Crossbred wethers (72; 31 k 0.5 kg) were used to determine effects of different grass sources and qualities on visceral organ mass after 42 and 84days. Wethers consumed ad libitum bermudagrass (BER; Cynodon dactylon) (H, 24-day regrowth; M, 42-day regrowth; L, full-season growth) or orchardgrass (ORC; Dactylis glomeruta) (H, late vegetative to pre-anthesis; M, post-anthesis; L, seed in dough st...

In a chirp spread spectrum (CSS) system, the overlap technique is used for increasing bit rate. More overlaps can offer higher data throughput; however, they may cause more intersymbol interference (ISI) at the same time, resulting in serious bit error rate (BER) performance degradation. In this paper, we perform the BER analysis and derive a closed form BER expression for the overlap-based CSS...

Abstract Background Berberine (Ber) is a herbal alkaloid with pharmacological activity in general and high anticancer potency particular. However, due to its low bioavailability, the difficulty reaching target choosing right dose, there need improve approaches of Ber use therapy. In this study, Ber, noncovalently bound carbon nanostructure C 60 fullerene (C ) at various molar ratios components,...

For a bounded linear operator $A$ on reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}(\Omega)$, with normalized $\widehat{k}_{\lambda} = \frac{k_{\lambda}}{\lVert k_{\lambda}\lVert}$, the Berezin symbol, number and norm are defined respectively by $\widetilde{A}(\lambda) \langle A\widehat{k}_{\lambda},\widehat{k}_{\lambda}\rangle$, $ber(A) \sup_{\lambda\in\Omega}\left|\widetilde{A}(\lambda)\right|...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contains higher steady-state levels of oxidative damage and mutates at rates significantly greater than nuclear DNA. Oxidative lesions in mtDNA are removed by a base excision repair (BER) pathway. All mtDNA repair proteins are nuclear encoded and imported. Most mtDNA repair proteins so far discovered are either identical to nuclear DNA repair proteins or isoforms of nu...

Epidemiologic studies have revealed a complex association between human genetic variance and cancer risk. Quantitative biological modeling based on experimental data can play a critical role in interpreting the effect of genetic variation on biochemical pathways relevant to cancer development and progression. Defects in human DNA base excision repair (BER) proteins can reduce cellular tolerance...

The base excision repair (BER) process removes base damage such as oxidation, alkylation or abasic sites. Two BER sub-pathways have been characterized using in vitro methods, and have been classified according to the length of the repair patch as either 'short-patch' BER (one nucleotide) or 'long-patch' BER (LP-BER; more than one nucleotide). To investigate the occurrence of LP-BER in vivo, we ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a trauma-induced psychiatric disorder characterized by impaired fear extermination, hyperarousal, anxiety, depression, and amnesic symptoms that may involve the release of monoamines in the fear circuit. The present study measured several anxiety-related behavioral responses to examine the effects of berberine (BER) on symptoms of anxiety in rats after s...
