Atlas of Dental Radiography in Dogs and Cats
Is it ever appropriate to diagnose and treat oral and dental problems without knowing the full extent of the problem With more than 50% of anatomical structures and associated pathologies located below the gingivae and unseen to the eye, thats the reality without the use of high-quality, accurately interpreted radiographs. Atlas of Dental Radiography in Dogs and Cats presents hundreds of actual radiographic images, which are clearly labeled to facilitate accurate identification of normal and abnormal features. This valuable new atlas shows you exactly how to correlate common dental conditions with radiographic signs. Radiographs are also compared side by side with actual anatomical photographs to confirm surface landmarks visible on the radiographs. Correct positioning techniques for producing diagnostic radiographs as well as helpful tips and pitfalls when obtaining quality radiographs are logically presented. This approach helps you produce consistently high-quality radiographs, sharpen your interpretive skills, and confidently treat a wide range of dental problems.

By using nearly 700 images of various organ systems, ATLAS OF EQUINE ENDOSCOPY is designed to provide equine practitioners with a practical reference guide to minimally invasive equine endoscopy. Since endoscopy is now widely used by equine practitioners, this atlas focuses less on principles and more on its use as a diagnostic tool.
Atlas of Normal Radiographic Anatomy and Anatomic Variants in the Dog and Cat
Equip yourself to make accurate diagnoses and achieve successful treatment outcomes with this highly visual comprehensive atlas. Featuring a substantial number of new high contrast images, Atlas of Normal Radiographic Anatomy and Anatomic Variants in the Dog and Cat, 2nd Edition provides an in-depth look at both normal and non-standard subjects along with demonstrations of proper technique and image interpretations. Expert authors Donald E. Thrall and Ian D. Robertson describe a wider range of "normal" as compared to competing books not only showing standard dogs and cats, but also non-standard subjects such as overweight and underweight pets and animals with breed-specific variations. Every body part is put into context with a textual description to help explain why a structure appears as it does in radiographs, and enabling practitioners to appreciate variations of normal that are not included, based on an understanding of basic radiographic principles.
Atlas of Veterinary Hematology
This colour atlas is designed as a reference for the morphologic aspects of veterinary hematology of common domestic animals. It covers a variety of species, including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and llamas. The atlas is divided into two sections: the first covers blood, while the second discusses bone marrow. Techniques for the collection and preparation of blood and bone marrow spears and bone marrow core biopsies are covered, in addition to the morphology of the tissues collected. Often, multiple examples of a cell type or abnormal condition are shown to illustrate the variance in morphology.
Atlas of Zebrafish Development
"Zebrafish are widely considered an excellent model system for vertebrate development. The embryo is transparent, thereby enabling visualization and use of labelling and transgenic approaches. Moreover, because of the ease of inducing new mutations in zebrafish and similarity with the human genome, this organism may be used effectively for disease studies. For example, mutant zebrafish are being utilized for testing drugs that will combat a range of human diseases, from Alzheimer's and cancer to kidney failure and congenital heart disease. For the first time, this atlas provides the research community with a complete reference for zebrafish anatomy spanning the early embryo all the way to adulthood. The authors employ the technique of optical projection tomography (OPT), and offer a series of sections in multiple planes from each sample. The contents are organized by developmental stages, with over 200 images that contain annotations describing anatomical structures relevant to development. In addition, chapters feature explanatory text that highlights major developments in the zebrafish during each stage. Key Features. Provides the first comprehensive anatomical resource that covers all regions of zebrafish anatomy from the larval period to adulthood. The over 200 images include explanatory notes. Each chapter contains a concise description of key anatomical features that factor in zebrafish development. Despite many years of use as a model system, until now there has never been a guide to zebrafish at the larval stage. The book's website contains a database of over 10k sections from different regions as well as 3D images that are interactive"

AZADI Ka Amrut Mahotsav Commemoration of 75th year of India?s Independence Programmes & Activities
The post-Independence journey of Indian Agriculture has been quite
impressive despite several limiting factors such as uncertainties of weather,
declining soil health, increasing atmospheric temperature and emergence
of more virulent pests and pathogens. The production of food grains, fruits,
vegetables, milk, meat, egg and fish has increased significantly. Systematic
and strategic research has led to development of new technologies to address
specific needs of the farmers. These are being disseminated through the
network institutions in the National Agricultural Research Education and
Extension System (NAREES), regular interaction with state governments
and other stakeholders, and increased use of digital platforms for
communication. Still there exist gaps in transfer of technology/ information
from lab to land. There is a need to strengthen our communication amongst
all stakeholders. The 75th Year of Nation's independence is being celebrated
as Azadi Ka Amrut Mahotsav. The DARE/ICAR has planned various activities
to be undertaken for 75 weeks preceding 15th August 2022. These include
awareness campaigns and lectures by eminent persons on the thematic
areas for reaching out to maximum stakeholders particularly farmers on
various new developments in different sectors of agriculture. This journey
of 75 weeks shall culminate with congregation of farmers who have been
successful in doubling their income, students and academicians with
release of the compendium on farmer's success stories. It is also proposed
to bring out a book on "Indian Agriculture: A Saga of Success-Role of ICAR
through Different Revolutions" and get it released during the occasion.
