Lectin affinity chromatography combined with mAb production was used to identify chick neural cell surface molecules related to L1 antigen, a mouse neural glycoprotein implicated in cell-cell adhesion (Rathjen, F. G., and M. Schachner, 1984, EMBO (Eur. Mol. Biol. Organ.) J., 3:1-10). A glycoprotein, G4 antigen, isolated by mAb G4 from adult chick brain is described which comprises a major 135-k...

The effect of using varied levels of dietary protein with high energy levels in rearing diets on pullet development and on subsequent layer performance in hot climates, was studied using 160 Lohmann White Leghorn pullets. Five replicate groups of 16 pullets, 1 day of age were randomly assigned to each of two series of rearing diets. Pullets in both treatments were fed a 190 g crude protein (CP)...

A 66-year-old diabetic man presented with breathlessness, vomiting, and fever. His initial blood count demonstrated hemoglobin 135 g/L (130-175), platelets 155 3 10/L (150-400), and white blood cells 18.3 3 10/L (4-11). His hemoglobin fell rapidly over 6 hours to 44 g/L, platelets fell to 39 3 10/L, and white blood cells increased to 20.4 3 10/L. D-Dimer assay was 35 857 ng/mL (,250), fibrinoge...

It has become fashionable to equate constructs of working memory (WM) and general intelligence (g). Few investigations have provided direct evidence that WM and g measures yield similar ordering of individuals. Correlational investigations have yielded mixed results. The authors assess the construct space for WM and g and demonstrate that WM shares substantial variance with perceptual speed (PS...

Forty-two individually housed entire male pigs weighing 37.5 ± 0.15 kg (mean ± SEM) were used in a randomized block design having 7 dietary treatments (n = 6). The dietary treatments were 5 semisynthetic diets containing 350 g/kg of soybean (Glycine max) meal (SBM) with variable heat treatments (0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 min autoclaved at 135°C), a protein free (N-free) diet, and an enzymatically hy...

In this article, we present a large-area synthesis of carbon microtubes (CMTs) with internal diameters of ∼1.5 μm and wall thicknesses on the order of 50 nm and their lithium ion intercalation and deintercalation properties for the first time. The results show that CMTs exhibit a good capacity retention of 443 mAh g-1 after 20 cycles, higher than the theoretical capacity of graphite and ∼1.5 ti...

Rhesus monkeys were fed high cholesterol and cholesterol-free diets for 21-24 months. The animals were then given isotopic cholesterol intravenously and autopsied from 1 to 51 weeks later. The plasma and aortic cholesterol contents were 633 +/- 130 mg/dl and 35.6 +/- 11.4 mg/g dried tissue (45.5% in ester form) for atherosclerotic monkeys and 135 +/- 25 mg/dl and 9.9 +/- 3.6 mg/g (15.0% in este...
