description: This paper describes two aspects of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) which have been refined for use in small animals, as demonstrated by a study on Mongolian gerbils: intravenous injection of radiotracers in the femoral vein and body heat conservation in animals anaesthetized at the time of scanning. Elaborating on recommendations made by other authors, we have combined chemical and physical restraint to optimize injection efficiency as well as to reduce handling time of the animals. Finally, we provide a detailed description of a SPECT-compatible waterheated scanning bed, the application of which we believe is not limited to scintigraphic studies.

description: For ion channel gating, the appearance of two distinct conformational states and the discrete transitions between them is essential, and therefore of crucial importance to all living organisms. We show that the physical interplay between two structural elements that are commonly present in bacterial mechanosensitive channels, namely a charged vestibule and a hydrophobic constriction, creates two distinct conformational states, open and closed, as well as the gating between them. We solve the nonequilibrium Stokes-Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations, extended to include a molecular potential of mean force, and show that a first order transition between the closed and open states arises naturally from the diffusio-osmotic stress caused by the ions and water inside the channel and the elastic restoring force from the membrane. Our proposed gating mechanism is likely to be important for a broad range of ion channels, as well as for biomimetic channels and ion channel-targeting therapeutics.

description: The murine asthmatic Balb/c mouse model was used to investigate the effect of W. somnifera L., the antioxidant selenium, W. somnifera and selenium in combination and hydrocortisone as positive control on the number of white blood cells in blood smears and bronchial lavage smears as well as the platelet distribution of asthmatic Balb/c mice. The mice were sensitised, nebulized and treated over a period of 43 days and blood smears were made of each individual animal and bronchial lavage was performed by injecting 0.3ml of saline into the trachea of the mice, both on the day of termination. Light microscopy analysis of the bronchial lavage revealed a significant decrease in the number of eosinophils counted in the asthmatic and the different treatment groups. In the asthmatic group, numerous platelet clumps were found distributed between white blood cells. Platelets were also found in the other treatment groups but are not as prevalent as in the asthmatic group. Results from the blood smears showed the same trends, where cell counts in control and hydrocortisone blood smears were decreased compared to that of the asthma group. It is concluded that W. somnifera and W. somnifera combined with selenium significantly decreased the white blood cells in both bronchial lavage as well as blood smears, suggesting that W. somnifera indeed has an anti-inflammatory potential and it, in combination with an anti-oxidant like selenium, might successfully be used in the treatment of asthma.

description: We propose a simple method to approximately evaluate reduced width amplitude (RWA) of a two-body spinless cluster channel using the norm overlap with the Brink-Bloch cluster wave function at the channel radius. The applicability of the present approximation is tested for the $^{16}$O+$α$ channel in $^{20}$Ne as well as the $α$+$α$ channel in $^8$Be. The approximation is found to be reasonable to evaluate the RWA for states near the threshold energy and it is useful to estimate the $α$-decay width of resonance states. The approximation is also applied to $^9$Li, and the partial decay width of the $^6$He($0^+_1$)+$t$ channel is discussed.

description: We propose a new finite-size correction scheme for the formation energy of charged defects and impurities in one-dimensional systems within density functional theory. The energy correction in a supercell geometry is obtained by solving the Poisson equation in a continuum model which is described by an anistrotropic permittivity tensor, with the defect charge distribution derived from first-principles calculations. We implement our scheme to study impurities and dangling bonds in silicon nanowires and demonstrate that the formation energy of charged defects rapidly converges with the supercell size.

Evaluation of Corncob as Bedding for Rodents
Creators: name: Krohn, Thomas C
name: Hansen, Axel Kornerup
Publisher: name: Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Sciences
Year: 2014

description: As an alternative to aspen bedding, corncob may be used for rodents. Previous studies have shown that the ammonia level in cages using corncob bedding is reduced compared to cages with aspen bedding. The reduced level of ammonia prolongs the interval between cage changing, and it may therefore be beneficial for the facility to use corncob. The aim of the present study was to measure and evaluate the animal preferences for corncob compared to aspen bedding and also analyse the properties of corncob compared to aspen bedding. When analysing the bedding’s ability to absorb water, corncob showed lower water absorption compared to aspen bedding; the more corncob in the mixture, the less water is absorbed. Both mice and rats rejected cages with pure corncob during the day (sleeping time), and none of the animals preferred corncob mixed with aspen, only equally accepted it. In conclusion, neither rats nor mice prefer corncob, even not in mixtures with aspen bedding and enrichment. In the light of the common standard for bedding being wood chips, and the lack of preference for corncob mixture, corncob seems to be a poor alternative to wood based bedding.

