Introducing a new cat to a home with resident cats may lead to stress, aggression and even fights. In this case study 468 agonistic cat vocalisations were recorded as one cat was introduced to three resident cats in her new home. Six vocalisation types were identified: growl, howl, howl-growl, hiss, spit and snarl. Numerous other intermediate and complex vocalisations were also observed. An aco...

Right bundle branch block (RBBB) is occasionally encountered in young persons who lack any other evidence of overt cardiac disease (Hiss and Lamb, 1962; Lancaster, Schechter, and Massing, 1972). The block may be complete or incomplete, the latter being more common. Right bundle branch block has been studied in relation to body weight, obesity, serum cholesterol and glucose levels, and blood pre...

Evidence is here given that polysaccharides can be rendered antigenic by haptogenic adsorption upon a colloid carrier. The polysaccharides studied were those of B. anthracis, the meningococcus, Streptococcus viridans (Bargen), B. proteus, S. morgani, B. dysenteriae, both the Shiga and Hiss types, and the pneumococci. With the polysaccharide of Type III pneumococci, we have been unable in 6 week...

In the HISS (Hospital Information System for Students) project, run by Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome, students of Medicine, Nursing and Dietetics practising in the wards were trained to use handheld devices connected through a WLAN to record patients’ data. Beside learning this new technology and applying it for freely accessing teaching resources from any place in the Campus, the studen...

On examination he had an obvious fracture of the nose with evidence of epistaxis and slight deviation of the nose to the right, together with surgical emphysema between the nose and the eyelids on the right. He took great delight in producing the deformity for the amusement of his comrades. Finger pressure applied to the swollen tissues caused deflation and an audible hiss of air escaping into ...

a lien's egg lying across the rima glottidis, which the action of vomiting brought into view, occupying the whole of the isthmus faucium. He stated that about three months ago it began to trouble him by obstructing breathing and deglutition, since which time it has increased rapidly until he could eat no thick food, and nearly all the fluids he tried to swallow came back through the nostrils. P...

The ionospheric hiss wave is a broadband incoherent and structureless electromagnetic emission. They appear in relatively narrower frequency range between −0.1 1.5 kHz. However, according to previous observations, abnormal emissions during seismic activities also preferentially the same of hiss. This work studies propagation features time based on observations from CSES (China Seismo-Electromag...

Whistler-mode hiss waves play an important role in the radiation belt electron depletion. Whether with significant differences amplitude and propagation direction within plasmaspheric core plume are related to each other remains unclear. We here show that facilitates energy conversion from energetic electrons then guides into core. Three ground space missions captured initial formation subseque...

Considering the suitability of laboratory rats in epilepsy research, we and other groups have been developing genetic models of epilepsy in this species. After epileptic rats or seizure-susceptible rats were sporadically found in outbred stocks, the epileptic traits were usually genetically-fixed by selective breeding. So far, the absence seizure models GAERS and WAG/Rij, audiogenic seizure mod...

D URING Alger Hiss’s second perjury trial, the defense called a psychiatrist, Dr. Carl Binger, to give an expert opinion on the credibility of the prosecution’s chief witness, Wittaker Chambers. After reading Chambers’ extant writings and watching him testify at both trials, Dr. Binger found himself able to testify, within “reasonably certainty,” that Chambers was suffering from a psychopathic ...
