Do alcoholics recover?
cataract surgery in the same hands. Rehabilitation is much easier than with other methods. The postoperative vision and orientation seem natural, and the patient can often see well without an additional optical correction. With this technique cataract surgery can be offered to patients with unilateral lens opacities which used to be left untreated when the fellow eye remained unaffected. Provid...
متن کاملDo Workfare Participants Recover Quickly from Retrenchment?
The incomes of continuing participants in a workfare program in Argentina are compared to those of a matched comparison group of non-participants and with a matched group of past participants who leave the program. We find partial income replacement, amounting to one-quarter of the gross workfare wage within six months of leaving the program, rising to one half in 12 months. The estimates are u...
متن کاملSoil C and N changes with afforestation of grasslands across gradients of precipitation and plantation age.
Afforestation, the conversion of unforested lands to forests, is a tool for sequestering anthropogenic carbon dioxide into plant biomass. However, in addition to altering biomass, afforestation can have substantial effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) pools, some of which have much longer turnover times than plant biomass. An increasing body of evidence suggests that the effect of afforestation...
متن کاملAfforestation alters the composition of functional genes in soil and biogeochemical processes in South American grasslands.
Soil microbes are highly diverse and control most soil biogeochemical reactions. We examined how microbial functional genes and biogeochemical pools responded to the altered chemical inputs accompanying land use change. We examined paired native grasslands and adjacent Eucalyptus plantations (previously grassland) in Uruguay, a region that lacked forests before European settlement. Along with m...
متن کاملThe initial effects of afforestation on the ground-dwelling spider fauna of Irish peatlands and grasslands
Across Europe, the majority of afforestation is carried out on former agricultural land. Given this current planting trend it is important to assess the impact that afforestation will have on the flora and fauna of habitats typically used for afforestation. The study aim was to investigate the initial effects of afforestation (5 years after planting) on the ground-dwelling spider fauna within t...
