cultivar Paiute, which originated from a single plant introduction (PI-109072) (Alderson and Sharp, 1994), Within the Great Basin, availability of irrigation water throughout very little breeding has been done to develop improved the growing season is the limiting factor in the development of improved pastures. The choice of species and their water requirements cultivars of cool-season perennia...

2058 www.thelancet.com Vol 380 December 15/22/29, 2012 Optimism and momentum has been building around the real possibility that an AIDS-free generation is imminent. Public enthusiasm is fuelled by news about the rapid scale-up of antiretroviral therapy, evidence that HIV treatment can prevent new infections, and expanded cover age of programmes to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Ye...

spp.) showed that forage DM intake was positively correlated with N fertilization rate. Fertilization may also Because native, shortgrass prairies are not typically fertilized and increase forage preference by livestock. Cook and Jeffotherwise extensively managed, little information is available on their response to nitrogen (N) fertilization. An experiment was conducted eries (1963) showed tha...

Imaging is a key research goal for the understanding of biological processes by proteins or nucleic acids inside the living cell. By using classical confocal fluorescence microscopy it is possible to track those biomolecules that are labeled covalently with a suitable fluorophore or fluorescent protein. Fluorescence microscopy as a noninvasive and nondestructive method (if the applied fluoropho...

The authors report a meta-analysis of high-quality studies published from 1990–1998 on the efficacy of manualized psychotherapies for depression, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) that bear on the clinical utility and external validity of empirically supported therapies. The results suggest that a substantial proportion of patients with panic improve and remain improved; th...

PHYSIOLOGISTS GENERALLY ACCEPT the H -K -ATPase as the principal gastric proton pump, and a mechanism of membrane recruitment and recycling of the pump as the primary means for regulating the activity of gastric HCl secretion. One of the major challenges in gastric HCl secretory physiology is the identification and characterization of the K efflux pathway across the apical membrane that must ac...

The American comedian Henny Youngman (1906–1998) once said, ‘When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.’ Ironic, but interestingly as though with a sense of foresight, he did not speak of giving up drinking! It is despite the fact that alcohol is responsible for increased illness, being causally related to more than 60 different medical conditions (Rehm et al., 2003). Around 4%...

Drastic increases in the cost of N fertilizer and increased public scrutiny have encouraged development and implementation of improved N management practices. This study evaluated the relationship between corn (Zea mays L.) grain yield and early season normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) sensor readings using the GreenSeeker sensor. The relationships between grain yield and several pr...

Aims: The aim of this study was to examine recent research studies published from 2000 to 2008 focusing on availability of alcohol: hours and days of sale and density of alcohol outlets. Methods: Systematic review. Results: Forty-four studies on density of alcohol outlets and 15 studies on hours and days of sale were identified through a systematic literature search. The majority of studies rev...

Meadow bromegrass (Bromus riparius Rehm.) has gained interest as a highly productive pasture grass that can be used under management intensive grazing with limited irrigation. In 1999, 28 cloned parents and half-sib families of meadow bromegrass were each planted in a randomized complete block design to evaluate genetic variation of meadow bromegrass for dry matter yield (DMY) (Harvests 1 to 6)...
