Development and Remodeling of the Vertebrate Blood-Gas Barrier
(BioMed Research International, 2013)
During vertebrate development, the lung inaugurates as an endodermal bud from the primitive foregut. Dichotomous subdivision of the bud results in arborizing airways that form the prospective gas exchanging chambers, where ...
Anchored vs. relative best–worst scaling and latent class vs. hierarchical Bayesian analysis of best–worst choice data: Investigating the importance of food quality attributes in a developing country
(2012)
Applying best–worst (BW) scaling to a multifaceted feature, e.g. food quality, is challenging as attribute non-attendance or lack of attribute discrimination risks invalidating the transformation of choice data to ...
Canine prostaglandin E2 synthase (PGES) and its receptors (EP2 and EP4): Expression in the corpus luteum during dioestrus
(2008)
In the dog CL are the only source of the progesterone in cyclic and pregnant animals. From a high expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox2) at the beginning of the dioestrus and a low one at the end it was suggested that ...
Interlinkages in the tunica media of goat Aorta
(2010)
The arrangement and interconnections between various components of the aortic wall influence its
physicomechanical properties and functional alterations that occur in disease and ageing. The goat is a suitable model for ...

Multiple disease resistance in snap bean genotypes in Kenya
(2011)
Snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important export vegetable crop, produced mainly by small to medium scale farmers under various disease constraints. Disease resistant varieties can reduce reliance on fungicides, ...
The Potential use of Plant Anthelmintics for the Control of Livestock Helminthoses in Kenya
(2004)
Helminthoses are a major constraint to livestock
production in Kenya. The control of these
infections by the use of synthetic anthelmintics is
constrained by a number of problems that
include; lack of foreign exchange ...
Incorporation of green manure plants into bean cropping systems contribute to root-knot nematode suppression
(2008)
Green manure plants were evaluated to determine their suitability as rotation crops with common bean to suppress root-knot (Meloidogyne spp.) nematodes. They were also evaluated as soil amendments in nematode control. The ...
