(13) The performance of wide-bore capillary columns was good and the correspondence of the resolution obtained with SARD and that with mass detection was excellent.
(14) This open study examined the safety of adding a second slow-acting anti-rheumatic drug (SARD) - D-penicillamine or sodium aurothiomalate - to the therapy of 38 rheumatoid patients already established on sulphasalazine.
(15) The slow acting anti-rheumatic drugs (SARDS) are a chemically heterogeneous group.

(5) The health of the sward must be maintained while improving individual animal performance and simultaneously increasing stocking rate.
(6) But in tropical grass swards, leaf density and leaf:stem ratio have a greater influence on bite size than does leaf surface height.
(7) Sixty-four intact lambs and twenty-four lambs fitted with a duodenal cannula were weaned at 6 weeks of age and grazed pure species swards of either lucerne (Medicago sativa), white clover ((Trifolium repens), ryegrass (Lolium perenne) or prairie grass (Bromus catharticus) for 6 weeks.
