They just should standartize some bytecode/virtual machine and everyone will compile their web-languages to that bytecode.
Phoronix: ECMA Is Working On Standardizing Google's Dart
ECMA International has formed a technical committee to work on a standard specification for the Dart web programming language that's developed by Google as an alternative to JavaScript...
They just should standartize some bytecode/virtual machine and everyone will compile their web-languages to that bytecode.
Why bytecode? Wasn't Java's bytecode standardized? And people don't use it still?
ECMA standardized many things including JavaScript or .Net or Xaml. So I think is natural for them for industry neutrality to have an open standard, so if Google will make tweaks in future will not matter.
Good job Google, a case when I hear good news from you in the last weeks.
Is this even supported by any browsers yet? Chrome?
The last time I looked at the debian alioth benchmarks dart was still slower than js in every case. That's not great since that was touted as A benefit to using dart (much more work has gone into js vms but I'd be willing to wager that the people working on the dart vm have much crossover with the v8 team).
Obviously this says nothing about its suitability as a language for large codebases, or ease of use, but anything has to be better than js when it come to handling scope (which is too damned tricky).
Many people use it. Groovy, Scala, Clojure, and Ceylon all compile to java bytecode. People don't use it for web client side development, and I guess it's about the performance.
Javascript nowadays is an intermediate language for CoffeeScript, Dart, TypeScript, HaXe, Ceylon, and there is a(or more?) python implementation that compiles to js. Interestingly, Java's original goal to build dynamic web pages is almost entirely beaten by js, while most js apps perform better than java applets, yet js runs from source, and java runs from bytecode, and in theory using bytecodes improve performance. Google claims that Dart is faster than js, and if so, wouldn't dart be faster than java too? This means Google can actually produce VMs much better than java that are designed for the web(but probably not as good as java on the desktop or server), and dynamic languages can utilize the VM's typing system and build implementations more easily, while static languages would not need those features, and would still be able to be implemented on that VM(although an untyped VM probably provides a better performance for static languages). Also bytecodes generally provide more flexibility than non-bytecode intermediate languages, and therefore is better as a compilation target. If js had a unified bytecode, maybe CoffeeScript et al might be targeting the bytecode instead of js already.
Yeah, even now that benchmark still shows dart being slower. However the official benchmarks from the dart page shows otherwise. Since it's the official one, it might not be so trustworthy, but at the very least we can still use the language to write apps and compile it to js. Note that tiny dart2js-compiled apps tend to perform worse than handwritten javascript(smaller it is more ridiculous the overhead, i guess), though large dart2js-compiled apps may go faster than handwritten js(and often so, according to their website).

My favourite character is Ichigo Kurosaki because he is just an awesome character, I can kind of identify with him, and I like to watch him grow as the series progresses.
mine has to be renji and cone the reason i like him cause he is he's got a cool sword that can turn into a whiplike sword and cone because he is super funny
Surprisingly little respect for Grimmjow. Come on guys, he met the other Adjuchas, they immediately made him their ruler, begged him to eat them, then he becomes the Sexta Espada (FFS, he has sex in his title!) Not only is he a badass fighter, he has Kenpachi's drive to seek out a good fight, the morals to heal Ichigo to 100% before fighting him, and the kindness to save Orihime from being beaten to death by the two annoying-as-all-hell Arrancar chicks. The choice is clear here people.
hmmmmm my fav is urukiora espada number 4. he look so depressed and that from time to time suit my personality from time to time.
Well mine is Rukia coz i can often relate to her personality .Ever since she slayed that hollow in the first episode she's been my fav ....Her part in the 19th ep was like@-@ when she was like
"we`re taught never to shed tears ,for to shed tears means that the body has been defeated by emotion
and that simple act of crying inevitably shows that the presence of emotion has become a burden"
(psst..The magic lies in the way she says it =)
My favorite one is superhero Ichigo Kurosaki. He is my favorite character.
I have to favorites character

VIVID IMAGINATIONS WACKY WIND UPS These were a fairly late addition to the Vivid line-up, produced after "A Close Shave" had hit town. There were four wind ups to collect, made of plastic and standing around 10cm tall or long. The four creations each revealed a different action/function when they were wound up. And best of all, they didn't need batteries! Wallace in the Wrong Trousers Wind Wallace up and he walks around, in those fiendish green Techno Trousers... Trotting Shaun Wind up Shaun and he trots around, gnawing his bone... Flying Gromit Well all right, he doesn't "fly", but when you wind up Gromit's plane he zooms around your floor...

