Patellar luxation is the result of progressive structural abnormalities in the soft and/or skeletal tissues of the dog’s pelvic limbs. There is an alteration of the patella-trochlear groove interaction with negative effects on the stifle stability and extensor mechanism integrity, on the trochlear articular cartilage nutrition and the adequate trochlear depth and length development and maintena...

Abstract Lombardoite, ideally Ba 2 Mn 3+ (AsO 4 ) (OH), and aldomarinoite, Sr are two new minerals of the arsenbrackebuschite group in brackebuschite supergroup, discovered Fe–Mn ore metaquartzites abandoned mine Valletta, Canosio, Val Maira, Cuneo Province, Piedmont, Italy. They occur as red–brown orange brown, respectively, subhedral crystals (< 0.5 mm) thin masses, associated with quartz,...

Some philosophers hold that ‘ought’ is ambiguous between a sense expressing a propositional operator and a sense expressing a relation between an agent and an action. We defend the opposing view that ‘ought’ always expresses a propositional operator against objections that it cannot adequately accommodate an ambiguity in ‘ought’ sentences between evaluative and deliberative readings, predicting...

We report the results of a series of current scaling experiments with the Z accelerator for the compact, single, 20-mm diameter, 10-mm long, tungsten-wire arrays employed for the double-ended hohlraum ICF concept [M. E. Cuneo, Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 48, R1 (2006)]. We measured the z -pinch peak radiated x-ray power and total radiated x-ray energy as a function of the peak current, at a ...

AIRWAY HYPERRESPONSIVENESS in bronchial asthma is deemed to be sustained by airway wall inflammation, which ultimately triggers the airway smooth muscle (ASM) to contract. Yet the magnitude of the resulting airway narrowing in vivo depends on several factors, including the ASM mass, its contractility, and the loads on it (3). One of the key mechanisms regulating airway caliber is provided by th...

Private-label brands (PLB) today are a well-established facet in many product categories worldwide, and as such have increasingly captured the attention of researchers. Even so, the consumer-based brand equity (CBBE) of PLBs (PL-CBBE) has remained largely unexplored (Cuneo et al 2012). To help fill this void, this study examines the CBBE and its underlying dimensions of two different product ca...

The addition of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) to fludarabine-cyclophosphamide or bendamustine has led a remarkable improvement in both progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) young elderly CLL patients with favorable prognostic markers.1 However, chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) is ineffective cases TP53 gene disruption, that is, deletion short arm chromosome 17 [del(17p)] and/or mut...
