Given the escalating environmental temperature and a considerable progress in meat production capacity, broiler chickens are more sensitive to heat stress than before.The detrimental influences of heat stress include diminished feed intake and reduced average daily gain, low feed efficiency, impaired immune response, deterioration of meat quality,
Comparing Credibility: A Website versus Publicity
Websites and publicity in mass media are two commonly used marketing elements.However, it is unclear whether exposure to a website or publicity is most effective at influencing behavior.This research compares the effectiveness of a magazine publicity article and a tourism destination website on the choice of a spring break destination.Based on this
Long noncoding RNAs promote transcriptional poising of inducible genes.
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of molecules that impinge on the expression of protein-coding genes.Previous studies have suggested that the GAL cluster-associated lncRNAs of Saccharomyces cerevisiae repress expression of the protein-coding GAL genes.Herein, we demonstrate a previously unrecognized role for the GAL lncRNAs in activating g
Chinampas: An Urban Farming Model of the Aztecs and a Potential Solution for Modern Megalopolis
Urban horticulture is not as new as many people think.Throughout history, different techniques have been used to ensure sustainable urban agricultural production.A good example of this is the chinampa system, which was developed during the time of the Aztecs in the region of Lake Xochimilco, south of Mexico City.A chinampa is a raised field on a sm
Candida tropicalis endocarditis successfully treated with AngioVac and micafungin followed by long-term isavuconazole suppression
We provide a review of current literature of native valve Puck Candida tropicalis endocarditis.A 41-year old man presented with C.tropicalis candidemia complicated by superior vena cava mass and right main pulmonary artery thrombus.The patient achieved clinical and microbiologic cure with AngioVac of the mass and echinocandin for six weeks.Long-ter
