Advances in helioseismology     

Libbrecht KG  Woodard MF 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1991,253(5016):152-157

Globally coherent oscillation modes were discovered in the sun about a decade ago, providing a unique seismological probe of the solar interior. Current observations detect modes that are phase-coherent for up to 1 year, with surface velocity amplitudes as low as 2 millimeters per second, and thousands of mode frequencies have been measured to accuracies as high as 1 part in 10(5). This article discusses the properties of these oscillation modes and the ways in which they are adding to our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the sun.  相似文献   

Feline struvite crystalluria: a comparison of some commercially available dry cat diets in New Zealand     

Tarttelin MF 《New Zealand veterinary journal》1988,36(3):125-127

Thirteen adult cats were each fed consecutively five test diets: firstly a complete canned diet, and then four commercially available dry cat diets (New Formula Biscats, Cat Chow, Go-Cat and Whiskettes) for 7,13, 5, 4 and 4 weeks respectively. Urine samples were tested for pH and presence of struvite crystals. Body weight was recorded weekly. Urine pH was ranked from acid to alkaline as follows: Whiskettes (pH 5.8), canned diet (pH 5.9), Biscats (pH 6.1), Cat Chow (pH 6.45) and Go-Cat (pH 6.5). The pH of urine when cats were fed Whiskettes, Biscats and canned diet was not significantly different. Biscats produced a urine pH significantly higher than Whiskettes but, in each case, these three diets produced a significantly lower urine pH than Cat Chow and Go-Cat. Struvite crystals occurred spontaneously in 9% of urine samples from cats when fed Whiskettes and Biscats, 71% when fed Cat Chow and 38% when fed Go-Cat: spontaneous struvite was not seen in any cat fed CX9. Haematuria was seen in 2.9% (2/69) urine samples from cats fed Cat Chow. One tom cat had a blocked urethra after 24 days on Go-Cat. No abnormalities were observed in any cat when fed canned diet, Biscats or Whiskettes. It was concluded that of the four dry cat diets tested only Biscats and Whiskettes produce urine with an acceptably low rate of spontaneous struvite crystalluria.  相似文献   

Genetic regulation of meat production by embryonic muscle formation - a review     

Pas MF  Visscher AH 《Zeitschrift für Tierzüchtung und Züchtungsbiologie》1994,111(1-6):404-412

SUMMARY: The biological basis for meat production in livestock animals is localized in the muscles, where lean meat production is under the genetic control of tissue-specific and more ubiquitously operating genes. The muscle tissue-specific MyoD gene family is at the centre of the genetic regulation of myoblast proliferation and differentiation into myofibres. The regulation of embryonic muscle tissue formation (development) by the MyoD genes is duscussed in the context of livestock animals used in meat production. The possibility that the MyoD genes could be useful candidate genes for breeding is discussed. It is concluded that marker assisted selection (MAS) using markers in functional genes is advantageous over MAS using associated markers. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Genetische Regulierung der Fleischproduktion bei der embryonalen Muskelbildung - Ein Literaturüberblick Die biologische Grundlage für Fleischproduktion, lokalisiert in den Muskeln, steht unter genetischer Kontrolle durch gewebsspezifische una mehr ubiquit?r arbeitende Gene. Die gewebsspezifische MyoD Genfamilie in den Muskeln befindet sich im Zentrum der genetischen Regulierung des Prozesses der Myoblastteilung und Differenzierung zu Myofasern. Die Ubersicht betrifft Regulierung der Bildung des embryonalen Muskelgewebes (Entwicklung) mit Hilfe der MyoD Gene. Die M?glichkeit, da? MyoD Gene erfolgreiche Kandidatengene für Tierzüchtung sein k?nnen, wird besprochen. 'Marker-assisted selection' (MAS) mit Hilfe von Markern funktioneller Gene sollte vorteilhafter sein als MAS mit gekoppelten DNA-Sequenzen. RéSUMé: Régulation génétique de la production de viande par la formation embryologique des muscles - un résumé La base biologique de la production de viande dans les animaux d'élevage se situe dans les muscles, là où la production de viande maigre est sous contr?le génétique de gènes générals et tissu-spécifiques. La famille des gènes muscle-spécifiques MyoD forme le centre de la régulation des procès de prolifération des myoblastes et de différenciation vers les myofibres. Le but de cet article rétrospectif est de situer la discussion sur la régulation de la formation embryologique des muscles par les gènes MyoD dans le cadre de l'élevage. La possibilité que les gènes MyoD soient des gènes candidats utiles pour l'élevage sera discutée. La conclusion faite est que 'marker assisted selection' (MAS) en employant des marquers situés dans des gènes fonctionnels a plus d'avantages que MAS avec des marquers associés.  相似文献

