Etymology.
The specific epithet pingtangensis refers to the geographic origin of the type strain, Pingtang County, Guizhou Province.
Typus.
China. • Guizhou Prov.: Pingtang Co., Sifangjing Vil. (25 ° 7 ' 45 ' N, 107°2'54"E), Feb 2023, in the phylloplane of Acer saccharum, D. Lu, NYNU 23281 (holotype CICC 33596 T, GenBank: OQ 851896, OQ 851894); culture ex-type PYCC 9976.
Description.
On YM agar after seven days at 20 ° C, the streak culture is white-cream, mucoid, glistening, and smooth, with an entire margin. After three days in YM broth at 20 ° C, cells are ellipsoida, 2.4–3.7 × 3.7–6.4 μm, and single; budding is polar. After one month at 20 ° C, a ring and sediment are present. In Dalmau plate culture on CMA, pseudohyphae and hyphae are not formed. Sexual structures are not observed on PDA, CMA or V 8 agar. On corn meal agar, ballistoconidia are not produced. Glucose fermentation is absent. Glucose, sucrose, raffinose, melibiose, galactose, lactose, trehalose, maltose, melezitose, methyl-α-D-glucoside, cellobiose, salicin, L-sorbose (weak), L-rhamnose, D-xylose, L-arabinose, D-arabinose, 5 - keto-D-gluconate, D-ribose, ethanol (weak), glycerol (delayed and weak), ribitol, galactitol, D-mannitol, D-glucitol, myo-inositol, DL-lactate (delayed), succinate (weak), D-gluconate, D-glucosamine (weak), N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, 2 - keto-D-gluconate, D-glucuronate (weak), and glucono- 1, 5 - lactone are assimilated as sole carbon sources. Inulin, methanol, and erythritol are not assimilated. Nitrate, nitrite (weak), ethylamine, L-lysine (weak), and cadaverine (delayed) are assimilated as sole nitrogen sources. Maximum growth temperature is 25 ° C. Growth in vitamin-free medium is positive. Growth on 50 % (w / w) glucose-yeast extract agar is negative. Starch-like substances are not produced. Urease activity is positive. Diazonium Blue B reaction is positive.
Additional strain examined.
China. • Henan Prov.: Songxian Co., Tianchi mountain (34°32'27"N, 112°16'39"E), Jun 2023, in the phylloplane of Morus alba, J. Z. Li, NYNU 236258 (GenBank: PQ 496708, PQ 496707).
Note.
In the phylogenetic analyses, V. pingtangensis was closely related to V. eriobotryae; both differ by 102 nucleotides (52 / 487 in ITS and 50 / 600 in LSU). Physiologically, they can be differentiated because V. eriobotryae has the ability to assimilate glycerol and the inability to assimilate inulin and erythritol, in addition to being able to grow at 30 ° C, while V. pingtangensis cannot.

description: We report the discovery of a double ring of emission-line regions around the nucleus of the Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxy Mrk409 as seen by deep, ground-based Halpha images. Echelle spectroscopy obtained at Magellan-I with MIKE shows the presence of ionized gas flowing out of the galaxy from a very massive (>7E6 Msun) nuclear starburst with projected expansion velocities of \~50 km/s. Different scenarios for the formation of these rings are discussed. While the innermost, nuclear ring is most probably formed by the interaction of a starburst-driven shock with the surrounding interstellar medium, the origin of the outer ring is less clear.

description: We present first principles calculations based on density functional theory for the conductance of monatomic Al wires between Al(111) electrodes. In contrast to the even-odd oscillations observed in other metallic wires, the conductance of the Al wires is found to oscillate with a period of 4 atoms as the length of the wire is varied. Although local charge neutrality can account for the observed period it leads to an incorrect phase. We explain the conductance behavior using a resonant transport model based on the electronic structure of the infinite wire.

description: The prescription and use of fluoroquinolones is an almost daily part of clinical practice in the majority of medical specialists, as broad spectrum antibiotics that present with excellent bioavailability, flexible dosing and adequate safety profile. The use of quinolones, however, is not bereft of side effects, the most known amongst them being tendon rupture, ventricular arrythmias and macular detachment. Since the 2010s, specifically the middle of decade, several studies appeared in bibliography, that supported the correlation between aortic aneurysm or dissection and the use of fluoroquinolones. The present bibliographic review aims to define the terms aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, to describe the fluoroquinolones, a category of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and the pathophysiology behind the emerging aortic aneurysm of dissection. Lastly, the study will analyze the current bibliography aiming to exact a conclusion upon the matter.

