Pregnancy rate, calf survival rate to weaning and calf age at weaning of several types of crossbred cows (2/3 or more Brahman) were compared to those of straightbred Brahman and Angus cows over a 1 2 9 period at Subtropical Agricultural Research Station near Brooksville, FL. The purpose of this study was to determine the relative importance of additive vs nonadditive genetic effects on reproduc...

Plants depend on the surrounding light environment to direct their growth. Blue light (300-500 nm) in particular acts to promote a wide variety of photomorphogenic responses including seedling establishment, phototropism and circadian clock regulation. Several different classes of flavin-based photoreceptors have been identified that mediate the effects of blue light in the dicotyledonous genet...

in the present work, we have investigated the sorption efficiency of the treated activated carbon from walnut shell(acw) towards direct red 81 (dr81) and direct blue 71 (db71) for the removal from aqueous solution. thesorption study of acw at the solid-liquid interface was investigated using kinetic, sorption isotherms, ph effectand amount of adsorbent. experimental data were analyzed by langmu...

A novel type of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) dendronized polymer was designed and synthesized. Firstly, one side the asymmetric TADF unit encapsulated by 3,6-di-tert-butylcarbazole via a conjugated linkage with strong twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) to minimize energy gap between 1CT 3CT, then peripheral dicarbazole connects in non-conjugated way on other side, ...

INTRODUCTION Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has become routine and widely accepted for the removal of solitary pulmonary nodules of unknown etiology. Thoracosopic techniques continue to evolve with better instruments, robotic applications, and increased patient acceptance and awareness. Several techniques have been described to localize peripheral pulmonary nodules, including pre-operat...