Difficult dilemmas face social researchers - in the field of social work and social policy, as elsewhere. These can include tensions between the following: doing what a commitment to research requires or serving policymakers; prioritizing basic inquiry or promoting applied research; having a primary concern with producing knowledge versus an immediate and urgent commitment to practical improvement in the world. These dilemmas are probably intrinsic to the position of social research in modern societies, but they are becoming more severe at the present time. It is argued that, in dealing with them, we should be clear about the distinctive character of research, as against other related activities; and must recognize its heterogeneity, identifying the dimensions that differentiate its legitimate forms.

The Effect of Pioglitazone on Neointima Volume and Inflammatory Markers at Eight Months After Zotarolimus-eluting Stent Implantation in Diabetic Patients
- Full Text View
- Tabular View

- How to Read a Study Record
People with diabetes mellitus are more prone to coronary heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease, and diabetes mellitus has been regarded as an independent risk factor for the progression of coronary artery disease. Several studies have been reported that diabetes increased the risk of cardiovascular mortality in both men and women. With the introduction of drug-eluting stents (DESs), the angiographic rates of restenosis at later months have reduced dramatically in several studies. However, even with DESs, diabetic patients showed increased rates of restenosis and late loss index compared with nondiabetic patients. Diabetes has been considered to be a predictor of poor prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents. Long-term clinical and angiographic outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-metal stents (DESs) have been demonstrated to be worse in diabetic patients compared with nondiabetic patients. In the era of DESs, no study has demonstrated the clinical and angiographic outcomes in diabetic patients after zotarolimus-eluting stent implantation by using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
Pioglitazone is used in the treatment of diabetic patients. Thiazolidinediones increase insulin sensitivity and show favorable effect on blood glucose levels and lipid profiles. The effect of pioglitazone on neointima volume and inflammatory markers has not been compared in prospective manner after zotarolimus-eluting stent implantation. The purpose of this prospective, randomized, single blinded trial is to compare the effect of pioglitazone on inflammatory markers and neointima volume by using IVUS in diabetic patients.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Diabetes Mellitus Coronary Artery Stenosis |
Drug: Pioglitazone |
Phase 4 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Single Blind (Subject) Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Phase 4 Study of Pioglitazone on Neointima Volume and Inflammatory Markers in Diabetic Patients |
- Comparison of pioglitazone and placebo on 8 months follow-up neointima volume by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). [ Time Frame: 8 month follow-up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Comparison of pioglitazone and placebo on the changes in the levels of inflammatory markers (hsCRP, IL-6, TNF-α, adiponectin). [ Time Frame: 8 months follow-up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Estimated Enrollment: | 72 |
Study Start Date: | July 2007 |
Primary Completion Date: | July 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Drug: Pioglitazone
With the introduction of the DES, the angiographic rates of restenosis have decreased dramatically but less prominently in diabetic patients. Even in the era of DES, diabetes remains a significant predictor of coronary restenosis especially in cases of small baseline and post PCI vessel size, longer stent length, current smokers, and high level of CRP. Restenosis remains a main clinical and angiographic concern after DES implantation especially in diabetic patients. Diabetes has been known as a major risk factor for in-stent restenosis after DES implantation.
- Primary end point: Comparison of pioglitazone and placebo on 8 months follow-up neointima volume by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
- Secondary end point: Comparison of pioglitazone and placebo on the changes in the levels of inflammatory markers (hsCRP, IL-6, TNF-α, adiponectin).

Somebody Poisoned the Jury Pool: Social Media's Effect on Jury ImpartialityKristin R. BrownThe Law Office of Kristin R. Brown, PLLC February 21, 2012 Texas Wesleyan Law Review, Vol. 19, 2012, Forthcoming Abstract: The Sixth Amendment contains a guarantee to every criminal defendant, a trial by an impartial jury of his peers. This right has been declared a "fundamental right " — one that is implicit within the concept of liberty and justice — and thus, made applicable to the states through the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. However, this right does not belong solely to the defendant; it also encompasses the goals and objectives of the prosecution and society as a whole. This mixture is even further diluted when one considers the First Amendment rights of "Freedom of Speech" and "Freedom of Press," and how pre-trial publicity, especially with the advance of Social Networking sites such as Facebook, affects the impartiality of the potential jury pool. This Comment will address what impact social media has on the fundamental right to an impartial jury, and how that impact should be addressed, so that when a jury is seated we can best be assured that it is one free of bias, and able to make a decision regarding the guilt or innocence of the criminal defendant based solely on the evidence and testimony which is admitted at trial.

