1. Muscle degeneration was constantly found in the intercostal muscles of scorbutic guinea pigs. 2. It has likewise been found in the masseter and diaphragmatic muscles. 3. Exercise will produce an identical lesion in other skeletal muscles in scorbutic animals. 4. The lesions appear to be an intrinsic part of the scorbutic process. 5. It is suggested that the tenderness over muscles in scorbut...

First, experiments were tested for a new method concerning analyses of crop contents in liquosomatophagous animals. Disc-electrophoretic separations of the crop contents of Helobdella stagnalis yielded protein patterns typical for the number of bands and for the relative mobilities in these Chironomid larvae, on which H. stagnalis were fed. Additionally, slowly migrating bands occurred in the s...

The structure of the non-degenerate and degenerating pronephros, of larval Rana temporaria, at different stages of the metamorphic cycle, was examined by electron microscopy. Extra-renal cellular components in the circulation were likewise investigated, and particular consideration was given to their relationships with the pronephric tubules whose regression would seem to be bound up with them....

Flexural strength and modulus of woven glass fiber-reinforced specimens werc significanLly greater than those without woven glass fiber (p<O.OD, Likewise, comprossive strength of reinforced specimens was signifieantly greater than those without woven glass fiber (p<O.Ol), except for specimens rcjnforced with woven glass fiber oriented at a tilt directio...

Orally administered hypertonic contrast media draw fluid into the intestines, which, if severe enough, could result in hypovolemia. Likewise, in infants and young children, the occurrence of diarrhea may result in hypovolemia. Plasma fluid loss may be sufficient to cause a shock-like state, which, if untreated, could be dangerous. This is especially pertinent to the elderly, cachectic patients ...

The work presented in this paper deals with the text normalization for highly inflectional languages. This paper is focused on abbreviation expansion and likewise on numerals normalization. Our text normalization system does not use any explicit parser or part-of-speech tagger and thus it can be called lightly supervised. The standard rule-based text normalization method is compared with the pr...

Preparations of mouse interferon enhanced the expression of surface antigens of murine leukemia L 1210 cells, as determined by their alloantibody-absorbing capacity. The factor responsible for the enhancement of surface antigen expression could not be dissociated from the antiviral activity of interferon by standard physicochemical means. Likewise, interferon did not increase the antibody-absor...

First solution: Pair each entry of the first row with the entry directly below it in the second row. If Alan ever writes a number in one of the first two rows, Barbara writes the same number in the other entry in the pair. If Alan writes a number anywhere other than the first two rows, Barbara does likewise. At the end, the resulting matrix will have two identical rows, so its determinant will ...

The present paper provides a description of the male caste and re-description of the worker and queen castes of the poorly known ant species Lasiusalienoflavus Bingham, 1903. This species has hitherto been reported only from the Himalayas, and the present data are also based on specimens collected in the north-western part of the mountain range. Likewise other Himalayan ants, this species also ...

Cytological studies have shown that in the maturation divisions of a large number of species of animals the cells which are to give riseto the spermatozoa are of two kinds, differing from each other in the nature of their chromatin content. The resulting spermatozoa therefore are assumed to be likewise of two kinds. A large mass of indirect evidence makes it highly probable that eggs fertilized...
