AIM The present study was aimed to study the use of cell counts as an early indicator of mammary health. MATERIALS AND METHODS Milk and blood cell counts were estimated from 8 healthy, 8 subclinical (SCM), and 8 clinically mastitis (CM) groups of Karan Fries (KF) cows. RESULTS Total leucocyte counts and neutrophil percent in blood and milk somatic cells and milk neutrophil percent of health...

BACKGROUND The objective was to evaluate the impact of urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and subclinical autonomic neuropathy (SANP) on 9-year total (TM) and sudden cardiac mortality (SCM) in recently diagnosed (< 1 year; RD; n = 150) and known (mean duration 11 years; KD; n = 146) NIDDM subjects. METHODS The study was prospective and controlled (n = 150)...

Nowadays, as the use of computers is rapidly spreading to our life, software is getting more and more complex and large in computer systems. Therefore, the software configuration management (SCM) is playing an increasingly important role in the software development process. One of its significant activities is change management, which has an outstanding role in dealing with the continued and co...

Sasang constitutional medicine (SCM) is a traditional form of medicine that is widely used in Korea to clinically diagnose and treat disease. The main characteristic of SCM is its classification of people according to physical constitution. The theory asserts that four different types of physical constitution exist: Taeyang, Soyang, Taeeum, and Soeum. One noticeable clinical observation in SCM ...

Foods make up some of the most complex examples of soft condensed matter (SCM) with which we interact daily. Their complexity arises from several factors: the intricacy of components, the different aggregation states in which foods are encountered, and the multitude of relevant characteristic time and length scales. Because foodstuffs are governed by the rules of SCM physics but with all the co...

Combining with the collaborations between business customers and suppliers, traditional purchasing and logistics functions have evolved into a broader concept of materials and distribution management, namely, supply chain management (SCM) (Tan, 2001). This chapter reviews the literature of SCM from several paths that can be the basis of a proposed framework for SCM within academic and manageria...

Unilateral congenital sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) contracture causing torticollis is well known. Although the unilateral muscular torticollis is quite often recognized, a bilateral contracture of SCM muscle is very rare. A review of the literature showed only three cases of bilateral congenital torticollis reported over the last two decades. We present a case report of a boy with congenita...

Electronic linkages between organizations are an important aspect of modern day supply chains. Organizations implement disparate information / communication systems to integrate their suppliers and customers in a supply chain. Though the underlying technologies and protocols of such information systems may differ, they do possess a common characteristic: they all span boundaries of the supply c...

The TAC SCM server is designed to generate highly variable market conditions in order to challenge the adaptability of competing agents. One problem area for TAC SCM research is the amount of time researchers must expend in order to glean significant results from test simulations. We propose changes to the server that address this issue, in the hope that more efficient testing will lead to more...

McGill’s RedAgent, the winner of the 2003 Trading Agent Competition Supply Chain Management (TAC SCM) scenario is examined. Supply chain management (SCM), the TAC SCM game and RedAgent’s unique market-based approach are introduced and described. RedAgent’s internal PC allocation market is analyzed, drawing comparisons between it and the class of scheduling problems. The paper concludes with som...
