Download or read book Secrets of the Snout written by Frank Rosell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dogs and humans have worked side by side for thousands of years, and over the millennia we’ve come to depend upon our pooches as hunters, protectors, and faithful companions. But when it comes to the extraordinary quality of man’s best friend which we rely on most, the winner is clear—by a nose. In Secrets of the Snout, Frank Rosell blends storytelling and science as he sniffs out the myriad ways in which dogs have been trained to employe their incredible olfactory skills, from sussing out cancer and narcotics to locating endangered and invasive species, as well as missing persons (and golf balls). With 300 million receptors to our mere 5 million, a dog’s nose is estimated to be between 100,000 and 100 million times more sensitive than a human’s. No wonder, then, that our nasally inferior species has sought to unleash the prodigious power of canine shnozzes. Rosell here takes us for a walk with a pack of superhero sniffers including Tutta, a dog with a fine nose for fine wine; the pet-finder pooch AJ; search-and-rescue dog Barry; the hunting dog Balder; the police dogs Rasko and Trixxi; the warfare dog Lisa; the cancer detection dog Jack; Tucker, who scents floating killer whale feces; and even Elvis, who can smell when you’re ovulating. With each dog, Rosell turns his nose to the evolution of the unique olfactory systems involved, which odors dogs detect, and how they do it. A celebration of how the canine sense for scents works—and works for us—Secrets of the Snout will have dog lovers, trainers, and researchers alike all howling with delight. Exploring this most pointed of canine wonders, Rosell reveals the often surprising ways in which dogs are bettering our world, one nose at a time.

Download or read book Natural Mycotoxin Contamination in Humans and Animals written by Martin Weidenbörner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a review of the existing literature on natural mycotoxins to create a comprehensive reference for mycotoxin levels. Each entry includes contamination, concentration rate, mostly mean mycotoxin concentration of organs (human and animal) and country of origin of the sample. Due to the serious spoilage and health issues the presence of mycotoxins can cause, it is imperative that corresponding scientists, health institutions and the food and feed industries have a more qualified understanding of mycotoxins in living things. To this end, Natural Mycotoxin Contamination in Humans and Animals provides an excellent resource. The present book complements the series of the author’s previous books, Mycotoxins in Feedstuffs and Mycotoxins in Foodstuffs, in that it is a review of the literature to create a comprehensive reference for mycotoxin levels. As with Mycotoxins and their Metabolites in Humans and Animals, the focus remains the same, but the scope now covers natural mycotoxins only.

Download or read book How to Capitalize Anything written by Giacomo Giammatteo and published by Inferno Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overuse of capitalization is rampant, and it’s getting worse. People tend to capitalize when emphasizing a point or because they think the word is important and deserves to be capitalized. I looked up the following words in numerous dictionaries, and none were listed. • Southern California • Southern Italy • West Texas • Texas Hill Country • Eastern Kentucky The proper nouns—California, Italy, Texas, and Kentucky—should be capitalized, but what about southern, eastern, west, and hill country? Or how about the words below? Is it . . . • French fries or french fries? • cheddar cheese or Cheddar cheese? • Chianti or chianti? • cabernet sauvignon or Cabernet Sauvignon? • Brussels sprouts or brussels sprouts? You may be surprised at some of the answers you’ll find. Dictionaries may not list these words, and style guides avoid specifics. The good news is when using this book, you won’t have to wonder again. The book covers geographical locations, compass points, religious deities, topographical locations, streets and roads, buildings, animal breeds (including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, donkeys, goats, sheep, and poultry), titles, academic degrees and courses, wine varietals, food groups, acronyms, eponyms, dialogue, brand names, titles of books, other works of art, and more. What do you do when the word you’re looking up isn’t in the dictionary and isn’t covered by your style guide? Check How to Capitalize Anything.
