The microbiological investigation was conducted to determine the level of contamination of goat meat processed by butchers in slaughter yards and meat stalls and also at different body regions such as neck, brisket and thigh during the period of July to November 2007 in the Department of Microbiology and Hygiene, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh, Bangladesh. A total number o...

This study tested the hypothesis that effects of the menstrual cycle on resting blood pressure carry over to dynamic exercise. Eleven healthy females were studied during the early (EP; low estrogen, low progesterone) and late follicular (LP; high estrogen, low progesterone) menstrual phases. Stroke volume (SV), heart rate (HR), cardiac output (CO), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood...

The aim of this survey was to obtain data on microbiological contamination of pig carcasses and environments in three large-scale Italian slaughterhouses (identified as A-B-C) located in Northern Italy. Each slaughterhouse was visited six times. Five carcasses and three different sites of the slaughterhouse (before and during slaughter) were sampled on each sampling day. A single pooled caecal ...

Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) reportedly indicated better prognosis for some cancers. We retrospectively analyzed 150 evaluable metastatic gastric cancer (MGC) patients who had received first-line EOF5 (combination regimen of epirubicin, oxaliplatin and 5-day continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil) treatment. We divided patients into three groups according to the worst grade of CIN: abs...

The microbiological quality of almost all commercially produced raw milk in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) is determined by flow cytometry using BactoScan equipment. However, European Commission standards for raw milk are laid down as standard plate counts in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 Annex III, Section IX, hence there is a need to have a conversion factor betwe...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic effect and safety of cerclage placed in pregnancy via laparoscopy (CPL) in the first trimesteror in non-pregnant phase (CNL). METHODS A total of 134 cervical insufficiency patients who were treated with cervical cerclage were included. All the patients were divided into 3 groups. CPL group: 43 cases were treated with cerclage placed in pregnancy via la...

In each of these case the result was shortly or immediately after extended to analytic sets. For this purpose let us write TVC(G,Σ∼ 1 1) if whenever G acts continuously on a Polish space X and A ⊂ X is Σ∼ 1 1 (or analytic) then either |A/G| ≤ א0 or there is a perfect set of orbit inequivalent points in A. Thus we have TVC(G,Σ∼ 1 1) for each of the group in the class mentioned in 0.1-0.4 above. ...

This paper describes a student independent research project. The project task was to evaluate the low frequency errors of Thermal Voltage Converters (TVCs). A method to evaluate the low frequency errors of TVCs has been developed ([ 1], [2]). This method is based on measurements of the dc transfer function and time constant of the tested TVC. The error analysis is performed in the frequency dom...

We investigated the interactions between flicker thresholds and luminance pedestals using threshold versus contrast (TvC) and method of constant stimuli paradigms. High amplitude luminance pedestals were found to elevate flicker thresholds, but low amplitude luminance pedestals were unable to reduce flicker thresholds. Luminance pedestals elevated flicker thresholds more at low temporal frequen...

Value chain is the value-added process resulting from extension of rural tourism industry chain. Its direction construction includes vertical service field, and combination horizontal regional elements. The value (TVC) closely related to transformation elements production, life, ecology, culture, which helps promote high-quality development implementation in China. Using Dalishu village as an e...
