The experiment investigated the digestion of lipids from different forage silages in beef steers. Six Hereford x Friesian steers prepared with rumen and duodenal cannulas were given ad libitum access to a high-sugar grass silage, control grass silage, red clover silage, or mixtures of the red clover and each of the grass silages (50:50, DM basis). The experiment was conducted as an incomplete 5...

We study the phase structure of QCD at finite temperatures with two flavors of dynamical quarks on a lattice with the size N3 s ×Nt = 163×4, using a renormalization group improved gauge action and a clover improved Wilson quark action. The simulations are made along the lines of constant physics determined in terms of mPS/mV at zero-temperature. We show prelimnary results for the spatial string...

Twenty-four multiparous Holstein-Friesian dairy cows were used in a replicated 3×3 Latin square changeover design experiment to test the effects of changing from corn (Zea mays) silage to red clover (Trifolium pratense) silage in graded proportions on feed intakes, milk production, and whole-body N and P partitioning. Three dietary treatments with ad libitum access to 1 of 3 forage mixtures plu...

We test the scaling properties of a recently proposed improved lattice-fermion action, the fat link clover action, for lattice spacing a = 0.09 and 0.16 fm. The action scales as well as the conventional nonperturbatively improved clover action. Tests done at small quark mass on quenched lattices of lattice spacing 0.12 fm show that it has fewer problems with pathological lattice artifacts (“exc...

Background  Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are the foundation of spermatogenesis. Sound wave especially low intensity ultrasound (LIUS) can be effective on increasing the number of cells. In this study we investigated the effect of LIUS stimulation on mouse SSCs proliferation and colonization. Methods: Isolated SSCs from neonate mice cultured in DMEM culture medium with 10% Fetal Bovine S...

We compute the hyperfine splitting mJ/ψ − mηc on the lattice, using both the Wilson and O(a)-improved (clover) actions for quenched quarks. The computations are performed on a 243×48 lattice at β = 6.2, using the same set of 18 gluon configurations for both fermion actions. We find that the splitting is 1.83 + 13 − 15 times larger with the clover action than with the Wilson action, demonstratin...

scince 1990 research on clover has been commenced in karaj and other field stations of seed and plant improvement institute, iran. one of the achievements of this initiative is selection, improvement and release of alborz 1 crimson clover cultivar. new crimson clover cultivar, alborz 1 was primarily selected from clover germplasm received from food and agriculture organization (fao), the united...

A new genus Sireuma is described to accommodate a new species, S. nobile, from a cave in Portugal. The unique features of the male gonopods and the absence of a postvulvar organ support the creation of a new genus. The new species is illustrated with scanning electron micrographs and diagrammatic drawings. Differences vis-à-vis its relatives are discussed, and information on the environment in ...

1. Two experiments are described in which kinetic aspects of calcium metabolism were studied in housed lactating sheep consuming different fresh herbage species. The importance of protein supply was also investigated. 2. In Expt. 1, two groups (n 4) were offered, ad lib., a freshly cut ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)-white clover (Trifolium repens L.) pasture containing 5.48 g Ca/kg dry matter (DM...

Objective(s): To investigate the role of autophagy in advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-induced proliferation and migration in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).Materials and Methods: After culture, VSMCs were treated with 0, 1, 10, and 100 μg/ml concentrations of AGEs. Autophagy specific protein light chain 3 (LC3)-I/II was determined by western blotting, autophagosomes were observ...
