Novel roles of ADF/cofilins in maintenance of homeostasis in normal and malignant epithelial cells
… and in particular invasion and metastasis. ADF/cofilins are among the most important actin regulatory proteins. Mammals have three highly conserved members, ADF, CFL1 and CFL2, which regulate actin dynamics by severing and depolymerizing actin filaments. Despite a huge literature on the …

Facing new challenges: adapting the NZDF and ADF to the post-Cold War security environment
This thesis examines the development of the Australian and New Zealand Defence Forces during the post-Cold War period. It has been motivated partly by a desire to clear up the confusion that has sometimes developed over recent force structure changes in both countries, as well as a desire to make …

The ADF insurgency network in the eastern democratic Republic of the Congo: spillover effects into Tanzania?
… an opportunity for the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) terrorist/insurgency organization to settle and establish its base. This thesis assesses whether this organization poses a security threat to the United Republic of Tanzania, specifically with regard to the export of terrorism. To better …

Allied democratic forces (ADF) in Uganda: A Jihadi- Salafi movement or local political movement in disguise
Since 1996, Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) has waged a campaign of terror in Uganda and neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which has resulted in a number of fatalities and continues to threaten the security of the region. From its inception, the objective of the ADF has been to …

Co -Channel Speech Separation Based on Adaptive Decorrelation Filtering
… performance achieved by the previous direct-form ADF as well as to facilitate modular and easy implementation of ADF in hardware, a lattice-ladder structure for ADF is developed based on the joint forward and backward linear predictions. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the …

Development of equations to predict dry matter intake of dairy heifers
… (AMBT, °C), ration acid detergent fiber (ADF, percent of dry matter), neutral detergent fiber (NDF, percent of dry matter), net energy for maintenance and gain (NEM, NEG, megacalories), total digestible nutrients (TDN, percent of dry matter), and bulk density (BULK, g/ml as fed). Squared …

Seasonal differences in apparent digestibilities of fescue and orchardgrass/clover pastures by horses
… (DM), crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) were determined. Digestibility of orchardgrass/clover components were not different between winter and spring, but were higher (P<.05) in DM, ADF and NDF digestibilities in the summer. Fescue DM and ADF …

Hull, ferulic acid, para-coumaric acid content and particle size characteristics of various barley varieties in relation to nutrient availability in ruminants
… detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and acid detergent lignin (ADL) in various barley varities. Mean/median particle size of the barley grain after coarse dry-rolling was also determined. The relationships among these parameters and the digestibility of barley grain in ruminants …

The Role of Actin Depolymerizing Factor in Regulating Actin Dynamics in Toxoplasma gondii
… eukaryotes the Actin Depolymerizing Factor: ADF)/Cofilin proteins are essential regulators of actin filament turnover. ADF is one of the few actin binding proteins conserved in apicomplexan parasites. To investigate the role of ADF in regulating actin dynamics in apicomplexan parasites, …

Modeling of Shock Wave Propagation and Attenuation in Viscoelastic Structures
… parameters. The Anelastic Displacement Fields (ADF) method is employed to develop new axisymmetric and plane stress finite elements that are capable of modeling frequency dependent material behavior of linear viscoelastic materials. The new finite elements are used to model and analyze behavior …

Nutritional Value of Warm- and Cool-Season Grasses for Ruminants
… and ash, and higher in NDF (P < .001), ADF (P < .001), cellulose (P < .001), and lignin (P < .01) than bermudagrass. The warm-season grasses were lower in the apparent digestibility of DM (P < .001), NDF (P < .01), ADF (P < .05), cellulose (P < .05), and hemicellulose (P < .01) than …

Assays for deterioration and estimates of feeding value of corn silage
… (R² ) revealed that acid detergent fiber (ADF) and dry matter (DM) explained the largest proportion of variation in IVDOM. The simple regression on the full data set resulted in R² of .352 and .208 with standard errors of the prediction S<sub>y.x</sub> of 5.29 and 5.86 for ADF and DM, …
