous graphs are proposed for one sentence. In our research we aim to overcome this problem by adding weights to grammar rules and thus making possible to rank the output trees and choo...
