The objective of this study was to determine the effects of castration on short-term growth performance, hormone profiles, and behavior in pigs at 3, 6, 9, or 12 d of age. Ninety intact male pigs were assigned randomly to a treatment age by litter [3, 6, 9, or 12 d of age; n = 9 to 13 pigs per treatment (age) group]. Pigs within a single litter were then assigned to noncastrated (NC) or castrat...

This paper provides a uniform semantics to capture various functions of Mandarin particle dou, including the quantifier use, FCI-licenser use, and scalar marker use. I argue that dou is a presuppositional exhaustifier that operates on sub-alternatives and has a pre-exhaustification effect.

There has been significant progress in our understanding of Free Choice any and of -ever free relatives in recent years. Very often, however, the investigation of these two Free Choice Items (FCI) in English has been conducted in parallel. One of the aims of this paper is to bring the two strands together in a way that can account for commonalities and differences between them and, perhaps, a t...

Recent studies have shown that release of mitochondrial cytochrome c is a critical step in the apoptosis process. We have reported that cytosolic redistribution of cytochrome c in vivo occurred after transient focal cerebral ischemia (FCI) in rats and preceded the peak of DNA fragmentation. Although the involvement of reactive oxygen species in the cytosolic redistribution of cytochrome c in vi...

The Structured Interview of Reported Symptoms (SIRS; Rogers et al., Structured interview of reported symptoms (SIRS) and professional manual, 1992) is a well-validated psychological measure for the assessment of feigned mental disorders (FMD) in clinical, forensic, and correctional settings. Comparatively little work has evaluated its usefulness in compensation and disability contexts. The pres...

We prove the statement in title for a suitable (wavefunction-dependent) choice of underlying orbitals and show that 3 is optimal. Thus, two-electron systems, quantum chemistry density matrix renormalization group (QC-DMRG) method with bond dimension combined fermionic mode optimization exactly recovers full configuration-interaction (FCI) energy.
