OBJECTIVE To evaluate effect of various regimens for administration of antimicrobials in feed on growth rate and feed efficiency (feed/gain) of pigs in multisite production systems. DESIGN Controlled trial. ANIMALS 24,099 growing pigs in 3 multisite production systems. PROCEDURE 10 trials involving various regimens for administration of antimicrobials in feed were evaluated. Trial 1 compa...

Preplant fumigation with methyl bromide commonly is used in open-field perennial crop nurseries in California for control of plant-parasitic nematodes, pathogens and weeds. Because this fumigant is being phased out, alternatives are needed to ensure the productivity of the perennial crop nursery industry as well as the ornamental, orchard and vineyard production systems that depend on clean pla...

During a 2009 nationwide outbreak of sorbitolfermenting Escherichia coli O157 in Norway, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health was notified of diarrhoea outbreaks in two nurseries. A link to the nationwide outbreak was suspected and investigated, including retrospective cohort studies. Both nurseries had recently visited farms. Faecal specimens were obtained from symptomatic children as well...

SAWYER, RICHARD K. Page Pinning Improves Performance of Generational Garbage Collection. (Under the direction of Dr. Edward F. Gehringer). Garbage collection became widely used with the growing popularity of the Java programming language. For garbage-collected programs, memory latency is an important performance factor. Thus, a reduction in the cache miss rate will boost performance. In most pr...

After a soil fertility baseline had been'determined for the Georgia Forestry Commission's (GFC) Morgan Nursery, a single nursery protocol consistently produced high quality oak seedlings. The fertility baseline developed at the Institute of Tree Root Biology (ITRB) Whitehall Experimental Nursery and adjusted for three GFC nurseries has a background target level at CA, K, P, Mg, Cu. Zn, and B of...

An undescribed needle nematode (Longidorus sp.) was consistently associated with stunted loblolly pine seedlings at the Flint River Nursery in south Georgia. Seedlings in affected areas had root systems that were greatly reduced in size, and lacked lateral and fine roots. In a growth chamber experiment, the needle nematode significantly reduced the size of loblolly pine root systems in containe...

Smalltooth sawfish Pristis pectinata use southwest Florida nurseries during at least their first 2 to 3 yr, and understanding region-specific habitat use patterns is important for effective management. Research occurred in 2 nurseries within the Charlotte Harbor estuarine system: the Caloosahatchee River, a highly human-altered nursery, and a more natural nursery, the Peace River. Between 2010 ...

BACKGROUND In view of the increasing prevalence of food allergies, there has been an associated increase in frequency of situations requiring an emergency response for anaphylaxis at the home, childcare facilities and educational institutions. OBJECTIVE To clarify the situation of adrenaline auto-injector administration in nursery/kindergarten/school, we carried out a questionnaire survey on ...

This paper proposes a hierarchical Bayesian framework for modeling the life cycle of marine exploited fish with a spatial perspective. The application was developed for a nursery-dependent fish species, the common sole (Solea solea), on the Eastern Channel population (Western Europe). The approach combined processes of different natures and various sources of observations within an integrated f...

An investigation was carried out based on the survey of the problems and prospects of fish fry trade in Jessore district in Bangladesh. The survey was conducted on 82 nursery operators and 50 fry traders from different parts of the country. The objective of the study was to know the present status of the trade, identify the problems associated with the business, assessment of aids needed for th...