contracture (kun-TRAK-cher)
A permanent tightening of the muscles, tendons, skin, and nearby tissues that causes the joints to shorten and become very stiff. This prevents normal movement of a joint or other body part. Contractures may be caused by injury, scarring, and nerve damage, or by not using the muscles. It may also occur at some point in time after a stem cell transplant that caused chronic graft-versus-host disease. |

It was from Ebay, but it was new in the box with the circular plastic tabs still attached. (I already got burned once buying some from Hong Kong that was fake). This time I paid more and got the legit thing from a store with 1000's of positive feedback in NJ, so I really don't think (or hope) that is the problem. Truthfully, in Windows, it is more or less fine as really it is the booting and shutting down that is the real issue. When I select "Start Windows Normally" it gets through the bar very quick but then hangs with a full bar for about a minute. Oh, and I noticed in Windows, it still detected it as being removable media under My Computer. Is that normal? I thought maybe since it was on the IDE cable that wouldn't happen.
Thanks for the help.
After further testing, I can get it where it will reboot and run fine. I think it had something to do with EWF. I disabled it, restarted, enabled, restarted. All was fine, exept for Hibernating. Still when I try to Hibernate, it just locks up and I have to hard reboot it for it to come back on. It also doesn't seem to matter whether or not I have the resmany.dat file present with the combinations.
Another thing I noticed that I don't know if it pertains:
When the OS boots, I now get the black and white progress bar at the bottom of the screen. When I had this running from my HDD, I did not have any bars whatsoever (as I disabled the XP image and loading bar to help speed up things), now all of a sudden that bar is there while XP loads.
Is there anything else special that I have to do in order to use Hibernate?
ACPI stand by and hibernate do not work on removable drives unfortunately.
I think there's an HOWTO on the boards for disabling XP boot status bar.
EWF, HORM, MinLogon on XP.

Win Embedded Std 2011 RC

Well since I have given up on the hibernate process, I now need to figure out why the computer takes so long to boot. I will be trying out to some HD speed utilities tonight to see what the speed of the drive is. In windows it runs fine, it gets bogged down from time to time, but I doubt that I should have gone from a 20 second boot on a hard drive to about a minute on the CF card.
Maybe the Ghost utility changed something, You don't need any special software to copy the files from the HD to the CF. I just used a second computer running XP to hook up the image drive and the CF card, then used windows explorer to copy all the files. Worked great for me so it's something to consider. I also have an old 32mb SanDisk with DOS on it for testing things like this. If you had one of those handy you could plug it in and see if its the IDE > CF adaptor that is the bottle neck as DOS would also take a minute to boot.

Well I looked and I think the problem is that the CF drive is running in PIO mode, although it is set to use UDMA if available. Now I just have to figure out how to get it to use UDMA. Its only transferring at about 1.5 MB/s.
After testing all of my CF cards, it appears that they all run in PIO mode when connected through that adapter, and they all run at a MAX of about 2MB/s. I guess I will be looking into a new CF adapter.
Well I just went and purchased a USB CF reader from Walmart and low and behold I now get data transfer rates of around 27 MB/s with that card. Looks like I will be ordering a new CF-IDE adapter from a legit outlet.
I've noticed that trying to go cheap on the card or adapter will yeild very poor results when trying to run XPE. I learned the hard way too

