Effect of the Texel muscling QTL (TM-QTL) on spine characteristics in purebred Texel lambs
Previous work showed that the Texel muscling QTL (TM-QTL) results in pronounced hypertrophy in the loin muscle, with the largest phenotypic effects observed in lambs inheriting a single copy of the allele from the sire. As the loin runs parallel to the spinal vertebrae, and the development of muscle and bone are closely linked, the primary aim of this ...

Downward particle fluxes of biogenic matter and Saharan dust across the equatorial North Atlantic [PDF]
Massive amounts of Saharan dust are blown from the coast of northern Africa across the Atlantic Ocean towards the Americas each year. This dust has, depending on its chemistry, direct and indirect effects on global climate which include reflection and ...

Feedback on long-term integrity of Multi-linear drainage geocomposites installed on landfill final covers after 10 and 12 years of operation [PDF]
The use of drainage geocomposites in landfill final covers facilitates surface water drainage, contributing to long-term stability. However, validating their durability beyond accelerated laboratory aging tests remains a challenge. The most direct method

Spina bifida, diplomyelia and multiple malformations in a Texel lamb [PDF]
ABSTRACT: This report described the clinical and pathological aspects of open spina bifida and diplomyelia along with multiple congenital malformations in a Texel lamb. Clinically, paresis of the thoracic limbs, paralysis of the pelvic limbs and a cutaneous opening in the lumbosacral region were observed.
