The Laboratory Pig

The Laboratory Pig

Kirsten Rosenmay Jacobsen; Aage K Olsen Alstrup; Axel K. Hansen; Peter Bollen

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
nidottu
Since the popular second edition of The Laboratory Swine was published more than a decade ago, the number of pigs used in toxicity studies has increased as an alternative to commonly used non-rodent species, while, at the same time, large developments have been made in welfare concepts of laboratory animals. Pigs have gained prominence in both basic and applied research, leading to a significant increase in publication activity.This third edition summarizes these new insights, raising the bar for humane care and use of pigs, from agricultural sources to genetically and microbiological defined minipigs. Aimed at animal caretakers, technicians, laboratory animal veterinarians, and investigators planning and performing studies on pigs, it provides an overview with extensive references for further study. The book has been updated with a special focus on refined methods for housing and handling pigs, including an updated description of commonly performed experimental and surgical procedures.Continuing its legacy as the premier reference on the care and use of pigs in the laboratory, the small, practical, and accessible format makes this an easy "go-to" book, with easy-to-find information and high-quality color images. The third edition aims to contribute to humane use and care for laboratory pigs in all aspects of housing, husbandry, veterinary care, and experimental techniques.

Analog Circuit Design Techniques at 0.5V

Analog Circuit Design Techniques at 0.5V

Shouri Chatterjee; K.P. Pun; Nebojša Stanic; Yannis Tsividis; Peter Kinget

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2010
nidottu
Analog design at ultra-low supply voltages is an important challenge for the semiconductor research community and industry. Analog Circuit Design Techniques at 0.5V covers challenges for the design of MOS analog and RF circuits at a 0.5 V power supply voltage. All design techniques presented are true low voltage techniques - all nodes in the circuits are within the power supply rails. The circuit implementations of body and gate input fully differential amplifiers are also discussed. These building blocks enable us to build continuous-time filters, track-and-hold circuits, and continuous-time sigma delta modulators. Current books on low voltage analog design typically cover techniques for supply voltages down to approximately 1V. This book presents novel ideas and results for operation from much lower supply voltages and the techniques presented are basic circuit techniques that are widely applicable beyond the scope of the presented examples. Analog Circuit Design Techniques at 0.5V is written for analog circuit designers and researchers as well as graduate students studying semiconductors and integrated circuit design.

Dextrananaphylaxie, Pathomechanismus und Prophylaxe

Dextrananaphylaxie, Pathomechanismus und Prophylaxe

Heinz Laubenthal; K. Meßmer; K. Peter

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
1986
nidottu
Kolloidale Infusionsloesungen sind wesentlicher Bestandteil der prima- ren Volumenersatztherapie, sie sind erforderlich fur die pra- und intra- operative Hamodilution und werden in zunehmendem Umfange zur In- duktion einer Hamodilution bei peripheren und zerebralen Durchblu- tungsstoerungen angewandt. Unter den Kolloiden kommt den Loesun- gen von Dextran 60 und Dextran 40 aufgrund der sicheren Volumen- effekte, der gunstigen Wirkung auf die Fliesseigenschaften des Blutes und die Mikrozirkulation und ihrer sicheren antithrombotischen Wir- kung besondere Bedeutung zu. Allen Kolloiden gemeinsam sind Unver- traglichkeitsreaktionen anaphylaktoider bzw. anaphylaktischer Natur, die mit einer Haufigkeit von etwa 1% auftreten, jedoch im Einzelfall von lebensbedrohendem Charakter sein koennen. Schwere Zwischenfal- le mit z. T. letalem Ausgang sind immer wieder nach Infusion von we- nigen Millilitern Dextran berichtet worden, diese Nebenwirkungen ha- ben die Anwendung von Dextran in den letzten Jahren stark belastet. Aus diesem Grunde wurden vor etwa 15 Jahren von der Arbeits- gruppe Messmer, Richter und Hedin systematische Untersuchungen zur Frage des Pathomechanismus und einer moeglichen Pravention dieser Reaktion aufgenommen. Im Band 111 dieser Reihe hat Johannes Ring die Ergebnisse einer multizentrischen Studie zur Frage anaphylaktoi- der Reaktionen nach Infusion naturlicher und kunstlicher Kolloide vor- gelegt. Erstmals war in dieser Studie gezeigt worden, dass im Serum von Patienten, die eine schwere anaphylaktoide Reaktion nach Infusi- on von Dextran erlitten haben, Titer gegen Dextran gerichteter Anti- koerper nachweisbar sind.

A Twenty-First Century U.S. Water Policy

A Twenty-First Century U.S. Water Policy

Oxford University Press Inc
2012
sidottu
As is becoming clearer and clearer, pressures on water resources in the United States are growing, with no foreseeable end in sight. Yet these pressures are not due to a national water scarcity. While the Southwest faces the problems of draught, a rising population, and over-allocation of resources, the Northeast and Northern Plains must deal with increasingly wet weather and flooding. The greatest challenges that the United States faces with regard to water are regional disparities in availability, a changing climate, worsening water quality, and, increasingly, controversies over management strategies and policies. While many countries have adopted federal approaches to water management, the United States has no cohesive national water policy. In fact, the oversight of current water policy is shared by over sixty different agencies,and the last national water assessment undertaken in the United States occurred over forty years ago. The lack of coordinated oversight not only renders national policymakers unable to make informed analyses of water quality standards and availability, it also results in large gaps of understanding regarding variability of water resources and how to most efficiently and effectively manage and preserve those resources. A Twenty-First Century U.S. Water Policy culls together independent analysis of freshwater availability; water usage in agriculture, municipalities, tribal settlements, and energy production; exisiting legal frameworks; environmental justice movements; and data on water quality and climate change. The result is a visionary proposal for a coherent and critically needed federal water policy.

The majority of undergraduate texts in invertebrate zoology (of which there are many) fall into one of two categories. They either offer a systematic treatment of groups of animals phylum by phylum, or adopt a functional approach to the various anatomical and physiological systems of the better known species. The Invertebrates is the first and only textbook to integrate both approaches and thus meet the modern teaching needs of the subject. This is the only invertebrate textbook to integrate systematics and functional approaches. The molecular systematics sections have been completely updated for the new edition. Strong evolutionary theme which reflects the importance of molecular techniques throughout. Distills the essential characteristics of each invertebrate group and lists diagnostic features to allow comparisons between phyla. New phyla have been added for the new edition. Stresses comparisons in physiology, reproduction and development. Improved layout and illustration quality. Second edition has sold 14000 copies. Nature of the first edition: 'Students will like this book. It deserves to succeed.'
