The satellite images of volcanic clouds in Kyushu, Japan during September–November 1989 were studied in connection with the mountain site measurement of atmospheric qualities at Unzen-Nodake and the SO₂ concentration data at Aso Volcano Museum. The images strongly indicate that many high concentration events of SO₂ were the results of the long-range transport of volcanic gas from Mt. Aso and Mt. Sakurajima to these stations. Brief comments on the 2000 eruption of Miyake-jima volcano are added.  相似文献   

Hemolytic anemia caused by Babesia gibsoni infection in dogs.   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Babesia gibsoni caused severe hemolytic anemia in 11 dogs from southern California. The most common clinical signs of B gibsoni infection were lethargy, anorexia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Acute infection with B gibsoni may be misdiagnosed as autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Diagnosis was most reliably determined by identification of the intraerythrocytic parasites on Giemsa-stained blood smears. The pathogenicity of B gibsoni, difficulties in diagnosis, the parasite's resistance to treatment with available drugs, and frequent interstate movement of dogs indicate that this disease may be a serious threat to dogs throughout the United States.  相似文献   

Difference in age at first conception between early and late litters of feral raccoon (Procyon lotor) in Kanagawa prefecture     

Kato T  Uno T  Fujioka Y  Kobayashi K  Takayanagi E  Hayama S 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2012,74(5):637-640

Due to the long parturition period of raccoons, we assumed that age at first conception of late born females was later than that of early born females. From March 2005 to September 2008, 201 females estimated to be younger than 24 months were separated into early- and late-born groups on the basis of their estimated birth month (to the nearest 2 months), and parous status and body mass index (BMI) were examined. Age at first conception of late-born females (over 18 months old) was estimated to be later than that of early-born females (over 12 months old). The average BMI in early-born individuals at 12 months old might have affected their ability to conceive because of body fat deposition.  相似文献   

Hatch timing of two subarctic salmonids in a stream network estimated by otolith increments     

Kevin A. Fitzgerald  Matt R. Haworth  Kevin R. Bestgen  Collin J. Farrell  Shunsuke Utsumi  Osamu Kishida  Hiromi Uno  Yoichiro Kanno 《Fisheries Management and Ecology》2021,28(6):507-515

Hatch timing in autumn-spawning stream salmonids is poorly understood in the subarctic region because snow cover prevents direct sampling of cryptic early life stages. Otolith micro-increment analysis was used to infer hatch dates of white-spotted charr Salvelinus leucomaenis (Pallas) and masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou (Brevoort) in a mainstem-tributary network in northern Japan. Accuracy and precision were validated by ageing hatchery individuals with known hatch date ranges. In July 2018, 93 wild young-of-the-year white-spotted charr and 81 masu salmon were collected and aged. Masu salmon hatched, on average, 24 days earlier (mean = February 8) than white-spotted charr (March 4), and hatch dates spanned a minimum of 2 months for each species. In masu salmon, hatch dates of individuals collected in the mainstem were nearly 3 weeks earlier than those in a tributary. This study provided knowledge on intra- and inter-specific variation in hatch timing of native salmonids in a subarctic stream network.  相似文献   

Indices for nutritional condition and thresholds for winter survival in sika deer in Hokkaido, Japan     

Yokoyama M  Uno H  Suzuki M  Kaji K  Ohtaishi N 《The Japanese journal of veterinary research》2000,48(2-3):119-127

We derived fat indices for sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis) in eastern Hokkaido, Japan, and estimated the probability of over-winter survival with a logistic regression model using fat indices. Kidney fat mass (KFM) appears to be an adequate index of wide range of physical conditions before the onset of severe nutritional stress. When KFM values fell below 20 g, femur (FMF) and mandible cavity fat (MCF) indices declined sharply. FMF and MCF were useful indices for detecting malnourished deer. A logistic regression model describes survival thresholds in two bone fat indices for calves (45%) and three fat indices for adult females (FMF = 25%, MCF = 30%, KFM = 20 g). These models are useful for estimating the probability of winter survival in Hokkaido sika deer.  相似文献   

Effects of the butyric acid‐producing strain Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 on broiler and piglet zootechnical performance and prevention of necrotic enteritis          下载免费PDF全文

