Effects of Large Saddle Panels on the Biomechanics of the Equine Back During Rising Trot: Preliminary Results     

《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》2017

The saddle panels, directly in contact with the horse's back, are likely an important element to optimize the fitting of the saddle, the comfort of the horse, and subsequently, the pain management in dorsalgic horses. The aim of this study was to better understand the effect of the saddle panels on the horse's back, by evaluating a prototype saddle (comfort panels: CP) compared to a standard saddle (STD). The horse's back movements were measured using inertial measurement units (IMUs) fixed at the levels of thoracic vertebrae T6, T12, T16 (under the saddle) and lumbar vertebrae L2 and L5. The centers of mass (COMs) of the horse and the rider and limb's protraction-retraction angles, pressure between saddle and horse's back, and force on the stirrups were measured using respectively 2D motion capture, pressure mat and force sensors in the stirrup leather. Three horses were trotted at the rising trot (sitting: left diagonal-rider seated; standing: right diagonal-rider standing) by the same rider. To compare saddles, linear mixed-effects regression models were used. The estimated means (SE) were calculated. During sitting phase, pressure in the cranial and middle areas of the saddle significantly increased for CP compared to STD (+0.9 (0.2) kPa and +1.0 (0.1) kPa, respectively) whereas caudal pressure decreased (−1.8 (0.4) kPa). Concurrently, the range of motion of angles T12-T16 and T16-L2 under the saddle significantly increased (+1.8 (0.2)° and +2.3 (0.3)°, respectively). The results showed that modifications of the panels' shape not only affect the pressure distribution but also the kinematics of the thoracic and lumbar regions of the equine back.  相似文献   

加入WTO对反腐败斗争的影响及对策思考     

胡效英 《安徽农业大学学报》2004,(1):10-14

加入世贸组织总体上对我国的反腐败斗争是有利的。但由于西方国家对我国进行外部渗透和影响的机会增多;我国经济、政治等体制改革的不彻底;入世初期的接轨工作难以到位;高智化、国际化、团伙化的犯罪特点;新一轮资产重组等原因，存在着腐败滋生蔓延的必然条件，新的腐败犯罪的高发期还可能出现。为此，我们要坚持依法治国，加强法律、法规建设，加快政治体制改革，强化办案职能，严肃查处各种腐败犯罪，加大对国有资产监管的力度，依法治权，依法行政，完善党内各项运行机制，从源头上预防和治理腐败;加强思想教育，提高党员干部素质，增强拒腐防变的能力，自觉抑制腐败;密切国际间的相互协调与合作，共同打击腐败。  相似文献

用受评者的得分给评委们评分     

陶为群 《安徽农业大学学报》2003,(5):78-80,90

由评委评分确定受评者的成绩，是一种普遍方式，但其中各个评委的作用识别问题却被忽视，因而无法确切地评价所选择的评委是否都很称职。本文提出根据受评者得分的总体结果，建立识别各评委作用的反馈控制，以提高选择评委的质量。因此构造了识别各评 委作用的二次规划数学模型，既适用于简单计算平均分作为受评者得分的评分模式，又适用于剔除高低分后再计算得分的评分模式，在普遍情形下得出唯一的求解结果。并且针对模型的特殊数据结构，给出了用最小二乘法求解的显式简便计算式，可以方便求解。进而使用这一方法，作了两个具体实例分析。  相似文献   

生物素对肉仔鸡脾脏细胞PCNA基因的mRNA表达的影响   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4

采用分子生物学方法研究了生物素对脾脏细胞增殖细胞核抗原（PCNA）基因的mRNA表达的影响。将60只1日龄AA雄性肉仔鸡随机分成3个处理，每个处理20只鸡，基础日粮为小麦-酪蛋白-鱼粉型日粮，在基础日粮中分别添加0．30mg／kg和2．7mg／kg2个水平的生物素，包括对照组共计3种日粮处理，为了刺激PCNA基因表达产物mRNA的表达，在48日龄采用皮下注射方式定量接种禽流感疫苗。结果表明：添加生物素显著提高了脾脏细胞PCNA基因表达产物mRNA的表达量（P〈0．01），其中2．7mg／kg处理组极显著高于对照组和0．3mg／kg处理组（P〈O．01），0．3mg／kg处理组和对照组之间无显著性差异（P〉0．05），由此推断，生物素通过促进脾脏细胞PCNA基因的mRNA表达，进而促进脾脏细胞的增殖。  相似文献

