This study evaluated the effect of maternal protein supplementation during mid or late gestation on energy metabolism of the skeletal muscle of beef calves. Sixteen pregnant cows were divided into 3 groups: CTRL (not supplemented); MID (supplemented from 30 to 180 days of gestation); and LATE (supplemented from 181 to 281 days of gestation). The supplement contained 30% crude protein. Thirty days after birth, blood and muscle samples of the calves were collected for analyses of gene expression, proteins, and metabolites. No differences (P ≥ 0.15) in birth weight, performance at weaning, or muscle expression of the genes evaluated (P ≥ 0.21) were observed. Calves born to CTRL cows had a lower ratio (P = 0.03) of p-AMPK/AMPK protein in the skeletal muscle. Calves born to MID cows had lower (P = 0.04) glucose concentration than those born to LATE cows. Changes in p-AMPK/AMPK protein, indicated a possible metabolic inflexibility in the skeletal muscle of calves born to CTRL cows. These results indicated that lack of protein supplementation in pregnant cows alter the energy metabolism of their calves and reflect in a metabolic inflexibility. RESUMO: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da suplementação proteica materna sobre o metabolismo energético do músculo esquelético de bezerros de corte. Dezesseis matrizes gestantes foram divididas em três grupos: CONTROLE (não suplementado); MÉDIO (suplementados entre 30 e 180 dias de gestação); e FINAL (suplementado entre 181 e 281 dias de gestação). O suplemento continha 30% de proteína bruta e foi fornecido em quantidades totais iguais aos tratamentos. Trinta dias após o nascimento, amostras de sangue e músculo dos bezerros foram coletadas para análises de expressão gênica, abundância de proteínas e metabólitos. Não foram observadas diferenças (P ≥ 0,15) no peso ao nascimento ou parâmetros de desempenho ao desmame, bem como na expressão dos genes avaliados (P ≥ 0,21). Os bezerros nascidos de matrizes do tratamento CONTROLE apresentaram menor proporção (P = 0,03) de proteína p-AMPK/AMPK no músculo esquelético. Os bezerros nascidos de matrizes do tratamento MÉDIO apresentaram concentração de glicose menor (P = 0,04) do que aqueles nascidos de matrizes do tratamento FINAL. Os resultados observados indicam que a ausência de suplementação proteica em matrizes gestantes pode alterar o metabolismo energético da progênie e refletir em uma inflexibilidade metabólica, a qual pode ocasionar limitações quanto à eficiência energética do tecido muscular esquelético e consequentemente, limitar o desempenho da progênie ao longo da fase pós-natal.

In the wild, animals face different challenges including multiple events of food scarcity. How they overcome these conditions is essential for survival. Thus, adaptation mechanisms evolved to allow the development and survival of an organism during nutrient restriction periods. Given the high energy demand of the nervous system, the molecular mechanisms of adaptation to malnutrition are of great relevance to fuel the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is the interface between the central nervous system (CNS) and the circulatory system. The BBB mediates the transport of macromolecules in and out of the CNS, and therefore, it can buffer changes in nutrient availability. In this review, we collect the current evidence using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model of the role of the BBB in the adaptation to starvation. We discuss the role of the Drosophila BBB during nutrient deprivation as a potential sensor for circulating nutrients, and transient nutrient storage as a regulator of the CNS neurogenic niche.

Let s , k be non negative integers. A graph G is ( s , k ) -polar if its vertex set admits a partition ( A , B ) such that A induces a complete multipartite graph with at most s parts, and B induces a disjoint union of at most k cliques with no other edges. A notable case is that of ( 1 , 1 ) -polar graphs, which are exactly split graphs. The concepts of ( s , ∞ ) -, ( ∞ , k ) - and ( ∞ , ∞ ) -polar graphs can be analogously defined. A graph is a cograph if it does not contain P 4 as an induced subgraph. Ekim, Mahadev and de Werra first investigated polar cographs, obtaining forbidden induced subgraph characterizations for ( ∞ , ∞ ) -polar cographs, and also for the union of ( 1 , ∞ ) - and ( ∞ , 1 ) -polar cographs. So far, for fixed s and k , complete lists of minimal ( s , k ) -polar cograph obstructions are known only for the pairs ( 1 , 1 ) , ( 1 , 2 ) , ( 2 , 1 ) and ( 2 , 2 ) . In this paper we find the list of cograph minimal ( s , 1 ) -polar obstructions for any fixed positive integer s , as well as the list of cograph minimal ( ∞ , 1 ) -polar obstructions. By considering the complement of such graphs, these results extend to ( 1 , k ) - and ( 1 , ∞ ) -polar cographs.

