The present study aimed to estimate the effects of parity, calving season and year of calving on the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in Holstein cows. A total of 2682 records from 869 Holstein cows in a large dairy farm (Azarbaijan province, Iran), respecting the period from 2006 to 2009, were collected. Data was analyzed using Proc Mixed of SAS software by MIVQUE method. Subclinical mastiti...

The origin of electrical activity accompanying volcanic ash plumes is an area heightened interest in volcanology. However, it unclear how intense eruption needs to be produce lightning flashes as opposed “vent discharges,” which represent the smallest scale activity. This study targets 97 carefully monitored <3 km high from Sakurajima volcano Japan, June 1 7, 2015. We use multiparametric measur...

The deep piriform region has an unusually high seizure susceptibility. Voltage imaging previously located the sites of epileptiform discharge onset in slices of rat piriform cortex and revealed the spatiotemporal pattern of development of two types of electrical activity during the latent period prior to discharge onset. A ramplike depolarization (onset activity) appears at the site of discharg...

OBJECT Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is used extensively in clinical practice, and as such, the accuracy of registered ICP values is paramount. Clinical observations of nonphysiological changes in ICP have called into question the accuracy of registered ICP values. Subsequently, the authors have tried to determine if the ICP monitors from major manufacturers were affected by electrosta...

Capacitor electrical discharge consolidation (CEDC) is a technique that uses the heat of Joule effect high intensity electric current to consolidate powders. In this study, precompaction pressure and number discharges on porosity, microstructure hardness compacts analysed. Furthermore, sintering results iron powders obtained through conventional route (cold pressing furnace sintering) by CEDC a...

made the observation that bacteria adhering to the positive pole of an electrical current are retarded in growth or killed, according to the strength and duration of the current. In these experiments results were obtained only by growing the bacteria in agar on the electrodes themselves, and then dipping these in salt solution and passing the current. Simply passing the current through a liquid...
