Six hundred ten crossbred-yearling heifers (347 +/- 5 kg of initial BW) were obtained and used in a randomized complete-block design finishing study. Finishing diets were based on steam-flaked corn and ground alfalfa hay. The control (CONT) treatment contained no distillers grains with solubles (DGS), the second diet was formulated to contained 13% (DM basis) dried corn DGS derived from a tradi...

Student achievement in mathematics and science has been given prominent attention as the nation’s quest to achieve Vision 2020 and ability to face the challenges of globalisation are largely dependent on it. However, numerous studies have shown that achievement in mathematics has been less than satisfactory in both primary and secondary school levels and that many Malaysian pupils display phobi...

Pre-mRNA splicing is required for the accurate expression of virtually all human protein coding genes. However, splicing also plays important roles in coordinating subsequent steps of pre-mRNA processing such as polyadenylation and mRNA export. Here, we test the hypothesis that nuclear pre-mRNA processing influences the polyribosome association of alternative mRNA isoforms. By comparing isoform...

let $g$ be a simple graph with an orientation $sigma$‎, ‎which ‎assigns to each edge a direction so that $g^sigma$ becomes a‎ ‎directed graph‎. ‎$g$ is said to be the underlying graph of the‎ ‎directed graph $g^sigma$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we define a weighted skew‎ ‎adjacency matrix with rand'c weight‎, ‎the skew randi'c matrix ${bf‎ ‎r_s}(g^sigma)$‎, ‎of $g^sigma$ as the real skew symmetric mat...
