چکیده

Understanding of ruminant placental structure and function is essential for veterinarians and researchers. The ruminant placenta is classified as cotyledonary and synepitheliochorial on the bases of its gross anatomical features and histological characteristics respectively. The richly vascularized embryonic chorioallantois is lined on its outer surface by cells of the trophectodermal epithelium. These cells which assume specialized functions are referred to as trophoblast cells. Two morphologically and functionally distinct cell types have been recognized in the trophectoderm of the placenta of ruminant animals. These are the mononucleate trophoblast cells and the binucleate trophoblast cells. The occurrence, morphological characteristics, and specialized functions of these trophoblast cells, in relation to conceptus nutrition and survival in utero are discussed in this review.

Anisotropic singular perturbations of linear hyperbolic problems are considered. A description of the asymptotic behaviour of the solution as ε → 0 is given. In the case of cylindrical domains, we improve the rate of convergence in regions far from the lateral boundary.

Some random fixed point theorems for set-valued random operators under very mild conditions are established. Some recent results of O'Regan ([Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 126 (1998), 3045-3053] and [Computers Math. Applic. 35 (1998), 27-34]) are improved significantly. The discussion in this paper underlines, in addition to generality, the unifying aspects of our result.
