The Horse

The classic example of an antiinflammatory dmg is aspirin [50-78-2], acetosahcyflc acid, an effective analgesic for many years. It is well tolerated by the dog and the horse, but is relatively toxic to cats. Under the proper clinical circumstances, it can be used for prolonged therapy in chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis. Rimadyl is presently used. 

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. 

James Watt doubled the efficiency of the steam engine by introducing the separate condenser in the 1760s and created a new unit, the horse power, to measure its output. In 1784, Oxford brewer Sutton Thomas Wood obtained a patent for using waste steam from an industrial process to drive a steam engine and also to use the exliaust steam or hot water... 

Large-scale crude oil exploitation began in the late nineteenth century. Internal combustion engines, which make use of the heat and kinetic energy of controlled explosions in a combustion chamber, were developed at approximately the same time. The pioneers in this field were Nikolaus Otto and Gottleib Daimler. These devices were rapidly adapted to military purposes. Small internal-combustion motors were used to drive dynamos to provide electric power to fortifications in Europe and the United States before the outbreak of World War I. Several armies experimented vith automobile transportation before 1914. The growing demand for fossil fuels in the early decades of the twentieth centuiy was exacerbated by the modernizing armies that slowly introduced mechanization into their orders of battle. The traditional companions of the soldier, the horse and mule, were slowly replaced by the armored car and the truck in the early twentieth century.

For more than a decade, Picatinny (as variously named) was merely a storage and powder depot. The initial building, a magazine 200 by 50 feet, was built at a cost of 51,700. Four other magazines followed rapidly, as did officers quarters, stables for the horses and the necessary service buildings... 

After the horses had worked for 2.5 h, the water began to boil. Assuming that all the work done by the horses was converted to heat in the iron and water, use the information in Table 6.2 to determine the work done by the horses per minute. 

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... 

Homogenates of MetruUum senile, possibly the world s most common large sea anemone, yield extracts that are powerfully hemolytic for washed mammalian erythrocytes (22). The active substance, metridiolysin, is a protein of molecular weight approximately 80,000. In contrast to the sphingomyelin-inhibitable toxins, metridiolysin is an acidic protein having a pi of about 5. It is thermolabile and is inactivat by proteolytic enzymes. The optimal pH for hemolysis is between 5 and 6, and at pH 8 the lysin is inactive. It can be dissociated into two subunits of unequal size. Besides being cytolytic in vitro, metridiolysin is lethal when injected intravenously into mice. As shown in Table IV erythrocytes from the horse or dog are about a hundred times as sensitive to lysis as those from the mouse, and erythrocytes from other animals tested are intermediate in sensitivity. 

Serum sickness. This occurs when there is an excess of anhgen to antibody, resulting in the formation of soluble complexes. These may circulate and cause systemic reactions or be widely deposited in the kidneys, joints and skin. A rise in temperature, swollen lymph nodes, a generalized urticarial rash and painful swollen joints occur. The rcpeated administration of foreign serum (e.g. antidiphtheria serum or antitetanus serum prepared in horses) can lead to this condition due to antibodies being produced to the horse protein material. 

These days, sait iicks are for saie everywhere. Some are artificiai with added ingredients that contribute to "the horse s weii-being." Others are naturai biocks of sait taken from mines and marketed primariiy to deer hunters who want to attract deer to a spot where the hunter wiii be waiting. Apparentiy sait iicks do their job weii.

It is doubtful if any design is entirely novel. The antecedence of most designs can usually be easily traced. The first motor cars were clearly horse-drawn carriages without the horse and the development of the design of the modern car can be traced step by step from these early prototypes. In the chemical industry, modem distillation processes have developed from the ancient stills used for rectification of spirits and the packed columns used for gas absorption have developed from primitive, brushwood-packed towers. So, it is not often that a process designer is faced with the task of producing a design for a completely novel process or piece of equipment. 

Horses are administered certain medications by running a lubricated tube up through the nostrils and down into the stomach. A funnel attached to the tube is held above the horse s head and the liquid medication is poured down the tube. This is known as tubing. ... 

This midsummer dawn is so early that the world seems barely to have slept. I pull on my gloves, for my hands are still cold the leather presses the Jason ring into my skin as if Louis himself touches me. Even the horses, dozing in the chill mist, hang their heads as if exhausted, with none of the scuffles and nips that horses do, as men do, to find out who is master this morning. It is sixty miles to Pontefract. We will ride it in one of these days, almost without end, that are bringing me so swiftly to my own. 

It is the horses as ever who know before we do that the time has come. They are suddenly alert, shifting and tossing their heads then orders are spoken, the dark bulk of the main gate cracks open, and we ride over the drawbridge and through the bailey, on to the open road. 

In the forest insects hang where the sun s streams warm the air as we ride through they dart and nip. The horses toss their heads and snort to shake them off, but we trot too fast for all but the biggest flies to stay with us. How it will be when the horses are weary, I do not know. The marshes north of York are low-lying, and agueish even in winter on a hot summer s day they swarm with gnats and midges. 

For all Edward clapped the horse chandler on the shoulder and smiled at his wife, we were told we must pay more for the horses, for the risk of the journey and the difficulty of getting them back. Nor could we quarrel with the price, because we could not hide our urgency. But at last we were mounted, and the guide with us. He was a small, dark man with a low brow and few words. 

By the time we sighted Lynn, the waters were up to the horses knees, and deepening by the second so that they struggled against it. 

Your pardon, I said. The horses had vanished round a bend in the lane, and only by the faint jingle of steel did I know that they were not long gone. Go in, now. It s too cold for little girls. ...
