The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of increased movement on different landscapes of lactating ewes and goats on bone metabolism. A group of five adult lactating ewes and goats was kept on pasture at 2000 to 2600 m a.s.l. and 400 m a.s.l., respectively. Two ewes and goats were equipped with a GPS receiver in order to calculate daily tracks on the alpine landscape. The milk y...

On cattle, sheep and pig farms, it is common to see house mice and not uncommon to see brown rats, while evidence of their presence in the form of numerous small dark droppings is rarely hard to find. These two species of rodents specialise in exploiting agricultural and urban environments and are particularly attracted by the easy availability of animal feed and by safe harbourage in and aroun...

The Cornell Electron Storage Ring is the laboratory for the CESR Test Accelerator damping ring R&D program, and the source of x-rays for the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source. A peculiarity of the layout of the storage ring is that horizontal emittance is generated predominantly by the strong bends in the sextant of the ring that was designed with a long straight to accommodate the interac...

chosen to illustrate various themes in the emergence and evolution of chiropractic theory and therapy within the American medical environment. These reflections on the survival of a medical alternative are directed first to the nineteenth-century environment of manual (bonesetting) and harmonial (magnetism, spiritualism) healing traditions so as to expose the roots of the peculiar blend of "poe...

Historically synchrotrons have provided economical particle acceleration. Here we explore a very fast ramping muon synchrotron [1] for a neutrino factory [2]. The accelerated muons are stored in a racetrack to produce neutrino beams (μ− → e− νe νμ or μ → e νe νμ). Neutrino oscillations [3] have been observed at experiments [4] such as Homestake, Super–Kamiokande, SNO, and KamLAND. Further explo...

Metal organic hybrid structures have attracted much attention due to possible applications including gas storage, heterogeneous catalysis, andmolecular separation. Hybrid structures are primarily synthesized in solution phase but can be grown under vacuum conditions. On metal surfaces, it has been reported that onedimensional (1-D) metal organic hybrid chains were grown via catalytic self-assem...

The founders of paediatric hospitals intended their institutions to serve for the education and training not only of doctors and medical students, but also of nurses and parents. During the nineteenth century the training of nurses proved to be the most successful aspect of the overall mission. Necessity was a potent stimulant for, as we have seen, the children's hospitals could not function pr...

Throughout its history chiropractic has faced two disparate and at times conflicting demands, unity and diversity. To survive and to flourish has required unity at some level, at least politically. Not that a review of chiropractic history would convince any outsider that unity has been an operational imperative. In many countries and in the US, the profession is still largely divided around tw...
