  Groat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Groat is the traditional name of the British silver coin worth four pennies.
While strictly speaking the English groat should have contained four pennyweights or 96 grains (6.2 grams) of sterling silver, the first ones issued weighed 89 grains (5.8 g) and later issues became progressively lighter.
From the reigns of Charles II to George III groats (by now often known as fourpences) were issued on an irregular basis for general circulation, the only years of mintage after 1786 being in 1792, 1795, and 1800.

 Some quality groat characters in oat wild species   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The purpose of this research was to identify interspecific differences in groat protein and groat oil content and aminoacid and fatty acid composition, disclose intraspecific variation of these parameters in correlation with the geographic origin of these forms, and to trace the dependence between grain quality parameters and cultivation conditions characteristic of these species.
Groat oil fatty acid composition demonstrated that concentration of saturated (palmitic and stearic) fatty acids were higher in A.hirtula and A.longiglumis; monounsatured (oleic) – in A.hirtula, A.longiglumis and A.wiestii; polyunsatured – (linoleic) in A.clauda and A.pilosa, (linolenic) in A.atlantica and A.longiglumis.

In many of the works presented, we find the paint is applied in broad strokes or highly apparent daubs and drips, heightening our sense of disparity between the creative energy of the artist and the refined sophistication of the image.
The surface of these paintings is thicker, with the addition of sand and occasionally collage to the medium, so that lines are inscribed into the surface as often as painted upon it.
Taken as a whole, Groat’s new work is characterized by a considerable versatility of style: a versatility reflecting his dynamic method of composition.

 Sacral spinal interneurones and the control of urinary bladder and urethral striated sphincter muscle function -- ...
The overlap in the labelling obtained from the pseudorabies viral injections into the bladder and striated sphincter muscle suggests that some of these labelled neurones may be interposed in pathways capable of influencing or co-ordinating both bladder parasympathetic and somatic sphincter motoneurone activity.
De Groat and Ryall (1968) also noted that the ventral root-evoked inhibition was not evident when the bladder was distended and the system primed for micturition.
De Groat and coworkers hypothesized that these neurones were interposed between descending fibres from the pontine micturition centre and the bladder preganglionic neurones and thus were likely to have excitatory actions at the preganglionic neurones.
