Our objective was to compare measurement of Warner-Bratzler shear force of beef longissimus within and among institutions when each institution used its own protocol and when all institutions used a standardized protocol. In Exp. 1, each of five institutions (A, B, C, D, and E) received two adjacent steaks from each of 27 beef strip loins (longissimus lumborum). Warner-Bratzler shear force was ...

The objective of this research was to examine the effect of high concentrations of nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) on the voluntary food intake of sheep fed high-quality grasses. Wether lambs (n = 6 per treatment) were fed dried switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.; Exp. 1) or dried tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.; Exp. 2). In both experiments, urea was added to the dried forage at 0 (control), ...

in this study, independent variables were time (1-15 min0, temperature (25-45) and power of ultrasound. results showed that time of ultrasound was linear (p

Complexation of dietary phytate with cations is a major cause of reduced bioavailability of Zn and possibly Cu in pig diets. We conducted 2 studies with 2 treatments in young growing pigs (8 to 40 kg) to estimate potential contributions of phytase to availability and supply of Zn and Cu, respectively. Each treatment comprised 10 pens with 8 pigs each as experimental units. In Exp. 1, 500 phytas...

We study the algebra of semigroups Laplacians on Weyl algebra. consider first-order partial differential operators $\nabla^\pm_i$ forming Lie $[\nabla^\pm_j,\nabla^\pm_k]= i\mathcal{R}^\pm_{jk}$ and $[\nabla^+_j,\nabla^-_k] =i\frac{1}{2}(\mathcal{R}^+_{jk}+\mathcal{R}^-_{jk})$ with some anti-symmetric matrices $\mathcal{R}^\pm_{ij}$ define corresponding $\Delta_\pm=g_\pm^{ij}\nabla^\pm_i\nabla^...

Five experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of a high-protein, whey protein product (WPP; 73% CP, 6.8% lysine, 12.8% fat, and 5% lactose) and spray-dried animal plasma (SDAP) on growth performance of weanling pigs. In all experiments, pigs were fed experimental diets from d 0 to 14 after weaning in a pelleted form and then a common diet in meal form for the remainder of the experime...

AIMS To investigate mortality from lung cancer in nickel-cadmium battery workers in relation to cumulative exposure to cadmium hydroxide. METHODS The mortality of a cohort of 926 male workers from a factory engaged in the manufacture of nickel-cadmium batteries in the West Midlands of England was investigated for the period 1947-2000. All subjects were first employed at the plant in the perio...
