Bsava Manual of Canine and Feline Clinical Pathology
No full textThis new edition of a must-have manual, edited by Elizabeth Villiers, Jelena Ristic and Laura Blackwood, features new case studies and updated images. There is an increased focus on principles, testing and interpreting results as well as sampling, genetic testing and diagnosing genetic and inherited diseases. Fully revised and expanded, this manual contains not just advice for the busy practitioner, but also for the concerned owner and how they can play a part in the treatment of their pet
Chemical and sensory evaluation of magnetic polymers as a remedial treatment for elevated concentrations of 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine in Cabernet Sauvignon grape must and wine
No full text3-Isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine (IBMP) is a potent odorant present in grapes and wines that is reminiscent of green capsicum. Suprathreshold concentrations can lead to obvious vegetative characters and suppress desirable fruity aroma nuances in wines, but options to manage IBMP concentrations are limited. This work investigated pre- and postfermentation addition of a putative imprinted magnetic polymer (PIMP) as a remedial treatment for elevated concentrations of IBMP in Cabernet Sauvignon grape must in comparison to nonimprinted magnetic polymer (NIMP) and to a commercially available polylactic acid (PLA) based film added postfermentation. Chemical and sensory analyses of wines showed that PIMP treatments were more effective than PLA film for decreasing "fresh green" aroma nuances without negatively impacting overall aroma profiles and that postfermentation addition of a magnetic polymer removed up to 74% of the initial IBMP concentration compared to 18% for PLA. Prefermentation addition of magnetic polymers removed 20-30% less IBMP compared to that of postfermentation addition but also had less of an effect on other wine volatiles and color parameters.Chen Liang, Renata Ristic, Vladimir Jiranek, and David W.

IN VITRO INCORPORATION OF GLYCINE BY BOVINE ERYTHROCYTES INFECTED WITH ANAPLASMA MARGINALE
No full textism Anaplasma marginale over the past 50 years have consistently implicated circulating erythrocytes as the site of parasite multiplication. Few inquiries, however, have been made regarding the biochemical basis of the host-parasite relationship (reviewed by Ristic, 1960). Unfortunately, the parasite has not been propagated outside the mamma-lian host. Partial purification of A na-plasma has been achieved only recently (Ristic, 1962; Ristic and Kreier, 1963), and the metabolic competence of the partially purified microorganism re-mains to be demonstrated. The present investigation was under-taken to learn whether the synthesis of protein in bovine erythrocytes, as judged by amino acid incorporation, was enhanced following infection with A. marginale. This report offers evidence of accelerated glycine uptake into pro-tein by Anaplasma-infected erythro-cytes in vitro and furnishes data indicating that such uptakes are influ-enced by the amino acid and/or vitamin composition of the suspending medium. The results suggest that A. marginale might be studied effectively while with-in its host cell by capitalizing on th

On the Ristic–Balakrishnan distribution: Bivariate extension and characterizations
No full textOver the last few decades, a significant development has been made toward the augmentation of some well-known lifetime distributions by various strategies. These newly developed models have enjoyed a considerable amount of success in modeling various real life phenomena. Motivated by this, Ristic and Balakrishnan developed a special class of univariate distributions. We call this family of distribution the RB-G family of distributions. The RB-G family has the same parameters of the baseline distribution plus an additional positive shape parameter a. Several RB-G distributions can be obtained from a specified G distribution. For α=1, the baseline G distribution is a basic exemplar of the RB-G family with a continuous crossover toward cases with various shapes. In this article we focus our attention on the characterizations of this family and discuss some structural properties of the bivariate RB-G family of distributions that are not discussed in detail by Ristic and Balakrishnan

Wine-related aromas for different seasons and occasions: Hedonic and emotional responses of wine consumers from Australia, UK and USA
No full textIt is still not fully clear how particular aromas in wine may affect consumers’ liking and emotional responses, and whether these change in different contexts and seasons. Therefore, a study was conducted with 3000 regular wine consumers from Australia, UK and USA using an online survey that assessed liking for 59 wine aromas, and from which 9 aromas, selected as representatives of groups of similar aromas, were profiled for elicited emotions by the ScentMove™ scale. The most liked wine aromas across all countries were ‘berry-like’, followed by ‘vanilla’, ‘chocolate’, ‘citrus-like’ and ‘honey’. Interestingly, aromas with the same liking rating displayed significantly different emotional profiles which seemed to drive differences in preferred consumption occasion and season. For example, highly liked ‘passionfruit’ aroma, associated with happy, relaxed and romantic emotions, was suitable for many occasions and seasons, ‘lemon’ evoked energetic emotions and was preferred in wines consumed at parties/BBQs in summer, while ‘chocolate’ would fit well in a restaurant. Hedonic and emotional responses towards selected wine aromas differed between various demographic groups. Gender, age and consumption frequency had greater effects than education or income, with similar patterns found in each country indicating similarity in wine cultures and the language used. The national influence was more reflected in the polarised rating by the USA consumers compared to UK and Australia. This information could be utilised to produce wines for specific occasions and seasons.R. Ristic, L. Danner, T.E. Johnson, H.L. Meiselman, A.C. Hoek, V. Jiranek, S.E.P. Bastia
