possibility that the cowbird trapping was ineffectively implemented. Hall and Rothstein digress somewhat from local cowbird-control removals to potential landscape alternatives. Sorely overlooked in that treatment was a critical appraisal of broad-scale control options. In fact, data and analyses of several studies elsewhere in this volume suggest potential cowbird effects on host communities a...

A case of familial hot tub lung

Hot tub lung is a lung disease caused by Mycobacterium avium complex. We report the first case of familial hot tub lung appearing simultaneously in a husband and wife. Our case supports the consideration that hot tub lung is a hypersensitivity pneumonitis rather than an infectious lung disease. It also suggests that the state of hot tub lung changes seasonally depending on temperature variation...

TUB - Medusa SMT Project

Medusa[12] is the name of a LAN card designed for Hewlett Packard (HP) workstations in 1992 by the HP Laboratories in Bristol. The card attaches to the SGC1 slot of the machine and connectes to another Medusa card using a point-to-point connection topologie. The SGC interface provides access to the 1MB board buffer memory, the on board FIFO buffers and to the FDDI chipset register. The intentio...

A Critical Discussion on Bath-tub Curve

The typical bathtub curve and its “standard”shape have been widely accepted as an engineering tool in reliability management and training. However, some recent researches reveal that the typical theory of ‘bathtub curve’is not so convincing in some situations. Therefore, a critical discussion is developed to research the bath-tub curve along three significant periods of bath-tub; i.e. infant mo...
