Forestry, as a large industry, has significant impacts on the quality of nature-based tourism landscapes in boreal forests. In Finland, the rapid growth of nature-based tourism has expanded outdoor recreation activities from protected areas into timber production forests; this is particularly so in northern Finland. This paper focuses on assessing balanced local net impacts of three alternative...

We describe and evaluate two frequently used indirect methods for assessing exocrine pancreatic function: the N-benzoyl-L-tyrosyl-p-aminobenzoic acid test (NBT-PABA) and the pancreolauryl test. In both procedures, the patient is orally administered a substrate that is metabolized into two or more products by pancreatic enzymes. At least one of the reaction products is absorbed from the gut, con...

Thermally-induced loss of piezoelectricity in ferroelectric Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3–BaTiO3 Report Title The loss of piezoelectricity in ferroelectric sodium bismuth titanate (NBT) in solid solution with barium titanate ((1? x)NBT?xBT) is studied by means of thermal depoling and Raman spectroscopy. In the range 0?x?13%, the highest thermal stability of the piezoelectric coefficients is found in x=13%, fo...

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a congenital disorder characterized by severe and recurrent infections, including pneumonia and deep tissue abscesses, leading to early death from sepsis. (Curnutte and Babior 1987). Two forms of inheritance have been noted. Most cases (80-90%) show X-linked transmission, with the remaining cases being autosomal recessive. Both forms have in common a defic...

Purveyors are concerned about the potential food safety risk of nonintact meat products and are seeking strategies to ensure adequate meat tenderness without blade tenderization. This study was conducted to determine the effects of blade tenderization and time and temperature of aging on beef longissimus lumborum (LL) and gluteus medius (GM) tenderness. Beef strip loins (n = 300) and top sirloi...

The relationship between the temperatures of depolarization (T d ) and morphotropic phase transition F-R) in crystalline relaxor solid solutions various types, such as PbMg 1/3 Nb 2/3 O 3 -29PbTiO (PMN-29PT), PbZn -9PbTiO (PZN-9PT) NaBi 1/2 Ti -xBaTiO (x=5,7.5%) (NBT-xBT) has been studied. For this purpose, dielectric measurements polarized samples were carried out, process induction ferroelect...
