myostatin (mstn), also known as growth and differentiation factor-8 (gdf8), is a member of the transforming growth factor beta (tgf-?) superfamily that decreases growth in mammals. a single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) in the myostatin (gdf8) 3'utr of oar2 has been known as responsible for muscular hypertrophy in foreign breeds. in this study, in order to identify single nucleotide polymo...

The Sunyaev Zel'dovich effect (SZ effect) is a complete probe of ionized baryons, the majority of which are likely hiding in the intergalactic medium. We ran a 512 3 ΛCDM simulation using a moving mesh hydro code to compute the statistics of the thermal and kinetic SZ effect such as the power spectra and measures of non-Gaussianity. The thermal SZ power spectrum has a very broad peak at multipo...

foundations behavior is affected by soil behavior which can vary from dilative to contractive depending on the stress level, particularly in dense frictional soils. the zero extension lines (zel) method has been generally developed to predict the foundations behavior. knowledge of soil behavior enables the zel method to predict the general and local shear failure modes. in this paper, a relativ...

Our three frequencies radiometer MASTER, which allows low noise observations in three frequency intervals around 90, 220 and 345 GHz is being completed. We discuss the possibility of exploiting the MASTER's characteristics for studies of the Sunyaev Zel'dovich effect from the Antartic Plateau and propose an observational program from Dome C.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of cut and irrigation water quality on chemical composition and in situ dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) degradability of alfalfa. Three fistulated Zel sheep (approximately 2 years old) were used in a complete randomized design to evaluate the in situ rumen degradability. Ruminal in...

We present an overview of the current status and the future of observations of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich eeect. In particular we examine the capabilities of an upgraded Australia Telescope for detecting the SZ eeect.

the objective of the current study was to investigate the effects of sex and carcass weight on the fatty acid composition in longissimus dorsi in zel lambs. thirty pasture reared lambs (15 males and 15 females) were randomly selected from local flocks. following slaughtering, the carcasses were assorted into two groups, according to their weights (>15kg and
