The implementation of the revised national standard 1 (NS1) guidelines and annual catch limits (ACLs) — including the P-star (P*) approach to accounting for scientific uncertainty and the risk of overfishing — has added complexity to the harvest specifications setting process for this biennial cycle. Implementation of ACLs for the stock complexes has been particularly complicated. The Groundfis...

IMPORTANCE Global use of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines to prevent cervical cancer is impeded by cost. A 2-dose schedule for girls may be possible. OBJECTIVE To determine whether mean antibody levels to HPV-16 and HPV-18 among girls receiving 2 doses was noninferior to women receiving 3 doses. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Randomized, phase 3, postlicensure, multicenter, age-stratified...

which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Fig. 1. Serous atrophy in a diffuse and severe hypocellular background (A). Reduced fat cells, a diffuse extracellular gelatinous amorphous material, small typical lymphocytes, and mature plasma cells were also observed (B). Small islets of hematopoietic cel...

The ground moving target (GMT) is defocused due to unknown motion parameters in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. Although the conventional Omega-K algorithm (Omega-KA) has been proven be applicable for GMT imaging, its disadvantages are slow imaging speed, obvious sidelobe interference, and high computational complexity. To solve above problems, a SAR-GMT network proposed based on traina...

Thirty puppies were randomly divided in to 3 groups for comparative evaluation of two commercial CPV vaccines. Each group was further subdivided < 6 months and -old either vaccinated with a monovalent vaccine: Primodog, combination Duramune or maintained as non-vaccinated control. Humoral immune response determined by Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) on 21 35 -days after vaccination. The ge...

thimerosal, which is approximately 50% mercury by weight is a preservative widely used in vaccines since the 1930’s. it meets the requirements for a preservative as set forth by pharmacopeia challenge test and has been shown to be effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens. in july 1999, the public health service agencies and vaccine manufacturers agreed that thimerosal should be reduced o...


 Avian Influenza virus causes one of the most devastating viral disease in poultry industry and is distributed worldwide Bird flu vaccine with H9N2 strain avian influenza was prepared using four different adjuvants i.e. Eolane-130, Eolane-150, Eolane-170 Montanide oil ISA 70 MVG. Immune response all vaccinated control groups after single as well booster doses evaluated layer birds through...

Ghana is a country exceptionally rich in geologic mineral resources with contrasting topographic relief and varied geophysical setting. This paper evaluated the geological setting of special focus on impact topography gravity. Specifically, it assessed how variations geology, topography, landscapes environment control parameters these vary among major regions – Volta Basin, Northern Plains, Ash...

Abstract Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are causing unprecedented changes to the climate. In 2015, at United Nations (UN) Conference of Parties in Paris, France, countries agreed limit global mean temperature (GMT) increase 2°C above preindustrial levels, and pursue efforts warming 1.5°C. Due long‐term irreversibility sea level rise (SLR), risks island coastal populations not well encap...

The pattern of Global Mean Temperature (GMT) change is calculated by regressing local Surface Air Temperature (SAT) to GMT for an ensemble of CMIP5 models and for observations over the last 132 years. Calculations are based on the historical period and climate change scenarios. As in the observations the warming-pattern contains a warming hole over the subpolar North Atlantic. Using a bivariate...