description: Reservoir engineering lattice states using only localized engineered dissipation is extremely attractive from a resource point of view, but can suffer from long relaxation times. Here, we study the relaxation dynamics of bosonic lattice systems locally coupled to a single squeezed reservoir. Such systems can relax into a highly non-trivial pure states with long-range entanglement. In the limit of large system size, analytic expressions for the dissipation spectrum can be found by making an analogy to scattering from a localized impurity. This allows us to study the cross-over from perturbative relaxation to a slow, quantum-Zeno regime. We also find the possibility of regimes of accelerated relaxation due to a surprising impedance matching phenomena. We also study intermediate time behaviors, identifying a long-lived "prethermalized" state associated that exists within a light cone like area. This intermediate state can be quasi-stationary, and can very different entanglement properties from the ultimate dissipative steady state.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: The production of wrong sign charmed mesons b -> \bar D_{(s)} X, D_{(s)}=(D0,D+,D_s), is studied using the data collected by the DELPHI experiment in the years 1994 and 1995. Charmed mesons in Z -> b bbar events are exclusively reconstructed by searching for the decays D0 -> K- pi+, D+ -> K- pi+ pi+ and D_s^+ -> phi pi+ -> K+ K- pi+. The wrong sign contribution is extracted by using two discriminant variables: the charge of the b-quark at decay time, estimated from the charges of identified particles, and the momentum of the charmed meson in the rest frame of the b-hadron. The inclusive branching fractions of b-hadrons into wrong sign charm mesons are measured to be: Br(b -> \bar D0 X) + Br(b -> D- X) = (9.3 +/- 1.7(stat) +/- 1.3(syst) +/- 0.4(Br))%, Br(b -> D_s^- X) = (10.1 +/- 1.0(stat) +/- 0.6(syst) +/- 2.8(Br))% where the first error is statistical, the second and third errors are systematic.

description: Subject and purpose of work: The goal of the article is to characterize the “slow city” model, its assumptions, conditions and effects of its implementation in Polish conditions. It also aims to present intelligent solutions in using own resources of small cities. Materials and methods: The article was based on the study and synthesis of Polish and foreign literature and a review of strategic documents of Polish cities belonging to Cittaslow. Results: The article fills the existing gap in the area of contemporary strategies for the development of small towns. It describes the “slow city” model, on the basis of which small cities belonging to the Cittaslow city network are developing. Intelligent solutions in the use of endogenous own resources of small cities are also presented. Conclusions: The analysis carried out made it possible to state that the “slow city” model is useful in the development of small towns. It guarantees optimal and intelligent use of endogenous resources of a small town. However, the review of the strategic documents of the cities of “slow city” shows that these cities affect, like most small cities, negative socio-economic phenomena.

description: By using the first-principles approach, we derive a system of three quantum kinetic equations governing the production and evolution of charged scalar particles by an electric field in an expanding universe. Analyzing the ultraviolet asymptotic behavior of the kinetic functions, we found the divergent parts of the electric current and the energy-momentum tensor of the produced particles and determined the corresponding counterterms. The renormalized system of equations is used to study the generation of electromagnetic fields during and after inflation in the kinetic coupling model $\mathcal{L}_{\rm EM}=-(1/4)f^{2}(ϕ)F_{μν}F^{μν}$ with the Ratra coupling function $f=\exp(βϕ/M_{p})$. It is found that the electric current of created particles is retarded with respect to the electric field. This leads to an oscillatory behavior of both quantities in agreement with the results obtained previously in phenomenological kinetic and hydrodynamical approaches.

description: We investigate current fluctuations in a three-terminal quantum dot in the sequential tunneling regime. In the voltage-bias configuration chosen here, the circuit is operated like a beam splitter, i.e. one lead is used as an input and the other two as outputs. In the limit where a double occupancy of the dot is not possible, a super-Poissonian Fano factor of the current in the input lead and positive cross-correlations between the current fluctuations in the two output leads can be obtained, due to dynamical channel-blockade. When a single orbital of the dot transports current, this effect can be obtained by lifting the spin-degeneracy of the circuit with ferromagnetic leads or with a magnetic field. When several orbitals participate in the electronic conduction, lifting spin-degeneracy is not necessary. In all cases, we show that a super-Poissonian Fano factor for the input current is not equivalent to positive cross-correlations between the outputs. We identify the conditions for obtaining these two effects and discuss possible experimental realizations.