Optimum test period and associations between standard 140-day test period and shorter test periods for growth rate in station tested beef bulls     

Liu MF  Makarechian M 《Zeitschrift für Tierzüchtung und Züchtungsbiologie》1993,110(1-6):312-317

SUMMARY: The records of 2034 beef bulls representing 931 sire families from ten breeds tested at Ellerslie Test Station, Alberta, Canada, from 1974 to 1987 were analyzed to investigate the feasibility of selecting a shorter test period and study the associations between the growth rate in the standard 140-day test period and that in shorter test periods for accurate evaluation of growth potential of young beef bulls in test station. The results indicated that the period between day 28 and day 112 of the standard test was less affected by herd of origin compared with the standard 140-day test period and therefore could be considered as the short optimum test period. Average daily gain in this period was least affected by herd of origin, and had relatively high heritability which would ensure satisfactory selection response. In order to properly evaluate growth potential of beef bulls and economically make use of the testing facilities, it would be appropriate to have an adjustment period of 56 days (original 28 days plus the first 28-day period of the standard test) followed by a test period of 84 days (between day 28 and day 112 of the standard test). Such a test would result in reduction in management costs while providing a more accurate evaluation of growth potentials of young beef bulls. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Optimale Prüfperiode und Zusammenh?nge zwischen Standard-140-Tage- und kürzerer Prüfung für Wachstumsrate bei Stationsprüfung von Fleischrind-Bullen Leistungsangaben von 2034 Fleischbullen aus 931 Bullennachkommenschaften von 10 Rassen wurden auf der Allersly-Station Alberta, Kanada, von 1974 bis 1987 im Hinblick darauf analysiert, inwieweit Beziehungen zwischen Wachstumsrate in der Standard-140-Tage-Periode und der in kürzeren Zeitabschnitten existieren. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, da? die Prüfperiode zwischen den Tagen 28 und 112 des Standardtests weniger durch Herkunft tangiert wird als die Standard 140-Tagetest-Periode und daher als optimale Prüfperiode betrachtet werden kann. Durchschnittszunahmen waren in dieser Periode am wenigsten durch Herkunft beeinflu?t und haben relativ hohe Heritabilit?t, die hinreicht, um Selektionserfolg zu sichern. Um das Wachstumspotential von Fleischrindbullen zu bewerten und Testanlagen ?konomisch zu nutzen, w?re es angebracht, eine Anpassungsperiode von 56 Tagen (ursprüngliche 28 plus die ersten 28 Tage der bisherigen Testperiode) vor einer eigentlichen Testperiode von 84 Tagen erfolgen zu lassen. Hierdurch würden Managementkosten reduziert und eine genauere Sch?tzung des Wachstumspotentials der Fleischbullen gesichert sein.  相似文献   

Iodine content of commercially-prepared cat foods     

Johnson LA  Ford HC  Tarttelin MF  Feek CM 《New Zealand veterinary journal》1992,40(1):18-20

