CONSOLIDATION OF BONE FRACTURES IN DOGS AND CATS. Fracture healing is an essential physiological process that determines quality of life as well as survival. Non-closure of the fracture determines significant limitations in the function of the musculoskeletal system. Deformities formed after fractures due to non-anatomical reposition of bone fragments, for example, reduction or curvature of a limb, determine pronounced limitations of biomechanical movements and capabilities. The ultimate goal is to consolidate the fracture with full return of bone strength as before the fracture. Quite a unique biological and physiological process, significantly long in time. The short phase of endochondral…

After Urban Renewal. Chapter 2 traces the changing nature of urban governance and participation between the 1940s and the present. It argues that much of HOPE VI variation is rooted in a city’s experience with earlier efforts at slum clearance, urban renewal, and central-city highways. In those cities where past backlashes against perceived excesses in land taking and displacement in residential areas led to lasting citywide movements to prevent this from happening again, there seems to be much greater protection for the poorest citizens under HOPE VI. Instead of more narrowly constructed urban regimes or growth machines focused in public-private partnerships, broader coalitions develop. Us…

Constellations and named stars. Abstract Several constellations are mentioned by Homer and Hesiod, including Orion, Boötes, and the Bear (Ursa Major), which is also called the Wagon. A few conspicuous stars are mentioned: Arcturus, Sirius, and the Pleiades. These names therefore go back to the beginning of Greek literature. The constellations of the Babylonian zodiac were borrowed, probably in the fifth century BCE , with minor modifications. For example, where the Babylonians had the Bull of Heaven and the Great Twins, the Greeks placed our Taurus and Gemini. However, our Aries (the ram) corresponds to the Babylonians' “Hired Laborer.” The Babylonians originally called Libra the “Claws” of…

Former constellations are old historical Western constellations that for various reasons are no longer widely recognised or are not officially recognised by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Prior to 1930, many of these defunct constellations were traditional in one or more countries or cultures. Some only lasted decades but others were referred to over many centuries. All are now recognised only for having classical or historical value. Many former constellations had complex Latinised names after objects, people, or mythological or zoological creatures. Others with unwieldy names were shortened for convenience. For example, Scutum Sobiescianum was reduced to Scutum, Mons Mensae t…

In contemporary astronomy, 88 constellations are recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Each constellation is a region of the sky bordered by arcs of right ascension and declination, together covering the entire celestial sphere. Their boundaries were officially adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1928 and published in 1930. The ancient Mesopotamians and later the Greeks established most of the northern constellations in international use today, listed by the Roman-Egyptian astronomer Ptolemy. The constellations along the ecliptic are called the zodiac. When explorers mapped the stars of the southern skies, European astronomers proposed new constellations f…
