Introduction The larynx of the horse is part of the upper airway and serves as a conduit between the pharynx and the trachea, or the wind pipe that takes inspired air to the lungs for gas exchange. The larynx is comprised of a number of cartilages that work together to allow for increased airflow during exercise and to close the trachea during swallowing to prevent foreign material and food par...

Understanding of the runoff generation processes is important in understanding the magnitude and dynamics ofgroundwater discharge. However, these processes continue to be difficult to quantify and conceptualize. In this study,two digital filter based separation modules, the Recursive filtering method (RDF) and a generalization of therecursive digital filter (GRDF) were1991–2002 in the Hableh Ro...

Phytoextraction has been reported as an economically and ecologically sound alternative for the remediation of metal-contaminated soils. Willow is a metal phytoextractor of interest because it allows to combine a gradual contaminant removal with production of biomass that can be valorized in different ways. In this work two willow clones growing on a metal-contaminated site were selected: 'Belg...

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Laryngeal dysplasia due to suspected maldevelopment of the fourth branchial arch has been reported previously in the horse and has been associated with rostral displacement of the palatopharyngeal arch and/or right laryngeal dysfunction. These studies all described the endoscopic and/or anatomical post mortem identification of the disease, but ultrasonography or mag...

Abst rac t . Let P(x) -0 (rood N) be a modular multivariate polynomial equation, in m variables, and total degree k with a small root x0. We show that there is an algorithm which determines c(~ 1) integer polynomial equations (in m variables) of total degree polynomial in cmklog N, in time polynomial in craklog N, such that each of the equations has xo as a root. This algorithm is an extension ...

Numerical approaches in atmospheric and oceanic modeling inevitably introduce diffusion (or dissipation) and dispersion into the approximate solution. From a physical point of view, advection of a passive tracer is the simple transition of a quantity. Therefore, dispersion, the propagation of different spatial scales at different phase speed, and diffusion are processes that are aliens to the p...

The Tet P determinant from the conjugative Clostridium perfringens R plasmid pCW3 two functional overlapping tetracycline resistance genes, tetA(P) and tetB(P). The tetA(P) gene encodes a putative 46-kDa transmembrane protein which mediates active efflux of tetracycline from the cell, while tetB(P) encodes a putative 72.6-kDa protein which has significant similarity to Tet M-like tetracycline r...

Rood damage models are used to determine the impact of measures to reduce damage due to river flooding. Such models are characterized by uncertainty. This uncertainty may affect the decisions made on the basis of the model outcomes. To reduce uncertainty effectively, the most important sources of uncertainty must be found. Uncertainty analysis serves this purpose. By way of a questionnaire expe...