T-Hill is an eight-hour trek from our L.A. digs, but its thrilling layout of fast sweepers, long straights, technical hairpins and steep elevation changes make it one of the few places in the country able to let a literbike stretch its legs. Other than fitting each bike with Pirelli Supercorsa SC2 tires and disconnecting brake lights, our trio remained otherwise bone stock as you would find them on the showroom floor.
[vs-jwplayer movieid="DNmoGxqDL0A" width="500" height="284" autoplay="1"] |
All three of our entrants are the cream of the crop in their respective manufacturerís literbike lineup. All come with traction control and a quickshifter. The RSV4 is Apriliaís premier sportbike, powered by a V-Four pushing 999.6 cubic centimeters. Sachs suspension bits donít have the panache of the Ohlins gracing the Factory version but perform quite admirably.
Weíve gone on record in the past about the Apriliaís sweet and nimble handling, and those attributes shine through remarkably around Thunderhill. In fact, being my first time at this track, I chose to ride the RSV4 during my sighting laps because its instant familiarity would allow my focus to be solely on line selection.
It didnít disappoint. I still adore the Apriliaís engine and chassis, and itís a sentiment fellow cohorts Tom Roderick and Kevin Duke share as well. ìSweet, caramel-coated harmony,î says Roderick. ìThe Aprilia is the ultimate treat to ride on a racetrack.î
ìIts balanced handling characteristics and obedient chassis remind me of the nimble CBR1000RR,î Duke remarks. ìBut its growling and thrilling V-Four gives it panache the CBR canít touch.î
The 2012 BMW S1000RR, while not all-new, did get several small updates this year. There are slight tweaks in chassis geometry, electronic settings and outwardly appearance that, all told, left Duke gushing about the bike during its intro in Spain late last year. The monster engine seen on the original RR is back and untouched.
ìFerocious,î was the one-word description in my notes for the engineís power and delivery. ìYouíve got to hold on tight otherwise it will rip your arms off.î
While itís by no means a large motorcycle, from the saddle the S1000 feels the most substantial of the three machines here. The transversely mounted Inline-Four spreads the riderís knees further apart than the other two, and a well-padded seat combined with available heated grips serve to give the BMW a cushier feel.
All it takes is one twist of the throttle, however, to remind you of the bikeís intentions. Tom agrees, adding, ìthe S1000RR pilot is lulled into a state of serenity until cracking the throttle WFO down the front straight and arriving at turn one quicker than planned.î
The BMW is fast. It makes big power early in the rev range and doesnít quit until its lofty 14,000-rpm redline. The RR is fastest down the straights, but we noticed the RR chassis to be slightly slower than the others when initiating turn-in or during side-to-side transitions.
Besides that itís really quite hard to fault the BMW. Brakes are strong with good feel, and the tweaks made to the 2012 model add up to more than just hype. Hell, even the slipper clutch worked well. Added bonus: itís also the least expensive of the lot at $15,050.
Then thereís the much-hyped Ducati 1199 Panigale. If this test were judged solely on anticipation, Ducati would win this contest in a landslide. Itís hard not to geek out over the myriad of features the new Duc has, and Duke covered them all in his first ride report from the Panigaleís launch in Abu Dhabi.
Itís important to note weíre riding the $22,995 S model Panigale in this test rather than the $17,995 base model we had requested. But we settled for the S version instead of waiting for the standard model because we wanted to be the first to bring you a test of the new Ducati on these shores.
After riding the Panigale, the common consensus among all three testers is that itís unlike any production Ducati superbike ever made. It revs like a four-cylinder, handles with scalpel-like precision (more so than previous Ducatis) and has a mind-boggling amount of electronics. Itís not at all what we expect from Borgo Panigale, but weíre definitely not complaining.
Those with doubts of the semi-monocoque frame derived from MotoGP technology that failed Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden, we can put those fears to rest. There were a number of factors leading to the demise of Ducatiís GP machine, mostly related to the Bridgestone spec tire, which were completely irrelevant when designing the 1199.
ìI knew from riding the Panigale at its launch it was a superb platform on the nearly bumpless Yas Marina Circuit,î Duke remarks, ìAnd I was pleased to find out it also works remarkably well at a bumpier track. The Superquadro engine is surprisingy soft below 8 grand, but then it yanks up top unlike any V-Twin ever produced!î
In direct contrast to the BMW, the Ducati is extremely narrow ñ it feels like you could almost touch your knees together while sitting on it. The seat is hard and the Superquadro engine likes to sing, suggesting a racetrack focus, but oddly enough the pegs are surprisingly lower than we expected. Still, grinding hard parts while leaned over was a non-issue.
Thereís no doubt the 1199 Panigale is a radical departure for Ducati, and only time will tell if the ìdefining engine characteristic endears itself to traditional Ducatisti,î says Tom. What we do know is all three machines are incredibly capable motorcycles for cutting quick times around a track. But weíre just skimming the surface.
Late next week weíll be bringing you the entire 2012 European literbike shootout, complete with detailed track and street impressions, dyno figures, scorecards and much more. Stay tuned.

