Nominal schemas extend description logics (DLs) with a restricted form of variables, thus integrating rule-like expressive power into standard DLs. They are also one of the most recently introduced DL features, and in spite of many works on algorithms and implementations, almost nothing is known about their computational complexity and expressivity. We close this gap by providing a comprehensiv...

Purpose The purpose of this pilot-scale study was to compare the quality traditionally manufactured butters from local, small British producers with that are produced industrially. Design/methodology/approach Butter samples were obtained after supervised site inspections three traditional-butter manufacturers and one large-scale butter producer. subject initial microbiological, chemical sensory...

OBJECTIVE After investigating fixed airways obstruction in butter flavoring-exposed workers at a microwave popcorn plant, we sought to further characterize lung disease risk from airborne butter-flavoring chemicals. METHODS We analyzed data from medical and environmental surveys at six microwave popcorn plants (including the index plant). RESULTS Respiratory symptom and airways obstruction ...

Three "saturated" fats of vegetable origin were fed to different groups of rabbits for periods up to 1 year. Cocoa butter and a hydrogenated vegetable oil shortening produced no hypercholesterolemia. Coconut oil feeding increased the serum cholesterol concentrations for 4 months, but a decline to baseline values occurred after 6 months. No gross atherosclerosis occurred in any animal fed coconu...

The butter boletes (Boletus s.l. sect. Appendiculati) are an economically important group of ectomycorrhizal fungi whose basidiocarps have a yellow tube layer that often bruises blue, yellow reticulate stipe, mild flavor and firm yellow-tinged flesh that may or may not turn blue when exposed. Morphological characters and molecular data (ITS and LSU) place this group in a separate phylogenetic c...

Solid and liquid ba~ts were tested for the delivery the latter may be more useful because consumption can be of drugs to white-tailed deer. The solid bait was comprised measured directly, ingestion by nontarget animals is of a mineral block paired with apple, peanut butter, or acorn minimized, and bait degradation by weathering is reduced. extract. The liquid bait was comprised of water, apple ...
