BACKGROUND Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are novel materials with considerable potential in many areas related to nanomedicine. However, a major limitation in the development of CNT-based therapeutic nanomaterials is a lack of reliable and reproducible data describing their chemical and structural composition. Knowledge of properties including purity, structural quality, dispersion state, and concent...

Forty-eight barrows (61 kg), 24 Yorkshire x Landrace (YL) and 24 YL x Duroc x Hampshire (YLDH), were used to evaluate the effect of six dietary ME levels on concentrations of plasma urea nitrogen (PUN) and free amino acids. All pigs consumed equal amounts of each nutrient, except for energy. As energy intakes increased from 12.42 to 35.01 MJ/d of ME (34 to 97% of NRC recommendations), ADG incre...

The Nguni. an indigenous, small to medium size cattle breed of eastern and northern South Africa is well adapted to low quality feed, has a high degree of tick resistance, is docile, early maturing and fertile. It is also a typical multi-purpose animal, used for meat, milk, leather, draught, saving account, as well as various socio-cultural functions. Because of its heterogeneity in colour, hor...

The present research examines evidence for the sentimentalist claim that emotions are the foundation of moral judgment. It considers the psychopath, known for his deficient emotional capacities, as a case study to test intuitions about the emotion’s role in moral judgment. Graham and colleagues (2009) examined moral judgment differences between psychopaths and non-psychopaths. Psychopaths showe...

lipid oxidation was studied in m. longissimusdorsiand m. semimembranosusin male lambs of northeastern bulgarian fine wool breed and cross of this breed with ile de france, reared indoors and on pasture. the oxidation of the lipids was determined by quantification of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars), formed during the storage of the muscles at 4 ˚с until 6th dayand -20 ˚с until 90...

Computed tomography (CT) myelography is used occasionally in the diagnosis of cervical spondylomyelopathy, but the type of lesion found in large- versus giant-breed dogs using this modality has not been characterized. Our purpose was to report the frequency of compressive lesions in large- and giant-breed dogs with cervical spondylomyelopathy and imaged using CT myelography. Fifty-eight dogs we...

abstract aim and background: the key purpose of the study was to investigation the relationship of job burnout and some of job variables like type and level of responsibility, service and mangement experiences. method and materials: this descriptive study was conducted on 245 managers and vice-chancellors randomly selected by the cluster-sampling technique. they were assessed by job burnout que...

Protein oxidationM.longissimus dorsi andM. semimembranosuswas studied in ram lambs of Northeastern Bulgarian Fine Wool Breed and cross of this breed with Ile de France, reared and in doors and on pasture.The degree of protein oxidation is determined by measuring the content of carbonyls, formed during the storage of the investigated muscles at low temperatures(4˚С till6thday and -20˚С till90thd...
