Proximate composition at various stages of adult life in the Southern Hemisphere lamprey, Geotria australis gray (1983)
Journal Article
Bird, D. J., & Potter, I. C. (1983). Proximate composition at various stages of adult life in the Southern Hemisphere lamprey, Geotria australis gray. Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - A: Comparative Physiology, 74(3), 623-633. https://doi.org/10.1016/0300-9629%2883%2990557-1

1. 1. At the end of the marine trophic phase in Geotria australis, the lipid content (as % wet body weight) was very high in the whole animal (21%) and in the liver (38-40%). 2. 2. During the very long spawning-run period (ca 16 months), vast changes...

Changes in the fatty acid composition of triacylglycerols and phospholipids during the life cycle of the lamprey Geotria australis Gray (1983)
Journal Article
Bird, D. J., & Potter, I. C. (1983). Changes in the fatty acid composition of triacylglycerols and phospholipids during the life cycle of the lamprey Geotria australis Gray. Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - B: Comparative Biochemistry, 75(1), 31-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/0305-0491%252883%252990036-6

1. 1. Fatty acid composition of Geotria australis has been investigated in larvae and downstream migrants and in muscle, liver and gonad of early upstream migrant and nearly mature adults. 2. 2. The main depot lipid class in G. australis is triacy...

From Public Assistance Institutions to ‘Sunshine Hotels’: Changing State perceptions about residential care for elderly people, 1939-48 (1983)
Journal Article
Smith, R., & Means, R. (1983). From Public Assistance Institutions to ‘Sunshine Hotels’: Changing State perceptions about residential care for elderly people, 1939-48. Ageing and Society, 3(2), 157-181. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0144686X00009995

This article traces the development of residential care for elderly people in the period 1939 to 1948. It begins by looking at the nature of such institutions in the period just prior to the Second World War and then discusses the complex impact of w...

SENSITIVITY AND FRAGILITY IN KERATOCONUS (1983)
Journal Article
MILLODOT, M., & OWENS, H. (1983). SENSITIVITY AND FRAGILITY IN KERATOCONUS. Acta Ophthalmologica, 61(5), 908-917. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1755-3768.1983.tb01473.x

38 persons with various degrees of keratoconus were examined. Using the photokeratoscope an index of the severity of the cone was established and compared to a group of normal eyes. Sensitivity was measured in the centre and periphery of the cornea.... Read More about SENSITIVITY AND FRAGILITY IN KERATOCONUS.
