The main objective of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters for multi-trait evaluation of birth weight (BW), gestation length (GL) and calving difficulty (CD) in first-parity Iranian Holstein dairy cattle. The data included 29,950 calving records collected during 1995 to 2014 by the Animal Breeding and Improvement Center of Iran. A threshold-linear sire-maternal grandsire model was ...

1. Introduction. Let A denote the adele ring of the rational numbers Q and suppose that we have a cuspidal automorphic representation re of GL 2 (A). (For the terminology and the details, we refer the reader to Gelbart [3] and Jacquet and Langlands [5]). Langlands [9] has described how one can attach an L-function to ic. To describe this construction briefly , one can associate to 7r, a family ...

A complex of five human cytomegalovirus virus (HCMV) proteins, gH, gL, UL128, UL130, and UL131 (gH/gL/UL128-131), is essential for virus entry into epithelial cells. We previously showed that gH/gL/UL128-131 expressed in epithelial cells interferes with subsequent HCMV entry into cells. There was no interference with only gH/gL or gB. We concluded that the expression of gH/gL/UL128-131 causes a...

BACKGROUND Epidemiologic studies suggest that diets with a low glycemic index (GI) or glycemic load (GL) are associated with a decreased risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Intervention studies are inconsistent, however, possibly due to differences in macronutrient and fiber compositions of the experimental diets. OBJECTIVE We tested side-by-side test foods with similar macronutrient and f...

The objective of the present study was to investigate whether early undernutrition changes the chronic inflammatory response, so as to study its influence on pharmacological response to indomethacin. Rat offspring of dams fed from the first day of gestation to term or throughout the lactation period received a balanced diet (NN) or a basic regional diet (BRD) from northeast Brazil. According to...

L-phenylalanine was produced by genetically modified bacterium, Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), using glycerol as an alternative carbon source. Response surface methodology (RSM) involving central composite design (CCD) was adopted to evaluate the amount of L-phenylalanine produced. In this work, the optimum concentrations were determined of the major nutrients in the fermentation medium, which inc...

We introduce super Yangian double DYh̄[gl(m|n)] and its central extension ̂ DYh̄[gl(m|n)]. We give their defining relations in terms of current generators and obtain Drinfeld comultiplication. Queen Elizabeth II Fellow; Email: [email protected] This paper concerns with Drinfeld current realization [1] of super Yangian double DYh̄[gl(m|n)] and its central extension ̂ DYh̄[gl(m|n)]. The Yangian doubl...

in this paper‎, ‎we study convergence behavior of the global fom (gl-fom) and global gmres (gl-gmres) methods for solving the matrix equation $axb=c$ where $a$ and $b$ are symmetric positive definite (spd)‎. ‎we present some new theoretical results of these methods such as computable exact expressions and upper bounds for the norm of the error and residual‎. ‎in particular‎, ‎the obtained upper...

In this study, novel biogenic silver (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were developed using a green approach with Ganoderma lucidum (GL) extract. The optimization of synthesis conditions for the best outcomes was conducted. prepared materials characterized their applicability in catalysis, antibacterial chemical sensing comprehensively evaluated. GL-AgNPs crystals formed spherical shape an...
