Implications of the U.S. Farm Act on Canadian Agriculture
No full textThis paper addresses the implications of the U.S. Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 or "Farm Act" for Canadian agriculture. The Farm Act, which is expected to add at least US $45 billion in new price supports over its six-year timeframe, is expected to harm the position of less-subsidized and non-subsidized producers in Canada and other countries. Canadian farm products will be less competitive not only domestically, but also in the U.S. and in third-country markets. Canada will be most affected by subsidies for corn, soybeans, wheat, and pulse crops. New country-of-origin labeling rules under the Farm Act are also expected to be disruptive to Canadian livestock exports. In addressing these issues the paper also explores potential Canadian responses - including filing WTO or NAFTA complaints - as well as the broader implications for U.S.-Canada trade and international cooperation.U.S. Farm Bill, U.S.-Canada trade, Agricultural and Food Policy, International Relations/Trade,

Comparison of the effects of xylazine bolus versus medetomidine constant rate infusion on cardiopulmonary function and depth of anesthesia in horses anesthetized with isoflurane
No full textObjective—To compare the effects of xylazine bolus versus medetomidine constant rate infusion (MCRI) on cardiopulmonary function and depth of anesthesia in dorsally recumbent, spontaneously breathing, isoflurane-anesthetized horses.
Design—Prospective, randomized crossover study.
Animals—10 healthy adult Standardbreds.
Procedures—Horses were premedicated with xylazine or medetomidine IV. Anesthesia was induced with diazepam and ketamine and maintained with isoflurane for 150 minutes. For the xylazine treatment, end-tidal isoflurane concentration was maintained at 1.7%, and xylazine (0.2 mg/kg [0.09 mg/lb], IV) was administered as a bolus at the end of anesthesia. For the MCRI treatment, end-tidal isoflurane concentration was maintained at 1.4%, and medetomidine (0.005 mg/kg/h [0.0023 mg/lb/h], IV) was infused throughout anesthesia. Physiologic data (ie, heart rate, respiratory rate, rectal temperature, bispectral index, and electromyographic values) were compared between treatments with xylazine bolus versus MCRI.
Results—Heart rate was lower, but mean arterial blood pressure was higher from 20 to 40 minutes with MCRI treatment, compared with conventional treatment with xylazine. Respiratory rate and rectal temperature were greater with MCRI treatment. Bispectral index was lower with MCRI treatment from 80 to 150 minutes, and electromyographic values were lower with MCRI treatment from 30 to 150 minutes.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—In isoflurane-anesthetized horses, premedication with medetomidine followed by administration of medetomidine as a constant rate infusion resulted in decreased heart rate, higher arterial blood pressure from 20 through 40 minutes after induction of anesthesia, and better preserved body temperature, compared with conventional treatment with xylazine. Greater depth of anesthesia and muscle relaxation were seen with MCRI treatment, despite the lower isoflurane concentration.Catherine M. Creighton, Kip A. Lemke, Leigh A. Lamont, Barbara S.

Georgia and the National policy of the Soviet Union in the Leftist Discourse of Corliss Lamont
No full textკონფერენცია ეძღვნება მეიფლაუერის ხელშეკრულების დადების მე-400 წლისთავს/ The 2020 Annual conference of the American Studies is dedicated to the 400th Anniversary of the Signing of the Mayflower CompactThe author tries to answer the question why the fighter for human rights and defender of
Bill of rights professor Corliss Lamont became apologist of the USSR and the soviet national
policy? In author’s view Lamont saw in the national policy of the USSR the paradigmatic case of
solution of problems of racial and national inequalities, which were the acute problems for the
USA and the world which was divided into metropolis and colonies. Georgia was one of the
cases on which he observed the achievements of Soviet national policy. He is admired for it’s
nature and people, dances, sings and national character of Georgians. In his view Georgians had
ancient culture and adopted Christianity three centuries before the Anglo Saxon. He admires the
Svan towers which in his opinion resemble the architecture of Northern Italy, considers
Khevsurs as descendants of the crusaders. In Abkhazia he found self-governing village
inhabited by blacks. Lamont talks about the production of manganese in Chiatura. At one time
Averell Harriman, then American ambassador to Moscow headed a syndicate that operated
these manganese deposits on concession basis. Lamont repeated views of soviet leadership about
soviet national polity and didn’t speak of problems of this policy and the means soviet
government used to resolve them
