The alpha-2 agonist, medetomidine (MED), and its pure active enantiomer dexmedetomidine (DMED), are used clinically in small animal practice as potent sedatives, analgesic agents, muscle relaxants, and as adjunct agents for balanced anaesthesia. However, their cardiovascular effects limit their use. The use of constant rate infusion (CRI) for administration of MED was studied in order to provid...

We present a new Algorithm for In-Place Rectangular Transposition of an m by n matrix A that is efficient. In worst case it is O(N logN) where N = mn. It uses a bit-vector of size IWORK words to further increase its efficiency. When IWORK=0 no extra storage is used. We also review some of the other existing algorithms for this problem. These contributions were made by Gower, Windley, Knuth, Mac...

The genetic structure of Staphylococcus aureus populations sampled from diverse regions of the globe have been the subject of numerous investigations. Here we describe the structure of S. aureus populations collected from the Southwest Pacific. Multi-locus sequence typing was performed on 467 isolates obtained from people with nasal colonization or bacteremia in Auckland (NZ), and patients pred...

However in a study of 467 lepromatous lepers, Almeida, Lima & Carvalho (1955), found the quantitative complement fixation test of Wadsworth, Maltaner & Maltaner (1938), highly specific for syphilis, when cardiolipin was used as antigen. It was pointed out that the evaluation of the specificity of the reactions, in many cases, was plagued by uncertainties, since reliable information of clinical ...
