The creation of value is a critical factor that determines the competitive capacity of firms and their ability to survive.Notwithstanding its importance, value creation usually becomes a fuzzy concept that is difficult to grasp, especially when increasingly complex elements of reality are incorporated into its analysis.Building on the narrative of
Dairy heifers were subjected to a non-life-threatening challenge designed to induce ruminal acidosis by feeding grain and sugar.Large among animal variation in clinical signs of acidosis, rumen metabolite concentrations, and the rumen microbiome occurred.This exploratory study investigates sources of the variation by examining associations between
Abstract Background Methods for estimating variance components (VC) using restricted maximum likelihood (REML) typically require elements from the inverse of the coefficient matrix of the mixed model equations (MME).As genomic information becomes more prevalent, the coefficient matrix of the MME becomes denser, presenting a challenge for analyzing
The use of catheters and bladder catheters in hospitals can increase the risk of bacterial infections.This study aimed to identify the bacterial strains involved in catheter-related infections (CRI) in southern Benin hospitals.The study included 407 samples, including 95 catheter tip samples and 312 urine samples collected from bladder catheters fr
