Porcine oocytes of embryos

The results showed that penetration and normal fertilization rates in both TCM-199 groups are both higher than that of NCSU-37 group. Moreover, the cleavage and blastocyst rates, and cell numbers of blastocysts which is a criterion for embryo quality were all higher in TCM-199 groups, especially in the group supplemented with pFF. It might be concluded that TCM-199 media supplemented with either pFF or FBS are suitable for effective in vitro maturation of Landrace porcine oocytes collected in Vietnam.

building raised beds. Raised beds have soil a few inches or more higher than the surrounding area, which provides extra rooting depth, and helps the soil drain and warm up in the spring. They’re typically 3 to 4 feet wide, with mulched paths in between, so you walk on the paths and don’t compact the soil in planting areas. Raised bed sides can be made with reused lumber, broken concrete or concrete blocks, recycled plastic lum- ber, or any non-toxic material. (Don’t use treated wood.) You can also make raised beds without sides. Dig a few inches of soil out of...

A one-gram, oven-dried sample of extractive-free bamboo was placed in a 150 mL beaker. Fifteen mL of cold sulfuric acid (72 percent) was added slowly while stirring and mixed well. The reaction proceeded for two hours with frequent stirring in a water bath maintained at 20 o C. When the two hours had expired, the specimen was transferred by washing it with 560 mL of distilled water into a 1,000 mL flask, diluting the concentration of the sulfuric acid to three percent. An allihn condenser was attached to the flask. The apparatus was placed in...

Is this use of television vital for the community information needs? In R8069, the survey included comment on various sources or means of finding information – about important subjects. Table 6 demonstrates that TV is seen as a source of information although lower ranking in importance than face to face communication, and radio. This is not surprising given the relative ratios of television to radio. What is perhaps slightly surprising is that television as a source is used by as many people (if not slightly more) than newspapers. This may reflect literacy rates....

Since the 1980s there has been continual growth in the market for electronic office equipment, particularly personal computers and monitors, but also printers and multi-function devices (MFDs), which are replacing discrete copiers, fax machines and scanners in some office environments. According to 2003 projections by the Department of Energy, annual energy use by personal computers is expected to grow 3% per year, and energy use among other types of office equipment is expected to grow 4.

On 30 June 1908, in Central Siberia of the U.S.S.R., an extraordinary event occurred (Oliver, 1928 ; Crowther, 1931). Eyewitnesses reported a giant fireball moving across the sky followed by an overpowering shockwave. Trees were radially toppled over thousands of square kilometers, seismic and atmospheric disturbances were recorded as far away as England, and the next several nights were sufficiently bright for reading. However, no significant impact crater was formed nor was any extraterrestrial matter found in the immediate area.

A synthesis of the material presented at the convening and the points made during discussion have led to the development of the recommendations for change listed above. Researchers should simultaneously pursue agendas that both inform potential intervention strategies and examine the link between food marketing and obesity. Advocates can examine current policies including the FCC and FTC regulatory environments in order to pursue policy options and advertising regulations for television and digital media. The public’s commitment is needed to accomplish these goals.

The first contribution in this line of thought is what corresponds to the classic school represented by Fayol (1949) and Taylor (1911), who bequeathed a scientific, rational vision of company and management systems.

As of this writing, its market value is over $79 billion, 40 percent higher than the combined value of two large and successful offline retailers, Target and Kohl’s, who have 2800 stores between them. Jeff Bezos conceived of Amazon as a business model with many potential advantages relative to a physical operation. It held out the potential of lower inventory and distribution costs and reduced overhead.

One focus of this monograph is on how human capital interacts with financial capital. Understanding this interaction helps us to create, manage, protect, bequest, and especially, appropriately consume our financial resources over our lifetimes. In particular, we propose ways to optimally manage our stock, bond, and so on, asset allocations with various types of insurance products. Along the way, we provide models that potentially enable individuals to customize their financial decision making to their own special circumstances....

The assessment and management of risks, which is a priority for firms in all three sectors, are handled in ways that reflect both similarities and differences between sectors. In all sectors, policies and procedures exist to ensure that an independent assessment of risks occurs and that controls are in place to limit the amount of risk that can be taken on by individual business areas.

One Agent can provide services to multiple banks provided he (the agent) has a separate service level agreement with each bank. Alternately, banks may organize their agent network using open architecture so that they may entertain other banks’ customers using infrastructure provided by one bank. Agents may not alter/change charges/fees structure provided by the bank in any way.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a worldwide health threat. One-third of the world’s population is currently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis that results in active or latent infection. TB causes nearly 1.8 million deaths annually (Doherty et al., 2009). Because of the increasing mobility of the population, the changing environment, and the biology of bacilli, the prevalence of TB is higher in China. Epidemiological studies indicate that only 5 to 10% of people infected with M. tuberculosis develop active TB (van Crevel et al.

Often, several of these testing techniques are used together to gain more comprehensive assessment of the overall network security posture. For example, penetration testing usually includes network scanning and vulnerability scanning to identify vulnerable hosts and services that may be targeted for later penetration. Some vulnerability scanners incorporate password cracking. None of these tests by themselves will provide a complete picture of the network or its security posture. Table 3.1 at the end of this section summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of each test.

Within the overall transport process, attenuation processes may cause movement of the chemical to differ from that of the bulk flowing groundwater, for example dispersion, sorption and chemical or biological degradation of the chemical. Such attenuation processes potentially act to mitigate the impact of chemicals and are a function of both the specific chemical and geologic domain. Indeed, attenuation may vary significantly between individual chemicals and within different geological settings.

Insemination skills of 37 inseminators participating in AI programmes supported by the government, farmers’ cooperatives and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) were evaluated during 11 December 2001 and 8 May 2002 in 4 batches. Individual inseminators were asked to thaw a straw of frozen semen. The thawing time adopted by the inseminators and the temperature of the water used were recorded. They were then asked to simulate an insemination by depositing gentian violet dye in the genital tracts removed from slaughtered cows.
