be regarded as one of the most stressful events in a horse’s life and the condition is rapidly fatal without intervention. Knowles and Mair (2009) present clinical data on an unusual case of total volvulus of the ascending colon associated with multiple mesenteric abnormalities in a yearling Friesian colt. Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the human gastrointestinal...

It is well accepted that diagrams play a crucial role in human reasoning. But in mathematics, diagrams are most often only used for visualizations, but it is doubted that diagrams are rigor enough to play an essential role in a proof. This paper takes the opposite point of view: It is argued that rigor formal logic can carried out with diagrams. In order to do that, it is first analyzed which p...

The high infrared quantum yield, continuous absorption spectrum, and band edge tunability of colloidal quantum dots (QD) has opened up new opportunities to use luminescent down shifting for multispectral imaging in the infrared. We demonstrate a QD sensitized short wavelength infrared (SWIR) camera which is capable of UV-SWIR multispectral imaging. The application of multispectral cameras for U...

Substitution—customers' ability to choose among comparable products—is a key factor in economic competition, as it prevents any one seller from charging inordinately high prices. If two products are sufficiently similar the customer's perspective, an increase price of will generally drive customers other, thereby reducing overall revenue for company that charges higher It is not difficult find ...

The requirement of professional supervision within the health, justice and social service sector in New Zealand has increased greatly since the advent of the Health Practitioners Competency Assurance Act (HCPA 2003). As supervision is seen as a key vehicle for continuing development of professional skills, the demand for trained and competent supervisors has increased, with the resultant gap be...

Split-root techniques were used to determine if Cycas edentata seedling roots possessed identity recognition capabilities. One compartment of the split-root containers contained a competing half-sibling seedling, and the second compartment contained one of four treatments. When the second compartment contained a half-sibling or C. edentata seedling from the same habitat, root growth did not dif...

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is considered to constitute the highest stage of neural integration and be devoted representation production actions. Studies in primates have laid foundation for theories regarding principles function provided mechanistic insights. recent surge studies PFC mice holds promise evolvement present development novel concepts, particularly shared across mammals. Here we r...

Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative disease found in many aging adults. The presence of amyloid precursor protein (APP) is an early indicator of the onset of Alzheimer’s, primarily in memory-related brain regions like the hippocampus. Hormones accompanying pregnancy, such as estrogen, may provide the female brain with protection against neurodegeneration and deposits of APP. The present study...
