Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding wet corn gluten feed (WCGF) on subacute acidosis in cattle. In Exp. 1, 60 individually fed yearling steers (270 +/- 22 kg BW) were used in a 5 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Steers were assigned to one of five dietary treatments: 1) dry-rolled corn (DRC), 2) 35% WCGF fed d 1 to 132, 3) 86.5% WCGF fed d 1 reduced to 35% ...

Understanding the spatial clustering of Plasmodium falciparum populations can assist efforts to contain drug-resistant parasites and maintain the efficacy of future drugs. We sequenced single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the dihydropteroate synthase gene (dhps) associated with sulfadoxine resistance and 5 microsatellite loci flanking dhps in order to investigate the genetic backgrounds, g...

I f a picture paints a thousand words, the text generated by cryoelectron tomography (cryo-ET) could fi ll volumes. High resolution 3D reconstructions of fl agellar axonemes generated using cryo-ET are shaping our understanding of how structure relates to function, a point exemplifi ed by a new study which assigns a molecular identity to a formerly elusive ciliary structural feature—the nexin l...

This paper presents a semi-formal denotational definition of the semantics of a version of domain relational calculus called DRC. A single basic design principle governs the semantic definition: each predicate (or formula) of DRC denotes a relation. The definition obtained is precise, short, and systematic. Generalizations of operations of the relational algebra are suggested, which correspond ...

2.2 Na DRC estágios III e IV, a ingestão dietética de P deverá ser mantida em valores que atendam a recomendação de proteínas entre 0,6 e 0,8 g/kg/dia, porém não superior a 700 mg/dia se o P estiver acima dos valores normais e/ou se o paratormônio (PTH) estiver acima do nível recomendado para o estágio da DRC (Opinião). 2.3 Na DRC estágio V D, a ingestão dietética de P deverá estar entre 800 e ...

The neutron direct radiative capture (DRC) process is investigated, highlighting the role of incident p-wave neutrons. A set of calculations is shown for the C(n; ) process at incoming neutron energies up to 500 keV, a crucial region for astrophysics. The cross section for neutron capture leading to loosely bound s, p and d orbits of C is well reproduced by the DRC model demonstrating the feasi...

Flagellar motility drives propulsion of several important pathogens and is essential for human development and physiology. Motility of the eukaryotic flagellum requires coordinate regulation of thousands of dynein motors arrayed along the axoneme, but the proteins underlying dynein regulation are largely unknown. The dynein regulatory complex, DRC, is recognized as a focal point of axonemal dyn...

The capacity to repair different types of DNA damage varies among individuals, making them more or less susceptible to the detrimental health consequences of damage exposures. Current methods for measuring DNA repair capacity (DRC) are relatively labor intensive, often indirect, and usually limited to a single repair pathway. Here, we describe a fluorescence-based multiplex flow-cytometric host...

Religious communities from Mauritius still rely on traditional therapies (TT) for primary healthcare. Nonetheless, there is still a dearth of scientific information on TT used by the different religious groups to manage diabetes and related complications (DRC). This study aimed to gather ethnomedicinal knowledge on TT used by the different religious groups against DRC. Diabetic patients (n = 95...
