Although the United States produces 203 million lb (ca. 92.1 kg) of domestic lamb and mutton each year, thorough studies of the microbiological safety during lamb processing are lacking. To address this missing information, a total of 2,548 sponge samples from pelts, preevisceration carcasses, and postintervention carcasses were collected from multiple large commercial lamb processing plants to...

The radiative correction to the nuclear charge radius contribution to the Lamb shift of order α(Zα)5m3r < r 2 > is calculated. In view of the recent high precision experimental data, this theoretical correction produces a significant contribution to the hydrogen-deuterium isotopic shift.

Piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWAS) are inexpensive, non-intrusive, unobtrusive devices that can be surface-mounted on existing structures or inserted between the layers of new composite structures. The PWAS can be used in both active and passive modes. PWAS generate and detect Lamb waves and enable the development of embedded NDE concepts. This paper will present two embedded NDE concept...

The correlations between the bacteriologic agent of lamb pneumonia and its pathologic characters were investigated in this study. Pneumonia was detected in 262 (35.41%) of 740 diseased or dead lambs. Pathogenic bacteria were isolated in 114 cases (14.96% of all lamb deaths and 43.51% of all pneumonias). Lung lesions were histopathologically described as acute-catarrhal (17.56%), catarrhal-purul...

The rate at which an initially pure field state goes into mixture is calculated for the single-mode laser under the detailed balance condition. It is shown that the field state similar to the coherent state originally suggested by M. O. Scully and W. E. Lamb, Jr. is selected as the most stable state among squeezed states, and that the speed of whole decoherence process is strongly dependent on ...

We carefully analyze the WFPC2 and STIS images of GRB970228. We measure magnitudes for the GRB970228 point source component in the WFPC2 images of V = 26.20 −0.13, Ic = 23.94 +0.10 −0.09 and V = 26.52 +0.16 −0.18, Ic = 24.31 +0.15 −0.11 on March 26 and April 7, respectively; and Rc = 27.09 +0.14 −0.14 on September 4 in the STIS image. For the extended component, we measure magnitudes of Rc = 25...

skeletal abnormalities are most often used to describe defects in the arms or legs that are associated with genes or chromosomes, or that occur due to an event that happens during pregnancy. spider lamb syndrome (sls) is a congenital disorder in sheep breeding that is recognized by some deformities in skeletal system especially in the limbs.a dead day-old cross-breed white lamb with deformed li...

S E Lamb and colleagues (Feb 14, p 575) investigated the eff ectiveness of three types of mechanical support for acute ankle sprains and found that a short period of immobilisation with a below-knee cast resulted in better ankle function than a tubular compression bandage. Clinically important benefi ts (foot and ankle score) were found at 3 months’ follow-up with the belowknee cast; however, n...

2015 © American Water Works Association JOURNAL AWWA OCTOBER 2015 | 107:10 Tularemia is an acute febrile zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. Shortly after the initial isolation of the organism in Tulare County, Calif. (McCoy & Chapin 1912), the first case of a human infection was reported from Cincinnati, Ohio (Wherry & Lamb 1914). The first documented waterborne ou...
