AbstractIn this study we aimed to determine seroprevalence of antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii and parasite DNA presence in the milk of goats from a farm in eastern Slovakia. Anti-Toxoplasma antibodies were detected in 43 goat sera out of 87 examined (49.43%). The highest prevalence was recorded in the goats aged more than 72 months (76.19%; OR = 4.62; 95% CI = 1.51-14.14) and the lowest one in animals aged from 12 to 36 months (17.65%; OR = 0.09; 95% CI = 0.03-0.27). Statistically significant correlation (P < 0.0001) was found between the prevalence of antibodies against T. gondi and animal age in comparing age groups - goats up to 36 months of age and above 37 months of age. The presence of T. gondii DNA was confirmed in 32.56% of milk samples using molecular methods. Based on the DNA polymorphism at the SAG2 locus of T. gondii we identified the goats as being infected with genotype II of T. gondii. Presence of DNA in milk refers to the risk of human infection through consuming raw milk.

Abstract We question Baumard's underlying assumption that humans have a propensity to innovate. Affordable transportation and energy underpinned the Industrial Revolution, making mass production/consumption possible. Although we cannot accept Baumard's thesis on the Industrial Revolution, it may help explain why complexity and innovation increase rapidly in the context of abundant energy.

SummaryUsing sophisticated computer programs and elaborate physical models, accurate radiative and collisional atomic data of astrophysical interest have been or are being calculated. The cases treated include radiative transitions between bound states in the 2p4and 2s2p5configurations of many ions in the oxygen isoelectronic sequence, the photoionisation of the ground state of neutral iron, the electron impact excitation of the fine-structure forbidden transitions within the 3p3ground configuration of CℓIII, Ar IV and K V, and the mass-production of radiative data for ions in the oxygen and fluorine isoelectronic sequences, as part of the international Opacity Project.

IntroductionSeveral methods of mounting emulsion for radioautography at the electron microscopic level have been reported. From the viewpoint of quantitative radioautography, however, there are many critical problems in the procedure to produce radioautographs. For example, it is necessary to apply and develop emulsions in several experimental groups under an identical condition. Moreover, it is necessary to treat a lot of grids at the same time in the dark room for statistical analysis. Since the complicated process and technical difficulties in these procedures are inadequate to conduct a quantitative analysis of many radioautographs at once, many factors may bring about unexpected results. In order to improve these complicated procedures, a simplified dropping method for mass production of radioautographs under an identical condition was previously reported. However, this procedure was not completely satisfactory from the viewpoint of emulsion homogeneity. This paper reports another improved procedure employing wire loops.