The proposed activities and campaigns during the 75 weeks of "Azadi ka
Amrut Mahotsav" have been compiled to provide a glimpse of our efforts.
I hope it would be interesting and informative to all the stakeholders.
The feedbacks and suggestions to strengthen our activities in future are
welcome.
Bacillus Molecular Genetics and Biotechnology Applications
Bacillus Molecular Genetics and Biotechnology Applications contains the proceedings of the Third International Conference on the Genetics and Biotechnology of Bacilli, held at Stanford University in Stanford, California on July 15-17, 1985. Contributors discuss the progress that has been made concerning the molecular genetics and biotechnology of Bacillus and cover topics related to transposons and plasmids, secretion, gene cloning, and gene expression. This volume is organized into five sections encompassing 39 chapters and begins with an overview of the origin and the state of molecular genetics, along with some of the contributions microbiology has made to fundamental biology. It then emphasizes the importance of scientifically based regulatory decisions and responsible industry actions for effective biotechnology regulation. The chapters that follow focus on Bacillus subtilis, touching on topics such as DNA recombination in plasmids, genetic system for stabilizing cloned genes, regulation of sporulation, and non-complementing diploids. The reader is methodically introduced to the secretion and maturation of subtilisin, cloning in streptomycetes, and genetic exchange and prospects for cloning in Clostridia. The book concludes with a chapter that describes an integrative and amplifiable secretion vector using the inducible promoter and signal peptide from the B. subtilis levansucrase (LS) gene. This book will be of interest to geneticists, microbiologists, and biotechnologists, as well as students and researchers in the fields of molecular biology and biochemistry.
Background Lesions in Laboratory Animals
"Background Lesions in Laboratory Animals will be an invaluable aid to pathologists needing to recognize background and incidental lesions while examining slides taken from laboratory animals in acute and chronic toxicity studies, or while examining exotic species in a diagnostic laboratory. It gives clear descriptions and illustrations of the majority of background lesions likely to be encountered. Many of the lesions covered are unusual and can be mistaken for treatment-related findings in preclinical toxicity studies. The Atlas has been prepared with contributions from experienced toxicological pathologists who are specialists in each of the laboratory animal species covered and who have published extensively in these areas. Key Features. over 600 high-definition, top-quality color photographs of background lesions found in rats, mice, dogs, minipigs, non-human primates, hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits. a separate chapter on lesions in the reproductive systems of all laboratory animals written by Dr Dianne Creasy, a world expert on testicular lesions in laboratory animals. a chapter on common artifacts that may be observed in histological glass slides. extensive references to each lesion described. aging lesions encountered in all laboratory animal species, particularly in rats in mice which are used for carcinogenicity studies"
Bee Genetics and Breeding
Bee Genetics and Breeding provides an overview of the state of knowledge in bee genetics and breeding. The book is organized into two parts. Part I deals with the scholarly issues of bee genetics. It is intended as a reference source for students of both bees and genetics. It could also serve as a text for university courses in bee genetics. Topics discussed include the evolution of eusocial insects; geographical variability and classification of honey bees; and behavioral and biochemical genetics of honey bees. Part II deals more specifically with the practical issues of bee breeding. The discussions include the quantitative genetics of honey bees; ways to define and measure honey-bee characteristics so that the "best" parents for honey-bee stock improvement programs can be selected; and mating designs. This section contains sufficient guidance for bee breeders to initiate or improve breeding programs. Apiculturalists generally will find this part especially interesting since the quality of their own bee stock depends on the skills and knowledge of the breeders who produce their queens.
Behavioral Ecology of Tropical Birds
This book examines behavioral adaptations of tropical birds in timing of breeding, life history traits, mating systems and parental care, territoriality, communication, and biotic interactions, and emphasizes the many gaps in our knowledge of tropical birds. We urge students and researchers in temperate and tropical regions alike to realize the potential they have for improving our knowledge of avian adaptations far beyond what is currently accepted as gospel. Time is running out. Key Features * Line drawings with graphs* Unpublished data and observations from decades of authors' research in tropics
