With the popularity of urine flow dynamic monitoring and indwelling catheter technologies in animal experiments, the urethral catheterization has become a common technique in scientific research. The miniature pig is considered as one of the major animal species used in scientific research and is increasingly being used as an alternative to a dog or monkey as the nonrodent species of choice in ...

Intracellular microelectrodes inserted into the soma of crayfish stretch receptor neurons record frequent fluctuations of the membrane potential. Time course, amplitude, and interval distribution indicate that they are miniature potentials. At the average resting potential the polarity of the miniature potentials depends on the anion used in the microelectrode: KCl electrodes record depolarizin...

The use of miniature pigs in non-clinical studies for medical drugs or devices has gradually been increasing in recent years. It is anticipated that the use of juvenile miniature pigs in laboratory practice will also increase. Therefore, it is important to investigate various parameters of juvenile miniature pigs. The body surface area (BSA) of an organism is one of the important parameters for...

Organ transplantation is limited by the shortage of human organs. Many studies have sought to overcome this hurdle by using animal organs. Porcine organs, especially from miniature pigs, have been used for organ xenotransplantation rather than nonhuman primates. While the molecular profiling for transplantation is well known in humans and rodents, the situation for pigs is almost completely unk...

Abstract The X-ray Photometer System (XPS) is one of four instruments onboard NASA’s Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) mission. SORCE spacecraft operated from 2003 to 2020 provide key climate-monitoring measurements total solar irradiance (TSI) spectral (SSI). XPS a set photometers measure the ultraviolet (XUV) shortward 34 nm bright hydrogen emission at 121.6 nm. Each photometer h...

This paper examines the five different Thule postal stamps which circulated from 1935 to 1936 between trading post of (which is Danish name for settlement Uummannaq in Northwest Greenland, today Air Base) and Cape York office Copenhagen. The images on not only concentrate visualize complex colonial history Greenland Denmark. Instead, they also dynamize preserve historical power relations by mak...

In this paper, we propose a laboratory-based computer networking course to better teach various networking concepts to undergraduate students. Specifically, we ask students to build the lab network as a miniature Internet (MINT) from the ground up. Each laboratory builds upon the last until the desired infrastructure is in place. Students are then asked to set up common network services, extend...

blood samples were collected from 20 healthy miniature caspian horses at 37 °c. isolation of cryoglobulin was performed based on a standard method in present study. harvested sera were kept at 4 °c for two hours and then examined for cryoglubolin. four serum samples containing precipitate suspicious of containing cryoglobulin were selected. subsequently serum protein electrophoresis was perform...
