Laboratory animals: Primate supply shrinks

shrinks even small worlds

We consider small world graphs as defined by Kleinberg (2000), i.e., graphs obtained from a ddimensional mesh by adding links chosen at random according to the d-harmonic distribution. In these graphs, greedy routing performs in O(log2 n) expected number of steps. We introduce indirect-greedy routing. We show that giving O(log2 n) bits of topological awareness per node enables indirect-greedy r...

Allergy to laboratory animals in laboratory technicians and animal keepers.

The prevalence of allergy to laboratory animals (LAA) was investigated in laboratory technicians and animal keepers. In a questionnaire 41 of 101 technicians reported symptoms provoked by work with laboratory animals. On clinical investigation 30 were found to have symptoms and signs related to contact with animals, and allergy was confirmed by radioallergosorbent tests (RAST) and skin tests in...

How Wood Shrinks and Swells

Shrinking and swelling play important roles in the utilization and seasoning of wood. The mechanics of shrinking and swelling and the influence of wood structure are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the variability of shrinking and swelling, and the chief reasons for variability. The effects of shrinking and swelling on wood during seasoning and in use are discussed, along with methods of minim...
