S torage interfaces have been a necessary component of computer systems since computing’s inception. At a basic level, a storage interface functions like any generic interface, defining the boundary between two dissimilar surfaces or systems. In a computer system, a storage interface defines both the boundaries between storage devices—such as hard drives, tape drives, or similar media—and how t...

A Patient Data Management System is being developed for the intensive care unit at the Montreal Children 's Hospital. A number of beds ide instrumentation monitors are linked by a local area network to a personal computer for acquisition of real time data and the interactive graphical display of their trends . The PDMS also manages fluid balance data , medical dosage computations based on the p...

torage histiocyte disorders are inborn errors of metabolism caused by enzyme deficiencies. Gaucher’s disease is the most prevalent lysosomal storage disorder, but cells indistinguishable by light microscope examination from typical Gaucher cells (pseudoGaucher cells) have been observed in many hematologic and non hematologic disorders. We report a case of centrocytic nodular non Hodgkin’s lymph...

A rehydratable dry-film plating method for Staphylococcus aureus in foods, the 3M Petrifilm Rapid S. aureus Count Plate method, was compared with AOAC Official Method 975.55 (Staphylococcus aureus in Foods). Nine foods-instant nonfat dried milk, dry seasoned vegetable coating, frozen hash browns, frozen cooked chicken patty, frozen ground raw pork, shredded cheddar cheese, fresh green beans, pa...

OBJECTIVE To develop an efficient technique to preserve primordial follicles from cryopreserved ovarian tissue. DESIGN Frozen-thawed and fresh preantral follicles were mechanically isolated for viability testing, and their morphology was histologically analyzed. SETTING Laboratory of Animal Reproduction, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechny, University State of São Paulo, Brazil. ...

We evaluated the survival of Streptococcus agalactiae from naturally infected wild mullet (Liza klunzingeri) and experimentally infected Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) frozen at 20 and 70 jC, respectively, for an extended period of time. The brain, eye, head kidney, and intestine of individually frozen wild mullet (N = 22), culture positive for S. agalactiae from fresh tissues following a...

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) imaging is a powerful tool for the assessment of bone quality; however, it requires the preparation of thin bone sections. Conventional poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) embedding for the preparation of sections takes more than two weeks and causes denaturation of the bone. Development of a quick and easy sample preparation technique without denaturation is need...

degradation of dry matter (dm) and nitrogen (n) in fresh or frozen-thawed alfalfa and ryegrass was studied by using in situ technique. the forages were labeled with 15n during growth in a glasshouse, harvested at similar growth phase, and fresh (f) or frozen-thawed (ft) samples were incubated in the rumen of 3 sheep. there was no difference (p>0.05) between forage type (s) for the immediately s...
