Beef finishing and dairy lactation experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of distillers grains (DG) from sorghum or corn fermentation, in both wet (35.4% DM) and dry (92.2% DM) form (dairy trial only). In the finishing experiment, 60 yearling steers were used in a completely randomized design with three diets that were fed for 127 d: 1) control diet with 86% (DM basis) dry...

We have earlier shown that dystroglycan (DG) is a lamininbinding protein and as such is a cell adhesion molecule. DG is a heterodimer of alpha and beta DG subunits. beta-dystroglycan (betaDG) is the membrane spanning subunit, whereas the alpha subunit is bound to the extracellular domain of betaDG. To study physiological function of the protein, we expressed full-length DG (FL-DG) and the cytop...

For a graph G = (V,E), the modified Schultz index of G is defined as S∗(G) = ∑ {u,v}⊂V (G) (dG(u) · dG(v))dG(u, v) where dG(u) (or d(u)) is the degree of the vertex u of G, and dG(u, v) is the distance between u and v. Lower bounds on modified Schultz index in trees in terms of the order and diameter are determined. Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C05, 05C12

For a nontrivial graph G, its first and second Zagreb coindices are defined [1], respectively, as M1(G) = ∑ uv ∈E(G) (dG(u)+dG(v)) and M2(G) = ∑ uv ∈E(G) dG(u)dG(v), where dG(x) is the degree of vertex x in G. In this paper, we obtained some new properties of Zagreb coindices. We mainly give explicit formulae for the first Zagreb coindex of line graphs and total graphs. Mathematics Subject Clas...

Opinions vary regarding how much distiller’s grains (DG) can be used effectively in lactation rations. In order to better understand conflicting reports and recommendations about the effect of DG on milk yield we examined 23 studies about DG in the dairy science literature. Inclusion of DG in treatment diets ranged from 4 to 42% of dietary DM across all studies. Our analysis of the entire datab...

Three deoxyglucose (DG) derivatives, S-DG, MAG(3)-DG and MAMA-BA-DG, were synthesized and labeled successfully with high labeling yields and high radio-chemical purities. Biodistribution in tumor-bearing mice demonstrated that these three new (99m)Tc-deoxyglucose derivatives showed accumulation in tumor and high tumor-to-muscle ratios. Among them, the (99m)Tc-MAG(3)-DG showed the best character...

Turning to Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is the most logical politics in securing the modern society from critical changes in earth increasing temperature. However, Distributed Generation (DG) sources could lead to new challenges in electricity network, mainly allocation of DG sources in distribution level of power system will set the existing network under stress of power flow parameters. The...
