Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of a novel synthetic emulsifier product (AVI-MUL TOP) on the growth performance of chickens for fattening and weaned piglets. The emulsifier product consists of 50% vegetal bi-distillated oleic acid emulsified with 50% glyceryl polyethyleneglycol ricinoleate. In experiment 1, 480 1-day-old female Cobb500 chickens for fattening were assigned...

This paper revolves around the impact of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies in Indian Manufacturing industries. Statistics inculcates that a number of industries subsists, which are using different forms of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT). “Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT)” is a generic term, depicting an assembly of manufacturing technologies, which combines both scope and ...

Background This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of abdominal manual therapy (AMT) on bowel dysfunction after spinal cord injury (SCI), investigating interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) and related c-kit expression. Methods Model rats were divided as SCI and SCI with drug treatment (intragastric mosapride), low-intensity (SCI + LMT; 50 g, 50 times/min), and high-intensity AMT (S...

The use of absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy for following the progress of the photoreaction between DNA and 4-aminomethyl-4,5‘,8-trimethylpsoralen (AMT) has been investigated. Absorption at long wavelengths and fluorescence both decline upon intercalation of AMT into the DNA helix. The loss of fluorescence from AMT and the accompanying appearance of monoadduct fluorescence upon irradiat...

While Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (AMT) helped launch online crowd work in 2005, a myriad of newer vendors now offer alternative feature sets and workflow models for accomplishing quality crowd work. Unfortunately, research on crowd work has remained largely focused on AMT, with little exploration of other platforms. Such near-exclusive focus on AMT risks its particular vagaries and limitations ov...

Symptoms in Tourette syndrome (TS) are likely related to abnormalities involving multiple neurotransmitter systems in striatal-thalamo-cortical circuitry. Although prior studies have found abnormal levels of tryptophan, serotonin, and their metabolites in blood, cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue of TS patients, understanding of focal brain disturbances and their relationship to clinical phen...

This study aims to build a framework for affect-focused (or affective) mathematical teaching (AMT), while promoting higher-order learning (e.g., pattern finding and deep understanding). The data sources were the class mathematics grounding activity designed by Taiwan’s educators, aiming enhance students’ affective performances in with theoretical base on enactivist perspective. Qualitative meth...

Background Interventions to define medical jargon have been shown improve electronic health record (EHR) note comprehension among crowdsourced participants on Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT). However, AMT may not be representative of the general population or patients who are most at-risk for low literacy. Objective In this work, we assessed efficacy an intervention (NoteAid) EHR in a community ho...

AIM To report the failure of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) for ocular surface reconstruction in patients with severe acute chemical and thermal burns. METHODS Four eyes of three patients who suffered severe chemical (n=3) and thermal (n=1) burns were studied. The aim of AMT was to prevent symblepharon formation, promote conjunctival regeneration, inhibit corneal melting by promoting...
