Blood metabolic profiles were determined from 40 days prepartum to 60 days postpartum in Uruguayan Holstein (UH) (n = 13) and UH x New Zealand Holstein-Friesian first cross (UH-NZHF) (n = 13) cows with seven in each group experiencing their second lactation (L2) and six experiencing their third lactation (L3). Non-esterified fatty acids increased around calving and tended to be greater in UH-L3...

We studied Heinz body-containing erythrocytes with three different unstable hemoglobins: Nottingham, Brockton, and unclassified. We demonstrated two classes of membrane protein defects in unstable hemoglobin-containing cells (UH-RBCs), a defect of the spectrin-depleted inside-out vesicle (UH-IOV), and a defect of spectrin (UH-spectrin) itself. The composition of UH-IOVs is the same as control w...

We introduce a universal R matrix for the Jordanian deformation of U (sl(2)). Using Uh (so(4)) = Uh (sl(2))U?h(sl(2)), we obtain the universal R matrix for Uh (so(4)). Applying the graded contractions on the universal R matrix of Uh (so(4)), we show that there exist three distinct R matrices for all of the contracted algebras. It is shown that Uh (sl(2)), Uh (so(4)), and all of these contracted...

I.2 Soit Vh l’espace d’éléments finis P k, c’est-à-dire l’espace des fonctions continues, qui sont polynomiales (de degré k) par morceaux sur un maillage du domaine Ω. Le problème discrétisé s’écrit : trouver uh ∈ Vh tel que pour tout vh ∈ Vh, a(uh, vh) = l(vh). Comme Vh ⊂ H1 0 (Ω), on a, pour tout vh ∈ Vh, a(u− uh, vh) =, 0 et donc a(u− uh, u− uh) = a(u− uh, u− vh). On en déduit facilement que...

BACKGROUND Recently, autoantibodies against novel UH-RA peptides (UH-RA.1 and UH-RA.21) were identified as candidate biomarkers for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are seronegative for the current diagnostic markers rheumatoid factor and anticitrullinated protein antibodies. Previously, screening for anti-UH-RA autoantibodies was based on measuring the immunoglobulin (Ig) G response...

We study the asymptotic behaviour, as h tends to +∞, of the nonlinear system:    −∆uh − uh + |uh|uh = f in Ωh, Duh · ν = 0 on ∂Ωh, uh : Ωh → R2, in a varying domain Ωh in R2. The boundary ∂Ωh contains an oscillating part like a comb with fine teeth periodically distributed in the first direction 0x1 with period h−1 and thickness λh−1, 0 < λ < 1. We identify the limit problem where the operat...

The melting-induced change in the density of physical network junctions, which are formed by chain entanglements and junctions due to anchoring segments crystals, is studied 1H NMR T2 relaxometry for solution- melt-crystallized ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), sc-UH, mc-UH, respectively. results complemented real-time synchrotron wide- small-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS SAXS) a...
