1,3,7-Trimethyluric acid, also referred to as trimethyluric acid and 8-oxy-caffeine, is a purine alkaloid that is produced in some plants and occurs as a minor metabolite of caffeine in humans. [1] The enzymes that metabolize caffeine into 1,3,7-trimethyluric acid in humans include CYP1A2 , CYP2E1 , CYP2C8 , CYP2C9 , and CYP3A4 .
Trunk injection or endotherapy also known as vegetative endotherapy, [1] [2] [3] is a method of target-precise application of pesticides, [4] [5] [6] plant resistance activators, [7] or fertilizers [8] into the xylem vascular tissue of a tree with the purpose of protecting the tree from pests, or to inject nutrients to correct for nutrient deficiencies.
Pseudomonas syringae pv. Aesculi is a bacterium that causes bleeding canker of horse chestnut. The pathogen overwinters in the soil and can survive in the soil for about a year. [2] It is spread by water, rain, and tools that were used on the infected tree. [3] It causes lesions on the bark of the tree that can be near the base of the trunk or ...
In British Columbia, the Range Regulation defines "animal unit month" for purposes of the Range Act. Effectively, the regulation assigns animal unit equivalents of 1 for a cow (either by herself or with an unweaned calf), 0.7 for a yearling of the genus Bos, 1.5 for a bull, 1.25 for a horse, 0.2 for a sheep, 0.2 for a llama, and 0.1 for an ...
[4] [5] In some countries, such as Australia, New Zealand, Burma, India, Malaysia, and South Africa, breast height diameter has historically been measured at a height of 1.4 m (4 ft 7 in), but because of much active research into allometrics that are being applied to trees and forests, the convention of 1.3 m (4.3 ft) is more appropriate.

Lameness is an abnormal gait or stance of an animal that is the result of dysfunction of the locomotor system.In the horse, it is most commonly caused by pain, but can be due to neurologic or mechanical dysfunction.
The neiloid form often applies near the base of tree trunks exhibiting root flare, and just below limb bulges. The formula for the volume of a frustum of a neiloid: [25] V = (h)[A b + (A b 2 A u) 1/3 + (A b A u 2) 1/3 + A u], where A b is the area of the base and A u is the area of the top of the frustum. This volume may also be expressed in ...
By contrast, two studies on the Tevis Cup (a 160 km / 100-mile 24-hour race held each August near Truckee, California) found both for 1995 and 1996 (study 1) and for 1998 (study 2), that significantly more horses finished the race when they had a higher (vs. lower) body condition score. Horses competing in 1995 and 1996 had body condition ...
