When calves suckle their own dams the proportion of calves unaffected by BNP is likely to be even higher, as half their genetic material will originate from the dam, reducing the likelihood of susceptible antigens being present.
When calves are fed colostrum from individual unrelated BNP-dams a proportion (roughly 1 in 3) do not succumb to disease [ 6] presumably because they lack antigens that are sufficiently complementary to the specific alloantibodies generated by that cow.
At the dam station, the proportion of D. galeata decreased from 60%to17%7% between t+1 and t+2.
Most of the significant genes showed higher expression in fetuses derived from DG-fed dams compared with CN-fed dams, while similar proportion of highly and lowly expressed genes was found in the comparison between DG and HY diets.
Thus, in IAV-infected offspring of TCDD-treated dams, a greater proportion of the total CD4+ T-cell population was composed of Tregs than conventional effector CD4+ T cells.
The increased ECL intensity was proportion to Dam MTase activity in the range from 0.05U/mL to 40 U/mL with a detection limit of 0.02 U/mL.
The proportion of dams with six or more litters was significantly lower in the BPA 25 μg/kg group (35%) than in the controls (76%), as was the proportion of mice with four or more litters in the BPA 25 μg/kg group (60%) compared with the controls (95%; p = 0.012).
Among the dams, estimated flux proportions for TP and TFe were higher during high-flow events (74%–94%).
However, the dam now retains a large proportion of the sediment, and the delta's expansion has slowed considerably.
According to the authors' previous study on 828 coseismic landslide dams (Fan et al. 2012c), the proportion of different types of damming landslides is shown in Fig. 2.
Dam effects were calculated as the proportion of total phenotypic variance due to dams and may consist of maternal environment, other common environmental effects encountered before families were tagged, or dominance deviation effects.
