Use of Lymphoscintigraphy in the Staging of Canine Oral Neoplasia
(2015-07-28)
Oral cancer is the fourth most common type of canine neoplasm. Metastatic potential is highly
variable, and failure to accurately identify evidence of metastasis results in detrimental outcomes
through inaccurate treatment ...
The Use of Mechanical Thinning Treatments in Management of Small Stands at the Wildland Urban Interface
(2004-12-15)

The Use of Media by African American Women to Acquire Mental Health Knowledge
(2006-05-15)
The study investigated the use of media by African American women to acquire knowledge to “help with life problems.” Participants self-reported their use of television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet in ...
Use of metabolic assays to assess thermal and hypoxia stress of freshwater mussel species from central Texas
(2019-04-17)
Warming temperatures are a major concern for freshwater mussels as they are limited in range, mobility, and potential to seek refuge from heat stress. Unionid mussels are ectothermic organisms, and the temperature of their ...
Use of Metabolically Modified Canola Oil as a Replacement for Fish Oil in Practical Diets of Pacific White Shrimp Litopeneaus vannamei
(2021-08-04)
The rapid growth of the aquaculture sector can be stifled by the inadequate supply of fish oil, leading the sector to search for alternative oil sources. The efficacy of metabolically modified canola oil (MCO) has not been ...
Use of N-mixture models for estimating white-tailed deer populations and impacts of predator removal and interspecific competition
(2014-04-25)
Predation and competition can have significant effects on population dynamics. Range expansion of coyotes (Canis latrans) and the growing number of wild pigs (Sus scrofa) can negatively impact white-tailed deer (Odocoileus ...
Use of NMES for Swallowing Habilitation in Neonatal Intensive Care Units: A Survey of Clinical Practice
(2021-01-19)
Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to identify clinical practice patterns of speech language pathologists who use NMES with the neonate and young infant population, specifically, the modality treatment parameters ...
Use of Optimized Aggregate Gradations and Dust-of-Fracture Mineral Filler for Concrete Applications
(2015-12-04)
Many proportioning methods exist to help the designer achieve a well-graded, or optimized aggregate gradation in the concrete industry, but not all are effective. The Shilstone Method and percent retained chart have been ...
Use of oseltamivir in canine parvoviral enteritis
(2008-05-15)
Despite the availability of an effective vaccine and an acceptable survival rate with intensive medical management, canine parvovirus remains a significant cause of disease morbidity and mortality of young dogs. Financial ...
The Use of Peanut By-products in Stocker Cattle Diets
