1. Zinc deficiency was produced experimentally in guinea-pigs fed on a diet containing 1.25 mg Zn/kg diet over a period of 60 d. In addition, the response of the Zn-deficient (ZnD) animals to Zn supplementation was studied for 15 d. 2. In the ZnD group a significant reduction was found in serum Zn and protein concentrations and in alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1; AP) activity from day 24 onwar...

This report describes experimental studies and analyses on the detonation properties of flammable gases that may be present in the waste storage tanks at Hanford, WA. These studies were carried out in the Explosion Dynamics Laboratory, part of the the Graduate Aeronautical Laboratories of the California Institute of Technology (GALCIT). Detonation cell sizes and pressures were measured in the G...

background: consequences of cerebral palsy in adulthood can affect physical, psychological capabilities and quality of life. the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between quality of life with spasticity and level of motor function in iranian young adults with spastic cerebral palsy who were community dweller. methods: in an analytical cross sectional study, 77 participan...

Confirming a conjecture of Lyng–Raoofi–Texier–Zumbrun, we show that stability of strong detonation waves in the ZND, or small-viscosity, limit is equivalent to stability of the limiting ZND detonation together with stability of the viscous profile associated with the component Neumann shock. More, on bounded frequencies the nonstable eigenvalues of the viscous detonation wave converge to those ...

A whole genome association (WGA) study was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for body conformation traits in Hanwoo cattle. The phenotypes of 497 steers were recorded from the Hanwoo Improvement Center of National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, Seosan, Korea, and analyzed using the Illumina Bovine 50 k SNP chip. A set of 35,987 SNPs that were available in the Hanwoo popu...
