The various options for a quantum theory of gravity are canvassed. Worries about the consistency and physical plausibility of hybrid theories are laid to rest. These hybrid theories—mongrel gravity—comprise the only current, actual theories of gravity, and they also offer legitimate promise for discovering the full theory of gravity. These theories provide an interesting example of scientific r...

Improvisation is an attempt to transcend the self in a moment of intuitive action. It expression knowledge beyond ordinary consciousness, embodied wisdom emptiness. Unlike composition, as musical practice, improvisation way express depths (un)known and knowing (un)knowing. As framework for artistic research, can provide insight into that yet not easily articulated. In this article, I will docum...

evaluation of the cardiovascular system of canine pediatrics requires awareness of the anatomical and physiological changes occurring from birth to six months of age. the aim of this study was to report electrocardiographic changes in the littermate mongrel dogs from birth tosix months. serial six-lead electrocardiograms were recorded from ten normal littermate mongrel dogs kept on right latera...

Background. Numerous investigators have observed that pulmonary emboli are rapidly lysed in a canine model system. This study was undertaken to delineate the unique mechanism that accounts for the rapid dissolution of pulmonary emboli in mongrel dogs. Methods and Results. Canine plasminogen activator (PA) activity (2.6± 1.1 IU/mL acidified platelet-poor plasma [PPP], <0.3 IU/mL acidified whole ...

the aim of this investigation was to evaluate the use of polypropylene mesh and glycerol preserved bovine pericardium (gbp) to repaire abdominal wall defects in 24 clinically healthy mongrel dogs using inlay and underlay techniques. twenty four healthy mongrel dogs were used in this study. the animals were divided into two main groups according to the type of the prosthetic material used. each ...
