The work of previous investigators gives the impression that it is easy to produce sera which both in vitro and upon injection are leukotoxic. At the same time the specificity of these leukotoxic sera for the particular type of cell used as antigen, and even for leukocytes in general, has been doubtful. The methods used have made certain possible factors of error unavoidable. Even careful washi...

in the present study, experimental investigations about the hydrodynamics of the conical cap tray (concap tray) have been carried out. the concap tray is an innovative and novel type of cap trays. the effect of the different weir height (2.5, 5 and 7 cm) on the weeping, entrainment and the total pressure drop for the concap tray was measured, compared and correlated. the hydraulic experiments w...

co2 emissions from combustion flue gases have turned into a major factor in global warming. post-combustion carbon capture (pcc) from industrial utility flue gases by reactive absorption can substantially reduce the emissions of the greenhouse gas co2. to test a new solvent (ait600) for this purpose, a small pilot plant was used. this paper presents the results of studies on chemical methods of...

Feline rhinotracheitis is a ubiquitous disease caused by feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1). The disease is easily transmissible and common in multi-cat environments where even vaccinated cats can develop clinical signs of respiratory or ocular disease or both when exposed to the virus. Prior to the work reported here, there was no licensed treatment for the disease on the market. We hypothesize...