So,if I define an enum like:
class x{ public: enum{ hey=0 }; }
Is it true that it doesn't occupy any space? And if yes,why?
Posted 29 April 2013 - 02:43 PM
It's just a definition. Until you define a member variable it won't occupy any space.
class MyBigClass
char aBigArray[1000000];
uses no space until you instantiate one (by decalring a variable of type MyBigClass).
Edited by Paradigm Shifter, 29 April 2013 - 02:44 PM.
Posted 29 April 2013 - 02:44 PM
You are just telling the compiler you are going to use the symbol `x::hey' as meaning 0. That may or may not "occupy any space", depending on what exactly you mean by that. (The size of an object of type x will not be larger because of the enum, the executable will not be larger (except maybe for debugging info), but the source code will use more space, and the compiler will use more memory.)
Edited by Álvaro, 29 April 2013 - 02:45 PM.
Posted 29 April 2013 - 02:48 PM
Thanks,got it.I was refering to using that code I showed you instead of a const inside a class.
So,Inside the class I could write int es[hey];
So should I use enums like that in a class instead of a static const if I need to write code like the array above? I understand that the performance I get by doing this is...very small,but just as a concept,is it better?
Ofcourse,I could just use int es[10],but when I need the same constant value in many places in a class,defining an enum like the one above,or a static const,might help understand the code faster.
Edited by noatom, 29 April 2013 - 02:50 PM.
Posted 29 April 2013 - 02:54 PM
Variants of a compile-time constant has no effect on the run-time, because it is compile-time only. So not only is it very small, but exactly zero run-time performance difference. Design-wise... well, that's a different question and depends on what the constant is used for and what it represents.

There is more to the shallow heiress, Loretta Shaw, who seeks to forget her past. She takes many lovers but her heart yearns for a man she can never have.
Cray Diamond is cursed. By day, he's a monstrous Gargoyle effigy. When the sun sets, he's flesh and is Loretta's bodyguard, who will do anything to keep her safe. Cray is attracted to Loretta and wants her. Honor is all he has left and he will leave her untouched by his hands. There can be no future for them. He's bound to protect and when his services are no longer needed, his curse will force him to find another. Even if he wanted to stay with her, he wouldn't be able to do so.
Loretta has other plans. She wants Cray and is determined to make him see they belong together. Only an ex-lover of hers is just as determined to stop her. His demented actions may cost both lovers their lives.
This is a fast paced story with a tantalizing romance, suspense and non-stop action. You will fall in love with honor bound Cray, who hates the way his body transforms into the hideous Gargoyle, and you'll feel for Loretta and understand how a life changing event left her scared on the inside.
This is a fabulous book of tortured souls who need each other to heal. Highly Recommended. Don't miss the second book of this series: Ice Cold Lover.

Heiress Loretta Shaw is notorious for her loose morals and sexual needs. Trouble is, it�s taken her one too many one-night stands to realize that no man can extinguish the sexual fire she feels toward her guardian, Cray Diamond.
A long-ago curse made Cray immortal�a gargoyle, a guardian, who is impelled to protect a human chosen by the curse. He is imprisoned in stone during daylight hours but dusk returns him to flesh and bone, to carry out his immortal duty.
That Cray can shift between human and living gargoyle at night bothers Loretta not one bit. She�s seen him naked many times and her desire for him�in any shape or form�knows no bounds. She�s tired of his resistance. He�s her gargoyle and she wants him in her bed.

London attractions don't come any better than Westminster Abbey
Published: Saturday 27th of October 2012
When meandering down the Thames on a warm, London afternoon, it would be madness not to take a small diversion and see Westminster Abbey.
A stunning Gothic building, the abbey constantly attracts tourists keen to get a glimpse and a feel for one of the city's most historic attractions.
It has been honoured as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with various historical figures having played their part in the building's tradition from all corners of society.
Indeed, far from it being solely about religion. The abbey has its very own scientists corner, which is used as a memorial for the great Isaac Newton, while it has also a strong regal theme running through it.
It's now used as the coronation church with the current queen, Elizabeth II, having been crowned on the famous King Edward's Chair.
Most recently the abbey saw the funeral of the Queen Mother, as well as the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Experience the best tourist attractions in London for free with a London Pass.

Two-Dimensional Vibrational Correlation Spectroscopic Study on the Crystallization Process of Poly(ethylene-2,6-naphthalate)
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 54, Issue 7, pp. 974-977 (2000)
Acrobat PDF (222 KB)
Conformation changes during the crystallization process of poly(ethylene-2,6-naphthalate), including the induction period, were investigated by means of generalized two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy. A broad carbonyl stretching vibration band, as well as a broad band for a naphthalene ring vibration, was resolved in terms of the coplanarity of the carbonyl and the naphthalene ring. A difference in conformation change was found between cold crystallization and melt crystallization.

