Two studies were conducted to determine the influence of CP degradability and supplementation frequency (SF) on ruminant performance and N efficiency. Treatments included an unsupplemented control (CON) and degradable intake protein (DIP; 82% of CP) or undegradable intake protein (UIP; 60% of CP) provided daily, every 3 d, or every 6 d. Seven wethers (36 ± 1 kg BW) were used in the digestibilit...

Tip-enhanced near-field optical images and correlated topographic images of an organic semiconductor film (diindenoperylene, DIP) on Si have been recorded with high optical contrast and high spatial resolution (17 nm) using a parabolic mirror with a high numerical aperture for tip illumination and signal collection. The DIP molecular domain boundaries being one to four molecular layers (1.5-6 n...

The objective of this work is the creation of a bilingual (French/English) drug information portal (DIP), in a multi-terminological context. The development of the DIP was based on the CISMeF portal, which catalogues and indexes the most important and quality-controlled sources of institutional health information in French. DIP has created specific functionalities related to drug and used speci...

5-(2-bromoethyl)phenanthridinium bromide (BEP) undergoes a 3-step-one-pot cyclisation reaction with primary amines allowing the facile synthesis of a vast library of heterocycles. A diverse range of primary aryl amines were explored as reactants to gain insight into the product isolated as a result of the steric and electronic effects of the aryl precursors. Analysis and reaction monitoring wit...

A highly specific cyanide mediated proton transfer signalling (PTS) is exhibited by a simple diaminomalenonitrile (DAMN) derivative 1. By virtue of the functional groups on it, the chromophore offered a rigid anchoring on a silica surface via a simple dip method, while retaining the recognition behaviour. The PTS triggered a prompt dual-modal display i.e., chromogenic and fluorogenic. The signa...

Localized changes in oxygen consumption related to increased neural activity can result in a small and transient "initial dip" of the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal used in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The initial dip has been of great interest to the fMRI community because it may provide a more accurate and localized measure of neural activity than the convent...

Tumor cells rely upon membrane pliancy to escape primary lesions and invade secondary metastatic sites. This process relies upon localized assembly and disassembly cycles of F-actin that support and underlie the plasma membrane. Dynamic actin generates both spear-like and bleb structures respectively characterizing mesenchymal and amoeboid motility programs utilized by metastatic cells in three...

The Internet Distance Map Service (IDMaps) [3] provides distance estimates between any pair of hosts connected to the Internet. The IDMaps system comprises two component types: Tracers that measure distances between IP address prefixes, and Servers that collect measurement results and answer distance queries. The Distance Information Protocol (DIP) is used for Tracers to report measured distanc...

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterisation of six bis(5-X-pyridine-2-yl)isophthalamides (X = H, F, Br, Cl, I, NO2) are reported, together with five crystal structure analyses (for X F to I). isophthalamides span a range conformations as syn/anti (H-DIP; I-DIP), anti/anti- (F-DIP; Br-DIP) both present in ratio 2:1 Cl-DIP. essentially isostructural F-DIP Br-DIP molecules (using strong amide...
