The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of concentrations of forages and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on production of lactating dairy cows. Twelve Holstein cows were assigned randomly to replicated 4 × 4 Latin squares in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Diets were formulated containing low forage (LF; 41% of diet DM) or high forage (HF; 60% of die...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of EM on the consumption, nutritive value and digestibility of corn forage (Zea mays L.) processed into corn silage after harvesting at two growth stages. Stage 1 silage contained 25 percent dry matter and stage 2 silage, harvested nine days later, contained 37 percent dry matter. The first experiment involved feeding trials with sheep and ...

BACKGROUND The Women's Health Initiative dietary modification (DM) trial provided suggestive evidence of a benefit of a low-fat dietary pattern on breast cancer risk, with stronger evidence among women whose baseline diet was high in fat. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the FGFR2 gene relate strongly to breast cancer risk and could influence intervention effects. METHODS All 48,835 t...

Density is one of the most prevalent physical property used to classify and characterise fluids, not only in the environmental, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage industries, but also in hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI). Petroleum products are everywhere in today’s life, and have become almost natural parts of the modern world. Numerous products used on a daily basis are der...

It is known that the Standard Model describing all of the currently known elementary particles is based on the U(1)×SU(2)×SU(3) symmetry. In order to implement this symmetry on the ground of a non-flat space-time manifold one should introduce three special bundles. Some aspects of the mathematical theory of these bundles are studied in this paper. 1. The Dirac bundle and its basic fields. Spin ...

ART: antiretroviral therapy CADM: clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis DM: dermatomyositis ILD: interstitial lung disease MDA5: melanoma differentiationeassociated protein 5 MFU: median fluorescence units INTRODUCTION Dermatomyositis (DM) is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy that can affect children and adults and is characterized by muscle inflammation and characteristic cutaneous findings....

The relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular disease is well recognized.1,2 The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (World Health Organization [WHO] 1985 and 1999)3,4 and fasting plasma glucose (FBG) (American Diabetes Association [ADA] 1997 and 2003)5 are both methods for diagnosing DM. The agreement between these methods has been questioned in several epidemiological stud...

In this paper, we discuss the following conjecture raised by BaumDouglas: For any first-order elliptic differential operator D on smooth manifold M with boundary dM , D possesses an elliptic boundary condition if and only if d[D] = 0 in Kx(dM), where [D] is the relative AT-cycle in K0(M, dM) corresponding to D . We prove the "if part of this conjecture for dim(M) ± 4, 5, 6, 7 and the "only if p...