description: Various parameters describing the dynamics of G-band bright points (GBPs) were derived from G-band images, acquired by the Dutch Open Telescope (DOT), of a quiet region close to the disk center. Our study is based on four commonly used diagnostics (effective velocity, change in the effective velocity, change in the direction angle, and centrifugal acceleration) and two new ones (rate of motion and time lag between recurrence of GBPs). The results concerning the commonly used parameters are in agreement with previous studies for a comparable spatial and temporal resolution of the used data.To broaden our understanding of the dynamics of GBPs, two new parameters were defined: the real displacement between their appearance and disappearance (rate of motion) and the frequency of their recurrence at the same locations (time lag). Results for both new parameters indicate that the locations of different dynamical types of GBPs (stable/farther traveling or with short/long lifetimes) are bound to the locations of more stable and long-living magnetic field concentrations. Thus, the disappearance/reappearance of the tracked GBPs cannot be perceived as the disappearance/reappearance of their corresponding magnetic field concentrations.
THE EFFECT OF ADVERTISING ON BRAND PREFRENCE: THE CASE OF ANCHOR MILK

Year: 2017

description: Measuring the impact of advertisement in consumers brand preference is very essential for every marketer. If Advertisement does not create any positive change in consumers’ brand preference; all resources such as money, time, and effort spent on advertisement will go in vain. The study aims to explore the impact of advertisement on consumers brand preference in the case of Anchor milk. It followed a deductive form of research approach and the research design was explanatory. Questionnaires were used to collect primary data by using a self-administered data collection system from 384 respondents, out of which 361 valid questionnaires were collected and analyzed. These respondents were selected by using a non probability sampling technique, which is Judgment Sampling method.

description: Functional molecular imaging is becoming increasingly popular for in vivo research on small animals, because it has a number of scientific advantages over ex vivo methods. The molecular parameters themselves can be used in other areas of investigation also, such as monitoring of the dopaminergic and serotonergic involvement in the development of stereotypic behaviour. In Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), a radioactive substance with specific affinity for a certain molecular target is injected intravenously and after a period of time the radioactivity that is not washed out from the region of interest, is measured. A relative measure of quantification, i.e., the binding index (BI), can then be calculated. This paper aims to introduce a broad readership to one possible application of SPECT by presenting preliminary data about the dopamine transporter (DAT) status in the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus). 99mTechnetium-labelled Ethylcysteinate Dimer tracer (24.42 ± 5.92 MBq) was injected in the femoral vein of four gerbils to provide brain perfusion images that allow anatomical identification of DAT-rich regions that were imaged in another four gerbils using 123I-labelled FP-CIT tracer (44.33 ± 11.66 MBq). Furthermore, the optimal scan time for FP-CIT was established in one gerbil. The study was successful in obtaining brain perfusion images as well as demonstrating regional binding of FP-CIT to the basal ganglia, DAT-rich areas in the brain. The optimal scan time for DAT-imaging was 4 ½ hours. Our preliminary data suggest the Mongolian gerbil is a suitable model for combining SPECT and behavioural observations in the investigation of stereotypic behaviour.

Welfare of Large Animals In Scientific Research
Creators: name: Arney, D R
Publisher: name: Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Sciences
Year: 2014

description: For the purpose of this paper, large animal species are taken to be those animals that are commonly used as farm livestock animals namely: cows, pigs, goats, sheep, horses, camelids and deer. The numbers of procedures in the UK in 2006 involving such animals amounted to around 56,000 out of a total of around 3 million. It may be that human perception of these animals as livestock animals impairs our consideration of their needs, compared to say those of common pet animals, dogs or cats. As the perception of their environment, and the potential to suffer, of livestock animals is likely to be similar however, we should not neglect their needs. The use of large animals in scientific procedures has advantages in some respects – the animals are in the main domesticated, and are therefore comparatively docile and have been bred to cope with captivity. Nevertheless they can display aggressive behaviour and are capable of causing significant injury, so an understanding of their behaviour can reduce risks to staff caring for and working with these animals. This presentation considers the behaviour of these animals, their needs, signs of discomfort and pain, and means to ameliorate both their welfare and the safety of staff engaged in their use.

