	Permian - Triassic Boundary Stratotype
		The base of the Triassic System is defined at the first occurrence of the conodont species Hindeodus parvus in the evolutionary lineage Hindeodus latidentatus - Hindeodus parvus - Isarcicella isarcica at the base of Bed 27c in the Meishan Section, Changxing County, Zhejiang Province, China.
		Base of Bed 27c at the Meishan Section, Changxing County, Zhejiang Province, China.
		The GSSP Bed 27 consists of a light grey medium-bedded silty limestone, overlayed by grayish clay and medium-bedded dolomitic, argillaceous calcimicrite (Beds 28, 29).

		The Meishan breed was introduced into the United States under a cooperative effort of the USDA, the University of Illinois, and Iowa State University.
		Meishan pigs are well fed and managed, being fed farm by-products and water plants, as well as concentrates.
		Meishan pigs are perhaps one of the most prolific breeds of pig in the world.

	Tata Steel - Newsroom
		Meishan Steel, China was faced with the problem of attaining phosphorus levels of less than 0.010% from input hot metal containing more than 0.2% of the same along with silicon level of 0.3%.The iron ore source of this plant is not very good and the hot metal produced has high phosphorous (~ 0.25%) and manganese.
		Meishan appointed M/s Kuttner GMBH for this purpose.
		This team of metallurgists headed for Meishan Steel and studied the problem in detail encompassing the blow profile, flux addition profile, slag analysis etc. Based on their study, they developed a solution for various input hot metal conditions to which, further modifications were made to ensure consistent turndown conditions.

		Scientists hypothesized that elevated levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in Meishan females were the cause of their large litters.
		The first important finding was that Meishan boars have five to seven times more FSH in their blood than U.S. boars have, but their testes were 40 percent smaller than those of U.S. boars.
		ARS researchers also found that a gene (or genes) on the X-chromosome affects the size of Meishans' testes, whereas in rodents, testis size is more affected by the genes on the Y-chromosome.

		The Chinese Meishan breed is characterised as a hyperprolific line with high fat deposition and low muscularity in carcass (Ford, 1997).
		All the symptoms showed one major peak at the time of the second schizogony in Meishan, but two peaks in Pietrain, one at the second schizogony and a second at the time of sarcocyst formation, starting from day 28.

		Meishan was dead, the master was not going to be spending the night with her.
		For Songlian to be able to be in control of her own life she had to become insane, for a woman living in a traditional household and wanting to be independent was a paradox, and if she was striving for her freedom she would be knocking her head against a brick wall.

		ABSTRACT Meishan and Yorkshire gilts were bred exclusively to Yorkshire and Meishan boars, respectively, resulting in similar Meishan x Yorkshire fetuses gestating in the uteri of both maternal breeds.
		In a previous study using straightbred Meishan or Yorkshire conceptuses gestated in either a Meishan or Yorkshire uterus, we found Meishan conceptuses had a markedly greater placental efficiency than did Yorkshire conceptuses, regardless of the type of uterus in which they were gestated.
		Additionally, the placental efficiency was intermediate for Meishan x Yorkshire conceptuses compared with straightbred Meishan or straightbred Yorkshire conceptuses, regardless of the uterine type in which they gestated.

		Therefore, understanding the mechanisms by which Meishan pigs achieve their increased prenatal survival at a given ovulation rate [ 2 ], may help in the development of strategies to overcome this problem.
		This suggests that Meishan conceptuses that are less morphologically developed are nevertheless at an equivalent stage of biochemical development with regard to their ability to secrete oestrogens.
		Thus, we have assumed that the Meishan conceptuses studied during this investigation were representative of those used in comparative studies in our laboratory [ 8, 12 ].

		Straight-bred Meishan (n = 5) and Yorkshire (n = 5) females were laparotomized and one uterine horn was randomly assigned to receive fetal crushing (treated horn); the other uterine horn served as a within-animal control.
		In contrast to the surviving Yorkshire conceptuses in the treated uterine horn, which had increased placental size and surface area of attachment, surviving Meishan conceptuses in the treated uterine horn failed to exhibit similar compensatory increases in placental size in response to the loss of an adjacent littermate.
		This failure of surviving Meishan conceptuses to accelerate their placental growth may be due to its documented ability to increase the density of blood vessels at the placental:endometrial interface in response to increasing fetal demands.

		Meishan is in operation approximately 300 days per year and the drilling teams consist of two men per drill rig, six hours per shift, two shifts per day.
		Through this long partnership with Atlas Copco, Meishan has also accumulated extensive experience of equipment management and maintenance where the focus is on cleaning, spot checking, lubricating, oil refilling and greasing.
		In addition, as Meishan is a good example of how Atlas Copco’s after-sales service can make an important contribution, training for other customers’ operators often takes place in the Meishan drifts.

		In the past, scientists thought that the Meishan fossil record resembled a stepped pattern, recording a series of smaller extinctions spread out over a few million years around the P-T boundary.
		At Meishan, fossil-rich rock layers are sandwiched between layers of volcanic ash that are already well-dated by isotopic analysis.
		The extinction peak in the fossil record coincides with a significant shift in carbon isotope ratios, which may indicate a devastating population crash of marine life.

		The Meishan alleles at these QTLs were associated with better meat quality, smaller meat area and surprisingly with a leaner carcass than the Pietrain alleles.
		In the Meishan - Pietrain crosses eight traits were associated with GH1 genotypes, but no effects were detected in the Wild Boar - Pietrain crosses.
		The differences between the extremes in the Meishan - Pietrain F2 pigs were ~10 mm for back fat depth, ~1 kg for back fat weight, 6% for lean and fat cut percentages and 0.3% for lean to fat ratio.

		Selection in pure Meishan is expensive and complicated by early sexual activity in males together with difficulty in ultrasonic measurement of backfat.
		Females containing Meishan appear to be very docile, and for markets with a low investment in buildings and less concern over lean yield, Meishan crosses may well find acceptance within five years.
		In first parity 50% Meishan crosses the difference between ESR homozygotes is around 2-3 pigs per litter, declining to 1.0 at later parities.

		The response of Meishan conceptuses to an exogenous precursor for oestradiol-17 β biosynthesis was investigated in vitro, to determine whether gestational age or morphological stage of development elicit changes in hormone metabolism.
		However, on day 11 oestradiol-17 β was only detected at significant concentrations in the culture media of four testosterone supplemented conceptuses and only one gilt produced conceptuses capable of secreting oestradiol-17 β in the absence of testosterone.
		Once established, Meishan conceptus oestradiol-17 β secretion in vitro is increased in the presence of exogenous testosterone.
