Measuring C-reactive protein (CRP) in serum is a useful surrogate marker for assessing disease progression and treatment response in dogs with autoinflammatory diseases.Affected dogs often receive high-dose glucocorticoid treatment, but the effect of such treatment alone on serum CRP concentrations is unknown.We evaluated serum CRP concentrations v
Ingermanland became a destination point for migrants of many nationalities and had an inner circulation of speculums-and-spreaders the domestic population in the 19th century.Migratory routes, as well as the outflow and inflow volumes in the region differed for each ethnic group.A micro-historical approach enables one to assess the various reasons
Cytotoxic immune cells are endowed with a high degree of heterogeneity in their lytic function, but how this heterogeneity is generated is still an open question.We therefore investigated if human CD8+ T cells could segregate their lytic components during telophase, using imaging flow cytometry, confocal Cheese Knife microscopy, and live-cell imagi
In this paper, an off-policy game Q-learning algorithm is proposed for solving linear discrete-time non-zero sum multi-player game problems.Unlike the existing Q-learning methods for solving the Riccati equation Cissus by on-policy learning approaches for multi-player games, an off-policy game Q-learning method is developed for achieving the Nash e
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) and betaine on growth performance, meat quality and metabolism of ducks.A total of 384-one-day-old Cherry Valley meat ducks (55.75 ± 0.55 g) were randomly assigned to four treatments with 6 replicates of 16 ducks.Ducks were ACCESSORIES fed a basal diet (control
