This research paper describes applicability of mobile laser scanning in road depression measurements. The research was commissioned by the Finnish Transport Agency and performed by Destia Ltd. The applicability was researched by examining accuracy, precision, and repeatability of the mobile laser scanning technology. Two about one kilometre long road segments near Porvoo, Finland, were chosen f...

The catalytic ox&&Ion of mtnc oxide to mtrogen &oxide m the presence of sulphur dioxide over a standard Pt/S102 catalyst (EuroPt-1) was stuched The gas-phase reactions between mtnc oxide, sulphur choxlde and oxygen were found to be ms~gmficant under the expenmental conditions concerned The Pt/S102 catalyst was observed to be very actwe m catalyzing the reactions both of NO+ 0, to NO, and of SO2...

This study was conducted at the Bukhara breeding centre (Ouzbekistan, Central Asia) on Persian gazelles (Gazella subgutturosa subgutturosa) and at Thumammah (Saudi Arabia) on sand gazelles (Gazella subgutturosa marica). Plasma prolactin (PRL) and progesterone were determined in groups of females. Because these females were under two different photoperiods (20 degrees N in Saudi Arabia and 40 de...

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are natural phytotoxins found in thousands of plant species around the world. They are probably the most common poisonous plants affecting livestock, wildlife and humans. The disease occurs almost entirely as a consequence of chronic poisoning and in general ends fatally. In the present study, PAs poisoning was investigated in a gazelle with hepatic encephalopathy ...

This case report describes intracytoplasmic crystalline inclusions in the hepatocytes of a 13-year-old female Thomson's gazelle. Histologically, multifocal to coalescing areas of many hepatocytes contained large cytoplasmic vacuoles filled with pale eosinophilic homogeneous material and rare fine basophilic granules. Von Kossa staining showed the presence of calcium within cytoplasm, mainly in ...

Herpesviruses occasionally cause lethal infection in alien hosts by interspecies transmission such as B virus infection in humans from Macaques and pseudorabies virus infection in various animals from pigs. Most of the infection can be characterized as lethal encephalitis. One of typical examples is equine herpesvirus 9 (EHV-9), also called as gazelle herpesvirus 1 (GHV-1), which was isolated f...