description: Spectral type recognition is an important and fundamental step of large sky survey projects in the data reduction for further scientific research, like parameter measurement and statistic work. It tends out to be a huge job to manually inspect the low quality spectra produced from massive spectroscopic survey, where the automatic pipeline may not provide confident type classification results. In order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of spectral classification, we develop a semi-automated toolkit named ASERA, A Spectrum Eye Recognition Assistant. The main purpose of ASERA is to help the user in quasar spectral recognition and redshift measurement. Furthermore it can also be used to recognize various types of spectra of stars, galaxies and AGNs (Active Galactic Nucleus). It is an interactive software allowing the user to visualize observed spectra, superimpose template spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and interactively access related spectral line information. It is an efficient and user-friendly toolkit for accurate classification of spectra observed by LAMOST (the Large Sky Area Multi-object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope). The toolkit is available in two modes: a Java standalone application and a Java applet. ASERA has a few functions, such as wavelength and flux scale setting, zoom in and out, redshift estimation, spectral line identification, which helps user to improve the spectral classification accuracy especially for low quality spectra and reduce the labor of eyeball check. The function and performance of this tool is displayed through the recognition of several quasar spectra and a late type stellar spectrum from the LAMOST Pilot survey. Its future expansion capabilities are discussed.

description: The EWKR food web theme identified that the relationship between flow variability and the provision of resources for consumers at critical life stages was a key knowledge gap in the management of environmental flows. The first phase of the EWKR food web theme (the conceptualisation phase) reviewed existing conceptual models and empirical research to assess our current knowledge status and the knowledge gaps surrounding the influence of flow on lowland river food webs. This work generated three scientific manuscripts that identified a framework for monitoring the effects of hydrological regimes on food webs, evaluated a range of analytical methods suitable for their assessment and highlighted that consideration of food web-hydrology interactions will improve environmental flow planning.
Empirical research carried out within the EWKR food web theme set out to address knowledge gaps identified within the conceptualisation phase. This work was undertaken at three scales: 1) mesocosm (an outdoor experimental system that examines the natural environment under controlled conditions) 2) river and 3) basin. Mesocosm experiments showed that green algae are a key basal resource for consumers, providing a high-quality food source. Essential fatty acids were traced from green algae through Food Webs from invertebrates to fish. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) based Food Webs by contrast, provided the lowest invertebrate density, richness and lowest fish growth and survival.

description: In laboratory breeding procedures, mice are usually housed in single-sex unfamiliar groups since weaning, while individual housing is widely employed in many experimental settings. While there is a considerable amount of evidence on the behavioural and physiological effects of various social contexts in male mice and rats, few data are available on female mice. We examined short-term modulation of social context in the housing environment on exploratory and emotional behaviours in response to novelty (i.e., free-exploratory open field) and on physiology (i.e. organs and body weight, and basal corticosterone level) of female CD1 mice, taking into account the estrous phase as an additional variable. Living alone or grouped with siblings or with unfamiliar females for a short period (7 days) did not affect any physiological indexes of stress in female house mice and had marginal effects on emotional behaviour. When challenged with a free choice between a novel environment and their home cage, female mice housed with siblings did not differ on any behavioural parameter from females housed with same-aged unfamiliar mice, while individually housed females showed higher propensity to enter the novel arena but no differences in activity or in anxiety as compared to grouped mice. Information about sex specifics under standard housing conditions as well as in response to common laboratory procedures could be important for the understanding of sex differences in vulnerability to psychiatric disorders and response to drug treatment.

Non-Human Primate Models in Neuroscience Research
Creators: name: Perretta, G
Publisher: name: Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Sciences
Year: 2014

description: Neuroscience is progressively increasing its comprehension of the normal functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system. Such understanding is essential to challenge important neurodegenerative disorders and clinical conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, etc. The aim of neuroscience research is to improve understanding of normal and pathological functions and to develop therapeutic strategies and tools. Fundamental neuroscience utilizes a variety of techniques which include: electrophysiology, imaging, and computational modelling and entails interactions with clinical studies. Non-human primates are the closest species to humans in terms of biological, physiological, immunological and neurological characteristics; their closeness has been, and is still, an important reason for using them in biomedical studies. These animals have a vertebrate brain that is most like that of humans in terms of neural circuitry and this, together with similarities with human physiological and behavioural characteristics, makes them more valuable and accurate models of neurological and psychiatric diseases than other animals. This article provides an overview of the contribution of non-human primate models in fundamental neuroscience research and in generating clinically relevant findings and therapeutic developments.

description: We have detected periodic flares of the 6.7 GHz methanol maser from an intermediate-mass star-forming region IRAS22198+6336. The maser was monitored daily in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Six flares were observed with a period of 34.6 days. The variation pattern is intermittent, and the flux ratio of the flaring and the quiescent states exceeds 30. Such intermittent variation with the short period uniquely characterizes the variation of the IRAS22198+6336 maser. At least five spectral components were identified. The spectral components varied almost synchronously, but their peak times differed by 1.8 days. These characteristics can be explained by the colliding-wind binary model.