description: Subject and purpose of work: The main objective of the article is to recommend some solutions in the area of e-tourism which could be introduced by the local government in Wałbrzych as part of activities initiated in 2017 for the development of the Smart City concept. Materials and methods: The implementation of the objective required a detailed analysis and evaluation of the “Strategy for Sustainable Development of Wałbrzych City until 2020”as well as the key task areas of the Smart City Program Council set up in the city, including Task Teams implementing projects of smart urban solutions. In the course of the research, a literature review was also conducted to explore the ways of defining the concept of e-tourism. Results: As a result of the literature research, the authors emphasized different aspects (dimensions) of e-tourism and described the e-tourism model for tourist consumption. The analysis of the strategic municipal documents showed that they did not contain any direct references and plans regarding the development of activities in the area of e-tourism. The current study offers recommendations for the growth of e-tourism in Wałbrzych. Conclusions: In the context of the realisation of “Smart City for the city of Wałbrzych” program, the concept of e-tourism, according to the authors, is an opportunity for the development of tourism in the city and in the region. The catalogue of possible solutions is open and their implementation requires taking into account the needs of different groups of stakeholders, including people with disabilities and the elderly.

The productivity of work is the subject of the research, but not in the traditional neoclassical interpretation, but within the institutional economy. The aim of the article is to show new ways of analyzing work productivity using institutional methodology. Materials and methods: The article uses a conventional method, which is a combination of institutional and neoclassical methodology. It covers sociological research tools and statistical methods of data processing used for quantitative analysis as part of the institutional approach. Results: Similar parameters of human capital indicators were obtained in the employees of both markets. The indicators of opportunism in the representatives of the employees of the Moscow market are much higher, which significantly reduces the quantitative values of the institutional work productivity in Eastern markets. Conclusions: In order to increase institutional work productivity in Eastern European markets (Russia) and to reduce opportunistic behavior of transaction participants, it is necessary to modernize institutional environment in these countries.

description: We study theoretically the strong-field absorption of an ultrafast optical pulse by a gapped graphene monolayer. At low field amplitudes, the absorbance in the pristine graphene is equal to the universal value of $2.3$ percent. Although the ultrafast optical absorption for low field amplitudes is independent of the polarization, linear or circular, of the applied optical pulse, for high field amplitudes, the absorption strongly depends on the pulse polarization. For a linearly polarized pulse, the optical absorbance is saturated at the value of $\approx 1.4$ percent for the pulse's amplitude of $\geq 0.4~\mathrm{V/Å}$, but no such saturation is observed for a circularly polarized pulse. For the gapped graphene, the absorption of a linearly polarized pulse has a weak dependence on the bandgap, while for a circularly polarized pulse, the absorption is very sensitive to the bandgap. %Opening a bandgap in graphene by placing in on, for example, SiC substrate strongly modify the ultrafast absorption at small field amplitudes.

description: Since the development of modern technology and industry, the window as an architectural element has lost its agency as a mediator of public/private, interior/exterior, individual/collective and has become a simply a product of enclosure. Through the survey of existing regional windows, this thesis works on gaining a better understanding of Vancouver’s cultural milieu by providing a genealogical framework for the foundation of a generative process by critically examining the collective memory of this city. The proposal will situate itself in the near future, by re-imagining Vancouver’s relationship to the window, where a widespread building envelope failure begins to affect its most ubiquitous building form - the window wall tower. With accruing cost of repair paralyzing many into entropic disarray, a new narrative with the city emerges through the act of re-skinning the existing in order to reconsider its latent potentials. Strategically, negotiating the existing buildings into the rhetoric of sustainability provides new possibilities nested in the act of repairing. Proposed architecture finds itself working within the rules of the existing while addressing many of its failures that has spiralled the city into a state of crisis. In tapping into the city’s obsession with speculation, this new speculative process based on repair allows dwellers to engage with its environment in an open-ended manner. To place this projected future, the proposed site will return to the epicentre of where this all began, the Concord Pacific developments on the former Expo lands. Effects of multiplicity, strange familiarity, and urgent imagination compose the language to not only challenge the status quo but openly invites individuals to imagine together what this future might look like.
Search for B0_s - anti-B0_s oscillations and a measurement of B0_d - anti-B0_d oscillations using events with an inclusively reconstructed vertex

