Spoilage of meat has remained a serious challenge in developing countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the beef and lamb meat quality from supermarkets and shops in summer and winter season. Beef and lamb meat were stored at 4±1 o C during 5 days and test for microbiological properties, oxidation stability, and color properties, in beef and lamb meat. Samples were collected from...

Data on antifungal prophylaxis in paediatric cancer patients at high risk for invasive fungal disease (IFD) are scant. Intermittent administration of liposomal amphotericin B (LAMB) has been shown to be safe and effective in adult patients with haematological malignancies. We prospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of prophylactic LAMB at a dosage of 2.5 mg/kg twice weekly in children a...

Adhesively bonded joints between metallic and composite plates are gaining increasing acceptance in safety critical applications such as automotive and aerospace structures. Lamb wave methods have considerable potential for the inspection of adhesive joints and assemblies for two reasons: they do not require direct access to the bond region, and they are much more amenable to rapid scanning tha...

presentation of a very rare monster case in the sheep was highlighted. a monster lamb twinned to a normal lamb. cesarean section, morphological examination and necropsy. at cesarean operation, a live male twin and a phenotypically male monster were delivered. the monster was diagnosed as holoacardius acephalus.presentation of a very rare monster case in the sheep was highlighted. a monster lamb...

We present the calculation of Next-to-Leading-Order Quantum Chromo Dynamics corrections for the production of a W or Z weak boson associated with a bottom anti-bottom quark pair at hadron colliders (pp̄, pp → W/Z bb̄), including the effects of a non-zero bottomquark mass. We find a considerable reduction of the renormalization and factorization scale dependence of our results with respect to Lead...

The study aimed to assess additive breed effects for growth (birth, weaning and ewe adult weight), fitness (lamb survival tick count under natural challenge) reproduction traits per mated in Dorpers, the most common meat South Africa (SA), SA Mutton Merino (SAMM) a prominent dual-purpose extensive environments. Additionally, reciprocal crosses between two breeds were used estimate dam heterosis...

a study was conducted to evaluate effects of age at weaning on various growth characteristics and stress measures of zandi lambs. the lambs were weaned at 45 and 90 days of age. the body weights and average daily gain (adg) were monitored during the experimental period and 5 months of age. cortisol, glucose, blood urea nitrogen (bun) and lamb behavior (agitation, vocalization) were recorded bef...

Matching pursuit (MP) is an adaptive signal decomposition technique and can be applied to process Lamb waves, such as denoising, wave parameter estimation, and feature extraction, for health monitoring applications. This paper explored matching pursuit decomposition using Gaussian and chirplet dictionaries to decompose/approximate Lamb waves and extract wave parameters. While Gaussian dictionar...

Bacteriophage lambda adsorbs to its Escherichia coli K-12 host by interacting with LamB, its cell-surface receptor. We fused C-terminal portions of J, the tail fiber protein of lambda, to maltose-binding protein. Solid-phase binding assays demonstrated that a purified fusion protein comprising only the last 249 residues of J could bind to LamB trimers and inhibited recognition by anti-LamB anti...

We compared the efficacies of liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB) and an amphotericin B lipid complex (ABLC) in diabetic ketoacidotic (DKA) or neutropenic mice with disseminated zygomycosis. ABLC was as effective as LAmB in neutropenic but not DKA mice. Low-dose ABLC was less effective than LAmB at reducing brain fungal burdens in both models.
