Abstract The effects of high dietary levels of fresh or moderately oxidised fish oilon performance and blood parameters in mink females were investigated during the winter,reproduction, and lactation periods. Furthermore, the effects of the diets on kit performance wereinvestigated during the lactation and early growth periods. (more…)

Abstract In this work we present the first comprehensive survey of Brain Interface(BI) technology designs published prior to January 2006. Detailed results from this survey, whichwas based on the Brain Interface Design Framework proposed by Mason and Birch, are presented anddiscussed to address the following research questions: (more…)

Abstract A study of ewe performance was undertaken in 795 sheep flocks based on datafrom the Norwegian Sheep Recording System. Herd level data included in the annual report for 1998were used as the basis for the study Average flock size was 75.3 ewes. The material was consideredas representative of the better and more motivated sheep farmers in the mountain valley regions insouth-eastern Norway. (more…)

Abstract The pattern of lung injury induced by the inhalation of ozone (O(3)) dependson the dose delivered to different tissues in the airways. This study examined the distribution ofO(3) uptake in a single, symmetrically branched airway bifurcation. Reaction in the epitheliallining fluid was assumed to be so rapid that O(3) concentration was negligible along the entiresurface of the bifurcation wall. (more…)

Abstract Deep pressure ulcers develop in tissues subjected to sustained mechanicalloading. Though it has been hypothesized that this damage mechanism results from local tissueischemia, it has recently been shown with a cell model that sustained compression can cause celldeformation, leading to tissue breakdown.
