To investigate the maternal plane of nutrition and role of Se yeast on muscle Se concentration, plasma glutathione peroxidase (Gsh-Px) activity, and colostrum Se concentration in mares and their foals, 28 Quarter Horse mares (465 to 612 kg of BW, and 6 to 19 yr of age) were used in a study with a randomized complete block design. Mares were blocked by expected foaling date and randomly assigned...

in this paper a first step in classifying the fuzzy normalsubgroups of a finite group is made. explicit formulas for thenumber of distinct fuzzy normal subgroups are obtained in theparticular cases of symmetric groups and dihedral groups.

background: due to difficulty of obtaining a 24h urine (especially in children), a random urine calcium sample is recommended to detect of hypercalciuria. however, recent studies have shown that the urinary calcium/creatinine ratio varies with age and geographic areas. so, the aim of this study was determining the normal value of urinary calcium to creatinine ratio in healthy adolescent’s child...

let x1;x2;...;xn have a jointly multivariate exchangeable normal distribution. in this work we investigate another proof of the independence of x and s2 using order statistics. we also assume that (xi ; yi); i =1; 2;...; n; jointly distributed in bivariate normal and establish the independence of the mean and the variance of concomitants of order statistics.

Results on procedures for freezing stallion semen and the subsequent fertility during 20 years are presented. The present system applied in French National Stud includes: (1) a freezing protocol (dilution in milk, centrifugation and addition of freezing extender (INRA82+egg yolk (2%, v/v)+glycerol (2.5%, v/v) at 22 degrees C, a moderate cooling rate to 4 degrees C and freezing at -60 degrees C/...

Postpartum metritis in mares is a life-threatening condition associated with severe clinical signs due to endotoxemia, and it often followed by complications such as laminitis. Repeated large-volume uterine lavages are commonly recommended part of the treatment protocol remove endotoxin-laden contents from uterus. It has, however, also been suggested that may increase uptake endotoxin into circ...

geometrical profile (roughness) of joint surfaces influences the behaviour of rock joints under shear loading. with regard to the dilation, there are two models of direct shear test that may simulate the original loading condition existing in the location from where the specimens have been sampled. the first model in which the normal load is constant (cnl) and the discontinuity is free to dilat...
