This study was carried out to determine the nutritional value of different chickpea varieties using in vitro gas production technique.As a result, significant variations in terms of chemical composition, gas production rate and metabolizable energy, net lactation energy and digestible organic matter were found among the 8 different chickpea varieties. The crude protein contents of chickpea vari...

Emission from the 212 – 111 line of H2CO has been detected and marginally resolved toward LkCa 15 by the Nobeyama Millimeter Array. The column density of H2CO is higher than that observed in DM Tau and than predicted by theoretical models of disk chemistry; also, the line-intensity profile is less centrally peaked than that for CO. A similar behavior is observed in other organic gaseous molecul...

In the last years there has been a huge growth and consolidation of the Data Mining field. Some efforts are being done that seek the establishment of standards in the area. Included on these efforts there can be enumerated SEMMA and CRISP-DM. Both grow as industrial standards and define a set of sequential steps that pretends to guide the implementation of data mining applications. The question...

background: deltamethrin (dm) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that can elicit neurotoxicity, leading to apoptosis. there is accumulating evidence that oleuropein (oe) has anti-apoptotic effect. the purpose of this study was to determine the anti-apoptotic effect of oe pretreatment in the neuronal cells of cerebral cortex. methods: rats were randomly divided into four groups each containin...

An in vitro gas production technique was used to evaluate the effects of different adsorbents on the gas production parameters of lead-exposed diet. Ruminal fluid, obtained from fistulated sheep (3-4 years of age and 40±5 kg BW), and experimental diets samples, 200 ± 0.2 mg DM, were incubated in 100 mL glass bottles. To each bottle, one of the following treatments was applied: 1) control (no Pb...

A 14-year old domestic shorthair cat was presented because of vomiting, anorexia and an abdominal mass. A diagnosis could not be made preoperative and during surgery the mass was assigned to the gastric part of the pancreas. A partial pancreatectomy and splenectomy was performed using a Ligasure® vessel sealing device. No surgery related complications occurred. Histological examination revealed...

Abstract Introduction EEG spectral power in the alpha range is indicative of a wake-like state, with typically high during wakefulness and reduced sleep. We previously reported that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) activity-regulated cytoskeleton associated protein (ARC) gene modulates non-REM theta power. Here we sought to determine whether ARC genotype also phenotypic differences REM Meth...
