has been done of late years on the chemistry of pathological processes. The subject of Chemical Pathology is in its infancy, but it is fairly certain that the future of Pathology and even of Medicine will be closely bound up in it. Hitherto Pathology has been concerned chiefly with morphological questions, and rightly so, for the morphological problems are much easier to solve than the chemical...

The corrosion protection of petroleum storage tank is important for safety work in petroleum depot. Precise prediction of soleplate corrosion may reflect the security state of a storage tank, and it can provide scientific references to the anti-corrosion and maintenance in safety management. Grey Model GM (1,1) in the Grey Theory is a good prediction method based on small volume of original dat...

Leaf-cutting ants are well known for their highly complex social organization, which provides them with a strong defense against parasites invading their colonies. Besides this attribute, these insects have morphological, physiological and structural characteristics further reinforcing the defense of their colonies. With the discovery of symbiotic bacteria present on the integument of leaf-cutt...

ARSENIC poisoning in livestock may be caused by arsenic trioxide (white arsenic), paris green, sodium arsenite, and sodium arsenate. Arsenic has been a common cause of accidental and criminal poisoning of animals because it often is used to kill insects, parasites, weeds, and rodents and as a tonic for animals. Arsenic compounds usually are palatable to animals, especially when they are hungry ...
