Studies were conducted to evaluate uterine motility and fertility of ova in ewes either given or not given supplemental selenium/vitamin E (SSE or NSE, respectively). The ewes were maintained on either an adequate plane of nutrition (APN) or an inadequate plane of nutrition (IPN). In a fertility study, 60 ewes were allotted to four treatment groups, (15 ewes per group): SSE-APN, NSE-APN, SSE-IP...

X 1908+075 is an optically unidentified and highly absorbed X-ray source that appears in early surveys such as Uhuru, OSO-7, Ariel V, HEAO-1, and the EXOSAT Galactic Plane Survey. These surveys measured a source intensity in the range of 2–12 mCrab at 2–10 keV, and the position was localized to ∼ 0.5. We use the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) All Sky Monitor (ASM) to confirm our expectation...

In the course of studies on biologically active substances from pathogenic microorganisms, a new antibiotic SO-75R1 was isolated from the mycelium of Nocardia brasiliensis IFM 075. This paper describes the fermentation, isolation and structural elucidation of SO-75R1. The seed broth was prepared by inoculating mycelial elements of the producing strain (IFM 075) grown on Sabouraud dextrose agar ...

The nutritional factors which affect lead absorption have been studied. Synthetic diets of known composition were compounded to contain 0-075% Pb as PbCl2 labelled with 203Pb. Rats were exposed to lead for periods of 48 hr. The dietary intake was then measured and the absorption of lead determined by means of a whole-body counter. Lead absorption was increased by high fat, low mineral, low prot...

The aim of the present study was to compare anthropometric, body composition and physiological parameters in middleand long-distance runners of the same performance level and to identify variables that could predict the probability of being either a middleor a long-distance runner. National-level middledistance (n=20, body mass M=70.5, SD=6.3 kg, body height M=1.80, SD=0.04 m,) and long-distanc...

This paper estimates separately the components of scattering waves generated in cylinder-body model for body area networks. For the evaluation, scattering field formulations in relation to uniform cylinderand slab-body models are provided, and the reliability of the analyses is testified by the comparison with results computed by the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Creeping waves, ...

Abstract The ray series method may be generalized using a ray centered coordinate system for general 3D-heterogeneous media. This method is useful for Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) seismic modeling, seismic analysis, interpretational purposes, and comparison with seismic field observations.For each central ray (constant ray parameter), the kinematic (the eikonal) and dynamic ray tracing system ...

1. Absorption of waves means generation of waves. A body oscillating in water will produce waves. A big body and a small body may produce equally large waves provided the smaller body oscillates with larger amplitude. This may be utilised for the purpose of wave energy conversion, for instance by a small floating body heaving in response to an incident wave, in particular so if it can be arrang...
