Breeds were compared for differences in BW (n = 56,731), heights (n = 51,407) and body condition scores (BCS, n = 56,371) of 2to 8-yr-old cows from four cycles of the Germplasm Evaluation (GPE) Program at the U. S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC). Angus, Hereford, and topcross cows from 22 breeds of sires were produced. The mixed model for repeated measures of BW, height, and BCS included ra...

Abstract Introduction Accurate patient documentation at the ARU is vital to safety and ensuring smooth handovers secondary care services. Because nature of surgical treatment requires frequent handovers, this increases risk miscommunication, we aimed assess quality clerk-ins identify areas for improvement. Method Emergency admissions Dumfries Galloway Royal Infirmary were audited, looking under...

The spread of English as a global language has resulted in several changes, which challenge the foundations how should be taught and learned. To match today‘s sociolinguistic realities, researchers have called for paradigm shift from traditional pedagogy to new that can prepare students use international communication involving different varieties its cultures. purposes this study are...

The Voxel Imaging PET (VIP) Pathfinder project intends to show the advantages of using pixelated semiconductor technology for nuclear medicine applications to achieve an improved image reconstruction without efficiency loss. It proposes designs for Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) and Compton gamma camera detectors with a large number of signal channels (o...

Onshore wind electricity generation is key to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.? Poorly sited farms degrade high carbon soils and habitats, diminishing overall emission reductions. We explore the viability of Scottish Government’s renewable energy plan with respect land use, natural capital low storage. With avoidance sensitive peatlands a main consideration, six constraining factors were co...

This thesis is based on a six year research study and is set against the implementation of Local Management of Schools and the formula funding arrangements for pupils with special educational needs (SEN). The main aim of the research is to investigate the principles and practice for allocating additional resources to provide for pupils with SEN but without statements. Two theoretical perspectiv...

The paper by Weerasinghe and Parr resurrects a longstanding debate over the causal role of wealth in fertility reductions of the past centuries (1). Malthus, who did not foresee any negative correlation between wealth and fertility, wrote, “That population does invariably increase where there are the means of subsistence, the history of every people that have ever existed will abundantly prove”...

We have previously described a transcription unit located between map coordinates 0.558 and 0.595 on the herpes simplex virus type 2 strain 333 genome which encodes two mRNAs of 5.0 and 1.2 kilobases that share a common 3' terminus, and we have determined the nucleotide sequence of a 38,000-dalton protein specified by the smaller RNA (D. A. Galloway and M. A. Swain, J. Virol. 49:724-730, 1984)....

The arrangements adopted in the West Sussex immunization scheme have already been described (Galloway, 1963; IBM United Kingdom Limited, 1966). From the details given on immunization consent forms (which are derived from birth notifications) the computer arranges appointments for child patients to attend clinics or general practitioners' surgeries, according to their parents' choice. For each c...