Designed by Alvar Aalto in 1933, the classic Artek Stool 60 is considered the definition of functionalist furniture design. The simple and elegant stool is characterized by its circular seat and three birch legs. Notable for the distinctive bend in the legs, the stool became a signature of Aalto's work, as his subsequent furniture designs feature these defined leg bends. The Artek Stool 60 is a sturdy seat that also portrays a sense of lightness with its open base, and its style endures over time—even with changing décor. The versatile seat can be used at a kitchen table, as additional seating in a living room, or even as a side table. When stacked with other Artek Stool 60s, the birch legs line up in a cascade, creating a sculptural design element when the stools are not in use.
17.3" H x 15" Dia.
Seat Height: 18.7"
The Anniversary Edition of the Artek Stool 60 was produced in conjunction with the design's 80th birthday.
One of the 20th century's great International Style architects, Alvar Aalto (1898–1976) is renowned for synthesizing the precepts of modernism with expressionist organic forms and natural materials. He is known for his contributions in architecture, furniture, glassware, and textiles. As Aalto is especially revered in his native Finland, one can dine, browse book titles, and see a symphony in spaces of his design—not to mention visit the architect's former home and studio in Helsinki, Finland.
Artek was founded in 1935 by four young idealists, Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen, and Nils-Gustav Hahl. The business idea of the company was "to sell furniture and to promote a modern culture of habitation by exhibitions and other educational means." The founders of Artek advocated a new kind of environment for everyday life. They believed in a grand synthesis of the arts and wanted to make a difference in town planning, as well as architecture and design.
Today, Artek is renowned as being one of the most innovative contributors to modern design, building on the heritage of Alvar Aalto. Functionality and timeless aesthetics are the essential elements in the creation of every product that bears the Artek name. Artek's comprehensive furniture system is based on the original idea of standards and systems, which has its origin from Alvar Aalto's L-system. The standard and system thinking makes the furniture range versatile and allows it to be customized for individual projects. Artek's furniture can be found in various types of spaces; from public spaces to homes, museums to schools, and hotels to offices.

Treatment of underfed pigs with GH throughout the second quarter of pregnancy increases fetal growth. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 10856901 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Circulating growth hormone (GH) concentrations increase in pregnancy and administration of GH during early-mid pregnancy increases fetal growth in well-fed pigs. To determine whether increased maternal GH could promote fetal growth when feed availability is restricted, fifteen cross-bred primiparous sows (gilts) were fed at approximately 30% of ad libitum intake, from mating onwards and were injected daily i.m. with recombinant porcine GH (pGH) at doses of 0, 13.4+/-0.3 and 25.6+/-0.5 microg/kg live weight from day 25 to day 51 of pregnancy (term approximately 115 days). Treatment with pGH increased maternal backfat loss between day 25 and day 51 of pregnancy, and increased maternal plasma IGF-I concentrations measured at day 51 of pregnancy. Fetal body weight, length and skull width at day 51 of pregnancy were increased by maternal treatment with pGH. Fetal plasma glucose concentrations were increased and maternal/fetal plasma glucose concentration gradients were decreased by maternal pGH treatment at 13.4, but not 25.6 microg/kg.day. Fetal plasma concentrations of urea were decreased by both levels of pGH treatment. Overall, fetal weight was negatively correlated with fetal plasma concentrations of urea, positively correlated with maternal plasma alpha-amino nitrogen concentrations and unrelated to glucose concentrations in either maternal or fetal plasma. This suggests that the availability of amino acids, not glucose, limits fetal growth in the first half of pregnancy in underfed gilts, and that maternal GH treatment may improve amino acid delivery to the fetus. |

Video: Off suspension, BYU LB Spencer Hadley talks about Saturday's win
Published October 13, 2013 6:32 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
BYU linebacker Spencer Hadley returned from what turned out to be a three-game suspension and played a lot in Saturday's 38-20 win over Georgia Tech.
Hadley appeared at the postgame news conference to talk about his play in the game, and also spoke freely about the suspension, what it felt like to return to action, and how much he missed football.
Hadley said having to miss the game against Utah, a 20-13 loss to the Utes, was one of the most difficult things he's had to do in his life.
Fellow defender Bronson Kaufusi is also in the video.
