A new "fast track" system for managing these patients, involving the use of a flow chart for exp...

Abstract This study compared the Zn response in selected tissues of weaned piglets fed L-glutamic acid, N,N-diacetic acid (GLDA), while challenged with short-term subclinical deficiency (SZD). During a total experimental period eight days, 96 were restrictively (450 g/d) high phytate (9 g/kg) diet containing added at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 45 and 75 mg/kg without 200 GLDA. No animals showed sign...

Some characteristic enzymatic activities were determined in chick embryonic cartilage and compared with the analogous activities in bone and liver. Chondrocytes were isolated, broken by sonication, and subjected to subcellular fractionation to yield a nuclear pellet, the mitochondrial, lysosomal, and microsomal fractions, and the high speed supernatant solution. It was established that these fr...

injury, I opened the joint, under spray, by a semilunar-shaped incision, extending from side to side across the front of the joint, its convexity passing over the lower part of the patella. By reflecting upwards the flap thus formed, the patella was completely exposed, and was found broken into five pieces. A horizontal fracture divided the bone into two nearly equal portions which were widely ...

Edge is variation of brightness in an image. Edge detection is useful in many application areas such as finding forests, rivers from a satellite image, detecting broken bone in a medical image etc. The paper discusses about finding edge of multiple aerial images in parallel. The proposed work tested on 38 images 37 colored and one monochrome image. The time taken to process N images in parallel...
