Introduction Failures of the current food system sit at core multitude crises by being root framework for both consumption choices and production. Low-income households are disproportionately affected these failures, impacting their security access to healthy sustainable foods. Community-supported agriculture (CSA) is a bottom-up response towards an agri-food transformation providing alternativ...

1. Preliminaries. Let X be the class of compact 1 connected semisimple Lie groups; 3C'C3C is the following set of groups, Sp(w), SU(w), Spin(w), G2, F*, EQ, E7, Es, U*(X) the weakly complex bordism of X [ l ] and A the ring U*(pt) = Z[Fi , F2, • • • ]. A is the weakly complex bordism ring defined by Milnor. The generators F,are weakly complex manifolds of dim 2i. The bordism class of a weakly c...

Repeated anaesthesia may be required in experimental protocols and in daily veterinary practice, but anaesthesia is known to alter physiological parameters in GPs (Cavia porcellus, GPs). This study investigated the effects of repeated anaesthesia with either medetomidine-midazolam-fentanyl (MMF) or isoflurane (Iso) on physiological parameters in the GP. Twelve GPs were repeatedly administered w...

Cells of the rat neuronal line, PC12, adhere well to substrates coated with laminin and type IV collagen, but attach poorly to fibronectin. Adhesion and neurite extension in response to these extracellular matrix proteins are inhibited by Fab fragments of an antiserum (anti-ECMR) that recognizes PC12 cell surface integrin subunits of M~ 120,000, 140,000, and 180,000 (Tomaselli, K. J., C. H. Dam...

ing from money, meaning everything is denominated in units of goods, e.g. fruit). Total cost is the wage bill plus the capital bill. Let wt be the real wage rate – it is the number of goods the firm must pay each unit of labor. Let Rt be the real “rental rate” – it is the number of goods the firm must give up to lease a unit of capital. The firm is a price-taker, so it takes these as given. Pro...

There are three types of strip for fuel management in forest areas: primary, secondary and tertiary, defined by the Law 17/2009. The most important differences between them are in terms of size (primary being the widest and the tertiary the narrowest) and scale (primary referring to the district level, secondary to the municipal level and tertiary to the parish level). The primary strip network...

BACKGROUND This study investigated effects on cardiovascular parameters during anaesthesia with isoflurane (ISO, 2-3 Vol%), ketamine-xylazine (KX, 100 mg•kg(-1) + 5 mg•kg(-1)) or a combination of medetomidine-midazolam-fentanyl (MMF, 0.15 mg•kg(-1) + 2.0 mg•kg(-1) + 0.005 mg•kg(-1)) in rats throughout induction, maintenance and recovery from anaesthesia. Rats were instrumented with a telemetric...

BACKGROUND This study evaluated the influence of repeated anaesthesia using isoflurane (ISO, 2-3 Vol%), ketamine-xylazine (KX, 100 mg·kg(-1) + 5 mg·kg(-1), i.m.) or a combination of medetomidine-midazolam-fentanyl (MMF, 0.15 mg·kg(-1) + 2.0 mg·kg(-1) + 0.005 mg·kg(-1), i.m.) on heart rate (HR), arterial blood pressure (BP), body temperature (BT), duration of anaesthetic intervals and body weigh...

We review the method of quantitative symmetrization inequalities introduced in Fusco, Maggi and Pratelli, “The sharp quantitative isoperimetric inequality”, Ann. of Math. Introduction Our aim is to introduce certain ideas related to the quantitative study of isoperimetric type inequalities. The main efforts are devoted to the proof of a sharp quantitative version of the Euclidean isoperimetric ...