In this paper, we study the achromatic and the pseudoachromatic numbers of planar and outerplanar graphs as well as planar graphs of girth 4 and graphs embedded on a surface. We give asymptotically tight results and lower bounds for maximal embedded graphs., 19 pages, 11 figures

Treatments to combat cancer seek to reach specific regions to ensure maximum efficiency and reduce the possible adverse effects that occur in the treatment. One of these strategies include the treatment with magnetic nanoparticles (NPM), which has presented promising results, however, aspects involved in the trajectory of the nanoparticles are not yet known. The aim of this work is estimating the behavior of NPM through supervised neural networks, for this, artificial neural networks were implemented, such as multilayer perceptron, with optimization algorithms in which the Levenberg Marquardt algorithm stands out, different trajectories of NPM were simulated, including parameters such as time, position in X and Y, the speed that the nanoparticles can reach and physical factors that interact in the distribution were considered, such as the gravitational field, the magnetic field, the Stokes force, the force of pushing and dragging with different values of viscosity in the blood, generating a database with optimized reaction times that allows a more accurate prediction. The architecture obtained with the artificial neural the network that contains the optimization algorithm [5 4 3 2], presented the best performance with a training MSE of 1.763E-07, a validation uRMSE of 0.0049, and trend probabilities of X 0.62 % and 0.576 % in Y.

A graph is a cograph if it does not contain a 4-vertex path as an induced subgraph. An ( s , k ) -polar partition of a graph G is a partition ( A , B ) of its vertex set such that A induces a complete multipartite graph with at most s parts, and B induces the disjoint union of at most k cliques with no other edges. A graph G is said to be ( s , k ) -polar if it admits an ( s , k ) -polar partition. The concepts of ( s , ∞ ) -, ( ∞ , k ) -, and ( ∞ , ∞ ) -polar graphs can be analogously defined. Ekim, Mahadev and de Werra pioneered in the research on polar cographs, obtaining forbidden induced subgraph characterizations for ( ∞ , ∞ ) -polar cographs, as well as for the union of ( ∞ , 1 ) - and ( 1 , ∞ ) -polar cographs. Recently, a recursive procedure for generating the list of cograph minimal ( s , 1 ) -polar obstructions for any fixed integer s was found, as well as the complete list of ( ∞ , 1 ) -polar obstructions. In addition to these results, complete lists of minimal ( s , k ) -polar cograph obstructions are known only for the pair ( 2 , 2 ) . In this work we are concerned with the problem of characterizing ( ∞ , k ) -polar cographs for a fixed k through a finite family of forbidden induced subgraphs. As our main result, we provide complete lists of forbidden induced subgraphs for the cases k = 2 and k = 3 . Additionally, we provide a partial recursive construction for the general case. By considering graph complements, these results extend to ( s , ∞ ) -polar cographs.

Forest industries produce sawdust waste that is not used and which may accumulate for years, becoming a risk of fire and a potential source of pollution. The main objectives of this study were to compare the energy properties between fresh sawdust and weathered sawdust from Pinus pseudostrobus wood and determine the physical and mechanical properties of briquettes made from both types of sawdust. The sawdust was characterized according to the particle size distribution, moisture content, volatile material, ash, and fixed carbon, in accordance with European standards UNE-EN14774-3 and UNE-EN14775. The briquettes were produced in a laboratory machine (LIPPEL) at pressures of 10-15 MPa and temperatures of 50, 70 and 90 °C. The quality of the briquettes was determined by proximal analysis, and by their physical and mechanical properties. The mean values and standard errors were calculated for all the variables of each type of sawdust, pressure and temperature. Data were statistically analyzed as a randomized complete block, and variance analyses were conducted to determine the existence of statistical differences (p< 0.05) between treatments. When statistical differences were found, Tukey tests were performed. The weathered sawdust showed the best energy properties, as it exhibited the lowest moisture content (9.12 %) and the highest fixed carbon (13.84 %); however, it had the highest percentage of ash (0.84 %). The briquettes with the best quality were obtained by using fresh sawdust at a pressure of 15 MPa and a temperature of 70 °C.

The development of compact models for double-gate (DG) MOSFETs and FinFETs necessary in circuit simulators is an important research field, which allows the efficient practical characterization of these devices, as well as their application in analog circuit design. In this paper we review and assess different approaches for developing core and complete compact models for DG MOSFETs and FinFETs.

