The development of an efficient and practicable method for transcervical collection of embryos in Awassi ewes to the improvement of embryo recovery was investigated. Twentyfour non-pregnant Awassi ewes of 3-4 years of age were randomly allocated into two groups (n = 12). Each ewe was treated with a progesterone impregnated intra-vaginal sponge for 12 days. The following superovulation treatment...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To examine our experience with surgically treated radiation-associated malignancy (RAM) of the temporal bone. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Thirteen patients treated surgically for temporal-bone RAM during 1999 to 2012 were identified. Demographics, symptoms at presentation with RAM, interval between initial radiotherapy and diagnosis of RAM, patholo...

Spin Transfer Torque RAM (STT-RAM) is a form of computer data storage which allows data items to read and write faster. Every peripheral circuit have some static power consumption, which is consumed while there is no circuit activity. The main objective of the paper is to reduce the static power consumption in peripheral circuits with the help of STT-RAM technology. Instead of fetching instruct...

The mRNA cap is a structure added to RNA pol II transcripts in eukaryotes, which recruits factors involved in RNA processing, nuclear export and translation initiation. RNA guanine-7 methyltransferase (RNMT)-RNA-activating miniprotein (RAM), the mRNA cap methyltransferase complex, completes the basic functional mRNA cap structure, cap 0, by methylating the cap guanosine. Here, we report that RN...

The objective of this study was to investigate the use of four different mathematical functions (Wood, Inverse Polynomial, Quadratic and Cubic models) for describing the lactation curve of unimproved Awassi ewes. Data were collected from 136 ewes from the same flock raised on the State Farm of Gözlü in the Konya Province of Turkey. The differences in estimated total milk yields between the mode...

most women want to know about possible consequences radiology, radioisotope or even television terminal. because knowing about them, prevent from fear. fetus is inevitably placed to some types of radiation. environmental radiation occurs from atmosphere, soil and buildings. total radiation above, ingested and possibly inhaled radioisotopes probably is seventy five-thousandth to one-tenth of ram...

Characteristic of the udder, milk traits and their relationship were investigated in 32 Awassi ewes raised in a commercial flock. Commencing one month after lambing milk yield was recorded at monthly intervals until the ewes were dried. Also, the udder traits were measured, including udder width, udder circumference, udder length, distance between teats and length and diameter of both teats. Re...

We examined the effects of variation in swimming speed, or 'ram speed', on the feeding kinematics of juvenile Indo-Pacific tarpon, Megalops cyprinoides. Tarpon were filmed feeding on non-elusive prey at 500 images s(-1). Prey items were offered at one end of the filming tank, the opposite end where tarpon grouped, to encourage them to use a ram strategy to capture their prey. We describe tarpon...

Expression of the transmembrane receptor protein Ram-1 may be critical to optimizing retroviral gene transfer. Ram-1 acts as both a sodium-dependent phosphate transporter and a receptor for amphotropic retroviruses. We previously reported detectable Ram-1 in murine hematopoietic fetal liver cells (FLC) despite resistance of these cells to amphotropic retroviral transduction (infection). We docu...

This study was conducted in the Animal Farm, College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad, from march to may 2013, to clarify the effect of subcutaneous vitamin C injection on semen characteristics of Awassi rams. Six rams (1.5-2 years old) were randomly divided into three groups of 2 rams. Rams in T1and T2 were subcutaneously injected, every other day with dose of 50 and100 mg/kg body weight ...
