We sincerely appreciate the comments made by Warren Snodgrass and Nicol Bush regarding our paper. First of all, we need to clarify that of our population of 130 patients only 66 have already reached pubertal development (55 in the preputial flap group and 11 in the staged repair). The aim of the published paper, as already clearly stated in our discussion, was limited to a retrospective analysi...

environmental variables, including soil water content (swc), act as constraints on crop growth and productivity. therefore, open air (e0), perforated (e1) and non-perforated (e2) plastic housings were used with well-watered (w0), moderately-watered (w1) and water-stressed (w2) bush bean plants to explore the relationships between water-use efficiency (wue), carbon isotope discrimination (δ) and...

This paper describes a spatial systems architecture allowing clients to modify parameters and run their own bush fire simulations via map data provided by a http server. The simulations conform to the model of bush fire behaviors as well as operational requirements. A wavelet model and fire simulation over a distributed network are considered in this paper and we demonstrate how the architectur...

As his administration approaches its 6-month mark, President Bush has filled his cabinet, survived a showdown with China over a spy plane, and seen his $1.35 trillion tax cut passed by the House and Senate—just as the Republicans lost control of the Senate with the change of party by Senator James Jeffords of Vermont, who became an independent. Yet Bush and the new Senate Majority leader Tom Da...

Bush Honeysuckles, Lonicera maackii, L. morrowii, L.tatarica, and L. ×.bella, are invasive exotic shrubs naturalized throughout the midwestern United States, eastern United States and eastern Canada. Although most Lonicera populations can be traced to introductions starting in the late 1800’s (Luken 1991). Loniceras' radiation into native habitat has been known since the late 1700’s. In a 1791 ...

The term “problem tree” refers to a conceptual model used as a diagnostic tool to analyse a sequence of events that leads to a problem (such as bush encroachment in rangelands). A problem tree is useful because the consequences of different interventions can be visualised and understood more easily in diagrammatic form, thereby guiding management decisions regarding the problem. A problem tree ...

In 1945 Vannevar Bush proposed a machine that acted as a “supplement” to memory and met the particular information needs of its user. Because this “memex” recorded “trails” of selected documents, it has been seen as a precursor to hypertext. However, this paper considers Bush in relation to earlier concerns about memory and information, via the ideas of Robert Hooke and John Locke. Whereas Bush...

BACKGROUND The Australian cushion bush (Leucophyta brownii) of the Compositae family of plants has become a popular pot and container plant. The plant produces the sesquiterpene lactone allergen calocephalin. OBJECTIVES To assess the sensitizing potential of sesquiterpene lactones from cushion bush. PATIENTS/MATERIALS/METHODS Eleven Compositae-sensitive patients were patch tested with seven...

The objective of the study was to determine seasonal variation in the concentration of tannins in wild bush tea (Athrixia phylicoides L.) leaves. The BuOH-HCl_Fe reagent was used to analyze condensed tannins, whereas hydrolysable tannin was analyzed using potassium iodate. The absorbance was measured using a spectrophotometer. Significant seasonal variations in both condensed and hydrolysable t...
