I N 1976, A SURVEY of 26 cardiovascular centers was compiled for the Association of Cardiac Anesthesiologists (Garman JK: Unpublished data, 1976). That survey showed that there were wide differences in opinion concerning the flow rates and blood pressures used during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Acceptable blood pressures varied from 30 to 120 mm Hg. Acceptable bypass flows varied from 1.2 to ...

The inhibition of adhesion between aggregates and layers of embryonic retinal cells by concanavalin A (Con A) and Con A-mediated rearrangements of Con A receptors on retinal cells were studied. A short incubation of aggregates and layers with 10 micrograms/ml Con A substantially reduced aggregate-to-layer adhesion in a subsequent assay without soluble lectin present. This effect of Con A was do...

Two studies were conducted to evaluate sorting and feeding Zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics. Cross-bred beef steers were used in a randomized block design finishing trial. In Exp. 1, (initial BW 342 ± 10 kg, n = 1,000) 5 treatments included an unsorted non-ZH fed negative control (CON), unsorted ZH fed positive control (+CON); and three treatments...

Meteorological variables are essential inputs to many models in agriculture and hydrology. In particular, crop models need them because crop growth is substantially affected by weather. Frequently though, weather data will not be available in the required form. For instance, the available data may not be for exactly the right location, for the right time period or at the right scale, or simply ...

This study investigated the relationship between reported out-of-body experiences, certain psychological variables and personality characteristics. One hundred and sixtyseven participants completed a series of questionnaires to investigate differences amongst those participants reporting out-of-body experiences and those who were classified as believers or non-believers on: fantasy proneness, p...

The impact on health status of hypnosis was investigated in a primary care NHS GP surgery clinic, with referrals from a Local Health Care Cooperative (LHCC) with 85,000 patients. The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF36) pre and post treatment was completed by patients referred with mental health problems, medical problems and for smoking cessation. One hundred and fifteen p...

We de ne families of posets ordered by pre xes as the coun terpart of the usual families of con gurations ordered by subsets On these objects we de ne two types of morphism event and order morphisms re sulting in categories FPos and FPos We then show the following Families of posets in contrast to families of con gurations are always prime algebraic in fact the category FPos is equivalent to th...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of dietary protein and fat from distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality in finishing steers. Angus-cross steers (n = 105; 443 +/- 20 kg of BW) were blocked by BW and randomly assigned to 1 of 5 dietary treatments: 1) corn-based diet with DDGS included at 25% of DM (CO...
