The feeding of glucoascorbic acid, an analog of ascorbic acid, to mice and cotton rats caused the production of a condition exhibiting many of the changes characteristic of scurvy as seen in susceptible species. The condition was not prevented or cured by ascorbic acid, but was cured by removal of the glucoascorbic acid from the ration. The condition was produced in mice fed a highly purified r...

We develop a process calculus – the nanoκ calculus – for modeling, analyzing and predicting the properties of molecular devices. The nanoκ calculus is equipped with a simple stochastic model, that we use to model and simulate the behavior of a molecular shuttle, a basic nano device currently used for building more complex systems.

In this paper we consider possibilities to mimic quantum-like computations with classical nano-scale devices. In particular, we study dynamics of coupled oscillators arrays and propose a method to imitate basic one-qubit and two-qubit operations using coupled oscillator networks.

Enhancing the wicking/evaporative functionality of materials by surface nano/microstructuring is a key approach in creating advanced technologies based on liquid–vapor phase change, particularly field power generation for substantial fuel savings and reducing global greenhouse gas pollution. Despite technological importance, capillary flow liquid undergoing intensive evaporation hot nano/micros...

nano structured materials have wide range of applications due to their interesting size-dependent chemical and physical properties compared to particles of size in the range of micrometer. copper oxide nano materials are of interest on account of their potential uses in many technological fields. in this study  cuo nanoparticles were synthesized via simple sol gel method using basic cuso4 as we...

The effects of diet composition and ration size on the activities of key enzymes involved in intermediary metabolism were studied in the liver of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). High-carbohydrate, low-protein diets stimulated 6-phosphofructo 1-kinase (EC 2.7.1.11), pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.4...

Hedgecock, Loyd W. (Veterans Administration Hospital, St. Louis, Mo.). Dietary influence on innate and acquired resistance to tuberculosis. J. Bacteriol. 92:439-445. 1966.-The pattern of deaths of CF1 mice maintained both on a defined ration and on commercial chow, and infected with the H37Rv strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was compared with that of animals infected with four wild strains ...

The general objective of this study was to come up with an appropriate, affordable and locally available crop residue supplementation package that would enhance reproductive performance in small ruminants. Specifically, 28 Red Sokoto weaner does between 3 and 4 months of age weighing between 2 and 3 kg were used in the first experiment to determine the influence of crop residue supplementation ...
