Background Three device-assisted deep endoscopic platforms presently exist and are available for clinical use: double-balloon enteroscopy, single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE), and spiral enteroscopy (SE). In a retrospective study, SE was associated with a greater depth of maximal insertion (DMI) with similar diagnostic yields and procedure time as compared with SBE. Aims This was a prospective, ...

Intake measurements were carried out in 22 tapirs from seven UK zoological collections. Dry matter intake (DMI) ranged from 48 to 86 g/kg0.75/d. Across collections, the highest proportion of the ingested diet consisted of pelleted feeds (including grains and bread) at 46 ± 17 %DMI, followed by commercial produce at 26 ± 12 %DMI, roughage (excluding browse) at 17 ± 11 %DMI, and browse at 11±11 %...

To investigate the extent to which enteric methane (CH4) emissions from growing lambs are explained by simple body weight and diet characteristics, a 2 × 2 Latin square changeover design experiment was carried out using two sheep breeds and two fresh pasture types. Weaned lambs of two contrasting breed types were used: Welsh Mountain (WM, a small, hardy hill breed) and Welsh Mule × Texel (TexX,...

Eight ruminally fistulated steers were utilized to evaluate the effects of amount of dried distillers grains (DDG) supplementation on forage dry matter intake (DMI), digestibility, and rumen parameters in steers consuming bermudagrass round bale silage (RBS). Treatments consisted of RBS only or RBS plus daily supplementation of DDG at 0.33, 0.66, or 1.0% of bodyweight (BW). There was quadratic ...

We investigate the ground state properties of quantum skyrmions in a ferromagnet using variational Monte Carlo with neural network as ansatz. study states two-dimensional Heisenberg model presence Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) and show that accommodates skyrmion for large range parameters, especially at DMI. The spins these are weakly entangled, entanglement increases decreasing also ...

We investigated spin wave (SW) propagation and emission in thin film systems with strong interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) utilizing micromagnetic simulation. The effect of DMI on SW is analogous to the flow magnetic medium leading Doppler effect, a spin-polarized current can enhance or suppress it. It demonstrated that, for velocity exceeding critical value, shock-wave-like S...

We demonstrate the effect of shape deformation in spin–orbit torque magnetoresistive random access memory (SOT-MRAM) based on micromagnetic simulation by generating 1000 randomly deformed samples using exponentially decaying autocorrelation function. The conventional in-plane magnetic field-assisted SOT write scheme and recently proposed spin-transfer torque-spin-orbit (STT-SOT) hybrid were sim...

This study examined the relationship of residual feed intake (RFI) and performance with feeding behavior and ruminal fermentation variables in pregnant beef cows offered a grass silage diet. Individual grass silage DMI (dry matter digestibility = 666 g/kg) was recorded on 47 gestating (mean gestation d 166, SD = 26 d) Simmental and Simmental × Holstein-Friesian beef cows for a period of 80 d. C...

Thirty two multiparous Holstein cows were used in a randomized block design to investigate the effects of feeding diets included two different source of nonfiber carbohydrate during the transition period on dry matter intake (DMI), lactational performance, blood metabolites and parturitional characteristics. Cows received total mixed rations containing either macaroni wastes(MW) or steam-flaked...