Age-related resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato is associated with the transition to flowering in Arabidopsis and is effective against Peronospora parasitica     

C. Rusterucci  Z. Zhao  K. Haines  D. Mellersh  M. Neumann  R.K. Cameron   《Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology》2005,66(6):120

As plants mature it has been observed that some become more resistant to normally virulent pathogens. The ability to manifest the Age-Related Resistance (ARR) response in Arabidopsis to Pseudomonas syringae pathovars tomato (Pst) coincided with the transition to flowering in plants both delayed and accelerated in the transition to flowering. ARR was also associated with a change in PR-1 gene expression, such that young plants expressed PR-1 abundantly at 3 days post inoculation (dpi) while mature plants expressed much less. The Arabidopsis ARR response requires SA accumulation via isochorismate synthase (ICS1) [24]. ICS1 was expressed one dpi with virulent and avirulent Pst in both young and mature plants. The ARR response was also effective versus avirulent Pst providing an additional 4-fold limitation in bacterial growth. Arabidopsis ARR was found to be ineffective against two necrotrophs, Erwinia carotovora subspecies carotovora (bacterium) and Botrytis cinerea (fungus) and one obligate biotroph, Erysiphe cichoracearum (fungus). However, mature wild type, SA-deficient sid2 and NahG plants supported little growth of the obligate biotrophic oomycete, Peronospora parasitica. Therefore ARR to P. parasitica appears to be SA-independent, however the level of ARR resistance was somewhat reduced in these mutants in some experiments. Thus, there may be numerous defence pathways that contribute to adult plant resistance in Arabidopsis.  相似文献   

摄入不同能量的围产期乳牛肝低密度脂蛋白受体mRNA丰度的比较   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

王雪莹孙玉成  李红梅王哲 杨连玉 《中国兽医科技》2005,35(10):811-815

将30头健康、经产、处于围产期的黑白花乳牛随机分为3组，每组10头。从产前28d开始，低能量组乳牛饲喂《中国奶牛饲养标准（2000）》减少20％日粮（能量摄入80％），对照组乳牛饲喂《标准》日粮（能量摄入100％），高能量组乳牛饲喂《标准》增加20％日粮（能量摄入120％），产后各组乳牛均饲喂标准日粮。至产后第56d结束试验；采用内对照RT-PCR方法检测摄入不同能量的围产期乳牛肝活体组织低密度脂蛋白受体（LDLR）mRNA丰度。结果，不同能量组乳牛肝LDLR mRNA丰度产前至产后均呈现先升高后降低的趋势。100％和120％能量组肝LDLR mRNA丰度在产后14d达最大值，且产后均高于产前（产后56d除外，P〈0．01或P〈0．05）；而80％能量组产后1d即达到最大值，产前14d至产后14d，LDLR mRNA相对表达量显著高于100％和120％能量组；产后28～56d，120％能量组显著高于80％和100％能量组（P〈0．01）。表明围产期乳牛能量摄入水平对肝LDLR mRNA丰度有显著影响。  相似文献

Volatile profile,fatty acids composition and total phenolics content of brewers' spent grain by-product with potential use in the development of new functional foods     

《Journal of Cereal Science》2015

Brewers' spent grain (BSG) is the insoluble residue generated from the production of wort in the brewing industry. This plant-derived by-product is known to contain significant amounts of valuable components, which remain unexploited in the brewing processes. Therefore, it is essential to develop a more detailed characterization of BSG in order to highlight its potential in developing new value-added products and simultaneously solve the environmental problems related to its discharge. The content of BSG in several biologically active compounds (fatty acids, polyphenols, flavonoids, antioxidant capacity) as well as its volatile fingerprint were assessed and compared with the composition of barley, malt and wheat flour samples. The obtained results emphasized the importance and the opportunities of the re-use of this agro-industrial by-product.  相似文献
