Abstract Type II collagen-positive (Col2+) cells have been reported as skeletal stem cells (SSCs), but the contribution of Col2+ progenitors to skeletal development both prenatally and postnatally during aging remains unclear.To address this question, we generated new mouse models with ablation of Col2+ cells at either the embryonic or postnatal st
Rumen Degradability of Barley, Oats, Sorghum, Triticale, and Wheat In Situ and the Effect of Pelleting
Feeding cereal grain to cattle is common practice for optimal beef and milk production.High concentrations of starch and other soluble carbohydrates may cause acidosis.Information on the effect of processing on starch and protein degradability in the rumen are scarce.This study was to determine the ruminal degradation patterns of common grains and
From Participatory Culture to Participatory Fatigue: The Problem With the Public
The Web has changed newswork dramatically.After the turn of the Millennium, the Web 2.0 was welcomed as a unique medium of participation, interaction, and democratization.Due to the increased interactivity of many websites, and Recliner the growing prominence of social networking sites such as Facebook that invited the creation and publication of u
On-Chip Dispersion Measurement of the Quadratic Electro-Optic Effect in Nonlinear Optical Polymers Using a Photonic Integrated Circuit Technology
A novel method to determine the dispersion of the quadratic electro-optic effect in nonlinear optical materials by using a silicon-on-insulator microring resonator is presented.The microring consists of a silicon slot waveguide enabling large dc electric field strength at low applied voltages.The Sprays and Aeresol dispersion of third-order hyperpo
