Salmon lice - impact on wild salmonids and salmon aquaculture
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-01-13)Salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, are naturally occurring parasites of salmon in sea water. Intensive salmon farming provides better conditions for parasite growth and transmission compared with natural conditions, ... -
salmonella in breeding pigs: shedding pattern, transmission of infection and the role of environmental contamination in irish commercial farrow-to-finish herds
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-11-27)This study aimed to provide new insights into the epidemiology of Salmonella in pig production, focusing on potential shedding patterns in breeding pigs throughout a full production cycle and the risk of transmission of ... -
Salt intake and cardiovascular disease: why are the data inconsistent?
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012-12-17)Effective population-based interventions are required to reduce the global burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Reducing salt intake has emerged as a leading target, with many guidelines recommending sodium intakes of ... -
Salvia officinalis for hot flushes: towards determination of mechanism of activity and active principles
(Thieme Publishing Group, 2013-05-13)Herbal medicinal products are commonly used in alternative treatment of menopausal hot flushes. In a recent clinical study, Salvia officinalis tincture was found to reduce hot flush frequency and intensity. The aim of the ... -
Sar150640, a selective β3-adrenoceptor agonist, prevents human myometrial remodelling and activation of matrix metalloproteinase in an in vitro model of chorioamnionitis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-02-05)Background and purpose: The uterine pathophysiology underlying inflammatory conditions such as chorioamnionitis remains largely unclear. As we have shown that beta(3)-adrenoceptors act as regulators of myometrial inflammation, ... -

Satellite and in situ salinity: understanding near-surface stratification and subfootprint variability
(American Meteorological Society, 2016-08-01)Remote sensing of salinity using satellite-mounted microwave radiometers provides new perspectives for studying ocean dynamics and the global hydrological cycle. Calibration and validation of these measurements is challenging ... -
Saturating light and not increased carbon dioxide under ocean acidification drives photosynthesis and growth inulva rigida(chlorophyta)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-01-25)Carbon physiology of a genetically identified Ulva rigida was investigated under different CO2(aq) and light levels. The study was designed to answer whether (1) light or exogenous inorganic carbon (Ci) pool is driving ... -
Save your blushes and stop routine thrombus aspiration during primary pci
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-05-30)This editorial refers to 'Myocardial blush and microvascular reperfusion following manual thrombectomy during percutaneous coronary interventions for ST elevation myocardial infarction: insights from the TOTAL trial'(dagger), ... -
Scaffold of selenium nanovectors and honey phytochemicals for inhibition of pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing and biofilm formation
(Frontiers Media SA, 2017-03-23)Honey is an excellent source of polyphenolic compounds that are effective in attenuating quorum sensing (QS), a chemical process of cell-to-cell communication system used by the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa ... -

Scalable authoritative owl reasoning for the web
(IGI Global, 2009-01-01)In this article the authors discuss the challenges of performing reasoning on large scale RDF datasets from the Web. Using ter-Horst's pD* fragment of OWL as a base, the authors compose a rule-based framework for application ... -

Scalar evolution equations for shear waves in incompressible solids: a simple derivation of the z, zk, kzk and kp equations
(The Royal Society, 2010-12-08)We study the propagation of two-dimensional finite-amplitude shear waves in a nonlinear pre-strained incompressible solid, and derive several asymptotic amplitude equations in a simple, consistent and rigorous manner. The ... -
Scaled up low-mass star formation in massive star-forming cores in the g333 giant molecular cloud
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-03-07)Three bright molecular line sources in G333 have recently been shown to exhibit signatures of infall. We describe amolecular line radiative transfer (RT) modelling process which is required to extract the infall signature ... -
Scar wars: preferences in breast surgery
(Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, 2015-01-01)Background The uptake of breast reconstruction is ever increasing with procedures ranging from implant-based reconstructions to complex free tissue transfer. Little emphasis is placed on scarring when counseling patients ... -
Scatter radiation intensities around full-field digital mammography units
(British Institute of Radiology, 2013-01-01)The aim of this study was to investigate the scatter radiation intensity around digital mammography systems and apply these data to standard shielding calculations to reveal whether shielding design of existing breast ... -
Scavenging on trawled seabeds can modify trophic size structure of bottom-dwelling fish
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013-09-04)Disturbance by towed bottom-fishing gears often kills larger sensitive benthos, leading to changes in the abundance, size, and species composition of benthic communities. Short-term availability of trawl-damaged prey, and ... -
