[comparative characteristics of basic lipids and fatty acids in moose and cow's milk].	the results of the study of basic lipid fractions and fatty acids in the moose and cow milk have evidenced similarity of lipid components of these two kinds of milk. at the same time each fraction of neutral lipids and phospholipids in moose and cow milk studied has its own specificity. the composition of most phospholipid fractions in moose milk is more enriched than that of the corresponding fractions in cow milk, with respect to a number of parameters of fatty acids, in particular, essential ...	1988	3363915
parasites of moose (alces alces) from an agricultural area of eastern ontario.	viscera of 16 moose and hide samples of 24 moose (alces alces) shot in eastern ontario in 1985 were examined for parasites. two species of trematodes, one species of cestode, five species of nematodes and one species of tick were recovered. one nematode species, trichuris discolor, is reported for the first time from moose. our results suggest that the parasite fauna of the moose may have been influenced by the absence or scarcity of other species of wild cervids or carnivores and by the presenc ...	1988	3373648
cadmium levels in ontario moose and deer in relation to soil sensitivity to acid precipitation.	this study examines the influence of buffering capacity of the soil on the levels of cadmium in the kidney, liver and muscle of moose and white-tailed deer from nine sampling sites (four buffered and five non-buffered) in ontario, canada. tissues collected from hunter-killed moose and deer during 1984 and 1985 were analysed for cadmium. tissue from moose in the non-buffered algonquin park site (21.9 +/- 1.1 mg/kg wet weight) and the buffered st. joseph island site (12.7 +/- 3.2 mg kg-1) had the ...	1988	3381081
growth and development of winter tick, dermacentor albipictus, on moose, alces alces.	moose, alces alces, were infested with 21,000 or 42,000 larval dermacentor albipictus at the end of september. larvae grew rapidly and molted to the nymphal stage 10-22 days after infestation. the nymphal stage lasted approximately 3 mo until mid-january and was characterized by a diapause. the diapause is likely an adaptation to survival in cold climates. nymphs started engorging in january and adults were seen with increasing abundance from mid-january to march and april. the minimum parasitic ...	1988	3397828
increased osteoarthritis in moose from isle royale.	over the past 30 yr, moose (alces alces) in isle royale national park (michigan, usa) exhibited a several-fold increase in the prevalence of osteoarthritis, or degenerative joint disease (djd). available evidence points to an environmental explanation for this change. greater physical activity among afflicted moose is not a likely contributing factor, nor is genetic change in the population. the possible introduction of an unspecified disease agent cannot be dismissed at this time. moose exhibit ...	1988	3411702

the "placebo" effect of psychotherapy: a moose in the rabbit stew.	the placebo concept, essential for pharmacology, is inappropriate for psychotherapy. "common," "nonspecific," or "relationship" factors have not been satisfactorily differentiated from "specific," "intended," or "characteristic" factors in psychotherapy. this paper analyzes the placebo from historic, heuristic, semantic, and theoretical standpoints with reference to its misuse regarding psychotherapy.	1987	3578608
accidental firearm fatalities during hunting.	swedish legislation concerning firearms is highly restrictive. it is illegal to possess weapons (except airguns) without a license. from 1970 through 1982, there were 79 accidental firearm fatalities in sweden. this number, corresponding to 0.074/100,000/year, is very low in comparison with similar statistics worldwide. of these fatalities, 47 were associated with hunting and were studied carefully. despite an increase in both the popularity of hunting and in licensing of weapons, on change in t ...	1987	3605004
echinococcus granulosus (cestoda: taeniidae) infections in moose (alces alces) from southwestern quebec.	investigation of the distribution of larval echinococcus granulosus in a moose population from southwestern quebec revealed a distinct and stable pattern of infection with a prevalence of 44% (n = 580). positive correlations between moose age and the intensity, mean cyst weight and biomass of the hydatid cysts suggested a process of continued parasite acquisition and cyst growth. the distribution of cyst sizes within individual moose provided circumstantial evidence of interaction between cysts, ...	1987	3625899
parelaphostrongylus tenuis in new brunswick: the parasite in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) and moose (alces alces).	research was initiated in 1983 to investigate the ecology of parelaphostrongylus tenuis in new brunswick. the objectives were to determine the prevalence and intensity of infection in white-tailed deer, and to determine whether or not moose feces contained first stage larvae, signifying the completion of the life cycle of p. tenuis in this host. forty-nine percent of deer pellet samples were positive and 60% of deer heads contained adults of p. tenuis. none of the moose pellet samples contained ...	1987	3682097
pattern of cadmium contamination in the liver and kidneys of moose and white-tailed deer in québec.	samples of moose (n = 431) and white-tailed deer (n = 225) liver and kidneys were collected during the 1985 hunting season from 14 zones south of the 50 degree latitude in québec. regional differences in cadmium level in the liver were detected and three homogeneous areas were delineated for each species. uptake was greater for moose than for deer: in the liver, mean concentrations were 2.9-15.9 mg kg-1 (dry weight) for moose and 0.8-2.6 for deer, depending on the area and sex; in kidneys, means ...	1987	3685957

