Of the horse

Unlike the famous royal Pazyryk Kurgans, the ancient burials on the Ukok Plateau have been untouched by grave robbers they were discovered in their original state. Among numerous unique finds, the most remarkable ones are well-preserved human hair and nails, tails and manes of the horses buried together with the people and also the ash from the censer. 

An object is connected with whiffletrees to another object. Their purpose is to distribute forces according to the geometry (often equal) without constraining the relative positions of the horses... 

Scheme 9 shows SvatoS s synthesis of (8Z, 10 )-tetradeca-8,10-dienal (3), the female pheromone of the horse-chestnut leafminer (Caneraria ohridella) [20]. Palladium-catalyzed coupling of A with 1-pentyne was the key-step. 

Famphur was not very effective in the control of ticks. The tropical horse tick (Anocentor nitens) is a species of serious concern to horse breeders and raisers in Florida mainly because it transmits Babesia caballi, the causative agent of equine piroplasmosis. A secondary concern is that heavy tick infestations may cause injury to the ears of the horse (Gladney etal. 1972). Data were unavailable on famphur control of ticks in horses however, famphur was 99.9 to 100% effective in controlling A. nitens in Hereford steers and heifers when fed in the diet at 5 mg/kg BW for 14 to 21 days. Famphur at 2.5 mg/kg BW in cattle diets for 7 days was only partially effective (39 to 87.5%) in controlling horse ticks (Gladney et al. 1972). Famphur — despite multiple treatments — was not effective in controlling cattle ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis) when used as a pour-on at recommended application rates in weaned Hereford calves (Heath et al. 1980). 

Glanders A chronic debilitating disease of horses and other equids, as well as some members of the cat family, caused by Pseudomonas mallei it is transmissible to humans. It attacks the mucous membranes of the nostrils of the horse, producing an increased and vitiated secretion and discharge of mucus, and enlargement and induration of the glands of the lower jaw. 

There is some confusion in the literature regarding the substances designated as anti-choline-esterases (usually shortened to anticholinesterases). The term cholinesterase was first used1 in connexion with an enzyme present in the blood serum of the horse which catalysed the hydrolysis of acetylcholine and of butyrylcholine, but exhibited little activity towards methyl butyrate,... 

It is noteworthy, here, that one conunercial source of purified alcohol dehydrogenase is horse liver. There is a considerable quantity of this enzyme in horse liver. It is likely that alcohol arises from fermentation in the caecum of the high content of fibre present in the food of the horse. Hence its liver will be exposed chronically to high concentrations of alcohol, and the liver adapts by synthesising large quantities of the enzyme. 

LAG experiments on the composition of the sex pheromone of the horse-chestnut leafminer, Cameraria ohridella Deschka et Dimic (Lepidoptera, Gracillariidae, Lithocolletinae) showed that (9T )-tetradecenal and the stereoisomers of 8E, 10 )-tetradeca-8,10-dienal exhibited significant electrophysiological activity and could, therefore, be considered as possible minor pheromone components along with 8E, 10.Z)-tetradeca-8,10-dienal which is the major component. 

Cardoso et al. [115] have shown that AOT concentration is related to percolation. The percolation phenomenon was followed by a steep increase in the micellar conductivity [115]. Huang and Lee [49] observed a drastic reduction in the recovery (around 40%) of the horse radish peroxidase when AOT concentration was at 5 mmol 1 and further increase in AOT concentration to 10 mmol 1- produced no recovery at all. 

Potassium in Animals. Professor Abildgaard of Copenhagen discovered potassium in the blood of the horse. After adding nitric acid to the blood, he prepared and purified crystals of saltpeter (26). Potassium is essential to both plant and animal life, and the adult human body contains more potassium than sodium (27).

During 1997-1998 beef, sheep, and pork were the main commodities monitored, but horse, deer, emu, ostrich, poultry, and eggs were also covered. Over 20,000 samples were collected on which about 29,000 chemical analyses were conducted during 1997. Drug residues were not detected in any of the horse.

On the other hand, many of those plates generally considered modern fakes were made by a repousee technique and involved an outer, plain-curved back that was folded over at the rim to form a double-walled hollow plate. Occasionally a separate (cast) piece, usually a raised front leg of the horse, was attached, probably by soldering. These fakes and copies of existing museum plates all have less than 0.6% Au in Ag (in agreement with the fake Sasanian coins, Figure 5) and 14 of the 18 fakes in Figure 6 have less than 94% Ag + Au. 

Eklund et al. suggested that the side chains of Ser 48 and His 51 act as a proton relay system to remove the proton from the alcohol, in step b of Eq. 15-7, leaving the transient zinc-bound alcoholate ion, which can then transfer a hydride ion to NAD+, in step c.52 The shaded hydrogen atom leaves as H+. The role of His 51 as a base is supported by studies of the inactivation of the horse liver enzyme by diethyl pyrocarbonate57 and by directed mutation of yeast and liver enzymes. When His 51 was substituted by Gin the pKa of 7 was abolished and the activity was decreased ten-fold.58... 

Feeble or transitory colorations should be disregarded, since other flesh than that of the horse may contain small proportions of glycogen. The coloration should be sharp and decided and such is obtained with fresh horseflesh or with sausage containing it, if recently prepared the glycogen gradually disappears with lapse of time and the reaction becomes continually less marked.
