Apple maggot, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh), is a quarantine pest of apples, Malus domestica Borkhausen, and pears, Pyrus communis L., shipped from much of the United States and Canada. As such, these fruits shipped from infested areas to uninfested areas must undergo a quarantine disinfestation treatment. The objective of this research was to develop irradiation quarantine treatments against ap...

Previous research has demonstrated a link between rotational behavior and striatal dopamine asymmetry in the rat (rats rotate contralateral to the side of higher striatal dopamine concentration) and that the direction of a rat pup's tail posture will predict rotational bias. The present study hypothesized that neonatal tail posture would also predict adult striatal dopamine asymmetry. This hypo...

background: s. alopecuroides, z. officinale and m. officinalis are used traditionally in the treatment of pain. objective: to evaluate the plants effects in the rat formalin test and their activity on the opioid receptors. methods: each rat was placed individually in a cage for 30 min to get acclimated. then 0.05 ml of 10% formalin was injected subcutaneously into the dorsal surface of the righ...

Cane rat, a micro livestock currently being domesticated has the potential to increase animal protein sources. This study examined qualitative characteristics of Thyryonomys swinderianus (Tss) and Thryonomys gregorianus (Tsg). Three hundred thirty five cane rats were sampled. Seven characters coded. These included: Shape Head (SH), Eye Placement (EP), Ear (ES), Body Pelage (BP), Tail (TS), Colo...

Toman fish is a pure carnivore which so far has used wild catches as its entire diet. Alternative feed with high animal protein and easy to obtain needs be done. Fermentation activities using tempe yeast can usually increase the content of material. Studies on use fermented maggot for toman seed have not yet obtained sufficient information, in-depth research this matter really This study aims a...

In a two-chamber system, isolated blood polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (PMN) were allowed to migrate (5 h, 37degrees C) in response to bovine complement component C5a across calfskin and rat-tail type I collagen-coated micropore membranes, arterial endothelial, or mammary epithelial cell monolayer on calfskin and rat-tail collagen-coated membranes, respectively. Migration through calfs...

Background Central venous catheter (CVC) is used for measuring hemodynamic variables, transfusion of blood, fluids and medications when peripheral vascular lack sufficiency. Unfortunately CVC is associated with many complications ranging from anxiety and discomfort for the patient to severe mechanical side effects such as arterial lacerations, pleural and pericardial injury as well as infection...
