Steers of known percentage Brahman (B) and Angus (A) breeding (100% A, n = 6; F1 B x A, n = 6; and 100% B, n = 6) were used to determine the effect of calcium chloride injection on the calpain proteinase system and meat tenderness. The steers were slaughtered in six replications (at either 9 or 14 mm of backfat, determined ultrasonically), with each breed type represented. Calpains and calpasta...

In pituitary lactotrophs the prolactin gene is stimulated by neuropeptides and estrogen and is suppressed by dopamine via D2-type receptors. Stimulatory signals converge on activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1/2, but dopamine regulation of this pathway is not well defined. Paradoxically, D2 agonists activate ERK1/2 in many cell types. Here we show that in prolactin-secreting...

CRLM (red square); (B,C) The corresponding T1W images obtained before (B) and 66 sec after (C) i.v. injection of Gd-DTPA; The suspected lesion was not enhanced with DCE-MRI (B, enlarged square), despite the injection success as the whole liver was enhanced (C). In the corresponding HRI maps (D-ΔSo2 map; E-ΔSco2 map), the suspected CRLM were clearly highlighted (D,E circles). Bar=1 cm in A and a...

We study computability theoretic properties of computable injection structures and the complexity of isomorphisms between these structures. We prove that a computable injection structure is computably categorical if and only if it has finitely many infinite orbits. We also prove that a computable injection structure is ∆2 categorical if and only if it has finitely many orbits of type ω or finit...

Like natural seismicity, induced seismicity caused by injection also shows a power law size distribution, and its gradient b-value is used for seismic hazard analysis. Despite the well-known result that negatively correlated with differential stress earthquakes, there no similar correlation variations because nearly constant injection-induced we thus investigate dependence on relative shear act...

The vitamin B 2 content of foods has historically been determined as total riboflavin (TRF), and the most common method of TRF analysis has been the AOAC standard fluorometric procedure. A modification of this method to permit the use of flow injection analysis (FIA) is reported here. A number of foods were analyzed and the results generally agreed with the published values. However, the standa...

Tryptophan contents of liver, serum and kidney were determined in normal and vitamin-B-6-deficient rats after tryptophan injection. Tryptophan contents of normal and B-6-deficient liver were different, but not those in serum and kidney. Both kynurenine and 3-hydroxykynurenine accumulated in B-6-deficient liver more than in the normal. The 3-hydroxykynurenine contents after tryptophan injection ...

The Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) method aims to increase oil production. One of the EOR methods is CO2 injection. injection mechanism by expanding volume oil, reducing viscosity, and mobility ratio. purpose study was compare recovery factor gain in waterflood, Miscible Continuous injection, WAG with a three-dimensional simulation methodology using CMG Compositional software CW Field. From field,...