belovsky's model of optimal moose size.	belovsky's (1978) model for optimal size in moose is applied to red deer. criticisms are levelled at belovsky's model. in particular, the equation he derives relating net energy intake to body weight is shown to be fundamentally invalid. modifications are suggested using existing published information and an analysis of previously unpublished data on red deer stomach size as a function of body weight. i conclude that quantitative predictions of optimal body size are likely to be very difficult a ...	1986	3796013
in search of biomonitors for cadmium: cadmium content of wild swedish fauna during 1973-1976.	forty-five species of birds and 22 species of mammals of the terrestrial and aquatic fauna, herbivores as well as carnivores, were investigated during the period 1973-1976 for cadmium-accumulating properties in order to find biomonitors for cadmium in the swedish environment. the herbivores of the terrestrial fauna, birds as well as mammals, are preferred to carnivores, since they demonstrate generally higher renal cd levels. the moose (alces alces), roe deer (capreolus capreolus) and hare (lepu ...	1986	3810147
[a new onchocercal parasite, onchocerca alcis n. sp., parasite of the moose alces alces in sweden].	among the onchocercids of cervids, onchocerca alcis n. sp., a parasite of the moose, alces alces, belongs to that small palearctic group of evolved onchocercids consisting of o. jakutensis, o. garmsi and o. tarsicola. it is distinguished from its most closely related species, o. jakutensis, primarily on the characters of the lateral chord and cuticle, its greater spicule ratio, and the characteristic shapes of the anterior and posterior extremities of female worms.	1986	3813426
dot-elisa for the rapid serodiagnosis of human hydatid disease.	we studied the serodiagnosis of human hydatid disease using the dot-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dot-elisa) and the indirect hemagglutination assay (iha). hydatid cyst fluid antigens from sheep were highly reactive against a battery of positive human sera. moose-derived antigen was less reactive, whereas human- and camel-derived antigens showed nonspecific false-positive reactions. sensitivity of the dot-elisa was 96% using sheep-derived antigen and 45 human sera from 43 surgically proven ...	1986	3816047

the role of wild north american ungulates in the epidemiology of bovine brucellosis: a review.	published reports of brucella abortus infections in wild north american ungulates and domestic cattle herds were reviewed to determine if infection in these species was related. bison (bison bison) were frequently found infected, but are probably a minor threat to livestock due to their current limited distribution. most elk (cervus elaphus) were free of infection except where their range was shared with infected bison or livestock. deer (odocoileus spp.), pronghorns (antilocapra americana), moo ...	1985	3908724
ultrastructure of the cysts of sarcocystis grueneri from cardiac muscle of reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus).	cysts of sarcocystis grueneri from cardiac muscle of reindeer (rangifer tarandus) in norway were examined by transmission electron microscopy. the limiting unit membrane of the cyst proper formed regularly spaced invaginations into the cyst at numerous sites coinciding with interruptions in the underlying osmiophilic layer. the primary cyst wall formed numerous strip-like, sinuous protrusions, which were 30-40 nm thick, 150-300 nm wide and up to 4.5 microns long, and were running in parallel wit ...	1985	3922150
collisions with passenger cars and moose, sweden.	the number of collisions between motor vehicles and moose is increasing in many countries. collisions with large, high animals such as moose cause typical rear- and downward deformation of the windshield pillars and front roof, most pronounced for small passenger cars; the injury risk increases with the deformation of the car. a strengthening of the windshield pillars and front roof and the use of antilacerative windshields would reduce the injury risk to car occupants.	1986	3953927
carfentanil and xylazine for immobilization of moose (alces alces) on isle royale.	twenty-one moose were captured on isle royale between 28 may and 2 june 1984 at licks on the western end of the island. the animals were darted, at ranges of 10 to 35 m, with 3-cc dart syringes containing 3 or 4 mg of carfentanil and 100 or 175 mg of xylazine. three animals were drugged with carfentanil alone. immobilization time ranged from 2.5 to 6 min. there was no excitement phase evident in 18 of the animals and they rarely moved more than 30 m after darting. reversal was begun at 30 to 90 ...	1985	3981744
factors affecting transmission of larval winter ticks, dermacentor albipictus (packard), to moose, alces alces l., in alberta, canada.	the larval stage of the winter tick, dermacentor albipictus, was studied under field conditions in central alberta, canada. larvae ascended vegetation in autumn, possibly in response to photoperiod. numbers found by flagging increased from early september to early october and decreased gradually to zero by december. larvae clumped on the tips of vegetation approximately 1-1.5 m off the ground, and did not exhibit a diurnal, vertical migration. activity was temperature dependent and no obvious pr ...	1985	4032625
hemisphere dynamics in lexical access: automatic and controlled priming.	hemisphere differences in lexical processing may be due to asymmetry in the organization of lexical information, in procedures used to access the lexicon, or both. six lateralized lexical decision experiments employed various types of priming to distinguish among these possibilities. in three controlled (high probability) priming experiments, prime words could be used as lexical access clues. larger priming was obtained for orthographically similar stimuli (beak-bear) when presented to the left ...	2014	4052742
motorcycle fatalities in sweden.	an analysis has been made of 129 motorcycle fatalities, 119 men and 10 women, who were killed in 125 accidents during 1979-1981. sixty-seven of the 125 drivers were teenagers. twenty-seven drivers had no licence. ninety-nine riders were killed on sections of roads with a speed limit of 70 km/h or less. more than half of the decreased died in collisions with other vehicles. eight lost their lives in accidents where an animal, in seven cases a moose, was involved, and six people died in wobbling a ...	1985	4090883
