Maternal consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) during pregnancy and lactation is closely related to hepatic lipid accumulation, insulin resistance and increased serum cytokine levels in offspring and into their adulthood. MicroRNA (miRNA) have been implicated in cholesterol biosynthesis and fatty acid metabolism. We evaluated the modulation of hepatic fatty acid synthesis (de novo), β-oxidation ...

1966 cultures of meningococci isolated from patients in different areas of England and Northern Ireland have been sent to the Manchester Public Health Laboratory for serotyping and for testing for sensitivity to sulphonamides. From 1966 to the end of April 1972, we have typed 342 cultures isolated from blood or CSF: 27 strains were group A (8 %), 185 group B (54 %), 113 group C (33 %), one stra...

This experiment studied the effect of 3 different physical forms of linseed fatty acids (FA) on cow dairy performance, milk FA secretion and composition, and their relationship with methane output. Eight multiparous, lactating Holstein cows were assigned to 1 of 4 dietary treatments in a replicated 4 x 4 Latin square design: a control diet (C) based on corn silage (59%) and concentrate (35%), a...

Recently, Wang et al. [IEEE INFOCOM 2011, 820-828], and Nie et al. [IEEE AINA 2014, 591-596] have proposed two schemes for secure outsourcing of large-scale linear programming (LP). They did not consider the standard form: minimize cx, subject to Ax = b,x ≥ 0. Instead, they studied a peculiar form: minimize cx, subject to Ax = b,Bx ≥ 0, where B is a non-singular matrix. In this note, we stress ...
