This experiment evaluated the maximum tolerable level of inorganic Se fed to growing wether lambs for 1 yr. Sodium selenite was added to provide 0.2, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 ppm Se to a basal diet. Thirty-nine crossbred wether lambs initially weighing 50.2 ± 7.2 lb were randomly allotted to one of six treatments. Both serum and whole blood Se concentrations increased at each collection period as die...

In this paper we present a transformation of finite propositional default theories into socalled propositional argumentation systems. This transformation allows to characterize all notions of Reiter’s default logic in the framework of argumentation systems. As a consequence, computing extensions, or determining wether a given formula belongs to one extension or all extensions can be answered wi...

Abstract Background Over the years teaching has being a radical open approach to boerhaaves. Here at Queen Alexandra Hospital, we wanted show minimally invasive boerhaaves and prove be feasible option, obviously in selected cases under specialist UGI unit. Methods A recording was obtained of case endoscopy with permission. Results We were able contain mediastinal contamination while same time, ...

Glucose turnover parameters were obtained in fed and fasted wethers, ewes and pregnant ewes in their 2nd and 3rd trimesters, using a jugular bolus injection of D-glucose-2-3H. Fasting significantly (P less than 0,05) reduced glucose turnover (c. 40%) in both the wether and the non-pregnant ewe. A somewhat larger difference (c. 54%) between the fed and fasted ewes was found in their 3rd trimeste...
