Serum samples were collected between 24 and 48 h of age
from 408 Hereford calves of a selection experiment and from 200
Angus, Hereford and Red Poll calves of another experimental
population (Germ Plasm Utilization project). Concentrations of
Immunoglobulin G₁ (IgG₁) were determined by single radial
immunodiffusion. Breed or selection...
Thirty-seven Yorkshire sows were bred to one of six boars; 34 of the sows were verified pregnant at 42 d of gestation. These sows were innoculated with ovine serum albumin (OSA) in Freunds' complete adjuvant at 65 d and later given a second injection in Freunds.' incomplete adjuvant 93 d....
In the first experiment the minimum dietary toxic levels of vitamin A were determined in pregnant rabbits over three parities. The treatments consisted of basal diet plus 10,000, 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000 IU/Kg added vitamin A. The basal diet was formulated to be free of vitamin A and beta-carotene; rice...
High Performance Computing can find ubiquitous applications in the industry. HPC-applications are specifically designed to take advantage of the parallel nature of the computing systems which is often enabled by Multi-core/Many-core architectures. With this advent of Multi-processors in the mainstream systems, inter-core communication has been one of the major challenges...
The immobilization of chelators to solid supports has recently gained renewed interest due to the increasing biomedical and environmental applications made possible by these molecules’ ability to bind Fe(III) and other metal ions. The uses of immobilized chelators have expanded to include the treatment of metal overload in serum, the...
Patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis have a high incidence of oxidative stress-related diseases. This study evaluated oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in patients undergoing hemodialysis before and during vitamin E supplementation. Blood samples were obtained before and after dialysis during two separate dialysis sessions to establish baseline measurements....
Novel mucosal vaccines (LL-M2e, LL-HAe, SG-HAe) were constructed from live, non-pathogenic Lactococcus lactis or Streptococcus gordonii that express conserved regions of HA or M2 antigens from avian influenza virus (AIV) A. All three vaccines evoked antigen-specific serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses in vaccinated chickens. The addition of the adjuvant cholera...
