Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and symmetric differences squared (SDS) methods for estimating genetic and environmental variances and covariances associated with beef cattle weaning weight were compared via simulation. Simulation was based on the pedigree and record structure of 503 beef weaning weights collected over 19 yr from a university herd. The SDS methodology was used with four models. Th...

AIM The Australian Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) database was established to monitor the efficacy and safety of growth hormone (GH) treatment in PWS. This study aims to compare response to GH based on eligibility criteria. METHODS Comparative study: 72 children received GH on the basis of short stature or evidence of GH deficiency (pre-2009: PWS-SS) and 94 on a genetic diagnosis (post-2009: PWS...

The main factor affecting the economics of foam-assisted water alternative gas (FAWAG) process is the loss of foaming agent by adsorption onto reservoir rocks. In this study, the effects of phases, surfactant concentration, salinity, adsorbents, and sacrificial agent on adsorption density were investigated by special adsorption experiments. Moreover, a series of FAWAG tests were performed to ex...

Animal-derived xenogeneic biomaterials utilized in different surgeries are promising for various applications tissue engineering. However, decellularization is necessary to attain a bioactive extracellular matrix (ECM) that can be safely transplanted. The main objective of the present study assess structural integrity, biocompatibility, and potential use acellular engineering applications. Henc...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is a strong surfactant that is widely used in protein sample preparation. While protein and peptide samples containing up to approximately 1% SDS can be analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) using a two-layer matrix/sample deposition method, the presence of SDS in a protein sample generally degrades mass resolution and ...

BACKGROUND Bipolar depression is characterized by depressive symptoms and impairment in many areas of functioning, including work, family, and social life. The objective of this study was to assess the independent, direct effect of lurasidone treatment on functioning improvement, and examine the indirect effect of lurasidone treatment on functioning improvement, mediated through improvements in...
