An experiment was carried out to evaluate how interactions between forage to concentrate ratio and dietary crude protein level may alter nitrogen efficiency and UT-B expression in growing Baluchi male lambs. Four Baluchi male lambs [30 ± 2 kg BW] were used in a 4 × 4 latin square design with 28-d periods and a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of dietary treatments. The treatments fed forage: concent...

the freeze-drying process. Continued viability of rehydrated cells during incubation at 37 C for 3 hours was dependent on the composition of the suspending medium. The number of viable organisms decreased greatly when suspended and incubated in water. Several salts were effective in maintaining higher viable cell counts. Maximum recovery of viable cells of one dried preparation rehydrated in ma...

The effect of concentrate mixtures with crude protein (CP) levels 10%, 13%, 16%, and 19% and diets with roughage to concentrate ratios 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, and 20:80 (w/w) were determined on dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) digestibility, and fermentation metabolites using an in vitro fermentation technique. In vitro fermented attributes were measured after 4, 24, and 48 h of incubation ...

This paper addresses the physical layer design of flexible optical networks [1–8] and its interplay with the routing layer. In such circuit-switched dispersion uncompensated (DU) fiber-optic networks, wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) dual polarization (DP) optical digital signals are transmitted and coherently detected. Each fiber carries at most W wavelengths with possibly mixed modulatio...

This thesis consists of studies concerning the effects of dry period energy feeding, and early lactation energy and protein feeding on the metabolic and hormonal status, tissue mobilisation and lactation performance in dairy cows. In all studies, restricted amounts of grass silage were fed during the dry period, and lead feeding with concentrate was applied during the last three weeks of pregna...

Grant-Free (GF) access has been recognized as a promising candidate for Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications (URLLC). However, even with GF access, URLLC still may not effectively gain high reliability millimeter-level latency, simultaneously. This is because the network load typically time-varying known to base station (BS), thus, resource allocated cannot well adapt variations of loa...