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of a probiotic strain Clostridium butyricumMIYAIRI 588 (CBM588) on broiler and weaned piglet health and zootechnical performance. Five field studies were carried out in broilers and five in weaned piglets under European feed additive guidelines. Each study followed a randomized blocked design with two treatments: Control (basal diet) and CBM588 supplemented groups. The zootechnical performance parameters selected were body weight, daily gain, feed intake and feed efficiency (feed:gain). Broilers fed diets with CBM588 gained significantly more weight (+2%, p < .001) and exhibited significantly better feed efficiency (?1.6%, p < .001) in comparison with Controls. Similarly, analysis of pooled data of weaned piglet trials showed that CBM588‐fed piglets were significantly heavier than Controls (+2.6%, p = .014), exhibited significantly higher mean daily gain (+4.7%; p = .004), and significantly improved feed efficiency (?4.2%, p = .001). In addition to the zootechnical efficacy studies, the preventive effect of CBM588 on necrotic enteritis (NE) was assessed in a natural challenge model in broilers where CBM588 reduced the incidence and severity of NE lesions. These data indicate the potential of CBM588 to improve broiler and weaned piglet zootechnical performance, and to make a positive contribution to animal health.  相似文献   

Spectroscopic Studies of the Interaction of Eu(III) with the Roots of Water Hyacinth

The water hyacinth is a plant currentlybeing used throughout the world, including siteswithin 1 km of the Chernobyl nuclear accident, for theremoval of toxic metals from water. We have recentlyshown that the roots of water hyacinth will removelarge quantities of Eu(III) from water. In this studywe were able to determine that carboxylic acids areresponsible for binding the intracellular proportionof Eu(III) in the roots of water hyacinth using thetechniques of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) andInfrared (IR) spectroscopies.  相似文献   

Tbx5 and the retinotectum projection   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Koshiba-Takeuchi K  Takeuchi JK  Matsumoto K  Momose T  Uno K  Hoepker V  Ogura K  Takahashi N  Nakamura H  Yasuda K  Ogura T 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2000,287(5450):134-137

Dorsal and ventral aspects of the eye are distinct from the early stages of development. The developing eye cup grows dorsally, and the choroidal fissure is formed on its ventral side. Retinal axons from the dorsal and ventral retina project to the ventral and dorsal tectum, respectively. Misexpression of the Tbx5 gene induced dorsalization of the ventral side of the eye and altered projections of retinal ganglion cell axons. Thus, Tbx5 is involved in eye morphogenesis and is a topographic determinant of the visual projections between retina and tectum.  相似文献   

Pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of oxytetracycline in vannamei shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) and the effect of processing on the residues in muscle and shell     

Kazuaki Uno  Tidaporn Chaweepack  Lila Ruangpan 《Aquaculture International》2010,18(6):1003-1015

The present study examined the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of oxytetracycline (OTC) in vannamei shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) after intra-sinus (10 mg/kg) and oral (10 and 50 mg/kg) administration and also investigated the net changes of OTC residues in the shrimp after the thermal, acid and alkaline processing methods. The hemolymph concentrations of OTC after intra-sinus dosing were best described by a two-compartment open model. The oral bioavailability was found to be 48.2 and 43.6% at doses of 10 and 50 mg OTC/kg, respectively. The peak hemolymph concentrations after 10 and 50 mg OTC/kg doses were 3.37 and 17.4 μg/ml; the times to peak hemolymph concentrations were 7 and 10 h. The elimination half-lives were found to be 15.0 and 11.5 h for the low and high dose, respectively. The residual OTC was rapidly eliminated from muscle with the elimination half-life value of 19.4 and 15.4 h, respectively, for the groups treated with doses of 10 and 50 mg/kg. The residual OTC levels in the muscle fell below the MRL (0.2 μg/g) at 72 and 96-h post-dosing at dose levels of 10 or 50 mg/kg, respectively. Residual OTC levels in muscle and shell were approximately 20–50% lower in the thermal treatment such as boiling, baking and frying. By the acid treatment, OTC residues were reduced to >80%, while those were reduced to around 30% by alkaline treatment.  相似文献