Twenty-eight varieties of commercially-available cat food (23 canned, 5 dried) were analysed for iodine. The iodine concentration varied from less than 0.37 micromol/kg to 41.8 pmol/kg, wet weight (less than 1.48 micromol/kg to 167 micromol/kg, dry weight). Excessive or insufficient iodine intake or wide swings in iodine intake over prolonged periods may contribute to thyroid disorders in cats.  相似文献

The effect of induced forelimb lameness on thoracolumbar kinematics during treadmill locomotion     

Gómez Alvarez CB  Wennerstrand J  Bobbert MF  Lamers L  Johnston C  Back W  van Weeren PR 《Equine veterinary journal》2007,39(3):197-201

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY: Lameness has often been suggested to result in altered movement of the back, but there are no detailed studies describing such a relationship in quantitative terms. OBJECTIVES: To quantify the effect of induced subtle forelimb lameness on thoracolumbar kinematics in the horse. METHODS: Kinematics of 6 riding horses was measured at walk and at trot on a treadmill before and after the induction of reversible forelimb lameness grade 2 (AAEP scale 1-5). Ground reaction forces (GRF) for individual limbs were calculated from kinematics. RESULTS: The horses significantly unloaded the painful limb by 11.5% at trot, while unloading at walk was not significant. The overall flexion-extension range of back motion decreased on average by 0.2 degrees at walk and increased by 3.3 degrees at trot (P<0.05). Changes in angular motion patterns of vertebral joints were noted only at trot, with an increase in flexion of 0.9 degrees at T10 (i.e. angle between T6, T10 and T13) during the stance phase of the sound diagonal and an increase in extension of the thoracolumbar area during stance of the lame diagonal (0.7degrees at T13, 0.8 degres at T17, 0.5 degres at L1, 0.4 degrees at L3 and 0.3 degrees at L5) (P<0.05). Lameness further caused a lateral bending of the cranial thoracic vertebral column towards the lame side (1.3 degrees at T10 and 0.9 degrees at T13) (P<0.05) during stance of the lame diagonal. CONCLUSIONS: Both range of motion and vertebral angular motion patterns are affected by subtle forelimb lameness. At walk, the effect is minimal, at trot the horses increased the vertebral range of motion and changed the pattern of thoracolumbar motion in the sagittal and horizontal planes, presumably in an attempt to move the centre of gravity away from the lame side and reduce the force on the affected limb. POTENTIAL RELEVANCE: Subtle forelimb lameness affects thoracolumbar kinematics. Future studies should aim at elucidating whether the altered movement patterns lead to back and/or neck dysfunction in the case of chronic lameness.  相似文献   

Comparison of duplex PCR and microscopic techniques for the identification of Babesia bigemina and Babesia bovis in engorged female ticks of Boophilus microplus     

Quintão-Silva MG  Melo MN  Ribeiro MF 《Zoonoses and public health》2007,54(3-4):147-151

A single-step duplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique and traditional microscopic examination of haemolymph smears were used to detect Babesia bigemina and/or Babesia bovis infection in engorged female ticks of Boophilus microplus recovered from calves raised in an endemic area of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. In the PCR amplification of tick-derived DNA, pairs of oligonucleotide primers specific for a 278-bp sequence from B. bigemina and for a 350-bp sequence from B. bovis were used conjointly. The microscopic examination of haemolymph revealed that 16.7% of the engorged ticks were infected with Babesia spp., although no significant differences (rho > 0.05) were found in the infection rate of ticks collected from calves of different age groups. PCR analysis showed that 77.8% of the engorged ticks whose haemolymph contained sporokinetes were infected with B. bigemina, 7.8% with B. bovis and 14.4% with both protozoan species. However, the PCR assay further revealed that, amongst the engorged female ticks whose haemolymph was apparently negative for the presence of sporokinetes, 15.6% were infected with B. bigemina, 2.2% with B. bovis and 10.0% with both species. The duplex PCR method is thus more efficient and sensitive than the microscopic assay and also permits facile identification of the protozoa species present in engorged female ticks.  相似文献
