A study was done to determine whether broilers can regulate Ca intake when limestone is provided separately or mixed with a crumbled feed of variable Ca and P content, and the influence of this on performance and apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of Ca and P (AIDP). Twelve crumbled diets were fed from 10 to 20 d of age (8 replicates, 8 broilers/replicate). Diets A to D contained 0.28% nonphyta...

Congenital fistulae between the tracheobronchial tree and oesophagus usually originate from the lower end of the trachea or right main bronchus. The case history is presented of a man in whom a fistula between the oesophagus and left main bronchus was not diagnosed until the age of 48.

The general scheme of vertical zonation of organisms of marine hard substrate in the uppermost zones, as suggested by many authors (STEPHENSON & STEPHENSON, 1949, 1972; LEWIS, 1964, 1972; BALLESTEROS & ROMERO, 1988), in principle, corresponds to the scheme of the Mediterranean (PÉRÈS & PICARD, 1964; PÉRÈS, 1967; COPPEJANS, 1974; BELLAN-SANTINI et al., 1994, 2002) and the Adriatic Sea (PÉRÈS & G...

A challenging synthesis yields a bis(carbene) AuI-CNC pincer precursor complex that may be oxidized to remarkably redox-stable [AuIII(CNC)Cl]+ cation which shows significant cytotoxicity towards breast cancer cell line. Electrophoresis, viscometry, and spectroscopic data suggest the likely mode of interaction compound with DNA involves partial intercalation, enabling it potentially target both ...

In criminal intelligence analysis to complement the information entailed and to enhance transparency of the operations, it demands logs of the individual processing activities within an automated processing system. Management and tracing of such security sensitive analytical information flow originated from tightly coupled visualizations into visual analytic system for criminal intelligence tha...

The shape-controlled synthesis of metal nanoclusters (NCs) with precise atomic arrangement is crucial for tailoring the properties. In this work, we successfully control the shape of alloy NCs by altering the dopants in the alloying processes. The shape of the spherical [Pt1 Ag24 (SPhMe2 )18 ] NC is maintained when [AuI SR] is used as dopant. By contrast, the shape of Pt1 Ag24 is changed to be ...

Replacement dolomite in the Latemar carbonate buildup, northern Italy, formed when limestone was infiltrated by and reacted with Mg-rich fluid. It occurs in discrete bodies in sharp contact with unreacted limestone. The dolomite developed in a nearly orthogonal lattice of vertical columns (replacement of limestone breccia pipes) and sheets (replacement along fractures and limestone-dike contact...

Pseudonannolene ambuatinga n. sp. and Pseudonannolene saguassu n. sp. are described from individuals collected in limestone caves in the municipality of Pains, Minas Gerais, Brazil, which comprises a scenario of great conflict between speleological preservation and limestone extraction. The two species differ in their gonopod morphology and in size and color. Pseudonannolene ambuatinga n. sp. i...
