Excess Leu reduces the availability of Ile and Val in pigs likely by reducing absorption of the latter amino acids (AA). Twenty-four crossbred pigs were used to evaluate the effect of excess Leu alone or with surplus Ile and Val on the expression of cationic (b(0),(+)AT and CAT1) and neutral (B(0)AT1) AA transporters in the small intestine, liver, and skeletal muscle. Dietary treatments include...

Let X be a projective manifold, ρ : X̃ → X its universal covering and ρ∗ : V ect(X) → V ect(X̃) the pullback map for isomorphism classes of vector bundles. This article makes the connection between the properties of the pullback map ρ∗ and the properties of the function theory on X̃. Our approach motivates a weakened version of the Shafarevich conjecture: the universal covering X̃ of a projective m...

and Applied Analysis 3 The content of the paper is as follows. In Section 2, for the convenience of the reader, we recall some concepts and results on function spaces and pullback attractors which we will use. In Section 3, we prove the existence of pullback attractors in the spaces S0 Ω and L2p−2 Ω by using the asymptotic a priori estimate method. In Section 4, under additional assumptions of ...

This paper studies a fuzzy graph rewriting with single pushout approach from a viewpoint of fuzzy relational calculus. Two possible kinds of matchings for fuzzy graph rewritings are given, namely, a rigorous matching which just generalizes matchings for crisp (or ordinary) graph rewritings, and an "-matching which represents rather ambiguous or fuzzy one. Finally the pullback structure of fuzzy...

in this paper, we presented algebroids and crossed modules of algebroids. we also presented pullback crossed module of algebroids and we then define pushout crossed modules of algebroids.

BACKGROUND Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 (Middle East-Asia Minor 1) feeding alters antioxidative enzyme activity in some plant species. Infestation of B. tabaci nymphs decreases Myzus persicae performance on systemic, but not local leaves of tobacco plants. However, it is unclear if B. tabaci nymphs induced antioxidant activities contributing to the aphid resistance. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We ...

pullback test has no scrupulous theoretical establishment. it is based on the hypothesis that the response ofthe structure can be related to the response of an equivalent single degree-of-freedom (sdof) system. this implies thatthe response is controlled by a single mode. in fact, the steel frame of each safe room, which is introduced within theunreinforced masonry buildings for protecting the ...
