Metastatic cancer cells for many cancers are known to have altered cytoskeletal properties, in particular be more deformable and contractile. Consequently, shape characteristics of metastatic may expected diverged from those their parental cells. To examine this hypothesis we study paired osteosarcoma cell lines, each consisting a less line line, derived the former by vivo selection. Two-dimensional images four pairs lines were processed. Statistical analysis morphometric shows that partly...
Pelleted feed increases BW gain and FE in broilers when compared with mash feed. However, the improvement broiler performance may rely on pellet quality. At West Virginia University pilot mill housing facilities, 2 experiments were conducted. In experiment 1, pellets produced through varying pelleting techniques to create 5 diets unique form. These fed male Cobb 500 for evaluation. The expected was not observed, perhaps because nutrient availability of affected by altering technique....
Soaring birds that undertake long-distance migration should develop strategies to minimize the energetic costs of endurance flight. This is relevant because condition upon completion has direct consequences for fecundity, fitness and thus, demography. Therefore, strong evolutionary pressures are expected energy minimization tactics linked weather topography. Importantly, minute-by-minute mechanisms use subsidize in variable largely unknown, large part technological limitations studying...
Large birds regularly use updrafts to subsidize flight. Although most research on soaring bird flight has focused of thermal updrafts, there is evidence suggesting that many species are likely multiple modes subsidy. We tested the degree which a large uses subsidy provide insights into decision-making underlies behaviour. statistically classified more than 22 000 global positioning satellite–global system for mobile communications telemetry points collected at 30-s intervals identify type...
One hundred thirty-seven spring-born yearling beef heifers of British breed types were used to determine the relationships between residual feed intake (RFI) and growth rate, body composition, mature size, fertility. Heifers housed in a dry lot facility during experimental period, data collected over 2-yr period (yr 1, n = 67; yr 2, 70). Individual intake, BW, BCS, hip height, ultrasonic measurements [subcutaneous rib fat (UBF), rump (URF), LM area (LMA), intramuscular (IMF)] composition...
Core Ideas First rigorous integration of VisNIR and LIBS spectroscopic techniques for soil profile C measurement. Field‐moist intact cores scanned with simulating in situ measurements. Combined VisNIR‐LIBS wavelengths selected by MRCE were split nearly equally between sensors, suggesting molecular elemental information was successfully integrated predicting TC, IC, SOC. Stoichiometric relationships emissions are more strongly correlated to IC concentration than carbonate absorptions VisNIR....
Despite advances in transplant medicine, prevalence of complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains high. The impact pre-HSCT oral health factors on the incidence and severity post-HSCT is poorly understood. aim this prospective, observational study was to analyze patients planned for HSCT. Patients ≥18 years requiring HSCT were included from five sites between 2011–2018. General health, findings patient-reported symptoms registered 272 patients. Oral around...
What people eat is a major contributor to health outcomes, including development of metabolic, cardiovascular, and other chronic diseases. Dietary quality varies widely influenced by factors sex, race, geographic location, socioeconomic status, self-perception community standing, occupation. These potentially interact, making an understanding dietary difficult fully disaggregate therefore challenging modify from population perspective. This study sought analyze the interaction between...
Currently three isolated radio pulsars and one binary pulsar with no evidence of any previous recycling are known in 97 surveyed Galactic globular clusters. As pointed out by Lyne et al., the presence these cannot be explained core-collapse supernovae, as is commonly assumed for their counterparts disk. We apply a Bayesian analysis to results from surveys clusters find number potentially observable non-recycled present all < 3600. Accounting beaming retention considerations, implied birth...
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) provides a potential method for rapid, in situ soil C measurement. In previous research on the application of LIBS to intact cores, we hypothesized that ultraviolet (UV) spectrum (200-300 nm) might not provide sufficient elemental information reliably discriminate between organic (SOC) and inorganic (IC). this study, using custom complete (245-925 core-scanning instrument, analyzed 60 cores from six wheat fields. Predictive multi-response partial...
We describe a novel assay for measuring glycohemoglobin directly from anticoagulated whole blood with the Abbott IMx analyzer. The is labeled soluble polyanionic affinity reagent and anionic complex then captured cationic solid-phase matrix. Glycohemoglobin quantified by quenching heme of static fluorescence an added fluorophore. standardized to report both percent total (%GHb) hemoglobin A1c (%HbA1c). Glucose, bilirubin, triglycerides, labile fraction, variants do not interfere in assay....
Sequestering C in agricultural soils presents an immediate viable option to reduce atmospheric CO2 help mitigate global warming. Agricultural land managers who adopt practices that sequester might market the sequestered (i.e., stored) as a credit industrial emitters wish their net emissions. Land or landowners will need verify changes soil organic carbon (SOC) related change management practice facilitate trading. The objective of this study was assess accuracy Century model predictions SOC...
Background COVID-19 has been one of the most serious global health crises in world history. During pandemic, care systems require accurate forecasts for key resources to guide preparation patient surges. Forecasting hospital census is among important planning decisions ensure adequate staffing, number beds, intensive units, and vital equipment. Objective The goal this study was explore potential utility local infection incidence data developing a forecasting model census. Methods comprised...
Color is a commonly measured morphological property determined during field investigations of soils. Consequently, soil color book among the equipment carried by almost every scientist. Our objective was to determine if there significant difference between representations two references: Munsell Soil Charts and GLOBE Book. Using 10 new copies each brand book, hue, value, chroma were for all chips. Standard thresholds contrast (faint, distinct, prominent) used assess differed from reported...
We describe an empirical Bayesian approach to determine the most likely size of astronomical population sources which only a small subset is observed above some limiting flux density threshold. The method naturally applied source populations at common distance (e.g. stellar in globular clusters), and can be even where survey detects no objects. model allows for inclusion physical parameters detection process. As example, we apply this current sample radio pulsars Galactic clusters. Using...
Abstract: The effects of dietary modification with flaxseed oil‐enhanced (Flax) feed on the product quality brook trout fillets were examined. Trout fed a commercial supplemented fish oil (CD) or for 165 d before harvesting. Proximate composition and fatty acid profile determined fillets. Quality parameters raw examined over storage period by measuring color ( L* , *, b *), muscle pH, thiobarbituric reactive substances test. Evaluations cooked included sensory evaluation triangle tests...
Background Emergence of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caught world off guard and unprepared, initiating a global pandemic. In absence evidence, individual communities had to take timely action reduce rate spread avoid overburdening their health care systems. Although few predictive models have been published guide these decisions, most not taken into account spatial differences included assumptions that do match local realities. Access reliable information is adapted context critical...
The COVID-19 pandemic has strained hospital resources and necessitated the need for predictive models to forecast patient care demands in order allow adequate staffing resource allocation. Recently, other studies have looked at associations between Google Trends data number of cases. Expanding on this approach, we propose a vector error correction model (VECM) patients healthcare system (Census) that incorporates search term activity chatbot scores. VECM provided good fit Census very...
Feed ingredient price has influenced nutritionists to improve diet nutrient availability through the use of exogenous enzyme cocktails (EEC). If EEC are be added at mixer before pelleting, then pelleting variables that increase heat and pressure feed may denature components, decreasing efficacy. Three experiments were conducted assess efficacy a commercially available postpelleting. The primary variable manipulated was steam conditioning temperature (71 93°C). However, additional modified in...
