Spectral photon-counting CT offers novel potentialities to achieve quantitative decomposition of material components, in comparison with traditional energy-integrating CT or dual-energy CT. Nonetheles…
We studied the leaching of copper and zinc from particles of discarded boat paint added to tap water (pH 7.3) and rain water (pH=4.7), simulating conditions encountered during the hosing or runoff of …
In a standing wave tank responses of fish to sound stimuli used to investigate the hearing capacity of fish may perhaps be affected by unintended stimulation of the lateral line. Uniform oscillatory w…
Four rumen-cannulated calves were used in a block design to study changes in rumen fermentation end-products and rumen digesta kinetics after weaning. Calves were weaned at 5 wk of age and had access …
In normal rats, glomerular plasma flow rates (GPF) were estimated from the uptake of microspheres, and single-nephron filtration rates were estimated by Hanssen's technique in order to calculate singl…
Although food reward plays a large role in learning and behavioral experiments, there have been few studies examining the most motivating food reward for pigeons. Brown (1969) found that pigeons had a…
As-fabricated deep reactive ion etched (DRIE) silicon mold with very high aspect ratio (>10) feature patterns is unsuitable for poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) replication because of the strong interact…
Phthalates are synthetic contaminants released into the environment notably by plastic waste. Semi-volatile, they adsorb to atmospheric particles and get distributed in all ecosystems. Effects of this…
Electric relaxation of a non-uniform membrane was considered during potential clamp. It is shown that in the case of non-uniformity as a high narrow potential barrier in the middle and deep holes alon…
Recently it has been observed that Ca excretion in laboratory rats does not follow a Gaussian distribution, with approximately 10% of them excreting Ca at a rate of 2 SD above the group mean. This phe…
Low birthweight is a risk factor for later adverse health. Here the impact of placentally mediated prenatal growth restriction followed by postnatal nutrient abundance on growth, glucose metabolism an…
To estimate the prevalence of some zoonotic tick-borne pathogens in red deer (Cervus elaphus) living in Italian areas with high risk of arthropod exposure, blood samples from 60 red deer were tested b…
Measurements of total, filterable and DGT-labile concentrations of nine metals (Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Ni and Zn) have been made at five sites up to 4.2km from a deep sea tailings outfall operate…
BACKGROUND: Surgical site infections (SSIs) after neurosurgery are potentially life-threatening and entail great costs. SSIs may occur from airborne bacteria in the operating room, and ultraclean air …
Despite great general benefits derived from plastic use, accumulation of plastic material in ecosystems, and especially microplastic, is becoming an increasing environmental concern. Microplastic has …
Effect of wheat bran on the vitamin status of rats adequately provided with vitamins or insufficiently supplied with vitamins has been investigated. 32 male Wistar weaning rats (initial body mass--49-…
Although behavioral and endocrine consequences of acute exposure to stressors have been extensively studied, little is known about how simultaneous exposure to two different stressors interacts to ind…
The prevalence of Pasteurella multocida, a cause of bovine respiratory disease, was studied in a random sample of beef suckler and dairy farms throughout Scotland, by means of a cross-sectional survey…
Maternal folate status during pregnancy may influence central nervous system (CNS) development in offspring. However, the recommended intakes of folic acid for women of childbearing age differ among c…
Formation of intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds in 2-thiophen-3-ylmalonic acid, the precursor of a polythiophene derivative bearing two carboxylic acid groups in the side chain, have been examin…
