Tiger Behavior

Tiger stripes.

On occasion a high amplitude band-like signal is noted on Doppler spectral recordings of valvular regurgitation (Fig. 1). However, clinically these “tiger stripes” are most often noted with porcine mitral prosthetic valves (Fig. 2), and may be indicative of an acute flail prosthetic leaflet.1–5 These band-like signals appear to be associated with an intracardiac oscillating structure,6 with the...

Tiger 700

This paper documents the TIGER 700 RMRS Treebank which has been obtained as the result of a software project. The treebank is a semantic projection from a subset of the TIGER Dependency Bank and was derived automatically, using treebank conversion methods. In a second phase, it will be manually validated and corrections will be made as necessary, supported by an interactive editing tool.

Probable Tiger-to-Tiger Transmission of Avian Influenza H5N1

During the second outbreak of avian influenza H5N1 in Thailand, probable horizontal transmission among tigers was demonstrated in the tiger zoo. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of those viruses showed no differences from the first isolate obtained in January 2004. This finding has implications for influenza virus epidemiology and pathogenicity in mammals.

TIGER TRANSFER From LFG Structures to the TIGER Treebank

His consultant replied, in an incredulous tone, “You can’t study medical ethics!” The main danger of the osmosis theory is that it can perpetuate bad habits, carefully developed over years of unethical conduct. Another possibility, equally uncharitable, is that the decision makers in the surgical community, whose own training perhaps contained little e...
