Twenty-nine DLS (1/2 Dorset, 1/4 Leicester, 1/4 Suffolk) ewes selected for extended breeding season, were involved in this study which lasted for 18 mo. According to their lambing date relative to January first, 15 ewes had a high lambing index whereas the others had a low index, the difference being 33 days (P < 0.01). Half the ewes were assigned at random to remain nonpregnant throughout the study, whereas the other half was mated in July and August. From 1 May to 15 July, 20 ewes (69%) were cycling of which 81% were from the high and 54% from the low index group (0.05 > P < 0.10). Two ewes (7%) continued cycling throughout the summer, whereas the remaining 18 ewes experienced a period of summer anestrus which occurred on 27 May (± 3.5 days) and lasted for an average of 63 ± 2.6 days. The first ovulation (unaccompanied by estrus) was observed on 29 July (± 2.6 days) the second ovulation, 20 days later was accompanied by estrus. The breeding season in nonpregnant ewes lasted 194 ± 3.2 days ending on 1 Mar. (± 7.3 days). The average lambing date of the 15 pregnant ewes was 8 Jan. (± 2.8 days). Seven of these ewes exhibited at least one ovulation postpartum, but in only two ewes was the ovulation accompanied by estrus. Introducing rams daily indicated that marker rams were successful in detecting only 88% of the ewes in estrus. Sixty-six percent of the false heats were observed prior to resumption of the regular estrous cycle. Key words: Ovarian activity, estrous activity, pregnancy, extended breeding season, estrus detection

The role and place of word combinations in modern English has been the subject of research from time to time. Research on word combinations shows that in most cases there is no difference between free word combinations and phraseological combinations. As for the difference between word combinations, one is ready in the language, and the other is formed in the process of speech. The main reason for the combination of words in the speech process is the interconnectedness of the concepts they express. Thus, the basis of word combinations is the mutual compatibility of the concepts they express. A popular approach to word combinations is to compare the meanings of words in foreign and native languages. Key words: word combination, speech process, concept, category, typology

Cak is a Luish language of the Tibeto-Burman language family and it is spoken mainly in the Naikhyongchari subdistrict of Bandarban district, Chittagong Hill Tracts (henceforth, CHT),Bangladesh. In this paper, I briefly describe the Cak numeral system. Numerals in Cak are basically nouns. Cak has two series of cardinal numerals: one is the native Cak numerals and the other is borrowed from Marma. The difference between these two types of numerals is reflected in the classifiers that they take: Cak numerals take native Cak classifiers whereas the numerals borrowed from Marma take classifiers of Marma origin. The native Cak numeral for ‘one' is unique in two respects. First, it changes form according to its phonological environment. Second, it appears after classifiers, while the other numerals precede classifiers. Finally, I show that all the ordinal numerals are borrowed from Pali through Marma. Key words: Cak, Marma, numerals, numeral classifiers, Tibeto-Burman languagesDOI: 10.3329/dujl.v1i2.3714 The Dhaka University Journal of Linguistics: Vol. 1 No.2 August, 2008 Page: 1-10

The purpose of this investigation was to quantify the difference in energy expenditure between traditional cycling handlebars and aero-bars during outdoor submaximal cycling. Eleven trained cyclists (age = 29.3 ± 1.9 years, weight = 69.4 ± 3.8 kg, VO2max = 58.1 ± 2.0 ml∙kg−1∙min−1) were randomly assigned a sequence of three hand positions: brake hoods (BH), drop-bars (DB), and aero-bars (AB). Subjects cycled at 30 km∙h−1 in one position for 5 minutes, then recovered until HR fell below 120 bpm. This was then repeated for the other hand positions. All cycling was completed on a standard racing bike fitted with aero-bars. Tire pressure was held constant for all trials. A portable telemetric system (Cosmed K-2) was used to measure VO2, VE and heart rate (HR) during the trials. No statistical differences were observed between AB and DB. Significant differences (p <.05) were found between BH (VE = 66.1 ± 2.7 L∙min−1; HR = 152 ± 4 bpm; VO2 = 1.56 ±.15 L∙min−1) and AB (VE = 61.3 ± 2.8 L∙min−1; HR = 146 ± 4 bpm; VO2 = 1.31 ±.10 L∙min−1). AB provides an energy savings over the traditional BH cycling posture. Key words: aerodynamic handlebars, oxygen consumption, field testing, portable telemetric system

