A field study was conducted to assess the impact of a contract breeding program that was offered by a breeding co-operative and featured tail chalking and daily evaluation of cows for insemination by co-operative technicians; dairy employees no longer handled estrous detection and insemination activities. From early 2002 until mid-2004, herd-level test day summary records related to production and reproduction were obtained for 32 herds identified as well-managed client herds of the breeding co-operative. Using analyses that controlled for other predictors and random herd-level effects, average days to first service were less by 13 days (P=0.0037) and estrous detection rate was greater by 12% (P=0.0011) for program than for non-program herds. Although first service conception rate was slightly less and the program herds used 0.34 more services per conception (P=0.1488) than non-program herds, the program herds averaged 16 fewer days before pregnancy (P=0.028). Test day summary information and representative estimates of feed, milk, and semen prices were used in a spreadsheet-based model to estimate a partial budget annuity value for an average cow in each herd on each test day. Value of an average cow from a contract herd did not significantly differ from a non-contract herd, even though the analyses suggested an economic benefit for the program herds; the modeling did not, however, account for costs of the program implementation. Additional analyses did not find any significant associations between technician and on days to first service, first service conception rate, estrous detection rate, services per conception, or days open. 相似文献

Background
Alignment of RNA secondary structures is important in studying functional RNA motifs. In recent years, much progress has been made in RNA motif finding and structure alignment. However, existing tools either require a large number of prealigned structures or suffer from high time complexities. This makes it difficult for the tools to process RNAs whose prealigned structures are unavailable or process very large RNA structure databases. 相似文献43.

A fast and reliable gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) method for the identification and determination of the loop diuretic torasemide in human urine is described. The usefulness of different derivatization procedures and reagents was studied. Flash methylation using trimethylanilinium hydroxide was the most convenient and appropriate procedure. The optimal urine isolation method comprised alkaline liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. After evaporation of the organic layer to dryness, the solid residue was reconstituted in the derivatizing reagent and was directly injected into the GC-MS system. Samples were analysed in the multiple ion detection mode using electron impact ionization. No interferences from other urinary compounds were found. Torasemide gave rise to a derivative that was identified by GC with Fourier transform infrared detection. There was a 70±5% recovery of torasemide. The coefficient of variation was 5% at a concentration of 0.05 μg/ml. The method was used for the determination of torasemide in urine samples obtained from a healthy volunteer that had received a single, 10 mg dose of torasemide. 相似文献

Olfactory memory: the long and short of it 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
It has been proposed that memory for odors does not have a short-term (or
working) memory system. The distinction between short- and long- term
memory in other sensory modalities has been generally supported by three
main lines of evidence: capacity differences between the proposed systems,
evidence of differential coding, and differential memory losses in
neuropsychological patients. The present paper examines these issues in an
effort to establish a similar distinction for the memory of olfactory
stimuli. Each of these lines of evidence is examined in relation to the
literature on olfactory memory. Based on this examination, it seems that
there is at least preliminary support from each of these lines of evidence
to advocate a distinction between a long- and short-term memory for
olfactory stimuli. Emphasis is placed upon the qualitative similarity of
olfactory memory to other memory systems. This similarity is further
highlighted through an examination of the literature pertinent to serial
position effects in memory for olfactory stimuli.
