The current study hypothesised that large inter-individual distances between grower pigs in groups whose composition was stable for 6 weeks would also be predictive of the expression of other traits sensitive to chronic social stress.
Brains were cut with a vibratome in coronal corticostriatal slices (250 µm) in ice-cold solution, whose composition was (in mM): 110 choline, 2.5 KCl, 1.25 NaH2PO4, 7 MgCl2, 0.5 CaCl25 25 NaHCO3, 7 glucose, pH = 7.4 bubbled with O2/CO2 (95/5%).
In this paper, we are interested in the resolution of the time-dependent problem of particle transport in a medium whose composition evolves with time due to interactions.
Kangaroos travel and feed in groups ("mobs") whose composition shifts, but they are not truly social, since the individual members move at liberty.
Individuals are found by observers in small groups whose composition changes on the timescale of days.
Contaminants occur in complex mixtures whose composition varies spatially and temporally, and we now appreciate that transformation products of bioactive compounds can themselves retain bioactivity.
Slices were then stored in artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF), whose composition was (in mM): 126 NaCl, 2.5 KCl, 1.2 MgCl2, 1.2 NaH2.44, 2.4 CaCl2, 11 glucose, and 25 NaHCO3, pH = 7.4, gassed with O2/CO2, and containing 250 µM kynurenic acid and 1 mM sodium pyruvate.
Enzyme activities were measured in 200-μl assay mixtures whose composition is detailed in the Results section.
Nougat, aerated confection made by mixing nuts and sometimes fruit pieces in a sugar paste whose composition is varied to give either a chewy or a brittle consistency.
The tribal organization of the populace was replaced by one based on military units, whose composition in the late regal period depended on property qualifications.
