The influence of osteochondrosis (OC), in yearling Standardbred horses on subsequent two and three-year old racing performance and the influence of sire on rates of OC in Illinois Standardbred horses
… the last 50 years has been the effect of Osteochondrosis (OC) in horses and how OC affects their performance on the race track. Osteochondrosis is an orthopedic disease that involves the failure of endochondral ossification affecting the articular cartilage. This generally occurs in the early …

Coupled Biogeochemical Cycles of Iron and Organic Carbon in Soils
Soil organic carbon (OC) is one of the largest carbon (C) reservoirs on the Earth's surface. Because of the high sorption affinity of iron (Fe) minerals for OC, the redox reactions of Fe potentially play an important role in regulating the stability and transformation of OC in soils. Fate of …

Influence of firing temperature on ceramic properties of kaolinitic clays from Duthuni, Limpopo Province (South Africa)
… area, subjected to four firing temperatures (800 oC, 900 oC, 1000 oC and 1100 oC).The objectives were to ascertain the effects of the raw clay physical, mineralogical, chemical characteristics on its ceramic potential, elucidate on the thermal evolution and associated mineral phase …

Aspects of modelling variability of single cell lag time for Cronobacter spp. after exposure to sublethal heat treatment in normal and stressful environments
… of Cronobacter spp. at low temperature (4 oC to 8 oC) and their thermal resistance to mild heat treatment (48 oC to 50 oC) were investigated with a view to developing a model to predict lag times of individual cells, using a strain with a relatively high thermotolerance and able to grow …

Geochemical controls on the distribution and composition of biogenic and sedimentary carbon
Organic carbon (OC) preserved in marine sediments acts as a reduced carbon sink that balances the global carbon cycle. Understanding the biogeochemical mechanisms underpinning the balance between OC preservation and degradation is thus critical both to quantifying this carbon reservoir and to …

Carbon storage and preservation in seagrass meadows
… unaddressed in regards to the organic carbon (OC) sequestration capacity and processes leading to retention and persistence of OC in seagrass sediments. The research summarised in this dissertation examined 37 sediment cores from twelve Australian seagrass meadows (Posidonia australis and …

Organic Carbon Cycling in East China Sea Shelf Sediments: Linkages with Hypoxia
… sediment and terrestrial derived organic carbon (OC) to the Changjiang large delta-front estuary (LDE) in the East China Sea (ECS). This study analyzed bulk OC, biomarkers including lignin and plant pigment, black carbon (BC) on ECS sediments sampled in winter 2009 and 2010 in order to study the …

Microstructural, geochronologic and thermochronologic evidence for both Paleo- and Mesoproterozoic displacement across the Gneiss Canyon shear zone : lower Granite Gorge, Grand Canyon, Arizona
… D2 strain up to 100m wide that separate blocks of preserved northwest-striking D1 fabric. Previous investigations of D2 domains show west-side-up and dextral displacement forming at amphibolite grade. D2 field and microstructures suggest deformation temperatures of >500 oC. Zoned monazite …

Mechanism of tissue transglutaminase upregulation and its role in ovarian cancer metastasis
Ovarian cancer (OC) is a lethal disease due to metastasis and chemoresistance. Our laboratory previously reported that tissue transglutaminase (TG2) is overexpressed in OC and enhances OC peritoneal metastasis. TG2 is a multifunctional protein which catalyzes Ca2+-dependent cross-linking of …

The Relationship between Mindfulness and Obsessive Compulsive Symptoms in a Community Sample
Background Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a complex, heterogeneous condition which can result in many psychological, behavioural and emotional difficulties, negatively impacting on quality of life. Current recommended treatments are not well tolerated and/or have limited success, for some …

Influence of Oral Contraceptives on Selected Hormonal and Metabolic Responses to Prolonged Submaximal Exercise in Moderately Active Women
… assessed the influence of oral contraceptives (OC) on growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) responses to and energy substrate utilization during prolonged submaximal treadmill exercise (90 min at 50% VO$\sb2$ max). Subjects consisted of moderately active women (18-30 yrs) in a low dose OC …

Damage evaluation in dimension limestone using nonlinear ultrasonics
… limestone samples to temperature levels of 100 oC, 200 oC, 300 oC, 500 oC, 600 oC, and 700 oC for a period of 90 minutes. The samples were then nondestructively tested using nonlinear ultrasonics in the form of a non-collinear ultrasonic wave mixing approach. In addition, the test samples’ …

Colloid Formation Resulting from Alum Coagulation of Organic-Laden Sourcewaters
… colloidal matter was defined as organic carbon (OC) retained by a 30 kilodalton ultrafiltration membrane, and particulate matter was defined as OC retained by a 1μm glass-fiber filter. Coagulation pH had a considerable impact on residual OC colloid formation, signified by more colloids formed as …

Seasonal Pattern and Sources of Particulate Carbon in Kananaskis and Calgary, Alberta
… pattern of elemental carbon(EC), organic carbon(OC), and total carbon from dry deposition and precipitation in Kananaskis and Calgary were assessed using thermo-optical methods. Vehicle exhaust was inferred to be dominant source of carbon throughout the year with an identical OC/EC of 22±14 in …

Comparison of left 4th and 5th intercostal space thoracotomy for open-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation in dogs
Open-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (OC-CPR) is indicated in certain cardiopulmonary arrest situations such as thoracic trauma. Laboratory research and clinical studies in human medicine have established the superiority of OC-CPR compared to closed-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CC-CPR) …
