Cell lines were established from spleen and heart tissues of a juvenile white sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus and designated WSS-2 and WSH-1, respectively. Isoenzyme analyses of both lines confirmed their host of origin. Both lines were hypotetraploid and possessed micro- and macrochromosomes. The modal chromosome number for the WSS-2 line was...
This study compares percent cover of benthic organisms at the species level at Pearl and Hermes
Atoll (PHA), the largest atoll in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, in order to determine 1) the
degree of difference among sites, 2) whether wave exposure zones explain observed patterns in
benthic community structure, and...
Oregon State University researchers made a significant discovery in 1958. They found that the underlying cause of white muscle disease is a dietary deficiency of the trace element selenium (Se). There is a fairly clear-cut relationship between soil, plant, and animal factors. Certain soils, including some formed by volcanic action...
There is a great deal of evidence that altered sphingolipid metabolism is associated with fumonisin-induced
animal diseases including increased apoptotic and oncotic necrosis, and carcinogenesis in
rodent liver and kidney. The biochemical consequences of fumonisin disruption of sphingolipid
metabolism most likely to alter cell regulation are increased free sphingoid bases...
Designed to help ranchers recognize common rabbit diseases. Diseases are classified according to major cause-bacterial, viral, nutritional, hereditary, fungal, and miscellaneous (including poisoning, tumors, and vices). For each disease, the symptoms and treatment are described. Provides advice on packing and shipping specimens for laboratory diagnosis as well. Includes black-and-white photographs...
The L²-error estimates are established for the continuous time Faedo-Galerkin approximation to solutions of a linear parabolic initial boundary value problem that has elliptic part of order 2m. Properties of analytic semigroups are used to obtain these estimates directly from the L²-estimates for the corresponding steady state elliptic problem under...
