The thickness of avian blood-gas barrier: qualitative and quantitative observations.
(1982)
Gas exchange in the avian lung takes place across a blood-gas barrier formed, as
in other air-breathing vertebrates, by three essential components, an epithelial cell,
a basal lamina, and an endothelial cell. The thickness ...
Morphometrics of the avian lung. 2. The wild mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and graylag goose (Anser anser).
(1982)
The lungs of 5 wild mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) and 5 feral graylag geese (Anser anser) of mean body weight 1.04 and 3.84 kg, respectively, were fixed in situ by intratracheal infusion of 2.3% glutaraldehyde, pH 7.4 ...
A scanning electron microscopic study of the air and blood capillaries of the lung of the domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus)
(Birkhäuser-Verlag, 1982)
Air and blood capillaries of the lung of the domestic fowl constitute the functional gas exchange units. They anastomose profusely and interlace with each other in 3 dimensions. Air capillaries are not blind-ending tubules ...
A morphometric analysis of the lung of a species of bat.
(1982)
The lungs of five adult Epauleted Fruit-bats (Epomophorus wahlbergi) of mean body weight 96 g were analysed morphometrically. The lung volume per unit body weight was 0.043 cm3/g, the surface area of the tissue barrier ...
Haematological and biomedical changes in cattle poisoned by Gnidia latifolia syn. lasiosiphon latifolius (thymelaeaceae)
(1982)
Haematological and serum biochemical examinations were carried out on 12 high grade bull caves fed Gnidia latifolia (Meisn). This resulted in lymphocytopaenia, increased blood urea nitrogen and lactate dehydrogenase. There ...
Identification of the species origin of fresh meat using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedure
(University of Nairobi, 1982)
A modification of indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been successfully applied to the detection of horse meat and beef. This technically simple assay requiring species specific antibody, conjugated ...
Effects of infestation and transmission of the common bean mosaic virus (CBMV) by the black bean aphid A. fabae on the common bean P. vulgaris.
(University of Nairobi, 1982)
Damage caused to vegetative growth and yield of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) by Aphis fabae combined with bean common mosaic virus was generally significant when aphid infestation occurred during the early and late vegetative ...
Effect of nitrogen fertilizer on yield of beans inoculated with Rhizobium phiseoli
(1982)
There have been reports of legumes responding to application of nitrogen fertilizers and there are suggestions that even where legume seeds are inoculated with effective strains of Rhizobium phaseoli, a nitrogen starter ...
Tannin and fiber contents of rapeseed and canola hulls
(1982)
Hulls from rapeseed and canola seed were analyzed for tannins, and the ability
of these tannins to inhibit a-amylase in vitro was determined. Extractable tannin
content ranged from 0.02 to O.22Vc. The a-amylase inhibition ...
