the effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation

in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.

Non-Lethal Weapons: Striking Experiences in a Non-Cooperative Environment

In missions to stabilize conflicts around the world, the military forces increasingly find themselves operating amongst the people. The emerging need in military interventions to prevent casualties translated into a range of value driven military technological developments, such as non-lethal weapons (NLW). NLWs can be characterized by a certain technological and operational design ’window’ of ...

Defence Scientific Advisory Council Sub-Committee on the Medical Implications of Less-Lethal Weapons (DOMILL) Statement on the Medical Implications of Use of the Taser X26 and M26 Less-Lethal Systems on Children and Vulnerable Adults

2. DOMILL has issued five previous statements relating to the medical implications of the Taser M26 and Taser X26 less-lethal systems. 4 The Taser X26 conducted energy device was introduced into UK policing in 2005 as a replacement for the Taser M26. Recent data from the Home Office Centre for Applied Science and Technology (CAST) indicate that the Taser X26 is the device primarily in use by th...

Female rats are less susceptible during puberty to the lethal effects of percutaneous exposure to VX

Nerve agents with low volatility such as VX are primarily absorbed through the skin when released during combat or a terrorist attack. The barrier function of the stratum corneum may be compromised during certain stages of development, allowing VX to more easily penetrate through the skin. However, age-related differences in the lethal potency of VX have yet to be evaluated using the percutaneo...
