Staple strength (SS) and coefficient of variation of fibre diameter (FDCV) were measured on full length staples from 12 months of wool growth, and wool staples cut to 80 or 60 % of their full length from the tip. The results show that SS and FDCV for the different staple length treatments are heritable but lower for staples 60% or shorter than their full length. SS and FDCV measured on wool sta...

conclusions bacterial infection has been suggested in the pathogenesis of both ss and cs. in addition, h. pylori is a resident of the oral cavity, thus may be involved in the development and progression of these lesions. hence, search for h. pylori antibody in blood of patients with ss is suggested. background sjogren’s syndrome (ss) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic ...

Recent findings that hemoglobin S gelation and sickling are pH-dependent and also influence oxygen affinity suggested that the red cells containing this hemoglobin variant might show an abnormal Bohr effect. We therefore studied the effects of pH variation on the in vitro oxygen affinity of whole blood from persons with sickle cell anemia (SS) and normal donors (at 37 degrees C and constant car...

It was hypothesized that schizophrenics exceed normal Ss in beliefs enhanced by the response biases of halo and logical error. 16 schizophrenics and 16 normal Ss, matched on reliability, rank ordered 1 sets of 9 items on 3 dimensions. 2 of the dimensions were evaluative dimensions that could be seen as "logically" related to one another. The 3rd was a neutral dimension that was included to meas...

This study evaluated endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation in response to acetylcholine (ACh) in isolated middle cerebral arteries (MCA) from Dahl salt-sensitive (Dahl SS) rats and three different congenic strains that contain a portion of Brown Norway (BN) chromosome 13 introgressed onto the Dahl SS genetic background through marker-assisted breeding. Two of the congenic strains carry a 3....
