Occurrence of Staphylococcus intermedius on the hair and skin of normal dogs.     

R P Allaker  D H Lloyd  A I Simpson 《Research in veterinary science》1992,52(2):174-176

Aerobic bacterial populations were studied on the distal hair coat and at the skin surface of the shoulder, rump and abdomen of 10 healthy dogs. Coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) were more frequently isolated from the hair than the skin at the shoulder and rump. There was no difference in the isolation rate of coagulase positive staphylococci (CPS) (Staphylococcus intermedius) between the hair and skin. Total skin counts were greatest on the abdomen whereas CNS counts from the hair were least at this site. There were no differences between CPS counts at the three sites on either hair or skin. The populations on the relatively unfavourable microenvironment of the distal hair may represent contamination rather than colonisation. The low populations of CPS at the skin surface also indicate contamination or transient colonisation rather than true resident status.  相似文献   

Comparison of Three Solvent Systems for Extraction of Chlorophyll a from Fish Pond Phytoplankton Communities     

Steven W. Lloyd  Craig S. Tucker 《Journal of the World Aquaculture Society》1988,19(2):36-40

Chloroform-methanol (2:1 v/v), absolute methanol, and 90% acetone were evaluated for their effectiveness as extractants of chlorophyll a from samples of phytoplankton communities collected from catfish ponds. Chloroform-methanol consistently extracted more chlorophyll a than either 90% acetone or methanol. Precision for the methanol extraction was also unacceptably low, with an average coefficient of variation of 17%. Average coefficients of variation for the chloroform-methanol and 90% acetone extraction procedures were 6 and 5%, respectively. Filtered samples should be steeped in chloroform-methanol for at least 4 h to obtain maximum chlorophyll extraction, and the addition of MgCO₃ to the extractant as a buffer is not necessary.  相似文献   

CLINICAL USE OF ^99mTC-MDP SCINTIGRAPHY IN THE EQUINE MANDIBLE AND MAXILLA     

Michael R.  Metcalf  DVM  MS  Lloyd P.  Tate  DVM  Loouis C.  Sellett  MS 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》1989,30(2):80-87

^99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) radionuclide imaging examinations were done in four horses having clinical evidence of skull trauma or infection. Radiographs were made of each horse prior to scintigraphy. Four case histories are presented. In each instance, scintigraphy provided complementary information to that obtainable through radiography, which aided in accurately localizing and characterizing the site and extent of abnormalities, and which proved particularly valuable as an aid for therapeutic planning.  相似文献   

Structure of the sheep epidermis.     

D H Lloyd  S F Amakiri  D M Jenkinson 《Research in veterinary science》1979,26(2):180-182

The stratum corneum measured on fresh frozen sections was found to be considerably thicker than previously reported. It was uniformly permeated with sebum, which also formed an intact film over the skin surface and it could readily be divided into two zones. The living epidermis was approximately half as thick as the stratum corneum.  相似文献   

Evaluating evaporation from field crops using airborne radiometry and ground-based meteorological data     

Ray D. Jackson  M. Susan Moran  Lloyd W. Gay  Lee H. Raymond 《Irrigation Science》1987,8(2):81-90

Summary Airborne measurements of reflected solar and emitted thermal radiation were combined with ground-based measurements of incoming solar radiation, air temperature, windspeed, and vapor pressure to calculate instantaneous evaporation (LE) rates using a form of the Penman equation. Estimates of evaporation over cotton, wheat, and alfalfa fields were obtained on 5 days during a one-year period. A Bowen ratio apparatus, employed simultaneously, provided ground-based measurements of evaporation. Comparison of the airborne and ground techniques showed good agreement, with the greatest difference being about 12% for the instantaneous values. Estimates of daily (24 h) evaporation were made from the instantaneous data. On three of the five days, the difference between the two techniques was less than 8%, with the greatest difference being 25%. The results demonstrate that airborne remote sensing techniques can be used to obtain spatially distributed values of evaporation over agricultural fields.  相似文献   

THE YIELD AND UPTAKE OF PHOSPHORUS BY GRASSES AND CLOVERS     

W. Lloyd  Jenkins 《Grass and Forage Science》1962,17(3):198-205

When perennial ryegrass and wild white clover are grown in a phosphorus-deficient soil, there is a difference in the extent to which they use the added phosphorus, especially when the phosphorus supply (potential) is small. In these circumstances the clover makes the better use of the phosphorus. The similarity of the Larsen values obtained with these two species, however, indicates that this must be largely due to the species absorbing the phosphorus at different rates, and not to any interspecific difference in ability to utilize the supply. Both perennial ryegrass and cocksfoot gave higher L values for the hay than for the pasture variety, indicating that slowly-exchangeable phosphorus might be more accessible to the former than the latter. Perennial ryegrass, cocksfoot, timothy, wild white clover and red clover showed minimum values for L at varying times after sowing which were characteristic of the species. This is explained in terms of the isotopic exchange reactions taking place.  相似文献   

Experiments to determine the fate of dead birds at sea     

Colin J. Bibby  Clare S. Lloyd 《Biological conservation》1977,12(4):295-309

This paper describes three experiments aimed at determining the proportion of dead birds at sea which come ashore and are found by members of the public, and discusses the results in relation to wind velocities. From 11% to 58% of the ringed (Larus spp.) corpses thrown into the Irish Sea between Liverpool and the Isle of Man on three occassions in 1973 and early 1974 were recovered. There were large differences between experiments in the timing of the recoveries, although half usually occurred within 11–14 days of dropping. The resultant wind velocities during the time the first bodies recovered from each experiment were at sea were calculated. Comparison of the observed and expected tracks of these bodies confirmed that the wind was the main factor influencing the direction of drift. Gull corpses drifted at a minimum of 2·55±0·93% of the wind speed, although there was much variation and some travelled at over 4% windspeed. With a few exceptions, the observed distribution of recoveries could be broadley predicted by wind vector analysis. The amount of onshore wind when the bodies had reached coastal waters was not related to the subsequent recovery rates. Further experiments are necessary if some of our findings are to be explained and examination of the effect of tidal cycles on the beaching of corpses would also be of value.  相似文献
