Human strains of double zone beta hemolytic streptococci produced mastitis in 11 quarters of 4 young cows. Following the acute phase of the infection, the streptococci were eliminated from 6 quarters at various intervals. However, sufficient positive infections were maintained throughout the period of observation to show that the human strains can produce the same degree of infection as bovine ...

The name Newburg has been applied to a highly permeable zone, 0.3 to 9 m thick, occurring in a granular or vuggy dolomite. The zone occurs in carbonate rocks of Middle to Late Silurian age across much of Ohio. Known also to well drillers as the "Second Water" in the "Big Lime" carbonate sequence, the Newburg zone is a source of hydrocarbons in northeast Ohio, brines in southeast Ohio, and a wid...

Conventional fire and smoke control systems use pressure differences across small openings and cracks in physical barriers as a means to restrict smoke propagation from one space to another and water-spray curtains to diminish or eliminate fire and smoke. Most fire codes of Unite State of American depend upon the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), guidebooks [1,2]. In turn these propo...

forest reserves are one of the most important approaches in ecosystem management in iran. in order to determine the effects of reserve management on plants diversity (woody plants and ground flora) in three zones (core zone, buffer zone, and transmission zone of chamhesar pear forest reserve), we mapped land form units. then 18 main sampling units (20×50=1000 m2) distributed randomly were chose...

Conceptual studies and numerical simulations are performed for imaging devices that transform a near-field pattern into magnified far-zone images and are based on high-order spatial transformation in cylindrical domains. A lens translating a near-field pattern from an almost circular input boundary onto a magnified far-field image at a flat output boundary is considered. The lens is made of a m...
