From ambivalent to divalent

Despite decades of research on the effects of zinc in infectious diarrhea, there is surprisingly little consensus on how zinc works (or even if it works), on whether zinc’s effects are pathogen-specific, and what patient populations are most likely to benefit from zinc supplementation. Some recent articles focus on the growthpromoting effects of zinc on the pathogen itself, leading the reader t...

A Model for Selecting Buyer-supplier Relationships

This paper proposes a new method for selecting appropriate buyer-supplier relationships (BSR) for specific projects. Because it is almost impossible in reality to establish mathematical relationships between the BSR attributes and the factors of a project, the concept of relationship indices (RI) is introduced to quantify such BS relationships which are in turn established through design of exp...

Microscopic and flow cytometric semen assessment of Dutch AI-bucks: effect of semen processing procedures and their correlation to fertility.

This study was done to determine the effects of processing techniques on the quality of semen from Dutch AI-bucks with the view on improving pregnancy rates after artificial insemination (AI) with liquid or frozen-thawed semen. Motility of spermatozoa was estimated under a microscope whereas the percentage live spermatozoa and the percentage live spermatozoa with intact acrosomes were determine...
