Clinical signs and duration of cyanide toxicosis delivered by the M-44 ejector in wild dogs

Sodium cyanide poison is potentially a more humane method to control wild dogs than sodium fluoroacetate (1080) poison. This study quantified the clinical signs and duration of cyanide toxicosis delivered by the M-44 ejector. The device delivered a nominal 0.88 g of sodium cyanide, which caused the animal to loose the menace reflex in a mean of 43 s, and the animal was assumed to have undergone cerebral hypoxia after the last visible breath. The mean time to cerebral hypoxia was 156 s for a vertical pull and 434 s for a side pull. The difference was possibly because some cyanide may be lost in a side pull. There were three distinct phases of cyanide toxicosis: the initial phase was characterised by head shaking, panting and salivation; the immobilisation phase by incontinence, ataxia and loss of the righting reflex; and the cerebral hypoxia phase by a tetanic seizure. Clinical signs that were exhibited in more than one phase of cyanide toxicosis included retching, agonal breathing, vocalisation, vomiting, altered levels of ocular reflex, leg paddling, tonic muscular spasms, respiratory distress and muscle fasciculations of the muzzle.

Developmental and growth controls of tillering and water-soluble carbohydrate accumulation in contrasting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes: can we dissect them?

In wheat, tillering and water-soluble carbohydrates (WSCs) in the stem are potential traits for adaptation to different environments and are of interest as targets for selective breeding. This study investigated the observation that a high stem WSC concentration (WSCc) is often related to low tillering. The proposition tested was that stem WSC accumulation is plant density dependent and could be an emergent property of tillering, whether driven by genotype or by environment. A small subset of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) contrasting for tillering was grown at different plant densities or on different sowing dates in multiple field experiments. Both tillering and WSCc were highly influenced by the environment, with a smaller, distinct genotypic component; the genotypeenvironment range covered 350750 stems m(2) and 25210mg g(1) WSCc. Stem WSCc was inversely related to stem number m(2), but genotypic rankings for stem WSCc persisted when RILs were compared at similar stem density. Low tilleringhigh WSCc RILs had similar leaf area index, larger individual leaves, and stems with larger internode cross-section and wall area when compared with high tilleringlow WSCc RILs. The maximum number of stems per plant was positively associated with growth and relative growth rate per plant, tillering rate and duration, and also, in some treatments, with leaf appearance rate and final leaf number. A common threshold of the red:far red ratio (0.390.44; standard error of the difference0.055) coincided with the maximum stem number per plant across genotypes and plant densities, and could be effectively used in crop simulation modelling as a ocut-off' rule for tillering. The relationship between tillering, WSCc, and their component traits, as well as the possible implications for crop simulation and breeding, is discussed.

Structure of 1,2,4-oxadiazolidine-3,5-dione monohydrate

C2H2N203.H20, Mr= 120.07, monoclinic,P21/c, a= 5.011 (1), b= 11.796(2), c= 7.689 (2)A,fl= 95.22 (2) ° , V= 452.61 A 3, Z= 4, Dx= 1.76, D m = 1.75 gcm -3, /].(Cu Ks) = 1.5418 A, g = 14-0 cm -l,F(000) = 248, T = 293 K, crystal quality was poor and the final R =0.107, wR =0.090 for 881 observed reflections. The compound is derived from a novel form of the monopropellant oxalohydroxamic acid. The two exocyclic C-O bond lengths of 1.240 (3) and 1.228 (4)A indicate double bonds. The C-N bond lengths of 1.334 (4), 1.390 (4) and 1.359 (4) A are characteristic of the amide bond. The N atom covalently bonded to the two carbonyl C atoms acts as a proton donor in an intermolecular hydrogen bond to the ring O atom: N1...O3i = 2.854 ]k (i =x-- 1,y, z), H...O = 2.15 A, N-H...O = 159 °.

Influencia de labranza y control de malezas sobre la cenosis, crecimiento, desarrollo y rendimiento del sorgo (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) var. D-44

De Abril a Julio de 1989 se realizó un ensayo bifactorial en Hacienda Las Mercedes con el objetivo de determinar la influencia de diferentes métodos de labranza y tres métodos de control de malezas sobre el comportamiento de la cenosis, crecimiento, desarrollo y rendimiento del sorgo, encontrándose que en labraba mínima el número de individuaos por m2 fue mayor en relación a la labranza convencional: esta diferencia no solo se manifiesta en abundancia sino también en la dominancia de las maleas. El tratamiento Atraznia en Pre- emergencia ejerció un buen control durante todo el ciclo de las malezas, sin embargo no controló Ciperus rotundius y R. Cochichinensis. Con MCPA se logró un control temporal de las malezas. En cuanto a las variables de rendimiento , la labranza convencional, presento un mayor número de semillas por panoja, mientras que en labranza mínima se logró un mayor peso de 1000 semillas: El rendimiento oscilo entre 1.86 y 3.45 t/ha, demostrando el negativo efecto del enmaleza miento: el mayor rendimiento se presentó en labranza convencional y en el tratamiento MCPA.

Diário da Constituinte [gravação de vídeo] : [programa n. 390]

Termina à meia-noite o prazo de apresentação de Emendas ao projeto de Constituição. Até a parte da manhã tinham sido apresentadas 794 emendas. Todas elas individuais. Foram vários os temas escolhidos pelos constituintes. Uma das emendas beneficia o Vale do São Francisco. Outra traz mais benefícios aos municípios. Outra emenda trata o terrorismo, o tráfico de drogas e a tortura como crimes imprescritíveis, inafiançáveis e não suscetíveis de graça e indulto. O grande movimento tem sido em torno das emendas coletivas. O Centrão e o Grupo dos 32 devem concluir um acordo até à tarde. 5 pontos são considerados divergentes em mais de 300 dispositivos já acordados. Há previsão de que saia um acordão em torno das questões menos polêmicas, deixando para o Plenário a decisão sobre os temas sem consenso. O PFL está reunindo cerca de 40 constituintes para apresentar emendas que tragam garantias na área da cidadania. O presidente da Constituinte considera baixo o número de emendas apresentadas até agora. Ele pede critério na hora do pedido de destaque, para que seja feito apenas quando trouxer uma contribuição ao texto constitucional.

Broadband high-gain optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification near 780 nm with LBO-I near-degenerate near-collinear phase match

Near-degenerative near-collinear phase-match geometry for broadband optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) at approximate to 780 nm is calculated in comparison with nondegenerate noncollinear phase-match geometry. In an experiment on LBO-I near-degenerate near-collinear OPCPA, high gain with broad gain bandwidth (approximate to 71 nm, FWHM) at approximate to 780 nm is achieved by using an approximate to 390-nm pumping pulse. The stretched broadband chirped signal pulse near 780 nm is amplified to approximate to 412 mu J with a pumping energy of approximate to 15 mJ, and the total gain is > 3.7 X 10(6), which agrees well with the calculation. For a broadband (covering approximate to 100 nm) chirped signal pulse, the theoretical gain bandwidth has been attained experimentally for the first time.
