Effects of dry or wet conditions during the preweaning phase on subsequent feedlot performance and carcass composition of beef cattle
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
Our objective was to determine the effects of dry and wet conditions during the preweaning on subsequent feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of beef cattle. Steers (n = 7,432) and heifers (n = 2,361) finished ...
Outcome and complications in goats treated by perineal urethrostomy for obstructive urolithiasis: 25 cases (2010-2017)
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2019)
Background: Obstructive urolithiasis commonly affects male goats. Perineal urethrostomy (PU) can be a permanent treatment option but is generally considered undesirable because of the risk of stricture of the urethral ...
Conformal symmetry, accelerated observers, and nonlocality
(MDPI AG, 2019)
The acceleration transformations form a 4-parameter Abelian subgroup of the conformal group of Minkowski spacetime. The passive interpretation of acceleration transformations leads to a congruence of uniformly accelerated ...
Herbaceous encroachment from mountain birch forests to alpine tundra plant communities through above- and belowground competition
(MDPI AG, 2019)
Alpine plant communities are highly sensitive to global warming. One of the consequences of the warming is encroachment by herbaceous plants from forests at low elevations into alpine ecosystems. In the Changbai Mountains, ...
Beta 3 adrenergic receptor activation rescues metabolic dysfunction in female estrogen receptor alpha-null mice
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)
Metabolic disease risk escalates following menopause. The mechanism is not fully known, but likely involves reduced signaling through estrogen receptor alpha (ER[alpha]), which is highly expressed in brown and white adipose ...
Clinical features of canine pulmonary veno-occlusive disease and pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2019)
Background: Histologic features of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) and pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH) have been described in dogs but without a thorough clinical description. Objectives: To report the ...
Resistance to coronavirus infection in amino peptidase N-deficient pigs
(Springer International Publishing, 2019)
The alphacoronaviruses, transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) are sources of high morbidity and mortality in neonatal pigs, a consequence of dehydration caused by the infection ...
A critical sociocultural perspective on academic literacies in Latin America
(Universidad de Antioquia, 2019)
In this editorial, the author reflects on the state of research on academic literacies in Latin American higher education. To this end, the author presents a description of the context of higher education in Latin America ...
Understanding the asymmetrical thermoelectric performance for discovering promising thermoelectric materials
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019)
Thermoelectric modules, consisting of multiple pairs of n- and p-type legs, enable converting heat into electricity and vice versa. However, the thermoelectric performance is often asymmetrical, in that one type outperforms ...
Transforming lignin into porous graphene via direct laser writing for solid-state supercapacitors
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019)
Cost-effective valorization of lignin into carbon-based electrode materials remains a challenge. Here we reported a facile and ultrafast laser writing technique to convert lignin into porous graphene as active electrode ...
Complete genome sequence of desulfovibrio desulfuricans IC1, a sulfonate-respiring anaerobe
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019)
We report the complete genome sequence of the anaerobic, sulfonaterespiring, sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans IC1. The genome was assembled into a single 3.25-Mb circular chromosome with 2,680 ...
Studying gap junctions with PARIS : a new genetically encoded system manipulates the ph inside cells to detect whether they are coupled to each other

Concurrent and long-term associations between the endometrial microbiota and endometrial transcriptome in postpartum dairy cows
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
Background: Fertility in dairy cows depends on ovarian cyclicity and on uterine involution. Ovarian cyclicity and uterine involution are delayed when there is uterine dysbiosis (overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria). Fertility ...
GmBZL3 acts as a major BR signaling regulator through crosstalk with multiple pathways in Glycine max
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
Background: Brassinosteroids (BRs) play a crucial role in plant vegetative growth and reproductive development. The transcription factors BZR1 and BES1/BZR2 are well characterized as downstream regulators of the BR signaling ...
Kidney and cystic volume imaging for disease presentation and progression in the cat autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease large animal model
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
Background: Approximately 30 percent of Persian cats have a c.10063C > A variant in polycystin 1 (PKD1) homolog causing autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The variant is lethal in utero when in the ...
Mechanical dilation, botulinum toxin A injection, and surgical myotomy with fundoplication for treatment of lower esophageal sphincter achalasia-like syndrome in dogs
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2019)
Background: Megaesophagus (ME) carries a poor long-term prognosis in dogs. In people, lower esophageal sphincter (LES) achalasia is a rare cause of ME that may respond to targeted intervention. Dogs with lower esophageal ...
Maximizing expected coverage of flow and opportunity for diversion in networked systems
(Springer New York LLC, 2019)
Placement of facilities, such as those providing surveillance or assistance functions, is essential for effective and efficient system operation. Planning for where to provide these types of services in a network necessitates ...
Shift from primary pneumonic to secondary septicemic plague by decreasing the volume of intranasal challenge with Yersinia pestis in the murine model
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of pneumonic plague, a disease involving uncontrolled bacterial growth and host immunopathology. Secondary septicemic plague commonly occurs as a consequence of the host inflammatory ...