For practical applications temperature can play an important role in the performance of a circuit. This paper describes the performance of a Miller Operational Amplifier with FinFET transistors operating in a wide temperature range by circuit simulation. FinFETs were modeled using the Symmetric Doped Double-Gate Model introduced in SmartSPICE circuit simulator calibrated with measured data. Amplifier simulation, performed at 27ºC, 100ºC and 200ºC, reproduced the amplifier behavior and the variation of gain and cutoff frequency.

In this paper, Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTA's) were simulated in SPICE using the Symmetric Doped Double-Gate Model which includes the capacitances of Double-Gate (DG) transistors. In this work, all the transistors have been simulated using just one model for lightly doped transistors (TLD), high doped transistors (THd) N-channel devices and P-channel devices. These OTA's show an improvement in the high open-loop voltage gain which is related mainly to the reduction of the drain output conductance which gives higher Early voltages for DG GC transistors.

This work present a study of the Harmonic distortion analysis in analog circuits using DC analysis, and it is evaluated the use of the Integral Function Method for the analysis in power electronics, since the use of electronic systems with finFET transistors in power systems could give advantages over traditional systems. Harmonic distortion can have detrimental effects on electronic circuits; unwanted distortion can increase the current in power systems. The power quality of distribution systems has a drastic effect on consumption and power regulation, and the power quality of distribution depends on the power electronic sources than can cause distortion in waveforms of the power system.

This thesis was prepared based on an experiment using Nelore and crossbred heifer calves with zebu predominance, pasture fed and supplemented with different protein sources. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of multiple supplementation using protein sources of soybean meal (PBFS), cottonseed meal 38% (PBFA) and a combination of soybean meal with cottonseed meal 38% (PBFS+FA) during the transition period between wet and dry season. Studies observed intake, digestibility of diet components, efficiency of microbial protein synthesis and yield performance for beef heifer calves grazing UrochloaDecumbens. A completely randomized design with four treatments and six repetitions was used. Twenty four calves with ages of 3 months and initial body weight of 113 kg were divided in pastures averaged 4.5 ha in area and average availability of potentially digestible dry matter (MSPD) of 1575.11 kg / ha. The supplements were formulated for 25% of crude protein. Animals in the control treatment received only mineral mixture (MM) ad libitum, the other treatments used supplements at 0.4% body weight (PC). The amount of supplement offered to heifers was adjusted at the beginning of each period according to body weight at the end of the previous period. There was no effect (P> 0.10) of different protein sources on average daily gain (GMD) between animals receiving multiple supplements. No difference was observed in average daily gain on animals supplemented with multiple supplements and supplemented with mineral mixture. The consumption in kg/day of CNF and PB was higher for calves supplemented with multiple supplements than the calves that received only mineral mixture. The apparent digestibility coefficients of total CNF was higher (P 0.10) weight gain of beef heifers calves under conditions of good quality and availability of pastures. The 38% cottonseed meal can replace soybean meal or be used in combination with soybean meal in multiple supplements for beef heifer calves. Esta dissertação foi realizada a partir de um experimento utilizando bezerras Nelores e mestiças com predominância de sangue zebu, lactentes, suplementadas a pasto com diferentes fontes de proteína. Objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos de suplementos múltiplos utilizando como fonte protéica farelo de soja (PBFS), farelo de algodão 38% (PBFA) e combinação de farelo de soja com farelo de algodão 38% (PBFS+FA) durante o período de transição de águas-secas, sobre o consumo, digestibilidade de componentes da dieta, eficiência de síntese de proteína bruta microbiana e desempenho produtivo bezerras de corte lactentes sob pastejo em Urochloa Decumbens. Para tal, foram utilizadas vinte quatro bezerras com idade e peso médio inicial de 3 meses e 113 Kg respectivamente. O delineamento foi inteiramente casualizado com quatro tratamentos e seis repetições; os piquetes utilizados, com uma média de 4,5 ha de área e com disponibilidade média de matéria seca potencialmente digestível (MSpd) de 1575,11 kg/ha. Os suplementos foram formulados para serem isso protéicos com 25% de proteína bruta. Os animais do tratamento controle receberam somente mistura mineral (MM) ad libitum; nos demais tratamentos os suplementos foram fornecidos em 0,4% do peso corporal (PC). A quantidade de suplemento oferecida às bezerras foi ajustada no inicio de cada período de acordo ao peso corporal no final do período anterior. Não verificou-se efeito (P>0,10) das diferentes fontes protéicas sobre o GMD entre os animais que receberam suplementos múltiplos, assim como não foi verificado diferença no GMD entre os suplementados com suplemento múltiplo e suplementados com mistura mineral. Os consumos em kg/dia de CNF e PB foram maiores para as bezerras suplementadas com suplemento múltiplo do que paras as bezerras que receberam apenas mistura mineral. Os coeficientes de digestibilidade aparente total da CNF foram superiores (P0.10) o ganho de peso de bezerras de corte lactentes em condições de boa disponibilidade e qualidade das pastagens. O farelo de algodão 38% pode substituir o farelo de soja ou ser utilizado em associação ao farelo de soja em suplementos múltiplos para bezerras de corte lactentes.