description: Neutral B meson oscillations in the B0_s - anti-B0_s and B0_d - anti-B0_d systems were studied using a sample of about 4.0 million hadronic Z decays recorded by the DELPHI detector between 1992 and 2000. Events with a high transverse momentum lepton were removed and a sample of 770 k events with an inclusively reconstructed vertex was selected. The mass difference between the two physical states in the B0_d - anti-B0_d system was measured to be: Δm_d = (0.531 +/- 0.025 (stat.) +/- 0.007 (syst.)) ps^{-1}. The following limit on the width difference of these states was also obtained: |ΔΓ_{B_d}| / Γ_{B_d} < 0.18 at 95% CL. As no evidence for B0_s - anti-B0_s oscillations was found, a limit on the mass difference of the two physical states was given: Δm_s > 5.0 ps^{-1} at 95% CL. The corresponding sensitivity of this analysis is equal to 6.6 ps^{-1}.

Fermion transfer in the $ϕ^4$ model with a half-BPS preserving impurity

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study a fermion field coupled to a scalar via a Yukawa term. The scalar field is the $ϕ^4$ model with an impurity that preserves half of the BPS property. We analyze the spectrum of the defects of the model and collisions between them both close to the BPS regime and not. As the fermion binds to these defects, it may be transferred from one to the other, which we quantify via overlaps, known as Bogoliubov coefficients. BPS collisions are less likely to transfer the fermion between defects and can be adiabatic for non-relativistic velocities, especially for small coupling constants. Moreover, closer to the BPS limit only a small fraction of the fermion number is radiated away. In contrast, non-BPS collisions lead to more radiation in the fermion field and excitation of the fermion to higher bound states, and the result is more sensitive to the parameters.

title: Studies of hydroxybutyrate oligomers crystallization behaviour
Creators: name: Li, Junhui
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: Monodisperse long chain oligomers such as n-alkanes provide excellent model systems for fundamental studies of polymer crystallization and annealing. Previous studies revealed important results, including a preference for discrete crystal thicknesses corresponding to integer folded chain forms, minima in growth and nucleation rates as the system changes from one chain conformation to another, and clear unfolding transitions during melting.

The work presented here extends previous studies to oligomers of hydroxybutyrate (OHB), which serve as models for the polymer poly(3-R-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). A range of exact length hydroxybutyrate oligomers have been synthesized and their crystallization behaviour and morphology studied using optical and electron microscopy, together with small and wide angle X-ray scattering, including dynamic measurements at the ESRF Grenoble.

The oligomers form crystals from dilute solution and from the melt, exhibiting similar overall morphologies and structure to PHB. Growth rate data for HB 24-mer and 32- mer spherulites grown from the melt and crystallization rate data from solution reveal discontinuities in the rate gradient which can be linked to changes in chain conformation. These features could arise from a ‘self-poisoning’ effect previously postulated for the growth minima in long n-alkanes. Crystals grown at the lower temperatures contain folded chains, which transform during heating through a process of partial melting/dissolution and re-crystallization to form extended chain crystals. These unfolding transitions were accompanied by changes in crystallinity and lattice parameter. Crystals grown at higher temperatures contain extended chains that do not rearrange further.

Preferred crystal thicknesses are those which result in relatively high proportions of chain ends in the surface. For the 24-mer, they correspond to the extended chain length (E), and to E/2, 2/3E, 3/4E and 5/6E. This wide range of thicknesses is in contrast to results from long n-alkanes, possibly due to hydrogen bonding between chain ends, which effectively links chains together into longer units.

The current work reveals a great deal about the way in which HB oligomer chains fold and how they re-arrange themselves from one folded form to another which, combined with previous results on PHB, will contribute towards a more complete view of the whole polymer crystallization process.

