Net energy, protein and macrominerals requirements for 70 to 120 day old female rabbits

In order to determine the net energy, protein and macrominerals requirements of 70 to 120 day old, 52 female White New Zealand rabbits, weighing 1900g +/- 40g were used. At the beginning of the experimental period, 14 of the 52 young does were slaughtered and the 38 remaining animals were kept under two dietary management: ad libitum and restricted feeding. Slaughters were performed to determine each nutrient body content. The weight gain nutrient requirements depicted by the quantities of each nutrient stored into the body were obtained by applying the regression equation, which estimate the empty body nutrient content logarithm as a function of the empty body weight logarithm, as described by ARC (1980). By determining the heat production logarithm at the zero level of metabolizable energy intake, the maintenance net energy requirement was estimated to be 45.31 Kcal/day/Kg(0.75) the mean net energy. protein, calcium, phosphorous, sodium, magnesium and potassium requirements for each gram of weight gain per day were estimated to be, 2.51 Kcal, 0.21g, 0.02g, 0.005g, 0.001g, 0.0004g and 0.002g, respectively.

Maternal-calf relationships and their influence on calves up to 120 days

Objectives. To research parental behavior and measure the weight of Nelore and Guzerat calves up to 120 days of age, collecting data from birth up to the first lactation. Materials and methods. Seven different corporal positions were considered to obtain specific data for each of the following categories: time to stand (TP), time to intend to feed after standing (TPTM), weight at birth (PN), weight at 120 days (P120), and time in contact with the calf (TCC). Additionally, independent variables were also evaluated, organized by class: weight at birth (CPN), number of calvings (CNP), order of calving in relation with the herd (CLPR), time of calving (CHP), and finally, hindering to feed (CTAT). Results. There was a significant result in favor of the Nelore race over the Guzerat race. The statistical averages for Nelore and Guzerat were: Time to stand averaged 71 and 153 minutes; time to intend to feed after standing, 39 minutes for Nelore and of 114 minutes for Guzerat. For variable weight at 120 days, Nelore reached an average of 122 kg, and Guzerat 109 kg. For the time in contact with the calf variable there was no significant variance between races. Conclusions. Results showed the superiority of the Nelore race, considering it better adapted to local environmental conditions.

Jaeger Family Scrapbook - Accession 211 - M94 (120)

The Jaeger Family Scrapbook titled “The House That Papa Built”, written by Ella Jaeger Smith, contains photographs and history of the family house built by Henry John Jaeger in Florence,SC as well as biographical sketches of various members of the Jaeger family. The scrapbook contains information on Winthrop graduates Janet Lawrence Jaeger (Class of 1907); Lillian Jaeger Spratt (Class of 1910); Mary Jaeger Lewis (attended Winthrop); Blanche Jaeger Patrick (Class of 1917); and Ella Jaeger Smith (Class of 1923).

Percepção da fala de usuários de implante coclear com a estratégia HiRes 120: revisão sistemática

Apesar dos avanços tecnológicos empregados nas estratégias de processamento do sinal, um dos obstáculos ainda existentes são as lacunas de detalhes espectrais na informação elétrica transmitida. Considerando a sua importância na percepção da fala, pesquisadores investigaram mecanismos para otimizar o detalhamento espectral, por meio dos canais espectrais virtuais. A aplicação clínica desta técnica resultou em uma nova estratégia de processamento de sinal - a HiRes 120. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o desempenho auditivo de usuários de Implante Coclear com a HiRes 120. METODOLOGIA: Levantamento bibliográfico conduzido em base eletrônica de dados, com busca padronizada até o ano de 2011, utilizando-se palavras-chave específicas. Para a seleção e avaliação dos estudos científicos levantados na busca, foram estabelecidos critérios, contemplando os aspectos: tipo de estudo, participantes, intervenção adotada e avaliação dos resultados. CONCLUSÃO: As evidências científicas apontam uma melhora do desempenho auditivo nas situações de ruído com a estratégia HiRes 120, mas tal fato não ocorre nas situações de silêncio. A otimização da percepção da fala com o uso da estratégia está intimamente relacionada com a idade do usuário de implante coclear, com o tempo de privação sensorial e o tempo de aclimatização necessário para o aproveitamento das informações espectrais da estratégia.

Monte Carlo implementation, validation, and characterization of a 120 leaf MLC

Recently, the new high definition multileaf collimator (HD120 MLC) was commercialized by Varian Medical Systems providing high resolution in the center section of the treatment field. The aim of this work is to investigate the characteristics of the HD120 MLC using Monte Carlo (MC) methods.

The purpose of this study was to simulate pulmonary emboli (PE) and image quality at low tube energy and reduced contrast material volume in normal-dose pulmonary CT angiography (CTA) images and to analyze the diagnostic accuracy with normal- and low-dose pulmonary CTA.

[A million football fans in a city of 120,000 inhabitants--a nightmare for emergency medicine and disaster management? Euro 2008 and the "Orange wonder of Berne"]

The 2008 European Football Championship 2008 (Euro 08) is the largest sporting event ever organized in Switzerland. One million visitors came to the city of Berne during the event and the local airport in Bern/Belp registered 261 extra flights. For each football game there were 33,000 fans in the stadium and 100,000 fans in the public viewing zones.The ambulance corps and the Department of Emergency Medicine (ED) at Inselspital, University Hospital Berne, were responsible for basic medical care and emergency medical management. Injuries and illnesses were analyzed by a standardized score (NACA score). The preparation strategy as well as costs and patient numbers are presented in detail.A total of 30 additional ambulance vehicles were used, 4,723 additional working days (one-third medical professionals) were accumulated, 662 ambulance calls were registered and 240 persons needed medical care (62% Swiss, 28% Dutch and 10% other nationalities). Among those needing treatment 51 were treated in 1 of the 4 city hospitals. No injuries with NACA grades VI and VII occurred (NACA I: 4, NACA II: 17, NACA III: 16, NACA IV: 10 and NACA V: 4 patients). The city of Berne compensated the Inselspital Bern with a total of 112,603 Euros for extra medical care costs. The largest amount was spent on security measures (50,300 Euros) and medical staff (medical doctors 22,600 Euros, nurses 29,000 Euros). Because of the poor weather and the exemplary behavior of the fans, the course of events was rather peaceful.
