Phenotypic correlations of fatty acid composition among intramuscular, subcutaneous and intermuscular fat tissues in concentrate-fed beef cattle of differing genotypes
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2009-03)
[EN]In an attempt to predict intramuscular fatty acid composition using easily accessible fat depots, between-tissue correlations were studied in 75 Asturiana de los Valles bulls with different levels of muscular hypertrophy, ...
Stability Results of a Class of Hybrid Systems under Switched Continuous-Time and Discrete-Time Control
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
This paper investigates the stability properties of a class of switched systems possessing several linear time-invariant parameterizations (or configurations) which are governed by a switching law. It is assumed that the ...
Stability and Convergence Results Based on Fixed Point Theory for a Generalized Viscosity Iterative Scheme
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
A generalization of Halpern's iteration is investigated on a compact convex subset of a smooth Banach space. The modified iteration process consists of a combination of a viscosity term, an external sequence, and a continuous ...
On the Characterization of Hankel and Toeplitz Operators Describing Switched Linear Dynamic Systems with Point Delays
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
This paper investigates the causality properties of a class of linear time-delay systems under constant point delays which possess a finite set of distinct linear time-invariant parameterizations (or configurations) which, ...
Design of a Sensor Based on Plastic Optical Fibre (POF) to Measure Fluid Flow and Turbidity
(MDPI, 2009-05)
Although many optical fibre applications are based on their capacity to transmit optical signals with low losses, it can also be desirable for the optical fibre to be strongly affected by a certain physical parameter in ...
Hospitalization rates for human metapneumovirus infection among 0- to 3-year-olds in Gipuzkoa (Basque Country), Spain
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-01)
Numerous studies have been published on human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infection, but few have been population based. The main aim of this study was to estimate the incidence rate of hospitalization for community-acquired ...
Differential Micro RNA Expression in PBMC from Multiple Sclerosis Patients
(Public Library of Science, 2009-07-20)
Differences in gene expression patterns have been documented not only in Multiple Sclerosis patients versus healthy controls but also in the relapse of the disease. Recently a new gene expression modulator has been identified: ...
Weak effect of trans-10, cis-12-conjugated linoleic acid on body fat accumulation in adult hamsters
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-12-14)
It has been proposed that young animals and subjects are more responsive to conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) than the adults. Nevertheless, there is very little information concerning the effectiveness of CLA in adult animals. ...
A Model of Ischemia-Induced Neuroblast Activation in the Adult Subventricular Zone
(Public Library of Science, 2009-04-23)
We have developed a rat brain organotypic culture model, in which tissue slices contain cortex-subventricular zone-striatum regions, to model neuroblast activity in response to in vitro ischemia. Neuroblast activation has ...
The Economics of Gasification: A Market-Based Approach
(MDPI, 2009-09)
This paper deals with the economics of gasification facilities in general and IGCC power plants in particular. Regarding the prospects of these systems, passing the technological test is one thing, passing the economic ...
