Abstract:
The present study aimed to provide a comparative analysis of the effects of penetrative stunning, non-penetrative stunning and post-slaughter stunning on biochemical parameters and electroencephalogram (EEG) associated with stress in heifers and steers. Ten animals were assigned to each of the following four treatment groups: (1) animals were subjected to conventional halal slaughter (a clean incision through the structures on the ventral neck at the approximate level of vertebrae C2–C3 – the trachea, oesophagus, carotid arteries and jugular veins) and post-cut penetrating mechanical stun with

Electrical stunning is likely to remain an important stunning method for turkeys at slaughter. The purpose of this study is to understand the application of various waveforms of alternating current (AC) and pulsed direct currents (DC), head-only, to turkeys and to improve the effectiveness of handheld stunning of turkeys. We evaluated the effectiveness of stunning by documenting physical responses and recording electroencephalograms (EEGs).

Abstract:
Changes in left ventricular (LV) function are an early manifestation of the ischaemic cascade and often precede the well-recognized markers of ischaemia, such as ST segment changes or chest pain. Decreased ventricular compliance, diminished regional and global contractility, and elevated end-diastolic pressure occur within a few seconds of interruption of coronary blood flow by balloon occlusion, whereas recovery of these parameters can lag several minutes behind balloon deflation, restoration of blood flow, and resolution of electrocardiogram (ECG) changes. Prolonged postischaemic myocardial dysfunction, or stunning, can occur following recurrent ischaemia, which may persist for several hours or days even when blood flow is restored. The impact of transient or repetitive coronary occlusion on LV function is rarely of clinical consequence when percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is performed in patients with preserved ventricular function, but is potentially hazardous in those who have LV impairment at the outset, particularly when there is a large amount of myocardium at risk. These patients have attenuated haemodynamic reserve and may recover incompletely from post-ischaemic stunning, which increases the risk of entering a deteriorating spiral of decreasing cardiac output and worsening ischaemia that could culminate in cardiogenic shock or ventricular arrhythmias. Furthermore, patients with impaired LV function tend to be older and have more advanced comorbidities, which are independently associated with an adverse outcome following any form of revascularization.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on HIV, which has been our most politically charged illness and a defining health challenge of our time. The world of HIV care over the last two decades has seen a great, almost miraculous, revolution. Today, a 35-year-old who was HIV-infected in 2018 and takes her daily medication adherently has the life expectancy of a 35-year-old without HIV infection. Monthly injections of long-acting HIV drugs look to be as good as daily pills at suppressing the virus, creating easier treatment. Despite these stunning advances, disparities in detection and care characterize the disease. The epidemic has shifted to groups that are hard to test, hard to get started on preventive care, and hard to keep on daily medication—persons who inject stimulants, men on the down-low, the mentally ill, the homeless, and the rural poor with no health insurance. Lack of information, lack of trust of providers, unfamiliarity with services, and refusals of testing and treatment due to social rejection and privacy concerns make the delivery of care more challenging for these groups. Even among persons enrolled in AIDS clinical trials who have found their way to cutting-edge medical treatment, blacks and Hispanics have poorer outcomes. As such, reaching an end to HIV will require new attention to health systems and social stigma, to geography, to housing and outreach, to the long work of public health.

Abstract:
This chapter assesses how, in the closing weeks of May of 1864, William T. Sherman encountered a problem that had perplexed all successful commanders: how to complete a devastating pursuit. In particular, he needed to figure out how to prevent the escape of an enemy that might seek refuge in another position as formidable as the one previously vacated. With the Crossing of the Chattahoochee River, virtually without loss, Sherman brought this phase of the campaign to an end with a stunning feat for which he has received insufficient credit. There is one cardinal rule for river crossings, as for amphibious landings—cross or land where the enemy is not. In some ways, Sherman’s achievement is even more impressive than Ulysses S. Grant’s Crossing of the James the previous month, because of the close proximity of the enemy determined to resist his forays and superior in cavalry. Sherman out-thought and out-maneuvered Joseph E. Johnston. And for once, in this series of intricate movements, his cavalry played a creditable role.

Abstract:
There were two phrases spoken over and over again on September 11, 2001, and in the weeks and months following: “It was unimaginable” and, in an apparent contradiction, “It was just like a movie.” The sight of the twin towers falling was, in fact, both: utterly incomprehensible for New Yorkers and Americans of today and, at the same time, wholly recognizable to our well-trained popular-culture imaginations. If the first phrase was an accurate accounting of our daily experience, the second was an accurate statement of what we see when we turn on the television or go to a movie. Americans have been imagining New York’s destruction for two centuries. America’s writers and image makers have visualized New York’s annihilation in a stunning range of ways. Imagining New York’s destruction has not been the purview only of artists and novelists, but also a common narrative, inscribed in the daily world of newspapers and television shows, computer programs, and music albums. The images are pervasive and disturbing, but largely unstudied. Looking back, into New York’s history, we need to understand how and why American culture has so readily and so creatively narrated the city’s end, before 9/11 and after. Cultural forms express and reproduce social experience. It might not be surprising, then, that a leitmotif of American popular culture of the last 200 years has been the imagining of New York’s destruction. The United States is a deeply religious nation; students of American history need constantly to be reminded that the United States remains the most religious of Western industrialized nations. The country has exhibited a strong apocalyptic strain that has not been hard to translate into popular culture. But these visions of the city’s destruction stem in part from the real, lived experience of New Yorkers—their lives and the life of the city have been powerfully and permanently shaped by very real destruction and rebuilding. The specific fantasies and premonitions of New York’s destruction have followed the fears of the city’s people. Some of those fears were built on real experiences—a series of natural disasters, as well as what I have called the city’s relentless creative destruction—that have led New Yorkers to believe that, despite the dominance of their city in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the mighty city is fragile.

