As a part of a comprehensive programme of tuberculosis (TB) control in the central prison in Qazvin, Islamic Republic of Iran, a programme of active case-finding was carried out from February 2004 to July 2005. From the 768 prisoners examined, 41 (5.3%) were suspected of TB and gave sputum samples. A total of 7 smear-positive TB cases were found, giving a TB prevalence in the prison of 910 per ...

The best binary self-dual singly-even codes of length 48 have minimal weight 10 and are called optimal. There are 75 such codes found by Harada at al. in 2005. We use the method for constructing self-dual codes via automorphism of order three to find 102 optimal self-dual singly-even codes of length 48. We use computer algebra system Magma to construct the codes to compute their weight enumerat...

Abstract. The composite section from ODP Site 846 has provided key data sets for Pliocene stable isotope and paleoclimatic time series. We document here apparent outliers in previously published isotopes alkenone-derived sea surface temperature (SST) estimates the interval containing M2 glaciation (ca. 3.290–3.3 Ma) by tying high-resolution core measurements to a continuous downhole conductivit...

Die Dynamik der Informationstechnologie und steigende Komplexität von Informationssystemen schlägt sich auch im Informationssicherheitsmanagement nieder. Informationssicherheitsstandards haben sich als generische Lösungen für eine Vielzahl von Aufgaben etabliert. Inwieweit derartige Standards die benötigte ganzheitliche Betrachtung vorsehen ist bislang nicht geklärt. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wir...

The third instar larvae of Gepus invisus and Solter liber are comparatively described and illustrated for the first time with a particular emphasis on genus level characters. Larval morphology confirms a close relationship between these genera as they differ only in minor characters.

Žydelis et al. (2009 [this issue]) is a direct critique of 2 recent papers we published on the use of biodiversity offsets in managing fisheries bycatch (Wilcox & Donlan 2007; Donlan & Wilcox 2008). The authors misrepresent the use of biodiversity offsets as we presented them, misunderstand the policy objectives of fisheries (and bycatch) management, present a flawed analysis of the appropriate...
