Direct Metal Deposition of Graphene–Ti28Nb35.4Zr Matrix Composites With Enhanced Mechanical, Corrosion, and Biocompatibility Properties for Bone Implants

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Graphene nanoplatelet (0.1 wt.%) reinforcement significantly enhances the performance of β Ti‐28Nb‐35.4Zr alloy. Grain refinement, reduced water contact angle, and improved surface characteristics promote osteoblast adhesion and complete surface coverage after 7 days.

Identification of a metabolomic signature associated with feed efficiency in beef cattle

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2019
Background Ruminants play a great role in sustainable livestock since they transform pastures, silage, and crop residues into high-quality human food (i.e. milk and beef).

Studies on restricted suckling in dual purpose and dairy breed cattle in Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of rearing calves by restricted suckling (RS) compared to artificial rearing (AR) in dual purpose and dairy breed cattle in Mexico, milked once or three times a day, respectively.

Genetic relationships between behavioral traits and feed efficiency traits in lactating Holstein cows

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science
: The evaluation of dairy cow feed efficiency using residual feed intake accounts for known energy sinks. However, behavioral traits may also contribute to the variation in feed efficiency. Our objective was to estimate the heritability and repeatability

Residual feed intake and its effect on carcass and meat characteristics of feedlot Zebu cattle. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
the objective of this study was to evaluate the residual feed intake (RFI) and its relation with performance, carcass and meat characteristics of Zebu animals. A total of 40 Zebu steers with initial age of 18 months and initial live weight of 350 kg were

Analysis of Body Weight and Feed Intake Curves in Selection Lines for Residual Feed Intake in Pigs

open access: yes, 2009
A selection experiment for reducing residual feed intake (RFI= feed consumed over and above expected requirements for production and maintenance) in Yorkshire pigs consists of a line selected for lower RFI (LRFI) and a random control line (CTRL). Using 64 LRFI and 87 CTRL boars from generation 5 of the selection experiment, cubic polynomial random ...

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Comparative analysis of the hypothalamus transcriptome of laying ducks with different residual feeding intake

open access: yesPoultry Science
: Feed costs account for approximately 60 to 70% of the cost of poultry farming, and feed utilization is closely related to the profitability of the poultry industry.

MnI‐Functionalized Covalent Organic Framework as Efficient Electrocatalyst for CO2 Reduction in a Catholyte‐Free Zero‐Gap Electrolyzer

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates the successful integration of a phenanthroline‐based 2D COF with MnI catalytic sites into a catholyte‐free membrane‐electrode‐assembly cell for CO2 electroreduction. The crystalline COF actively suppresses Mn⁰–Mn⁰ dimerization, achieving a turnover frequency of 617 h⁻¹ at 2.8 V (full‐cell potential), and enabling stable operation.
