How to Manage Excessive Tearing in the Horse

The primary function of the lacrimal system is to produce and drain the tear film from the surface of the eye. The tear film is composed of three integrated layers: the aqueous, mucus, and lipid layers. The aqueous layer is produced by the orbital lacrimal gland and gland of the third eyelid and secreted onto the ocular surface through ductules that traverse the conjunctiva. The mucus layer is ...

Modeling excessive nutrient loading in the environment.

Models addressing excessive nutrient loading in the environment originated over 50 years ago with the simple nutrient concentration thresholds proposed by Sawyer (1947. Fertilization of lakes by agricultural and urban drainage. New Engl. Water Works Assoc. 61, 109-127). Since then, models have improved due to progress in modeling techniques and technology as well as enhancements in scientific k...

Developing a New Decision Support System to Manage Human Reliability based on HEART Method

Human performance and reliability monitoring have become the main issue for many industries since human error ratios cannot be mitigated to the zero level and many accidents, malfunctions, and quality defects are happening due to the human in production systems. Since the human resources implement a different range of tasks, the calculation of human error probability (HEP) is complicated, and s...

Chapter 8 - 7 Nutrient Relations : Fertilization

Fertilization Effects We often learn about things in science by serendipity. And when it comes to learning about bryophytes in ecosystems, we often learn by what we do to their neighboring tracheophytes. Hence, when we fertilize our gardens or add fertilizers to restore impoverished land, the bryophytes respond along with the intended tracheophytic plants. In general, fertilizers are detrimenta...
