A new enzyme immunoassay (EIA), PREMIER Cryptococcal Antigen, was compared with latex agglutination (LA) for the detection and quantitation of circulating capsular polysaccharide antigen from Cryptococcus neoformans. The clinical evaluation EIA as a screening assay, including 475 specimens 120 LA positives, resulted in 99% sensitivity 97% specificity. included sera cerebrospinal fluids well 10 rheumatoid factor-positive 20 anti-nuclear antibody-positive serum samples. This monoclonal...
Applied to skin color, the sexual selection hypothesis proposes that male preference for light-skinned females explains presence of light in areas low solar radiation. According this proposal, high radiation, natural dark overrides universal males females. But which ceases act, becomes more important, and causes human populations become light-skinned, be lighter than males. The dimorphism color should positively correlated with distance from equator. We tested prediction increase increasing...
Abstract A simple timing protocol was developed to monitor chromogen conversion in an enzyme immunoassay, performed microtiter plates, for the detection of antibody Brucella abortus bovine serum. Application this decreased inter-plate coefficient variation from 28.6% 6.8% when optical density (OD) values, subsequent reaction a standard reagent, were compared static development time. Substantial reductions also observed low titered seropositive and seronegative control reagents. The based on...

Four crows were trained to key peck for food. Then, they exposed a positive response contingency that required them the when it was illuminated briefly (the trial) in order receive This procedure resulted consistent within-trial pecking. When changed so food presented at end of trial no occurred, but terminated immediately and omitted occurred (negative contingency), responding decreased markedly. Eight pigeons studied under same change contingencies. These birds varied their histories from...
A fluorescence polarization assay (FPA) for detection of antibody to Brucella abortus in individual milk samples was developed and validated. Samples from 190 cattle which B. isolated; herds infected with (n = 1086) positive the ring test (MRT), as well Canadian (with no evidence brucellosis, n 2974) were tested by indirect enzyme immunoassay (IELISA) FPA. The sensitivity (based on culture cattle) specificity samples) IELISA FPA 100%. relative value obtained values 98.5 99.9%, respectively....
Fluorescence polarization assay (FPA) is a homogeneous technique which was applied to the serological diagnosis of bovine brucellosis. Because its simplicity and because it may be performed very rapidly, an ideal test adapt field use. The FPA used cattle on six dairy farms in Baja California, Mexico. Anticoagulated blood, serum, milk were collected from each animal. anticoagulated blood tested immediately farm while serum subsequently laboratory. Cattle one (n = 140) thought not infected...

Key pecking for food was shaped in four crows within a conventional operant-conditioning test chamber. When stabilized, metal screen with openings 2.5 cm high by 1.0 wide, placed over the response key, so that crow could still see but no longer peck key. At same time, several dozen wooden matchsticks, which be used to operate were The made use of these during 50 75 hr exposure this condition. Subsequently, behavior two they approached picked one up their beaks, key matchstick beak, and...
