Neurodevelopmental scaling is a major driver of brain–behavior differences in temperament across dog breeds
Behavioral traits like aggression, anxiety, and trainability differ significantly across dog breeds and are highly heritable. However, the neural bases of these differences are unknown. Here we analyzed struct...

Convection-enhanced delivery of cetuximab conjugated iron-oxide nanoparticles for treatment of spontaneous canine intracranial gliomas
Cetuximab conjugated iron-oxide nanoparticles (cetuximab-IONPs) have shown both in-vitro and in-vivo anti-tumor efficacy against gliomas. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the safety and potentia...

Updated postoperative nomogram incorporating the number of positive lymph nodes to predict disease recurrence following radical prostatectomy
A significant number of patients with minimal lymph node disease at radical prostatectomy (RP) and pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) have better than expected long-term outcomes. We explored whether stratifi...

Open AccessIdentification of quantitative genetic components of fitness variation in farmed, hybrid and native salmon in the wild
Feral animals represent an important problem in many ecosystems due to interbreeding with wild conspecifics. Hybrid offspring from wild and domestic parents are often less adapted to local environment and ulti...

Determination of prior treatment of fish and fish products using microwave dielectric spectra
Microwave dielectric spectra of fish products [processed prawns (Pandalus borealis), cod (Gadus morhua), haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) and saithe (Pollachus virens)] were transformed using the statistical m...

Composition of foods using microwave dielectric spectra
As part of a European Union project (FAIR CT97 3020) microwave dielectric spectra of processed prawns (Pandalus borealis), cod (Gadus morhua), pork and chicken were measured and the data transformed using the st...

Measurement and standardisation of food colour
Techniques for the measurement of colour are required widely by the food industry. Where such measurements are used only locally then few problems arise from non standard measurement methods or calibrations. I...

Tracheo-oesophageal fistula: the ‘H’ fistula
Tracheo-oesophageal fistula without atresia (Figure 13.1) presents a different clinical spectrum from the congenital oesophageal anomalies already described because the oesophagus is intact and patent. By comm...

Oesophageal atresia without fistula — anastomosis or replacement?
At the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, 553 babies with oesophageal atresia and/or tracheo-eesophageal fistula have been admitted during the past 39 years; 36 (6.5%) of these had oesophageal atresia witho...
