In mammals, male embryos grow faster. Equine embryo size is highly variable for same developmental stage, with no reported relation to sex nor gene expression. Our objective was evaluate expression sexual dimorphism on equine D8 blastocysts. Non-nursing, Saddlebred mares located 2 experimental farms were inseminated the semen of one unique stallion per farm. At 8 d post ovulation, 17 and 11 fro...

the main object of this paper is to find out the impact of economic and institutional factors on export of services in considering the example of oic countries. panel data method as an econometrics approach is used for estimating models. results show that variables such as gdp per capita, the real exchange rate, foreign direct investment, and information infrastructures have positive and signif...

We present some new supersymmetric solutions of massive IIA supergravity involving D0-branes, a D8-brane and a string. For the bosonic fields we use a general ansatz with SO(8) symmetry.

D8/17, a B cell alloantigen, and its occurrence with DR/DQ antigens was examined in 54 patients with rheumatic heart disease and matched North Indian controls. Thirty-four patients (62.9%) carried D8/17 as compared with a frequency of 12.5% in controls (X2 by Yates', 18.75; p<0.0001). A marginally increased frequency ofhuman leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR3 (44.2% vs. 28.8%) and a significantly redu...

In [W] and [TW] the exact WKB theoretic structure of the most degenerate third Painlevé equation of type (D8) was investigated. In this paper we announce a result that this degenerate third Painlevé equation of type (D8) plays a special role of the canonical equation near a simple pole of Painlevé equations. We also explain an outline of its proof after reviewing several relevant results of [W]...

The design and implementation team of computer automation systems for the Polish power industry faced many difficult problems connected with the lack of experience in this domain in the country. Another kind of problems was implied by different levels of information and communication technology in that country and in well developed ones. The differences were generated by both internal (importat...

We study baryons and baryonic matter in holographic QCD with D4/D8/D8 multi-D brane system. In large-Nc holographic QCD, the baryon appears as a topologically nontrivial chiral soliton, which is called “brane-induced Skyrmion”. We also analyze the features of the baryonic matter in holographic QCD by investigating the system of single braneinduced Skyrmion on a three-dimensional closed manifold...

Airborne transmission of Pneumocystis carinii has been established, but the infective form and the sources of infection remain unknown. Animal models for studies of P. carinii have previously been limited to immunosuppressed rodents; however, this study was performed with nonimmunodepressed P. carinii-free rabbits. This study was aimed at determining (i) the delay between inoculation of animals...

D8/17, an alloantigen found on B lymphocytes, has been reported to be elevated in patients susceptible to rheumatic fever and may be associated with autoimmune types of neuropsychiatric disorders. The pediatric-autoimmune-neuropsychiatric-disorders-associated-with-streptococci model is a putative model of pathogenesis for a group of children whose symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and T...
