The Portsmouth, Rhode Island Mosquito Control Program used granular Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis to successfully control salt marsh mosquitoes in a 9 acre salt marsh while monitoring for, planning and implementing small scale open marsh water management in the marsh. Single season larviciding costs were roughly 4% that of contracted open marsh water management in this marsh.

During four decades, the Ria de Aveiro was subjected to the loading of mercury from a chlor-alkali industry, resulting in the deposition of several tons of mercury in the sediments. The present study evaluates the impact of this disturbance and the recovery processes, temporally and spatially, by means of examining the richness of the species of salt marsh plants and mercury concentrations in s...

background recent guidelines have proposed that there is a correlation between tissue transglutaminase (ttg) antibody titers and degrees of duodenal biopsy, and that duodenal biopsy can be omitted in some patients with high levels of ttg antibody. using data of registered patients in a gastrointestinal clinic we aimed to assess the correlation between tissue transglutaminase antibody with duode...

Determination of Optimal Density in Poplar (Populus deltoides) Plantations based on the Reineke Method (Case study: Guilan Province)

Allometric equations for estimating timber volume of Populus deltoides in plantation trial of Populus deltoides were developed. Direct measurement of 60 trees in western Nepal was done for this purpose. Six models were tested with simple linear regression analysis technique. The best fit equation for volume was quadratic (0.1500 0.0205DBH + 0.00105*DBH2) with diameter at breast height as an ind...

Olson, Storrs L., and David C. Parris. The Cretaceous Birds of New Jersey. Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology, number 63, 22 pages, 11 figures, 1987.•^This is a revision of the fossil birds from Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian; Hornerstown and Navesink formations) deposits in New Jersey. Material of previously named taxa, described over a century ago, is augmented by more recently collect...

BACKGROUND Celiac disease (CD) is an immunologic enteropathy triggered by the intake of gluten. It is thought that the enteropathy impairs gut function and absorption. OBJECTIVE We assessed the zinc-absorption capacity and small-bowel integrity in children with CD. DESIGN Children in whom a diagnosis of CD was considered clinically and either confirmed (n = 16; Marsh score ≥3) or not (n = 2...
