Vet Med Today: Facts & Figures 795 I cooperation with the 28 US schools and colleges of veterinary medicine, the AVMA conducted an annual survey of veterinary medical graduates in spring 2010 (Appendix). Information on veterinary graduates’ employment choices, salaries, and educational indebtedness was collected from 2,396 survey respondents, representing 93.9% of all graduates. All schools par...

The anchoring theory of lightness perception (Gilchrist et al., Psychological Review 106 (1999) 795-834) has been described as one of the most successful approaches to lightness perception. Yet, not only does the original proposal contain serious gaps and inconsistencies, later expressions of the theory, which was never formally revised, seem to contradict the original claims while leaving the ...

The hair follicle is a complex mini-organ that undergoes continuous cycles of growth and regeneration. Hair cycling depends on tightly coordinated crosstalk between epithelial cells, fibroblasts, immune adipocytes. Recent studies demonstrated in addition to metabolic dysregulation neurocognitive impairment, mice are genetically deficient leptin (ob/ob) or its receptor (db/db) exhibit prolonged ...

Tuna are large pelagic fish whose populations are close to panmixia. In addition, they are threatened species, so it is important for the maintenance and monitoring of genetic diversity that genetic information at a genome level be obtained. Here we report the draft assembly of the southern bluefin tuna genome and the collection of genome-wide sequence data for five other tuna species. We sampl...

In this work we present the formation of laser induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on spin-coated thin films of several model aromatic polymers including poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(trimethylene terephthalate) and poly carbonate bis-phenol A upon irradiation with femtosecond pulses of 795 and 265 nm at fluences well below the ablation threshold. LIPSS are formed with period lengt...

BACKGROUND Obesity is a complex problem that is now considered a chronic metabolic disease. In Korea, phentermine has been widely used for the treatment of obesity in the primary care setting since 2004. However, there have been very few studies on the safety and efficacy of phentermine. To investigate the safety and efficacy of this drug, a postmarketing surveillance study was performed. MET...
