dietary lysine had 35, 40 and 65 percent greater rate of gain, gain: feed ratio and gain: protein ratio, respectively, than those pigs fed the corn-soybean meal diet at 0.9 percent lysine and 17.9 percent crude protein. At 1.0 percent lysine (14.3 percent protein), the corn-whey-yeast diet produced 25, 35 and 59 percent greater average daily gain, feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio ov...

Ischaemic preconditioning in rats was studied using MRI. Ischaemic preconditioning was induced, using an intraluminal filament method, by 30 min middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), and imaged 24 h later. The secondary insult of 100 min MCAO was induced 3 days following preconditioning and imaged 24 and 72 h later. Twenty-four hours following ischaemic preconditioning most rats showed small...

The purpose of this project is to assess how information technology (IT) is being implemented and managed in U.S. dental schools. Recent advances in IT have restructured many of the administrative, curricular, and clinical functions in dental schools. Purchasing hardware and software and hiring personnel to maintain IT present significant financial and administrative commitments for these schoo...

PURPOSE The ketogenic diet is an alternative treatment for patients with refractory epilepsy. Most studies to date report dietary response in children. There are limited data evaluating the efficacy of the ketogenic diet in adults. This is a report of the long-term outcome in a largely adult population of patients treated with the ketogenic diet for epilepsy. METHOD Twenty-nine adult and adol...

abstract in order to efficacy evaluation of some new herbicides to control of weeds in corn, a set of field studies were conducted in 2007 at 4 province of iran, including tehran (varamin), khuzestan, fars, and kermansh. treatments were arranged in a rcbd design with four replications. treatments consisted of ultima (nicosulfuron+nimsulfuron), lumax (mesotrion+s-metolacholor+terbuthlazine), ami...

Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a useful monitor that can be utilized during carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Cognitive dysfunction is a subtler and more common form of neurologic injury than stroke. We aimed to determine whether reduced middle cerebral artery (MCA) mean velocity (MV) predicts cognitive dysfunction and if so, whether a threshold of increased risk of cognitive dysfunction can be iden...

in order to improve irrigation water productivity (wp) at rice production, a field experiment was conducted at shahid fozveh research station (esfahan region) during 2001-2003. experiment was arranged in a split plot design (rcbd) with three replications. the treatments were: three levels of irrigation managements including i1: permanent flooding under 3.5cm water during growth period, i2:perma...

Recent decades have seen significant improvements in health indicators in many East Asian countries. The infant mortality rate (IMR), a useful overall health indicator, fell from 40 per 1000 live births in 1990 to 35 in 1999 for the East Asia region as a whole (Table 1). Yet progress on health in the region has tended to lag that on other development indicators, and to disappoint in several way...
