Examination of the origin of increased equine serum alkaline phosphatase concentrations   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Serum alkaline phosphatase activity was found to be increased in 32.6% of equine samples analyzed at the Ontario Veterinary College over an 18 month period. An attempt was made using sensitivity to L-phenylalanine and heat to identify the origin of increased serum alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes present in 44 clinical cases. No difference in sensitivity to either procedure was observed for serum alkaline phosphatase from groups of foals and horses representing different clinical problems. Alkaline phosphatase of osseous tissue origin appeared to be the major source of activity for each group of animals reported.  相似文献

Bivalve mollusks: fluid dynamics of burrowing     

Trueman ER 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1966,152(3721):523-525

When bivalves burrow into soft substrates the foot is first extended and then dilated to obtain a firm anchorage before retraction pulls the shell downward. Pedal dilation is principally caused by adduction of the valves. The hinged shell futnctions as a hydraulic machine in which the strength of the adductor muscles is transferred to the distal part of the foot by means of the body fluids.  相似文献   

Assessing in vivo Fertilizing Capacity of Liquid-Preserved Boar Semen According to the 'Hanover Gilt Model'     

F Ardón  A Döhring  X Le Thi  KF Weitze  D Waberski 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2003,38(2):161-165

The goal of this study was to determine the ability of the Hanover gilt model to assess in vivo fertilizing capacity of preserved sperm and to consider whether any modifications to this model were needed. This model evaluates the fertilizing capacity of semen based on the fertilization rate, the rate of normal embryos and the accessory sperm count of 3–5‐day embryos. Its distinguishing characteristics are the use of one‐time insemination of sperm in reduced numbers, of spontaneously ovulating gilts and of ovulation detection through ultrasound examination of ovaries. Reduced sperm numbers allow for an accurate evaluation of the fertilizing potential of different semen treatments, thereby avoiding the compensatory effect of doses calibrated to maximize fertility. The model's usefulness was assessed in a trial run designed to compare the fertilizing capacity of liquid boar semen diluted into two different extenders. The diluent, the boar and the backflow, had no significant effect on any of the parameters studied. Gilts inseminated less than 24 h before ovulation had a significantly higher (p < 0.01) fertilization rate and accessory sperm cell count (p < 0.05) than those inseminated more than 24 h before ovulation. Very good/good embryos from homogeneous litters (only very good/good embryos were present) had a significantly higher (p < 0.01) accessory sperm count than those from heterogeneous litters (at least one embryo was of a different quality and/or oocytes were present). Both very good/good and degenerated/retarded embryos from heterogeneous litters had low accessory sperm numbers. This suggests that accessory sperm count is significantly related to the quality of the litter, but not to the quality of the embryo within gilts. It can be concluded that the Hanover gilt model is sensitive enough to show fertility differences (in this study, those associated with in vivo ageing of semen), while using relatively few gilts and little time.  相似文献

Experimental immunization of calves against Anaplasma marginale infection: observations on the use of living A. centrale and A. marginale     

A.J. Wilson  R. Parker  K.F. Trueman 《Veterinary parasitology》1980,7(4):305-311

Groups of Bos indicus cross calves aged 6 months were immunized with Anaplasma centrale or A. marginale. All animals were challenged with 10¹⁰A. marginale 7 months later. Groups immunized with A. marginale were refractory to challenge, whereas only a portion of the animals vaccinated with A. centrale were immune. Following immunization, animals that had experienced a good primary antibody response as measured by a complement fixation test, a marked reduction in packed cell volume, and a high parasitaemia, resisted a subsequent challenge with A. marginale. Resistance was characterised by a weak secondary antibody response and the absence of A. marginale in blood films  相似文献   

Desert reclamation using Yellow River irrigation water in Ningxia, China     

M.A. Fullen  W. Fearnehough  D.J. Mitchell  I.C. Trueman 《Soil Use and Management》1995,11(2):77-83

Abstract. The effects of silt-laden Yellow River irrigation water on the properties of reclaimed dune sands were investigated at the Shapotou Research Station in Ningxia Autonomous Region, China. The practice resulted in distinct and rapid improvements in the physical and chemical properties of reclaimed desert soils. Irrigation led to the development of sandy loam topsoils, with up to 39 cm accumulating over 25 years of treatment. These topsoils had improved structure, greater soil organic matter contents and smaller bulk densities than buried desert sands. Geochemical analyses suggested river silt and sheep manure were making distinctive contributions to the improved soil fertility, with older topsoils having progressively greater concentrations of Ca, Mg, K, P, S, Fe, Mn and Zn. Soil Cr concentrations are increasing and it seems appropriate that changes in heavy metal concentrations in irrigated soils are monitored.  相似文献

Interdisciplinary historical vegetation mapping for ecological restoration in Galapagos     

Mandy Trueman  Richard J. Hobbs  Kimberly Van Niel 《Landscape Ecology》2013,28(3):519-532

Improving our knowledge of pre-anthropogenic landscapes is vital for understanding landscape-scale heterogeneity and for setting goals and objectives for ecological restoration. This is especially important in highly modified landscapes that contain few remnants of pre-impact ecosystems. This study aims to develop new methodology to improve understanding of historical vegetation, using the now-degraded inhabited highlands of the Galapagos Islands as a case study. Our multidisciplinary approach innovatively combines data from interviews with residents who were familiar with the vegetation before most degradation occurred with the more traditional sources of historical aerial photography and information from early explorer and scientist reports. We reconstruct historical vegetation across the landscape by mapping it in the year 1960 and discussing this map in the historical context of anthropogenic change. Our results confirm published vegetation types but also define some other types not previously described, and suggest much greater spatial, temporal and structural heterogeneity than commonly understood. This result can be used by Galapagos land managers to better match species assemblages with sites and plan restoration actions that will maximise resilience against the ongoing and future threats of climate change and species invasions. Our methodology can be applied in extensive areas of the world where the majority of anthropogenic disturbance to natural ecosystems has been within the past 60 years.  相似文献