I just want to start by saying that the melancholy nature of this trip and its experiences were made ten times harder for me because I was the only Jewish student in my class. That is not to say that this was not a hard trip for everyone, but I experienced it in a very different way. My classmates were all very kind and supportive of me, but I had no one with the same religious and spiritual connection to bond with. Perspective is always something to consider throughout history and throughout all disciplines. Besides having to go through this difficult process, essentially on my own, I also had a different level of understanding because of my Jewish background and faith.
Sheep Behaviour, Needs, Housing and Care
Creators: name: Arney, D R
Publisher: name: Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Sciences
Year: 2014

description: Sheep (Ovis aries) are an attractive animal for scientific procedures; for medical, veterinary and fundamental biological research. They are docile, rarely show aggression, have a (relatively) short flight distance and are gregarious. In the UK, of 3 million animal scientific procedures in 2006, over 36,000 involved sheep. Small as a proportion perhaps, but exceeded only by the number involving rats and mice, among mammals, and chickens and fish (all species). And the numbers of sheep used in experimental procedures are increasing (up 24% on the previous year). They live longer than mice and rats (up to 15 years potentially) so can be used for longer term studies. They are smaller and more manageable than cows, yet have an analagous digestive system. They are commonly used for testing for veterinary vaccines. They have a similar neural axial structure to humans, so have been used for analagous studies, such as drug testing for treatment of Huntington’s disease. They have traditionally been used in foetal physiological experiments, and in altering their genetic component to produce compounds that may be harvested in their milk, such as insulin or clotting agents for haemohpilia. Their use in fundamental genetic research has been well publicised. Other advantages are that they are highly domesticated, and we have a substantial knowledge bank of work on their behaviour. Nevertheless there remain specific welfare issues relating to the use of the sheep as an experimental animal. This presentation considers the particular behaviour of the domestic sheep and relates this to their housing, welfare, handling, and general care.

description: Electron supercollimation, in which a wavepacket is guided to move undistorted along a selected direction, is a highly desirable property that has yet been realized experimentally. Disorder in general is expected to inhibit supercollimation. Here, we report a counter-intuitive phenomenon of electron supercollimation by disorder in graphene and related Dirac fermion materials. We show that one can use one-dimensional disorder potentials to control electron wavepacket transport. This is distinct from known systems where an electron wavepacket would be further spread by disorder and hindered in the potential fluctuating direction. The predicted phenomenon has significant implications in the understanding and applications of electron transport in Dirac fermion materials.
Imaging Techniques in Large Animals

description: Imaging techniques in large animals bridges the gap between preclinical and clinical research. The same scanners can be used for large laboratory animals and for human beings and, with few modifications, the same scanning protocols can also be used. Therefore, knowledge obtained from imaging techniques in animal research can readily be used in humans. Similarly, medical hypotheses and problems from clinical experience with humans can often be tested and studied in large animals. Imaging techniques create either anatomical images (Computerized Tomography, CT or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, MRI) or functional images of the body (Positron Emission Tomography, PET). While X-ray radiation is used to get a cross-sectional CT image of the body, MRI involves the use of a magnetic field that forces the hydrogen cellular nuclei to align in different positions. PET utilizes radiation emitted from the animal after injection of radioactive tracers. The most commonly used large animals in imaging research are dogs, sheep, goats, pigs and nonhuman primates. These laboratory animals have large organs and blood volumes that allow repeated blood sampling, which is needed in most PET studies, while blood sampling is unnecessary for CT and MRI imaging. Large animals are outbreed, and so many animals are typically needed in each study, due to marked individual variation. That situation is unfavourable, because imaging studies of large animals are expensive and time consuming. Except for nonhuman primates, large animals must be anaesthetised for scanning procedures, and this may influence the experiments.

