Due to the lack of a complete urea cycle, uricotelic species, such as broilers, are not able to synthesize de novo arginine (Arg), thus depending exclusively on dietary Arg.High levels of dietary lysine (Lys) increase the demand for Arg because of the antagonistic relationship between these amino acids.The Arg-Lys antagonism promotes an expressive
What Factors Influence the Injuries of Canoeists and Kayakers over the Years?

Development of a Machine Learning-Based Cysticidal Assay and Identification of an Amebicidal and Cysticidal Marine Microbial Metabolite against Acanthamoeba
ABSTRACT Traditional cysticidal assays for Acanthamoeba species revolve around treating cysts with compounds and manually observing the culture for evidence of excystation.This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and low throughput.We adapted and trained a YOLOv3 machine learning, object detection neural network to recognize Acanthamoeba cas
