Ice particle interarrival times have been measured with a fast forward scattering spectrometer probe (FSSP). The distribution of is bimodal instead the exponential expected for Poisson process. time modes are located at ∼10−2 and ∼10−4 s. This equates to horizontal spacings on both centimeter meter scales. characteristics well modeled by Markov chain process that couples together two independent processes operating different possibility ice crystals shattering tip causes explored cannot be...

The fusion (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoproteins of the paramyxovirus simian virus 5 (SV5) were expressed individually or coexpressed in CV-1 cells by using SV40-based vectors recombinant vaccinia viruses. extent detectable a syncytium formation assay was found to be affected expression system used. In addition, when HN with F, it that vector influenced contribution forming syncytia. abilities SV5, human parainfluenza type 3, Newcastle disease F cause fusion, alone HN,...

Thrombocytes are the avian equivalent to mammalian platelets. In addition their hemostatic effects, platelets rely in part on pattern recognition receptors, such as Toll-like receptors (TLR), detect presence of pathogens and signal release certain cytokines. Ligands for TLRs include lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which is bound by TLR4, well unmethylated CpG DNA motifs, TLR9 mammals TLR21 chickens. Similar platelets, thrombocytes have been shown express TLR4 secrete some pro-inflammatory...

Two cell lines of human T lymphocytes (H9 and CEM) chronically infected with isolates or simian immunodeficiency viruses were examined by electron microscopy. Scanning microscopy H9 cells showed characteristic morphological changes in the after infection lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-IIIB); these included loss microvilli their replacement rounded surface protrusions. Virus particles present over whole surface, but more numerous between, rather than on, In contrast, CEM three other little...

To systematically examine evidence surrounding definitions and reporting of data for viscoelastic testing in veterinary medicine.Standardized, systematic evaluation the literature, categorization relevant articles according to level quality, development consensus on conclusions application concepts clinical practice.Academic referral medical centers.Databases searched included Medline, CAB abstracts, Google Scholar.All 4 standard thromboelastography (TEG) rotational thromboelastometry...

Abstract Objectives To describe coagulation abnormalities in dogs following severe acute trauma and to evaluate the relationship between coagulation, clinical, laboratory variables, disease injury severity, as well ability of variables predict presence body cavity hemorrhage (BCH), necessity blood product administration, outcome. Design Prospective, multicenter, observational study. Setting Two university teaching hospitals. Animals Forty client‐owned sustaining blunt or penetrating trauma....

Splenic masses are common in dogs and vary dramatically their clinical behavior. Clinically, even with histology, it can be challenging to differentiate between benign malignant splenic masses. Hemangiosarcoma (HSA), the most malignancy of spleen, is a very aggressive tumor poor prognosis. We hypothesize that microRNAs (miRNAs) mass tissue serum HSA other Fifty-nine miRNAs were investigated by reverse-transcription followed real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and/or...

ABSTRACT Background Measurement of rivaroxaban efficacy using the rivaroxaban‐specific anti‐Xa assay (raXa) can be used for monitoring in veterinary medicine. Detection other hemostatic tests would make timelier and more accessible. Objectives Compare results raXa with prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin (aPTT), fibrinogen concentration, tissue factor (TF) kaolin‐activated thromboelastography (TEG), thrombin generation (TG) hypercoagulable dogs. Animals Twelve...

This paper demonstrates the use of genetic algorithms (GAs) for size optimization trusses. The concept rebirthing is shown to be considerably effective problems involving continuous design variables. Some benchmark examples are studied 4‐bar, 10‐bar, 64‐bar, 200‐bar and 940‐bar two‐dimensional Both discrete variables considered.

• The air-conduction noise levels in the external and middle ear generated by drilling suction during temporal bone surgery were measured. Variables included diamond burrs, cutting two different air drills (Hall Stryker), an electric drill (Emesco), with without irrigation. results show that single factor contributing highest level is irrigation, which exposes ipsilateral to averaging up 107 dB (A). average of range from 65 96 (A) varying burr used. Simultaneous irrigation ranging 91 108...

Abstract A correlation is geven between two notations currently used in the formulation of geometrically non‐linear analysis a Lagrangian co‐ordinate system. The first referred to as B‐notation results linear elastic, initial displacement and stress matrices, whilst second, here called N‐notation features matrices that repeat total potential energy, equilibrium incremental equations. An explicit example presented for pin‐jointed bar element.

To identify serum biochemical and hematologic variables, as measured in the week before parturition, that predict postpartum retention of placenta (RP) dairy cows.Retrospective cohort study.1,038 cows 20 commercial herds.Serum concentrations fatty acids (FAs), beta-hydroxybutyrate, cholesterol, glucose, urea, calcium blood leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophil counts were determined. These variables evaluated for an association with development RP by use a multivariate...

Background: Serial monitoring of acute phase protein (APP) concentrations in canine autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) has not been reported. Hypotheses: Acute AIHA is accompanied by an response (APR) characterized increased C‐reactive (CRP) and α1‐acid glycoprotein (AAG) decreased albumin concentrations. Animals: Twenty‐seven dogs with 11 control dogs. Methods: Prospective, cohort study. CRP, AAG, concentrations, white blood cell (WBC) count, packed volume (PCV) were determined at admission...
