Estimated transmitting abilities for milk of 258,201 Holstein heifers from first lactations were regressed on sire's milk proof, maternal grandsire's milk proof, and either dam's estimated transmitting ability from milk in first lactation or dams's estimated transmitting ability from milk of all lactations. Effects of year of birth of dam, dam's estimated transmitting ability for milk from firs...

1 The idea of transmitting some traumatic knowledge of the past persists in Freud’s Beyond the Pleasure Principle as the idea of transmitting reminiscences of a past ruled by “the pleasure principle” but replaced by the present which is subjected to “the reality principle” (Freud, 1920). The loss of a world governed by immediate gratification is felt as particularly traumatic in the context of ...

Architectures for interconnection networks can be represented by graphs, while vertices represent processors and edges represent communication links between processors. We use the terms vertices and processors interchangeably. Let G = (V, E ) be a graph representing the topology for an interconnection network. Let vo be a special vertex outside GI called the host processor, which is connected t...

Many insect-transmissible pathogens are transmitted by specific insect species and not by others, even if they are closely related. The molecular mechanisms underlying such strict pathogen-insect specificity are poorly understood. Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris, OY strain, line W (OY), is a phytopathogenic bacterium transmitted from plant to plant by sap-feeding insect vectors (leafhoppers). Ou...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the influenceof different light curing systems and curing times on the micro-hardness of aresin modified glass ionomer. methods: forty two samples of resinmodified glass ionomer (rmgi) were prepared using stainless steel cylindrical mold(8 × 2 mm) and randomly divided into six groups of seven. three groups werecured with a quartz tungsten halo...

Prevalence of myopia is increasing worldwide. Outdoor activity is one of the most important environmental factors for myopia control. Here we show that violet light (VL, 360-400nm wavelength) suppresses myopia progression. First, we confirmed that VL suppressed the axial length (AL) elongation in the chick myopia model. Expression microarray analyses revealed that myopia suppressive gene EGR1 w...

The basic idea is to construct a mobile patrolling robot for security and monitoring. For an on-demand robotic system, a location aware module provides location information of objects, users, and the mobile robot itself. The probability-based location aware module is modified to handle RSSI measurements with a maximum of calibration. The resultant location calibration module will be more light-...

Laboratory-reared, Rickettsia tsutsugamushi-infected Leptotrombidium arenicola and L. fletcheri chiggers were fed on 1 and 2 human volunteers respectively. All subjects developed typical clinical signs and symptoms of scrub typhus beginning days 8-10 post chigger attachment (PCA); these included fever, severe headache, myalgia, regional lymphadenopathy, and eschar. The two L. fletcheri subjects...

This paper describes a new ranging technique using optical signals. The proposed technique is called LT-PAM (Long-Term Phase Accordance Method), and it has been extended from our own ranging technique called Phase Accordance Method (PAM). LT-PAM transmits multiple sync patterns composed of two sinusoidal waves with different frequencies. Unlike chirp modulation techniques, LTPAM transmits the t...
