A total of 14 animals randomly divided into two groups with seven animals each group were used in the experiment. Digestibility of pastures was determined using two types of markers-alkane (C32-C36) and chromium oxide. Dry matter intake (DMI) was 717.22 g/d based on chromium oxide method in the experiment, while according to alkane method, DMI was 965.93 g/d and 1,051.07 g/d for C32 and C36, respectively. In conclusion, pastures met 74%-81% of crude protein (CP) and 57%-61% of energy requirements of lambs grazing on Yuzuncu Yil University pasture, who are mid-quality and 4-7 month-old with a 275 g/d expected daily gain. It was calculated that when 628-693 g/d of barley is given, both CP and metabolizable energy (ME) requirements of animals can be met.展开更多

The external experiments extracted from the literature which have not been used in the creation of the model are used to test the validity of the model. Not only can the model compare reasonably well with these ex- perimental results such as the increase percentage of final values of bone mineral content (BMC) and bone fracture en- ergy (BFE) among different loading schemes (which proves the validity of the model), but also predict the realtime devel- opment pattern of BMC and BFE, as well as the dynamics of osteoblasts (OBA), osteoclasts (OCA), nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) for each loading scheme, which can hardly be monitored through experiment. In conclusion, the model is the first of its kind that is able to provide an in- sight into the quantitative mechanism of bone remodeling at cellular level by which bone cells are activated by mechan- ical stimulus in order to start resorption/formation of bone mass. More importantly, this model has laid a solid foun- dation based on which future work such as systemic control theory analysis of bone remodeling under mechanical stimu- lus can be investigated. The to-be identified control mecha- nism will help to develop effective drugs and combined non- pharmacological therapies to combat bone loss pathologies. Also this deeper understanding of how mechanical forces quantitatively interact with skeletal tissue is essential for the generation of bone tissue for tissue replacement purposes in tissue engineering.展开更多

The compositions and morphologies of the alloys were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and the microwave absorbing properties were studied by a vector network analyzer. The results showed that the alloy of Y2Co17 had better absorbing properties at low frequencies and its lowest reflectivity value was –9.5 d B at 3.8 GHz. The lowest reflectivity value of Ho2Co17 alloy was –13.7 d B at 7.02 GHz and it obtained large absorbing bandwidth. Reflectivity value less than –5 d B was from 5.1 to 10.2 GHz. When x=6 and x=8, the alloys of Ho x Co100–x consisted of Ho2Co17 phase and Co phase. They had good radar absorbing properties. With increase in Ho content, the minimum reflectivity value worsened and the absorbing peak frequency shifted toward higher frequencies. But when x=12, the absorbing peak frequency shifted toward lower frequencies but the minimum reflectivity value worsened.展开更多
