two experiments were conducted to determine threonine (thr) requirements of two commercial strains, ross 308 and cobb 500, based on standardized ileal digestibility from 15 to 28d of age. basal diet consisted of wheat, triticale, and corn gluten meal was formulated according to quick chick (2006) to be adequate in all nutrients except for thr. incremental levels of supplemental thr were added t...

previous studies on etiology of squamous cell carcinoma (scc) of the tongue have reported results with respect to long term exposure to cigarette smoking and alcohol abuse. the aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for scc of the tongue in a set of patients with minimum exposure to cigarette smoking and alcohol. sixty four cases with diagnosis of oral tongue scc were reviewed in thi...

A broken triangle is a pattern of (in)compatibilities between assignments in a binary CSP (constraint satisfaction problem). In the absence of certain broken triangles, satisfiability-preserving domain reductions are possible via merging of domain values. We investigate the possibility of maximising the number of domain reduction operations by the choice of the order in which they are applied, ...

However, accumulating evidence demonstrates that social pain—the painful feelings following social rejection or loss—may rely on pain-related neural circuitry. Here, I su...
