(2024-04-16)
Oyster aquaculture is an important industry in the Gulf of Mexico and has seen a significant increase in interest over the last 20 years. Because oyster farming takes place in ambient waters, farmed oysters are subjected ...
Establishing Prolonged Hyperlactatemia in a Canine Model
(2014-07-29)
The purpose of this study was to maintain acid-base and electrolyte balance while inducing an eight-hour hyperlactatemic clamp of 8-9 mM using the canine model. Six adult dogs were anesthetized using sodium pentobarbital. ...
Establishing Viability of a Novel Wire Induction Extrusion 3D Printing Method
(2020-07-31)
