At 24 hours after administration of a single dose of 3-4 mg. of l-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene-1-C14 (1-hydroxy-AAF-l-C14) intraperitoneally to rats, 75 per cent of the dose had been excreted in the urine and feces. About 5 per cent of the injected radioactivity was present in the gastrointestinal contents, and only 1-2 per cent re mained in the tissues of the rat. Radioactivity equivalent to ...

Some philosophers, for example David Lewis, have argued for the need to introduce de se contents or centered contents, i.e. contents of thought and speech the correctness of believing which depends not only on the possible world one inhabits, but also on the location one occupies. Independently, philosophers like Robert Stalnaker (and also David Lewis) have developed the conversational score mo...

The goal of the present studies was to determine the exogenous and endogenous reserves of lead, cadmium, arsenic, copper, and zinc. Examinations were carried out in 2006 (N=19), 2007 (N=20), and 2008 (N=20). Hair samples were collected from the back part of the Limousine cattle pastured in the vicinity of the Glogow copper smelter. The cows, aged 4 to 5 years, were reared on green pastures. In ...

Two cases of botulism in horses are described in the article. In the first case two horses died, one survived and recovered after four weeks. Botulotoxin type B was detected using a mouse bioassay in the gastrointestinal content of both dead horses; Clostridium botulinum bacteria were cultivated from one of them. In the second case two horses were affected. One of them was euthanized because of...

For the autonomous repair of damaged materials, microcapsules are needed that release their contents in response to a variety of physical and chemical phenomena, not just by direct mechanical rupture. Herein we report a general route to programmable microcapsules. This method creates core-shell microcapsules with polymeric shell walls composed of self-immolative polymer networks. The polymers i...

We describe an implementation of an efficient player for MPEG-4 contents on a mobile device. The player uses 3 adaptation methods in order to support high efficiency when it plays MPEG-4 contents. The adaptation methods are composed of a physical adaptation, an event adaptation, and a resource adaptation. The first adaptation resolves the physical difference between the authoring environment an...

A physical interpretation of the holographic principle is derived, using a specific non-local hidden-variable theory called the Cordus conjecture. We start by developing an explanation for the vacuum, and differentiate this from the void into which the universe expands. In this theory the vacuum comprises a fabric of discrete field elements generated by matter particules. The outside void into ...

We address the black-box issue of VR sickness assessment (VRSA) by evaluating level physical symptoms sickness. For contents inducing similar level, can vary depending on characteristics contents. Most existing VRSA methods focused assessing overall score. To make better understanding sickness, it is required to predict and provide major rather than degree In this paper, we degrees main affecti...
