BACKGROUND With regard to contact allergy, the dose of a sensitizer per unit skin area is an important factor for both sensitization and elicitation, and therefore a known amount/volume of test preparation should be applied at patch testing. OBJECTIVES To compare three different techniques for the application of aqueous solutions to Finn Chambers, in order to determine the precision and accur...

Motivated by a classical result of Finn and Osserman (J Anal Math 343(12):351–364, 1964), who proved that the Jenkins–Serrin graph over square inscribed in unit disk is extremal for Gaussian curvature point O (so-called centre) minimal graphs above center 0 disk, provided tangent plane horizontal, we ask answer to question concerned "second derivative" such its at zero. We prove extremals are c...

An experiment was conducted to determine whether controlled internal drug release devices-type G (CIDR-G) could be used in conjunction with the ram effect to advance the breeding season and lambing and thereafter could be reapplied to stimulate breeding of ewes to produce a second lambing in late summer. Finn crossbred and Columbia ewes were treated with CIDR-G from July 6 to 18. Rams, which ha...

A study involving 825 spring ewe lambs was conducted to evaluate effects of breed, heterosis, type of birth and rearing, age of dam and preweaning and postweaning growth rate on occurrence of puberty before November 10. Within a breed or breed-cross, preweaning competition among twin and triplet lambs reduced lamb weights by 4 or 5 kg at 70 (weaning), 160 and 230 days of age and by about 3 kg a...
