Suppose More Rabbits Are Born

چکیده
How would Fibonaccis age-old sequence be redefined if, instead of bearing one pair of baby rabbits per month, the mature rabbits bear two pairs of baby rabbits per month? The answer is an intriguing sequence that has led to the development of what are herein defined as "multi-nacci sequences of the order q <," where q is the number of rabbit pairs per litter. Table 1 illustrates the sequence with q = 2. Table 1

Studies on Experimental Rickets
Our observations show that young rabbits born of mothers afflicted with Schistosomum japonicum develop typical rickets. Rickets can also be produced if we infect the young, healthy rabbits with the same parasite. It is natural to suppose that the rachitic changes are caused by the parasite itself. Since, however, a similar disease can be produced in the offspring, when the mother is fed on egg ...
متن کاملMother-to-offspring transmission of human T cell leukemia virus type I in rabbits.
We studied the mode of natural transmission of human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) in rabbits. Four virus-infected rabbits (2 males and 2 females) were individually mated with 4 noninfected rabbits. Two virus-infected females mated with noninfected males gave birth to 7 offspring, and 2 noninfected females mated with infected males delivered 5 offspring. Four of the seven offspring born...

A. The catalytic activity of the tissues of newly born and adult rabbits. 1. There is practically no difference between the catalytic power of the blood, brain or muscle of newly born and adult rabbits. 2. The kidneys and lungs are less active in the newly born, but increase rapidly during the first days of life. 3. The liver is more active in the newly born than in the adult rabbit. B. The cat...
متن کاملEstablishment of a SPF colony of human apo(a) transgenic rabbits by frozen-thawed embryo transfer.
In the present study, embryo transfer was performed using frozen-thawed embryos to establish a SPF colony of human apolipoprotein (a) (apo(a)) transgenic rabbits. Apo(a) transgenic rabbits were kept under conventional condition and were infected with Bordetella bronchiseptica. Embryos at the morula stage were collected and stored in liquid nitrogen. After thawing, the in vitro survival rate was...
متن کاملPROPOSAL OF A NEST BOX FOR THE REPRODUCTION OF WILD RABBITS (Oryctolagus cuniculus) IN CAGES
This paper reports on the design of a nest box consisting of two compartments for the breeding in cages of wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The first compartment was a chamber measuring on the inside 17 × 23 × 20 cm (base and height), conforming to the small body size of the wild rabbit and similar to its breeding burrows. A plastic tray was placed inside the chamber, in which the doe coul...