Abstract:
Chemical periodicity is arguably one of the most important ideas in science, and it has profoundly influenced the development of both modern chemistry and physics (Scerri 1997, 229). While the definition of periodicity has remained largely stable in the past 150 years, the periodic system has been visualized in a wide range of forms including (to name just a few) tables, spirals, and zigzags. Furthermore, information technology makes it much easier, and offers innovative ways, to produce new versions of periodic depictions (e.g., WebElements (Winter 1993)). The multitude of periodic visualizations arouses growing interest among scholars with different academic backgrounds. For instance, educational researchers and practitioners (e.g., Waldrip et al. 2010) wrestle with the question of which visual representation will most effectively help students master the subject content of periodicity. Likewise, philosophers tend to identify the ultimate display of the periodic system, which they use as evidence to support a realistic view of periodicity (Scerri 2007, 21). Other researchers, however, take a different attitude toward the stunning diversity of periodic depictions. In a seminal paper, Marchese (2013) examines the visualization of periodicity at different stages of history from the perspectives of tabular, cartographic, and hypermedia design. His analysis illuminates the periodic table’s plasticity and endeavors to justify the constant transformation of the periodic displays as a necessary means to meet scientists’ changing needs. While all these studies generally emphasize the importance of periodic depictions in scientific research and education, they tend to give primacy to the notion of “periodic system.” By contrast, the periodic table seems to play a secondary role, which either passively reflects the chemical law or responds to the evolving knowledge of chemical elements. Such a view runs the risk of underestimating the significant function of the periodic table as a productive research tool, one which enabled Mendeleev to successfully predict the existence and the properties of undiscovered elements such as germanium in 1869 (Kibler 2007, 222). It is important to note that science and technology are “both material and semiotic practices” (Halliday 1998, 228, italics in original).

Full text
Abstract:
Discovery of the iridium layer in the K/T boundary clay was the first clue that pointed to a cosmic impact as the trigger of the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs and their associates. But what hit the earth? Was it an asteroid or a comet? To answer, we need to know something about their differences. Unfortunately, the distinction is very blurred. Comets are thought to be huge icy objects, probably with cores made of a mix of water ice and silicates (sandy material), pristine examples of the type of material out of which the solar system was formed. Some of them are hundreds of kilometers in size and they may have been built in the envelopes of gas and dust that surround cool, supergiant stars at the end of their lives. Part of the doubt about distinctions comes from trying to decide what a comet would be like after the ice evaporates. Would it then be like an asteroid? Around the end of the nineteenth century the British astronomer Sir Richard Gregory pictured comets as made up of a cloud of meteorites. He thought that when such an object was first pulled into the solar system from interstellar space it began to glow because of internal heat created as particles began to jostle one another. As the object drew closer to the sun a tail was supposed to be formed as the particles between the meteorites bumped into one another and began to escape. He did consider the potential risk to earth if it were to run into the head of a comet made up of lots of meteorites. The picture he painted was based on what an earlier astronomer, Sir Simon Newcomb, had written about this possibility. Newcomb admitted that, although there were more likely ways to die than as a result of comet collision, such a fate was real. Should such a collision, occur, Gregory conjured up a picture of what might happen. On the one hand, if the comet head was made up of dust, the earth’s inhabitants would experience nothing more than a stunning display of shooting stars. But if the comet head was made of cannonball sized objects the consequences would be dire.

Of the countless interviews I have conducted with scientists over the years, only once has a question prompted something of a striptease. In December of 1999, I found myself in the elegant parlor of the Union Club in New York City, chatting with a biologist named Leonard Hayflick. Although hardly a household name to the general public, Hayflick is that rare scientist whose name is permanently attached to a biological phenomenon. It is known as the “Hayflick limit,” and it derives from experiments he did in the late 19505 and early 19605 showing that human cells grown in Petri dishes will predictably replicate for a certain number of cell divisions, but then hit a wall and stop dividing. This has obvious implications for cell biology, aging, and immortality (of the in vitro sort), and indeed the Hayflick limit has been the seed around which a spirited biological debate about the biology of aging has swirled, without definitive resolution, for about four decades now. Because of this history, Hayflick has closely followed the recent work on the biology of aging and regenerative medicine, which in turn has made him a front-row spectator in the more recent controversies involving human embryonic stem cell research and “therapeutic cloning.” At the time of my conversation with Hayflick, his longtime friend Michael West was attempting to obtain human embryonic stem cells through cloning—in a particularly controversial way, by putting human cells into egg cells from ... cows. Almost as an aside, I asked Hayflick what he thought about West's experiments. Hayflick replied by rolling up his pants leg. He bared enough skin to be able to point out a tiny dimple on his right knee. “The human cells he's using for the cow work came from here,” he said. I had to stand up and lean over to see it, but there was undeniably a tiny divot in Hayflick's skin. The implications were stunning: Leonard Hayflick, the father of cellular senescence and one of the elder statesmen of gerontology, was allowing himself, in a manner of speaking, to be cloned. In addition to making the obvious point that even the most innocuous question can elicit a startling answer, Hayflick's reply offered another lesson, too: that colorful characters can provide a narrative thread for bringing a controversy to life.
