A time–frequency analysis-based signal processing study for detecting active corrosion in aluminum plate-like structure utilizing the broadband piezoelectric wafer active sensors is presented in this article. Tests were conducted on an aluminum plate with a network of sensors installed on one side of the plate for Lamb wave generation and reception. The corrosion was emulated as material loss o...

the pharmacokinetics of cefpirome after a single intravenous injection of 10 mg.kg -1 was studied in febrile cross-bred calves. e. coli endotoxin was administered intravenously to induce fever in calves. blood samples were collected at different time intervals and cefpirome levels were estimated by using microbiological assay technique. based on the plasma drug levels, the pharmacokinetic param...

the present study was conducted on five healthy male cross bred calves to study the kinetic dispositionand urinary excretion of levofloxacin following its single subcutaneous administration at the dose of4 mg.kg-1. the concentration of levofloxacin in plasma and urine samples was estimated by microbiologicalassay. peak plasma level of levofloxacin (2.8 ± 0.3 μg.ml-1) was observed at 45 min and ...

Among the morbid conditions of the rabbit observed in a breeding colony maintained for the study of constitutional factors in health and disease (1), bone abnormalities of various types were observed and certain of them were found to have an hereditary basis. The manifestations of the conditions varied greatly. In achondroplasia (2) and osteopetrosis (3), for example, there were widespread bone...

The contribution of genetic and phenotypic parameters affecting fleece traits in 3/4th bred 2425 Bharat Merino Lambs sired by 154 rams over period of 1982-96 was evaluated. The year and season of shearing, sex of lamb, type of birth, age and weight of lamb contributed 8 to 42% of the phenotypic variability in the fleece traits. The least square means for the first and second six monthly greasy ...

The Iberian pig is an autochthonous animal bred from the southwestern area of Spain. Its dry-cured ham is one of the most appreciated meat products of our country. It has been proved that juiciness and acceptance of meat is mainly influenced by its fat content, either in calf, pig and lamb meat. Chemical procedure is currently the only proved way to determine meat intramuscular fat (IMF) level....