description: Ανέκαθεν για την παρασκευή χρωστικών ουσιών, κύρια πηγή που χρησιμοποιούσε ο άνθρωπος ήταν οι ορυκτές πρώτες ύλες, για τη δημιουργία εντυπωσιακών τοιχογραφιών, καθώς και τη διακόσμηση αντικειμένων, συνήθως λατρευτικού χαρακτήρα, αλλά και αντικείμενα καθημερινής χρήσεως. Αυτή η πρακτική παρατηρείται τόσο σε πανελλήνιο όσο και σε διεθνές επίπεδο. Η παρούσα εργασία έχει ως αντικείμενο μελέτης τις χρωστικές που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν στις τοιχογραφίες που εντοπίζονται στο εσωτερικό του σπηλαίου Δράκαινα στο νησί της Κεφαλλονιάς και χρονολογούνται από τη Νεολιθική εποχή. Συγκεκριμένα, απώτερος σκοπός της αποτελεί η αναγνώριση των ορυκτών που ευθύνονται για τα χρώματα τριών διαφορετικών χρωστικών. Με τη χρήση φασματοσκοπίου υπερύθρου με μετασχηματισμό Fourier (FTIR), ηλεκτρονικού σαρωτικού μικροσκοπίου με ανιχνευτή ενεργειακής διασποράς (SEM-EDS) και με περιθλασιμετρία ακτίνων Χ (XRD) βρέθηκε ότι η λευκή χρωστική οφείλει το χρώμα της σε μίγμα χαλαζία, άμορφου πυριτίου και ασβεστίτη, η καστανή χρωστική σε γκαιτίτη και η ερυθρή χρωστική σε αιματίτη
description: Since the rise of the humankind, the main source for pigment preparation, were various natural resources, mainly minerals. These sources have been used for the creation of marvelous frescoes, but also for the decoration of artefacts, usually used for rituals, but also for everyday objects as well. This practice can be spotted in Greece, but also on a global scale. The current thesis deals with the pigments used in the frescoes found inside the cave of Drakaina, in the island of Cephallonia, Greece, which date back to Neolithic times. Specifically, the goal of this master is the identification of the minerals responsible for the colors of three different pigments. With the use of Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with an Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) it was observed that the white pigment owes its color to a mixture of quartz, amorphous silica and calcite, the brown pigment owes its color to goethite and the red pigment to hematite

description: Understanding consumer behavior is an important task, not only for developing marketing strategies but also for the management of economic policies. Detecting consumption patterns, however, is a high-dimensional problem in which various factors that would affect consumers' behavior need to be considered, such as consumers' demographics, circadian rhythm, seasonal cycles, etc. Here, we develop a method to extract multi-timescale expenditure patterns of consumers from a large dataset of scanned receipts. We use a non-negative tensor factorization (NTF) to detect intra- and inter-week consumption patterns at one time. The proposed method allows us to characterize consumers based on their consumption patterns that are correlated over different timescales.

Irresistible Decay : Reclaim Ruins in Chiatura, Georgia.
Creators: name: Huang, Jiahui
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Ruins can be invaluable relics, decorative follies or problematic garbage in cities. Many people see the value of ruins only in the history that lies behind them, but ruins are much more complex. They evoke nostalgia, contemplation and imagination. While some ancient ruins have been developed into tourist sites, modern ruins have the potential to be explored and experienced in a different way. The project title “irresistible decay” means ruins cannot resist the power of time or lack of funds for renovation, while people are also irresistible to the “ruin porn”. This project explores the situations of modern ruins and how they are perceived, used and re-purposed today. The goal is to reveal the new aesthetics of decay, determine the requirements for experiencing ruins in a contemporary context, and encourage the field of landscape architecture to respond to the new needs for ruin interventions.

Running of the Spectral Index in Noncommutative Inflation

description: We study the cosmological implications of the space-space noncommutative inflation and present formulae for the spectral index and its running. Our results show that deviations from the spectral index and its running depend on the space-space noncommutativity length scale. We conclude that in the slow-roll regime of a typical inflationary scenario, space-space noncommutativity has negligible effects on both the spectral index and its running. Two classes of examples have been studied and comparisons made with the standard slow-roll formulae. The results show that the correction terms to the commutative case are positive for the spectral index and negative for the running of the spectral index. Nevertheless the spectral index in noncommutative spaces is less than one owing to the very small values of the correction terms.