Library and information studies not elsewhere classified
Open access

description: There are two general strategies for achieving Open Access (OA) to scholarly communication, the gold road and the green road. The largest and authoritative gold road OA database is the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) indexing all the standard OA journals meeting the DOAJ criteria of inclusion. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the contribution of Indian publications to the global OA movement. The analysis of the present study was done based on a total dataset of 289 research publications of Indian OA journal as imported from the DOAJ database. The findings of the study reveal that Indian OA journals account for only 2% of the total coverage of DOAJ. Among them, journals in the field of Medicine alone account for 79% and approximately 73% of journals are published in both print & electronic medium with PDF as the preferred file format, DOI as preferred permanent article identifier and English as the preferred language of publication. Almost 89% of Indian OA journals provide full-text crawl permission, while 75% of them provide download statistics. All the Indian journals covered under DOAJ are peer-reviewed and out of them, most of the journals (76%) are double-blind peer-reviewed. Indian OA publications with CC BY-NC-SA license cover the highest percentage (75%) and 206 journals (71%) do not charge APC. In majority of Indian OA journals (89%), the author doesn’t hold either the copyright or publishing rights without restrictions from the journal publishers. It is important to note that only two journals (~1%) satisfied the requirements of DOAJ Seal.

Spiraling elliptic breathers in saturable nonlinear media with linear anisotropy

description: We have introduced a class of spiraling elliptic breathers in saturable nonlinear media with linear anisotropy. Two kinds of evolution behaviors of the breathers, rotating and pendulum-like librating, are both predicted by the variational approach, and confirmed by the numerical simulation.The spiraling elliptic breathers can rotate even though they have no initial orbital angular momentum (OAM). Due to the linear anisotropy of the media, the OAM is no longer conserved. Therefore, the angular velocity is found to be not a constant but a periodic function of the propagation distance. When the linear anisotropy is large enough, the spiraling elliptic breathers can librate like the pendulum. The spiraling elliptic breathers exist in the media with not only the saturable nonlinearity but also the nonlocal nonlinearity, as a matter of fact, they are universal in the nonlinear media with the linear anisotropy.

Considerations in the Construction of a New Preclinical Facility
Creators: name: Glerup, Peter
Publisher: name: Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Sciences
Year: 2014

description: Many aspects need to be considered in details before construction of a new preclinical facility. These aspects include requirements in relation to international guidelines for preclinical studies, Good Laboratory Practice, barriers, animal welfare legislation, occupational health and customer expectations. This article describes some of the most important elements that should be considered in this respect, seen in the light of drug development. It should be remembered that detailed individual plans are always required for each specific facility for the following reasons. Legislative discrepancies between countries may influence the final design of a facility from one country to another. In addition, different types of work may be undertaken by each individual laboratory, leading to various needs for each site. Furthermore, as working routines to some extent are usually site-specific, this may also influence the optimal construction between laboratories. This article should therefore be seen as a guide to thoughts that should be made before construction of a new facility. It is not the intention that it should be used as a detailed check-list.

description: CFRPs are extensively used in the aerospace industry owed to their extraordinary properties such as high strength to weight ratio, great thermal stability, and high resistance over impacts. Eddy Current Pulsed Thermography has beenrecently proposed for composite evaluation ECPT can be exploited CFRP aerospace components Applications range from diagnosis of delaminations impact damage and to material characterization. This work used thermal diffusion in fibre directions indicator to perform the reconstruction of CFRP layer information. The multilayer anisotropic CFRP is modelled by FEM method to simulate induction heating quasi-isotropic CFRP. The experiment of benchmark sample with layers of
 different orientations is conducted by ECPT system. The iterative approximation between simulation and experiment data is used to reconstruct the anisotropic thermal distribution in time and spatial domain.

Anxiety in Relation to Animal Environment and Welfare

Publisher: name: Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Sciences
Year: 2014

description: Negative emotions do not compromise welfare, as long as they do not exceed the individual’s adaptive capabilities. Anxiety, though a negative emotion, is highly conserved during evolution, and essential for enabling an individual to both escape from dangerous situations and to avoid them in the future, i.e. to adapt to environmental challenges. However, the interactions between anxiety and environment are highly dynamic and can result in non-adaptive anxiety responses. Non-adaptive anxiety responses not only compromise the animal’s welfare, but may be substantially detrimental to experimental results even in non-behavioural studies by dramatically reducing the reliability of the study results obtained. Detailed knowledge about the emotional phenotype of experimental animals used is necessary to reach a balance between reliability of experimental research and the welfare of laboratory animals.
