The impact of colonic fermentation on postileal absorption of Ca, Mg, P, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn was investigated in 8 ileally cannulated grower pigs (initial BW = 29.1 ± 1.6 kg) according to a double 4 × 4 Latin square. A semi-purified diet was supplemented with 5.20% low viscous, low fermentable cellulose (CEL), 6.25% high viscous, low fermentable carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), 8.95% low viscous, h...

The Picornaviridae family comprises a large group of non-enveloped viruses that have a major impact on human and veterinary health. The viral genome contains one open reading frame encoding a single polyprotein that can be processed by viral proteinases. The crucial 3C proteinases (3C(pro)s) of picornaviruses share similar spatial structures and it is becoming apparent that 3C(pro) plays a sign...

CEL-SCI Corporation (AMEX: CVM) is a biopharmaceutical company involved in research and development of immune-boosting drugs and vaccines. Three products in various stages of development are Multikine, L.E.A.P.S., and HGP/30W. These products dramatically enhance normal immune responses against cancer cells and infectious agents. The immunotherapy company that succeeds in redirecting and augment...

Description logics (DLs) are an important family of formalisms for reasoning about ontologies. CEL (Classifier for EL) is a free (for non-commercial use) LISP-based reasoner for the description logic EL [2], supporting as its main reasoning task the computation of the subsumption hierarchy induced by EL ontologies. The most distinguishing feature of CEL is that, unlike other modern DL reasoners...

We present a method for applying complex textures to hand-drawn characters in cel animation. The method correlates features in a simple, textured, 3-D model with features on a hand-drawn figure, and then distorts the model to conform to the hand-drawn artwork. The process uses two new algorithms: a silhouette detection scheme and a depth-preserving warp. The silhouette detection algorithm is si...

This paper describes the Contract Expression Language (CEL), currently being developed at the industry consortium Content Reference Forum. The CEL is an XMLbased language designed to express contractual agreements between different parties for the purposes of capturing and communicating contractual information, and facilitating contract execution and enforcement by machines with respect to gran...

OBJECTIVE To further define clinical features associated with the syndrome of diabetes and pancreatic exocrine dysfunction due to mutations in the carboxyl-ester lipase (CEL) gene and to assess the effects of pancreatic enzyme substitution therapy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Nine patients with CEL gene mutation, exocrine deficiency, and diabetes were treated and followed for 30 months. RES...

The isolation of lignin is of great importance to understand its structural characteristics. A lithium chloride/dimethyl sulfoxide (LiCl/DMSO) solvent system has been developed for the dissolution of lignocellulose and for the isolation of lignin for this purpose. In this work, ball-milled wheat leaf (sheath included) was dissolved in the LiCl/DMSO solvent system and then regenerated in water. ...

The carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) gene is highly expressed in exocrine pancreas and expression of the human CEL gene is mediated by a strong tissue-specific enhancer, which is absolutely necessary for high-level expression. The mouse promoter, on the other hand, does not contain a corresponding enhancer element, but instead is totally dependent on another pancreas-specific element. This element i...
