The association between parturient hypocalcemia and 8 periparturient disorders (dystocia, retained fetal placenta, metritis, left displaced abomasum, foot problems, ketosis, mastitis, coliform mastitis) was evaluated in 33 Holstein dairy herds (2,190 cows) that calved from March 1981 through February 1982. There were highly significant (P less than 0.0001) associations dystocia, mastitis. odds ratios (multiplicative increases occurrence) for these 6.5, 3.2, 8.9, 8.1, respectively. a...

AV technologies have the potential to transform urban landscapes and existing transport systems networks. Yet, utopian imaginary of reduced automobile ownership a new shared economic future sits in tension with suggestions that car dependency, sprawl inaccessibility will be exacerbated. The issues are situated complex governance landscape involving an influential private sector who increasingly setting agenda. public may forced into reacting innovations by information technology companies as...

The redevelopment of railway stations and their surroundings has been high on the agenda European cities for more than two decades. An evolving set factors fuelled these initiatives. Driving forces include expansion upgrading rail infrastructure, reduced demand industrial space in central urban locations, privatization railways, efforts to increase attractiveness cities, quest sustainable development - last but not least spatial dynamics contemporary society. Across different years...

This article reviews the literature on current “best practice” principles for planning public transport (PT) networks within context of planners seeking to transition their cities toward sustainable mobility. An overview is provided history ideas about network development. The emerging frontiers multimodal, demand-responsive PT and potential implications new technology traditional are discussed. future role transit-oriented development structures considered. “moderators” design that may...

Splenomegaly confirmed by surgery or necropsy in 100 dogs was diagnosed histologically as benign neoplasia (n = 1), primary splenic malignancy 59), neoplastic metastases 6), and nonneoplastic disease 34). Dogs with known systemic disease, such lymphoma mast cell tumor, that caused splenomegaly were not included the study. Hemangiosarcoma most common (43 cases). Overall mean age of 10.7 years, breed German Shepherd dog, 72 weighed more than 21 kg. anemia, nucleated red blood cells, abnormal...

This study investigated changes in Australian children's independent mobility levels between1991 and 2012. Data from five cross-sectional studies conducted 1991, 1993, 2010, 2011 2012 were analysed. Parent child surveys used to assess parental licences for actual behaviour children aged 8–13 years. Findings show declines the proportion of young (≤10 years age) being allowed travel home school alone (1991: 68%, 1993: 50%, 2010: 43%, 2011: 45%, 2012: 31%) on buses 31%, 15%, 8%, 6%, 9%)....

Australian cities have observed a "consensus turn" expressed as broad public support of greater accessibility and transport provision revealed in metropolitan strategic plans. In contrast large-scale road projects proposed to traverse the inner-city three major reveals an ongoing deep-seated attachment by some car-based travel urban planning. Comparative case studies these Melbourne, Sydney Perth explores impact that antagonistic relationship between state community has on culture Through...

The potential for residents of smaller urban and rural areas to benefit from sustainable accessibility is an under-researched area. This paper explores important every-day amenities within short travel times how this differs across geography mode travel. analysis draws on a combination novel open-source data the transport system official Swedish register total population individuals workplaces geocoded at 100-meter resolution. findings show considerable variation in everyday by different...

Of 82 dogs with thyroid carcinoma seen between January 1981 and October 1989, 20 had freely movable tumors without evidence of metastasis were treated surgical excision alone. Uncensored mean median survival times for these both 20.5 months. Kaplan-Meier analysis, which censors nontumor-related deaths lost to follow-up, indicated that time was greater than 36 Seven died tumor-related causes: 2 because or local recurrence the tumor, 5 treatment-related complications (eg, laryngeal paralysis,...

Summary One hundred eighty-five dogs with histologically confirmed, measurable malignant tumors were used in a study to determine the toxicity of anthracycline antitumor antibiotic, doxorubicin, which was administered once or twice (at 21-day interval) at rate 30 mg/m 2 body surface area, iv . During this study, 7 died as direct result doxorubicin-induced toxicosis and 16 neoplastic disease. Each dog evaluated for signs 3 weeks after last dose (15 received 1 dose, 170 doses) until died,...

There is a growing recognition by city policymakers that urban public transport systems can be developed in such way travelers offered an alternative to car-based travel. How evolve the system for this purpose significant challenge and raises questions of accessibility quality largely absent from current planning evaluation. This paper explores use performance measures, both assess extent as potential metric future investment. The Spatial Network Analysis Multimodal Urban Transport Systems...
