Empty body composition of 68 mixed-breed and 50 Angus steers was determined by chemical analysis of the right half-carcass and entire noncarcass fraction of each steer. Chemical composition was used to develop prediction equations for empty body protein (EBPRO) and fat (EBFAT) in steers using urea space (US) and body weight measurements. Previous research showed a significant positive correlati...

Inaccuracy in recognizing the empty sella by conventional computed tomography (CT) techniques derives from diverse intrasellar cystic structures that are not distinguished from it. In 23 cases of presumed empty sella, it was observed that the pituitary stalk within the enlarged sella (infundibulum) was demonstrated by thin (1.5 mm) coronal CT sections. ALthough the diagnosis was not proven by c...

it is generally recognised that ‘zero’ as we understand the concept today originated in two geographically separated cultures: the maya and indian. however, if zero merely signified a magnitude or a direction separator (i.e. separating those above the zero level from those below the zero level), the egyptian zero, nfr, dating back at least four thousand years, amply served these purposes. if ze...