The paper explains the internal phonological and lexical innovations in Taba language in North Maluku from historical linguistics perspective. 200 and 1000 basic and cultural vocabulary, respectively, have been collected using note-taking and recorded interviews in Taba language and other related languages, including Buli, Maba, Sawai, Gebe, and Gane. Data were analysed using horizontal approach, employing intralingual comparative-linking method. The analysis reveals that Taba language has nine phonological propensities which are unidentified in other languages in North Maluku. These include (1) realization of /s/ in the final position, preceded by dental consonants /d, t/; (2) omission, as opposed to appearance in other languages, of the first syllable; (3) realization of vowel /o/ in penultima sylable (otherwise i-o sequence in different syllables); 4) realization of consonant /h/ in ultima and penultima sylables; 5) realization of consonant /c/in the initial potition; 6) regular realization of vowel /a/ in the initial penultima syllable; 7) omission of the first syllable, followed by an addition of either a phoneme or syllable in the final position; 8) realization of /k/ in the final position; and 9) realization of /h/ in the central position. Meanwhile, the internal lexical innovation (the difference with the other five languages of South Halmahera is horizontal) can be observed in as such words that refer to awan ‘cloud’, baik ‘good’, belok ‘to turn’, gigit ‘to bite’, dekat ‘near’, ikat ‘bundle’, jahit ‘stitch’, jarum ‘needle’ and jika‘if’.Key words: internal innovations, historical linguistics, phonological innovations, lexical innovations.INOVASI INTERNAL BAHASA TABA DI MALUKU UTARA: PERSPEKTIF LINGUISTIK HISTORISAbstrakTulisan ini bertujuan menjelaskan inovasi internal aspek fonologi dan leksikal bahasa Taba di Maluku Utara dari perspektif studi linguistik historis. Data berupa 200 kosa kata dasar dan 1000 kosa kata budaya telah dikumpulkan dengan metode wawancara/cakap teknik catat dan rekam dalam bahasa Taba, dan lima bahasa lain yang sekerabatnya dengannya, yaitu Buli, Maba, Sawai, Gebe, dan Gane. Lalu, data dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan horizontal metode padan intralingual, teknik hubung-banding. Dalam bahasa Taba setidak-tidaknya memiliki sembilan kecenderungan fonologis yang tidak dimiliki oleh bahasa Halmahera Selatan lainnya. Yaitu, (1) merealisasikan bunyi /s/ pada posisi akhir yang diawali konsonan dental /d, t/; (2) mengalami penghilangan suku awal, sedangkan bahasa lain sebaliknya (muncul); (3) merealisasikan vokal /o/ (perendahan vokal) pada silabe penultima (atau pada urutan i-o pada silabe berbeda); (4) merealisasikan konsonan /h/ baik pada silabe penultima maupun ultima; (5) merealisasikan konsonan /c/ pada posisi awal; (6) merealisasikan vokal /a/ secara teratur pada silabe awal penultima; (7) terjadi penghilangan suku awal diikuti oleh penambahan fonem atau silabe pada posisi akhir; (8) merealisasikan /k/ pada posisi akhir; serta (9) merealisasikan bunyi /h/ pada posisi tengah. Adapun inovasi leksikal (perbedaannya dengan lima bahasa Halmahea Selatan lainnya secara horizontal) di antaranya dapat ditemukan pada kata yang bermakna ‘awan’, ‘baik’, ‘belok’, ‘gigit’, ‘dekat’, ‘ikat’, ‘jahit’, ‘jarum’, ‘jika, kalau’, dan sebagainya.Kata kunci: inovasi internal, linguistik historis, inovasi fonologi, dan inovasi leksikal.

Forty non-lactating, cyclic adult Pelibuey ewes were randomly divided into six groups. Estrus was synchronized within each group using intravaginal sponges and prostaglandin F2&alpha; injection at the time of the sponge removal. The sponges were inserted and removed on different dates in each group, but all the groups except the control one were first exposed to rams on the same date (July 17<sup>th</sup>), so that at the time of the first exposure the ewes were either on day 0 (group D0; n = 7), 3 (group D3; n = 7), 8 (group D8; n = 7), 12 (group D12; n = 7) or 14 (group D14; n = 7) of their synchronized estrous cycle. Thereafter the ewes of these groups remained continuously exposed to the males until all the females showed estrus. The ewes in the control group (CG; n = 5) remained isolated from all the males, except for 5-minute periods at the time of estrus detection, which was carried out three times a day. Progesterone concentrations were determined in plasma samples taken daily from two days before the initial exposure to the males until the onset of the next estrus. There were no differences in estrous cycle length between the groups exposed to rams and the control group (P &gt; 0.05). The interval from the assumed onset of the estrous cycle (48 h after sponge removal) until the occurrence of luteolysis was not different between the control group and any of the groups exposed to the males. The interval from luteolysis to estrus was not modified by exposure to the males (P &gt; 0.05). Estrus duration was shorter (P &lt; 0.06) in the control group than in group D3. It is concluded that the exposure of cyclic Pelibuey ewes to males does not advance the time of luteolysis and does not affect the length of the estrous cycle. Therefore, the male effect does not synchronize the next estrus of cyclic Pelibuey ewes. &nbsp;

