چکیده

The motion of eyelids and eyeballs in domestic animals had been recognized well agreement with the sleep depth estimated by spectrum analyses of electroencephalogram at halfclosed eye and fully closed eye. This study aimed at quantitative estimating rest rhythm of horses by the analyses of eyeball movement. The mask attached with a miniature CCD camera was newly developed. The continuous images of the horse eye for about 24 hours were transmitted by telemetry system and were recorded to a time-lapse video recorder. The continuous images were captured hard disc (rate 1 frame / 2 sec), the time information was obtained by OCR technology, the eyeball area was smoothed to average gray values, and done threshold for segmentation. The eyeball area was obtained via image processing and analyzed the spectrum. The temporal trend, the histogram and the spectrum of eyeball area were calculated. As for the results, the fluctuating status of eyeball area was analyzed quantitatively, and the rest rhythm of horses was clearly observed. It is possible to apply this technology to other animals.

Biochemical properties and biological functions of the enzyme rhodanese in domestic animals

The enzyme rhodanese (thiosulfate: cyanide sulfurtransferase) is a ubiquitous enzyme and its activity ispresent in all living organisms. Many functions including cyanide detoxification, formation of iron-sulfurcenters and participation in energy metabolism have been attributed to this enzyme. The enzyme catalyzesthe transfer of a sulfur atom from sulfane containing compounds (such as thiosulfat...

Anthrax of the eyelids.

Anthrax is a disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. The disease affects primarily herbivores including sheep, cattle, horses, and other domestic animals. Humans may rarely be affected. We examined one male and two female patients with a localised itchy erythematous papule of the eyelid. A necrotising ulcer formed in each of the three cases resulting in a black lesion. Scraping in each case showe...
