Prepubertal F1 heifers (n = 246; from crossbred dams bred to either Hereford [H], Limousin [L], or Piedmontese [P] sires) were fed 1.9% (LF) or 4.4% (HF) dietary fat from 254+/-4 d of age until they reached puberty or the breeding season started. Safflower seeds (37% oil with 79% linoleic acid) were the added fat source. Blood samples and backfat thickness measurements were obtained from 60 ran...

Multiparous beef (1/4 to 3/8 Bos indicus; n = 99) cows were managed to achieve low (BCS = 4.3 +/- 0.1; n = 50) or moderate (BCS = 6.1 +/- 0.1; n = 49) body condition (BC) to determine the influence of bovine (b) ST on the number of follicles, diameter of largest follicle, and serum concentrations of IGF-I, triiodothy-ronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and prolactin. Beginning 32 d postpartum, cows wi...

Objectives were to estimate effects of sire breed (Dorset, Finnsheep, Romanov, Texel, and Montadale), dam breed [Composite III (CIII) and northwestern whiteface (WF)], mating season (March and May), and their interactions on reproductive traits of mature F1 ewes in spring mating seasons. A total of 1,099 F1 ewes produced 1,754 litters of 2,995 lambs from exposures to Suffolk rams during March a...

The proof is based on the optimality conditions on β̂ for the original problem, and those on β̌ for the restricted problem. We first observe that β̌n exists, since the function x 7→ ‖x‖1 is coercive. Recall that β̌n is assumed to be uniquely defined. To achieve sparsistency, it suffices that β̂n = β̌n and supp β̌n = suppβ ∗. We derive sufficient conditions for β̂n = β̌n in Lemma 2.1, and make this suffi...

In this paper we study the Reiter P2 – condition for commutativ hypergroups and give necessary and sufficient conditions for x ∈ supp π, where π is the Plancherel measure. Finally we apply the general results to characterize supp π in the case of polynomial hypergroups. AMS Subject Classification (1991):43A62, 42C05, 43A07

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stroke following the intravenous injection of drugs may be secondary to the direct effect of the substance itself or from embolization by the inert vehicle used in the manufacturing process of the drug. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe a 39-year-old man who developed a left homonymous hemianopia after intravenous injection of a melted suppository. CONCLUSIONS Paradoxical ...

Leucorrhoea, the unusual vaginal discharge is a common problem now-a-days in gynaecological practice. It may be physiological but when turn into pathological condition, produce associated problems like itching vulva, backache and so as to anxiety to a female suffering from the entity. It is quoted as a symptom in multiple gynaecological problems. Management of leucorrhoea depends upon the causa...
