1985
Chaudhary, Z. I., Price, M. A., Makarechian, M.
The effects of zeranol were studied in 24 steers and 24 bulls starting at an average weight of 200 kg for a trial period of 183 days. Bulls grew faster than steers (P = 0.07) and zeranol-treated cattle showed higher average daily gain than controls (P < 0.05); there was no significant interaction...

Price, M. A., Butson, S., Chaudhary, Z. I., Makarechian, M.
Thirty-two cull cows aged from 1 to 13 yr were allocated to five age groups and fed individually for 82 days, then slaughtered. Half of the cows within each group were implanted with 36 mg of zeranol. Zeranol had no significant effect on average daily gain, feed efficiency or backfat thickness,...

Efficacy and safety of exogenous melatonin for secondary sleep disorders and sleep disorders accompanying sleep restriction: meta-analysis.
Download2006
Vandermeer, B., Hartling, L., Buscemi, N.., Baker, G., Klassen, T. P., Vohra, S., Pandya, R., Tjosvold, L., Hooton, N.
Objective To conduct a systematic review of the efficacy and safety of exogenous melatonin in managing secondary sleep disorders and sleep disorders accompanying sleep restriction, such as jet lag and shiftwork disorder. Data sources 13 electronic databases and reference lists of relevant...

Efficient photoinduced charge transfer in chemically-linked organic-metal Ag-P3HT nanocomposites

Feng, Lin, Chen, Ming, Zheng, Fei, Niu, Meng-Si, Zhang, Xuehua, Hao, Xiao-Tao
A novel nanocomposite of P3HT and Ag nanoparticles (Ag-P3HT) has been synthesized by laser ablation. The fluorescence wavelength of the nanocomposite can be tuned by varying the ablation duration. The steady-state emission maximum at 580 nm for pristine P3HT shows significant blueshift to...

Egg-derived tri-peptide IRW exerts antihypertensive effects in spontaneously hypertensive rats
Download2013
Majumder, Kaustav, Kaufman, Susan, Chakrabarti, Subhadeep, Morton, Jude S., Panahi, Sareh, Wu, Jianping, Davidge, Sandra T.
Background There is a growing interest in using functional food components as therapy for cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. We have previously characterized a tri-peptide IRW (Ile-Arg-Trp) from egg white protein ovotransferrin; this peptide showed anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and...

Electrical conduction of reduced graphene oxide coated meta-aramid textile and its evolution under aging conditions
Download2019-08-21
Cho, Chungyeon, Elias, Anastasia L., Batcheller, Jane, Dolez, Patricia, Chung, Hyun-Joong
High-performance textiles – such as those used in protective clothing – age silently, undergoing a gradual reduction in their protective properties. We propose that an electrically conducting layer that loses its conductivity systematically under aging conditions can be used as an...

Serpe, Michael J., Xu, Wenwen, Gao, Yongfeng
In this submission, pH responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)–based microgels were used to fabricate optical devices (etalons). We demonstrate that the optical properties of the etalons could be manipulated upon the application of an appropriate electric potential between the etalon and a counter...

Electrodynamics of magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling and feedback on magnetospheric field line resonances
Download2007
Marchand, Richard, Lu, J. Y., Rankin, Robert, Solomon, Stanley C., Wang, Wenbin, Lei, J., Rae, I. Johnathan
We present a new dynamic model that describes coupling between standing inertial or ion-acoustic-gyroradius-scale shear Alfven waves, compressional modes, and auroral density disturbances. The model is applied to the excitation of field line resonances (FLRs) in dipolar and stretched geomagnetic...

Electrolyte Structure of Lithium Polysulfides with Anti‐Reductive Solvent Shells for Practical Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Zhang, Xueqiang, Jin, Qi, Nan, Yiling, Hou, Lipeng, Li, Boquan, Chen, Xiang, Jin, Zhehui, Zhang, Xitian, Huang, Jiaqi, Zhang, Qiang
The lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery is regarded as a promising secondary battery. However, constant parasitic reactions between the Li anode and soluble polysulfide (PS) intermediates significantly deteriorate the working Li anode. The rational design to inhibit the parasitic reactions is plagued...
