Long-term tests are bioassays for carcinogenicity using animals (mainly rats or mice) as testers. Targets of the carcinogenic action are either organs or the whole body of the tester animal studied by dissection and histochemical analysis. These bioassays are not suitable for the study of a large number of substances because they are time consuming, expensive, require special facilities and qua...

As a result of much computat ion linguistic research in the 1970's, natural language (NL) processors have begun to rival more formal means of computer access in some instances. Unfortunately, very little is known, even by applied NL researchers themselves, about the true capabilities of existing systems. This is partly due to the fact that most l i terature, at least in journals such as this on...

CAS is an innovative partnership program between the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation and the University of Western Sydney. The core aim of the program is to create and communicate a positive a...

Aims: The objective of this study was to determine the plasma concentration of butorphanol injected intravenously at 4mg/kg dose in Northern Royal Albatross and compare the pharmacokinetic parameters with that of broiler chickens. Methods: The plasma concentration of butorphanol was analysed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by non-compart...

To scrutinize the status of murine virus infections among laboratory rodents in Japan, animals from commercial breeders and various research institutions including this institute have b...

There is an increasing interest in life-course epidemiology (Ben-Shlomo 2007; Ben-Shlomo and Kuh 2002), with the quantification of the effects of exposures over long periods of time. For example, several papers recently have examined the effects of socioeconomic position at different stages of life, and changes in that exposure between these stages, on outcomes including risk of stroke and resp...

It is without question that “‘[d]etermination of the proper coverage of an insurance contract when the facts are not in dispute is a question of law’”, i.e., a legal determination. Tennant v. Smallwood, 211 W.Va. 703, 568 S.E.2d 10, 13 (2002) (citations omitted). Nevertheless, it is not uncommon for a party seeking coverage in a declaratory judgment action to identify an “expert witness” to tes...
