BackgroundMutations in a novel gene, UBIAD1, were recently found to cause the autosomal dominant eye disease Schnyder corneal dystrophy (SCD).SCD is characterized by an abnormal deposition of cholesterol and phospholipids in the cornea resulting in progressive corneal opacification and visual loss.We characterized lesions in the UBIAD1 gene in new
This study aimed to investigate the influence of herbal residues on the fermentation quality and ruminal fermentation of paper mulberry silage.Clove, mint, and purple perilla residues were used as additives.Silage treatments were designed as control (no additives), 5% of clove, 5% of mint, and 5% of purple perilla.After 21 and 75 days of fermentati
The design of switched reluctance motor (SRM) is considered a complex problem to be solved using conventional design techniques.This is due to the large number of design parameters that should be considered during the design process.Therefore, optimization techniques are necessary to obtain an optimal design of SRM.This paper presents an optimal de