title: Love as an Ideology: The Reflections on "Sexual Crisis" in Aleksandra Kollontai's Writing.
Creators: name: Zhuravskaya, Gustava
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: The dissertation considers the manner in which A. Kollontai's writing became preoccupied with love and sexual matters. The choice of love (rather than sexuality) as a central topic for the present dissertation meant to suggest the extent to which the discussion on love served in the years leading up to 1917 and a decade after it as a sign of the speaker's rapport with an ideal community. By analysing love, Kollontai was engaged in the process of defining the border between public and private life of individual, deciding where the autonomy stops and collective existence begins, and questioning the modes of attachment that make personal and collective. The word "love" is meant to encompass two different terms: love "in the broad sense" (as an agent of the transformation of society) and "in the sense of relationships between the sexes". Chapter I discusses Kollontai's concept of Eros against the backdrop of her time and the theory and praxis of love in the tum-of-the-century Russian culture. To highlight the hierarchy and connection between love "in the broad sense” and "in the sense of relationships between the sexes", the attention is paid to the status of family (or couple as an isolated union) in relations to community (political authority), articulating and implementing the public intervention in the relations between the sexes and her perception of the distinction between private and public space. The second purpose is to pursue how sexual behaviour was constituted in socialist thought oriented to the construction of the new social order. The second chapter follows the interconnection between radical reconsideration of the role which love should play in women's life and Kollontai's variant of the concept of New Woman.

description: Highly-acidic graphene oxide in the presence of hydrogen peroxide was found to act as an efficient metal-free heterogeneous catalyst for oxidation of sulfides to sulfones under mild and neutral condition. Several factors such as catalyst amount, solvent, and reaction time pertaining to achieve the reactivity were also discussed. Sulfone formation increased with an increase in hydrogen peroxide concentration, temperature, and catalyst amounts. The uniqueness of this catalyst lies in its stability, cost-effective, ease in removal at the end of reaction, and chemoselective oxidation of alkyl and aryl sulfides to the corresponding sulfones. The catalyst is recyclable for at least four times only with the little reduction in oxidation of sulfides. Reaction kinetics was found to be pseudo-first order and the calculated activation energy was 32.11 kJ/mol.

description: This dissertation examines how digital media transformed our culture and storytelling practices. More specifically, it is attempted to shed light upon the different forms that digital storytelling can take nowadays, especially interactive forms. Additionally, this dissertation explores the link between interactive narratives, such as interactive documentary, and public awareness. The key issue that is tried to be addressed is whether the genre of interactive documentary can promote social awareness and intention for behavioral change through its inherent potential of audience participation. The experimental part of the study includes the audiovisual production of mini documentaries concerning social and environmental issues. Interactive features were added to the production and quantitative research was carried out through an online distributed questionnaire for the evaluation of the interactive digital story. In that way, it was attempted to identify the audience’s opinions on the genre of interactive documentary, as well as its impact on their awareness and attitudes

title: The Efficiency Of Nitrogen Utilisation In Growing Chicks
Creators: name: Richardson, Clare Louise
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: High levels of nitrogen excretion result in economic loss in farm animal production. Recent theories have proposed that there is a poor agreement between amino acid oxidation and the rate of protein synthesis. The overall objectives of three separate experiments were to quantify the growth, efficiency of feed and nitrogen utilisation and rate of lysine oxidation in growing chickens. The first experiment compared the growth and efficiency of nitrogen utilisation of birds given eight different dietary crude protein concentrations (130 - 300g/kg). Increasing dietary protein had no effect on weight gains (p>0.05) but an inverse relationship (p<0.001) with the efficiency of nitrogen utilisation. However, the results indicated that diets with increasing protein concentrations had poor protein digestibility. A second experiment compared eight dietary crude protein concentrations (129-305g/kg) each at six lysine concentrations (40-65g/kg of protein). There was a curvilinear increase (p<0.001) in growth rates with increasing dietary protein with maximum growth rates occurring at 280g/kg. There was also a quadratic effect (p<0.01) of lysine concentration on weight gain with the maximum growth occurring at 55g/kg. The optimum crude protein concentration for maximum growth was indicated at 275 g/kg diet and there was no effect of protein concentration (p>0.05) on the efficiency of nitrogen utilisation. The third experiment examined the response of growing chickens to a diet that varied only in lysine concentration (30-100g/kg of protein). The optimum lysine concentration for maximum growth was indicated to be 64g/kg CP and the optimum for maximum efficiency of nitrogen utilisation was also indicated at 64 g/kg CP. Therefore there was no evidence that maximum weight gain and maximum nitrogen retention occurred at different protein and lysine concentrations. Lysine oxidation increased with an increase in dietary lysine and there was evidence of a curvilinear response. A rapid increase in lysine oxidation was indicated at 55g/kg CP. This data therefore gives some support to the theory of increased oxidation of amino acids prior to the point of maximum protein retention in poultry.