In this paper we present the results of the implementation of a nanoscale double-gate (DG) MOSFET compact model, which includes hydrodynamic transport model, in Verilog-A in order to carry out circuit simulation. The model in Verilog-A is used with the SMASH circuit simulator for the analysis of the DC and transient behavior electrical CMOS circuits. Template devices representative for a downscaled symmetric double-gate MOSFET was used to validate the models for n-channel and p-channel. A CMOS inverter and a ring oscillator have been analyzed. Comparison of its performance between the drift-diffusion (DD) and hydrodynamic transport model within the practical range of bias voltages has been highlighted.

Liquid propellant slosh occurring during orbital maneuvers of a rocket’s upper-stage may adversely affect vehicle performance. During orbital maneuvers the acceleration levels of an upper-stage vary substantially and significant liquid sloshing events may occur which can affect the intended trajectory of the vehicle as well as influence propellant and tank thermal management. Mission planners require accurate and validated simulation tools to understand and predict the effects of slosh on a mission and therefore there is a need to better understand and model liquid slosh in micro-gravity. This work aims to bridge the gap of missing data by designing a Slosh Platform capable of acquiring long-duration low-gravity slosh data on the International Space Station. The slosh data acquired will facilitate calibration and validation of CFD models. The proposed experimental platform consists of a tank partially filled with water, inertial measurement units to measure the dynamics of the system, as well as cameras to image the fluid distribution in the tank. The Slosh Platform utilizes the existing ISS SPHERES apparatus, which will be used to maneuver the tank through a variety of trajectories. To mimic the motions of actual upper-stage rocket maneuvers, a scaling analysis based on relevant nondimensional parameters is performed and applied to the design and operation of the Slosh platform onboard ISS. The proposed motion profiles to be conducted by the Slosh Platform on ISS were verified using a CFD tool to assess the magnitude of fluid slosh and its impact on the attitude change of the platform. The CFD tools predict that the liquid slosh within the tank of the Slosh Platform will cause the trajectory of the apparatus to deviate in a measurable way as compared with a rigid, non-sloshing system. Currently the experimental design has passed NASA’s Critical Design Review and manufacture of the first test article is in progress. The Slosh experiment is scheduled to fly to the ISS in July of 2013 with on-orbit experiments to begin shortly thereafter.

In this paper we present a methodology to use the Symmetric Doped Double-Gate Model implemented in Verilog-A to simulate analog circuits with FinFET Technology. A Miller operational Amplifier was simulated in SPICE simulator and the results were validated comparing them with experimental data published in previous works.

Modeling of the small-signal equivalent circuit of SOI FinFETs through SPICE simulations is presented. A compact model implemented in Verilog-A predicts well the DC characteristics of RF SOI FinFETs and allows the extraction of the intrinsic conductance, transconductance and capacitances at any selected operating point. The intrinsic small-signal equivalent circuit composed of those extracted lumped elements is used in SPICE simulator. This paper compares the parameters extracted from both DC and wideband S-parameter methods.

n its simplest form, the Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) or Unmanned Air System (UAS), is a pilotless plane. It is a small aircraft, with an on-board computer, or, microprocessor, together with control, sensor and communication electronics. There are both remote controlled UAVs and Autonomous UAV which depend on their onboard computer for all flight calculations. The purpose of this project is to construct and fly a student designed UAV within a single semester of work. The UAV will contain a variable payload ranging from onboard-data storage cameras to model missile and laser tag systems depending on mission requirements. The use of a multifunctional payload bay will be key to creating a UAV that can be used by future students or faculty to jump test experiments at low costs. I
