Bradshaw argues that early socialisation and training can help achieve some of these goals, but that we should also consider selective breeding of behaviour. Controversially, the author is suggesting that widespread neutering in the UK be relaxed, arguing that the practi...

Whales from Space: Counting Southern Right Whales by Satellite

We describe a method of identifying and counting whales using very high resolution satellite imagery through the example of southern right whales breeding in part of the Golfo Nuevo, Península Valdés in Argentina. Southern right whales have been extensively hunted over the last 300 years and although numbers have recovered from near extinction in the early 20(th) century, current populations ar...

Radioactive iodine and radioactive cesium: two important radio-hazard elements in post nuclear power plant crisis

The present nuclear leakage crisis from Japan is a topic to be discussed in present public health. In radiology, the leaked radioactive elements are considered hazard. Here, the author briefly reviews and discusses on two important radio-hazard elements in post nuclear power plant crisis, radioactive iodine and radioactive cesium. Based on previous similar nuclear crisis in Russia, it ...

And new evidence from a survey of one population reveals how perilous it is, even after the 24-year moratorium on commercial whaling. The North Pacific right whale was the subject of hunting in the gulf of Alaska from...