SummaryThe authors previously reported a transient decrease in adhesive platelet count and an enhancement of blood coagulability after administration of a small amount of adrenaline (0.1-1 µg per Kg, i. v.) in man and rabbit. In such circumstances, the sensitivity of platelets to aggregation induced by ADP was studied by an optical density method. Five minutes after i. v. injection of 1 µg per Kg of adrenaline in 10 rabbits, intensity of platelet aggregation increased to 115.1 ± 4.9% (mean ± S. E.) by 10∼5 molar, 121.8 ± 7.8% by 3 × 10-6 molar and 129.4 ± 12.8% of the value before the injection by 10”6 molar ADP. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01-0.05). The above change was not observed in each group of rabbits injected with saline, 1 µg per Kg of 1-noradrenaline or 0.1 and 10 µg per Kg of adrenaline. Also, it was prevented by oral administration of 10 mg per Kg of phenoxybenzamine or propranolol or aspirin or pyridinolcarbamate 3 hours before the challenge. On the other hand, the enhancement of ADP-induced platelet aggregation was not observed in vitro, when 10-5 or 3 × 10-6 molar and 129.4 ± 12.8% of the value before 10∼6 molar ADP was added to citrated platelet rich plasma (CPRP) of rabbit after incubation at 37°C for 30 second with 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 µg per ml of adrenaline or noradrenaline. These results suggest an important interaction between endothelial surface and platelets in connection with the enhancement of ADP-induced platelet aggregation by adrenaline in vivo.

This chapter presents the equations and calculations for energy approximation. It establishes the estimates (261) and (262) of the Main Lemma (10.1) for continuous solutions; these estimates state that we are able to accurately prescribe the energy that the correction adds to the solution, as well as bound the difference between the time derivatives of these two quantities. The chapter also introduces the proposition for prescribing energy, followed by the relevant computations. Each integral contributing to the other term can be estimated. Another proposition for estimating control over the rate of energy variation is given. Finally, the coarse scale material derivative is considered.

Background: Pigmented tumour of the skin is one of the common tumour in human including the benign pigmented tumours (more common) called Nevi tumours and the malignant one called melanoma which was less frequent but the most poor in prognosis. In addition, the others not belonging to these group had the same clinical appearance, so the application of histopathology and immunohistochemistry for the definitive diagnosis was indespensible. Objectives: 1. To describe the macroscopic features of the pigmented tumoral-like lesions; 2. To classify the histopathologic types of the pigmented cell tumours and the other pigmented tumours of the skin. Materials and Method: Cross-sectional research on 55 patients diagnosed as pigmented tumoral lesions by clinician, then all definitively diagnosed by histopathology combining the immunohistochemistry in difficult cases. Results: There was no difference in gender, the disease was discovered most common in adult, especially with the age over 51 years old (58.1%). the most region located was in the face accounting for 60%, following the trunk and limbs (14.6%, 12.8% respectively). All 3 malignant melanomas happened in foot. The most common color of the lesions was black (65.4%), the other ones were rose, grey and blue. Histopathology and immunohisthochemistry showed that the true pigmented cell tumours were 52.6% encompassing benign ones (Nevi tumour) (41.8%), melanoma (5.4%) and lentigo (5.4%). 47.4% was not the true pigmented cell tumour including pigmented basocellular carcinoma (36.4%) and the others less common as histiofibromas, acanthoma and papilloma. Conclusion: the pigmented tumoral-like lesions of the skin could be the true pigmented cell tumours and the others, so the application of the histopathology and the immunohistochemistry after the clinical discovery helps to determine and classify the disease definitely and for the best orientation of treatment as well. Key words: skin tumour, benign pigmented tumour (Nevi), malignant pigmented tumour (melanoma), pigmented basocellular carcinoma
