The inhibitory effects of major long-chain fatty acids (LCFA), which have 16 or 18 carbons, not only on acetate degradation, but also on propionate degradation and β-oxidation were examined in anaerobic serum bottle tests at 35°C with the acclimated granular sludges. A modified Gompertz equation described cumulative methane production to assess the rates of VFA degradation and β-oxidation, whic...

Appendix A: Details on methods of spatial pattern analysis. The pair-correlation function g(r) is based on the distances between all pairs of points of a given point pattern. The estimator used for the pair correlation function is shown in equation A1. In essence, the univariate quantity λg(r) gives the expected density of neighbours in a ring of radius r and ring-width of dr around an “average...

Increases in physician office visits involving the use or prescribing of a drug were observed between 1985 and 1999 using data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey. The prescription rate increased from 109 to 146 prescriptions per 100 visits. Growth in drug mention rates for specific therapeutic classes varied by patients' age. The rate of multiple prescriptions per visit rose 39 pe...

The set of viable design elements available for animals to use in building skeletons has been fully exploited. Analysis of animal skeletons in relation to the multivariate, theoretical "Skeleton Space" has shown that a large proportion of these options are used in each phylum. Here, we show that structural elements deployed in the skeletons of Burgess Shale animals (Middle Cambrian) incorporate...

Aim: Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most common surgical emergency in the world, and its diagnosis is mainly dependent on clinical findings. Recently, secretion of CA125 from peritoneal cells due to inflammatory stimulus has been shown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between CA25 levels and AA. Materials and Methods: In this prospective trial, CA125 levels were measured. Gro...
