Acute dentate nucleus deep brain stimulation modulates corticomotor excitability in chronic stroke survivors by Xin Li, Kenneth B. Baker, Kyle O'Laughlin, Yin-Liang Lin, Kelsey Baker, Robert Chen, Jacqueline Chen, Andre G. Machado, Ela B. Plow

“…We also characterized the relationship between acute DBS effects on physiology and baseline clinical and neuroimaging measures, and chronic DBS effects on motor function. Results: Acute active DBS led to an increase in ipsilesional corticomotor excitability evident as a 5.2 % maximal stimulator output (MSO) reduction in active motor threshold (p = 0.017, d = 0.28), but there was no effect of acute sham DBS. …”

Effects of a novel synbiotics-enzyme complex as a replacement for antibiotics on growth performance, slaughter and meat characteristics, immune organ index, and intestinal morpholo... by Zihao Zhao, Zihao Zhao, Simushi Liswaniso, Simushi Liswaniso, Ning Qin, Ning Qin, Shengxiao Cao, Shengxiao Cao, Xin Wu, Xin Wu, Chang Ma, Chang Ma, Chunchi Yan, Chunchi Yan, Rifu Xu, Rifu Xu, Xue Sun, Xue Sun

“…Including SEC at 0.1% also significantly (P &lt; 0.05) increased villus height and villus-to-crypt ratio (V/C) but reduced crypt depth in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum compared to the control groups. SEC inclusion at 0.1% significantly (P &lt; 0.05) increased the spleen, bursal, and thymus indexes, respectively.ConclusionSupplementation of broilers with 0.1% SEC can be used as an antibiotic alternative because it increases the F/G, improves the carcass and meat quality, increases the body conformation, improves the small intestines' functions, and immune organ size.…”

Managing the effectiveness of strategic decisions to rationalize the system of maintenance and repair of passenger cars by S. V. Petrov

“…Within the ^-criterion, comprehensive reliability indicators are used — the availability factor and the technical availability coefficient.λ-criterion characterizes the current safety state of trains in terms of passenger facilities on the basis of functional performance of cars safety. A negative indicator was adopted as a similar indicator — the intensity of dangerous railway failures that led to a violation of the safety of train traffic.The given approach was developed in the tradition of the process control methodology according to the ISO system of standards and the IRIS standard of the railway industry. …”

Quality attributes and antioxidant activity of stirred yoghurt fortified with some nano-fruit waste powders by Soad H. Taha, Fouad M. F. Elshaghabee, Mostafa A. Ameen

“…Results revealed that the fortification process significantly (P < 0.05) elevated the total solids, fat, protein and ash contents, especially with apricot and peach kernels (AK and PK), which distinctly increased fat by average values of 3.46 and 3.40%, and protein by 3.70 and 3.68% during storage compared to control (3.12 and 3.57%), respectively. The addition of watermelon rind (WMR) increased the titratable acidity (0.97%) and viscosity (463.59 cP) with a significant reduction of syneresis (16.38%), increased the total viable count of starter culture, acetaldehyde and diacetyl contents (167.10 and 18.82 mg/100 g) in yoghurt, followed by banana peel (BP). …”
