Following a previous work, concerning the energy audit of a nursery school belonging to the public building park of the town of Palermo, some further analyses have been conducted. These mainly refer to the environmental performances of the school that are assessed with regards to different interventions involving the envelope (the glazed part, particularly) and the surrounding spaces. The inter...

During the preschool years assessment is an on-going process, ideally in a nursery school with specially trained staff. In doubtful cases the child may start in a special school and be promoted to an ordinary school. The responsibility for placing a child in an ordinary school is a serious one because failure can be a searing experience for the child. A child who has to be transferred from a no...

Tidal marshes provide nursery habitats for many commercial nektonic species; thus, determining trophic linkages between tidal marshes and aquatic consumers is important for sustaining fishery production in estuarine ecosystems. We examined stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N) in 4 commercial nekton species (Chelon haematocheilus, Synechogobius ommaturus, Lateolabrax maculatus and Exopalaemon carinicaud...

Optimal plant growth is crucial in research experi ments as well as in nursery operations. Two major factors that influence plant growth are soil mix and fertilizer. Use of com mercial soil mixes would be desirable for smaller operations which often lack facilities for mixing and sterilization. Several commercial potting mixes were compared to the UC (Universi ty of California) mix for growing ...

The basic tenet of the target plant concept is that the quality of nursery stock is determined by outplanting performance (survival and growth), rather than characteristics or standards measured at the nursery. This means that there is no all-purpose plant, but that each outplanting project will require different species and stock types. In this paper, we discuss the six basic questions that he...
