The median effective doses (ED(50)) of 28 lots of killed Pasteurella pestis strain 195/P vaccine were determined in mice and guinea pigs. Mice were injected with vaccine alone, whereas guinea pigs received vaccine suspended in incomplete Freund's adjuvant. Potency ratios of vaccines were obtained by comparing the ED(50) of the test with that of a reference vaccine. Mean potency ratios of 1.82 +...

SUMMARY We have studied the active and recent tectonics of New Guinea, using earthquake source modelling, analysis gravity anomalies, seismic reflection profiles, thermal mechanical models. Our aim is to investigate behaviour evolution a young continental deformation belt, explore effects lateral variations in foreland rheology on deformation. find that along-strike gradients lithosphere thickn...

Australia and New Guinea (together referred to as Sahul) were linked by land for much of the late Tertiary share many biotic elements. However, is dominated rainforest, northern savannah. Resolving patterns interchange between these two regions critical understanding expansion contraction both habitat types. The green tree frog (Litoria caerulea) has a vast range across eastern Guinea. An asses...

The author presents a reflection on her work experience with Paulo Freire and his team in Cape Verde Guinea Bissau. Still as an economics student Lisbon, she remembers literacy the Verdean diaspora. As member of PAIGC - African Party for Independence Verde, would participate teams coordinated by Freire, always bearing mind complexity these two new countries, which inherited high level illiterac...

1. Weight loss, progressive anemia, and a moderate increase in reticulated red blood cells occurred in seventeen guinea pigs on a diet deficient in vitamin C. 2. The histological changes of the bone marrow removed from guinea pigs with scurvy showed large numbers of erythrogenic cells, but scant evidence of active maturation to the adult erythrocyte. 3. A reticulocyte response was induced in gu...

Recent literature has usually invoked the name Canis hallstromi Troughton, 1957, though with varied taxonomic interpretations, when writing of dogs thought to be unique New Guinea. The familiaris novaehiberniae was proposed for from Guinea region 130 years before Troughton published but been overlooked in recent literature, as papuensis Ramsay, 1879 southeastern status remains controversial if ...

Unstable factors such as international relations, geopolitics, and transportation routes make natural gas trade complex changeable. Diversified flexible sources of liquefied (LNG) can guarantee the energy supply security gas-consuming countries. Therefore, it is very important to find potential links help government partners prepare strategically in advance. In this paper, global LNG network ta...

The present study was undertaken to elucidate the potentiation by furosemide of toxicity and positive inotropic effect of ouabain in guinea pigs. Arrhythmogenic responses to ouabain as well as the lowering of its lethal dose were potentiated by pretreatment with furosemide in guinea pigs. The potentiation of ouabain toxicity after furosemide administration was inhibited by pretreatment with pot...

Oocysts of a Cryptosporidium isolate from guinea pigs were not infectious for adult mice, but were infectious for two of three newborn calves and for suckling mice. However, oocysts isolated from calves or mice infected with guinea pig Cryptosporidium were not infectious for guinea pigs. Four isolates of C. parvum from calves were incapable of infecting weanling guinea pigs. Microscopic examina...

An invisible, filter-passing virus, pathogenic for the guinea pig, and capable of cultivation on special media for at least seven generations, has been isolated from a tick of the species Dermacentor andersoni. One of two monkeys (Macacus rhesus) inoculated became infected, and in one rabbit the result was negative. The virus has been transmitted from infected guinea pigs to ticks as also in on...
