I. Three groups of sheep receiving 400,800 and 1200 g lucerne chaff/d in equal hourly meals were killed. The large intestines were removed and divided into segments 15 cm long to provide information on the amounts and dry-matter contents of digesta and on the rates of passage of digesta and absorption of water along the large intestine. z. With increasing intakes of food, increases were observe...

Human vision is heterogeneous around the visual field. At a fixed eccentricity, performance better along horizontal than vertical meridian and lower upper meridian. These asymmetric patterns, termed fields, have been found in numerous tasks, including those mediated by contrast sensitivity spatial resolution. However, it unknown whether resolution asymmetries are confined to cardinal meridians ...

The importance of friendly bacteria in the large intestine is becoming clearer. In fact, the recent focus of research on the beneficial bacteria in the large intestine and their relationship with health outcomes has been hard to ignore. Study after study indicates that the gut microbiome is intricately related to our health and well-being. However, the extent of the benefits of the gut bacteria...

We introduce a lightweight, scalable and accurate framework for performing node selection based on network location. The framework, called Meridian, consists of an overlay network structured around multi-resolution rings, gossip protocols for ring maintenance, and query routing with direct measurements to satisfy user specified latency constraints. We show how this framework can be used to addr...

Colon cancer is the cancer of the large intestine (colon), which is located in the lower part of digestive system. Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in men and the second in women worldwide.Genetic background is thought to play a role in modulating individual risks of this cancer.Many studies support an association between insulin pathway gene polymorphisms and regulation of tumor ce...

The proximal and distal bowel resection margins of 339 specimens of colorectal adenocarcinoma were examined for the presence of tumour. In only five cases was tumour found in a resection margin. In four of these cases macroscopic examination showed that the tumour extended to the resection margin. In the fifth case the tumour was present in the pericolic fat. These results and reported data on ...
