Commercial fishing for demersal fishes and benthic invertebrates, such as mollusks and crabs, is commonly undertaken with bottom-disturbing gear that can inflict damage to seafloor habitats (Dayton et al., 1995; Engel and Kvitek, 1995; Jennings and Kaiser, 1998; Watling and Norse, 1998). Habitat damage from dredges and analogous gear, designed to excavate invertebrates that are partially or com...

Glas and Bahr (1) have proposed a method for the determination of the water content of subcellular particles which can be schematically described as follows: A suspension of particles in 0.44 M sucrose is layered in a centrifuge tube over a silicone oil denser than the sucrose solution but less dense than the particles. The particles are sedimented through the silicone oil by high speed centrif...

us (Dey, 1930 and FitzGerald and Dey, 1931), but the primary lesion, when discovered, is remarkably constant. It seems therefore of interest to record two types, which, whilst they have been previously described, are undoubtedly of great clinical rarity. I. Gumma-like 'primary lesion.?A Lalung woman, aged 20, came to one of our yaws centres, presenting a sore on the ulnar border of the forearm....

By Timothy Michael Sullivan, M.S. Washington State University August 2004 Chair: David F. Bahr The transverse piezoelectric properties of thin piezoelectric films were measured using the rectangular membrane method (RMM) developed at Washington State University. This method was compared with other methods from literature performed at WSU. The measured properties were used to evaluate piezoelect...

INTRODUCTION What constitutes a ‘recordable event’ is arguably the most critical methodological factor affecting the results of sports injury and illness surveillance studies. Although numerous consensus statements have attempted to standardise surveillance methodology, there remains considerable variation in current definitions of in...

Endomyocardial fibrosis is a very rare form of heart disease in temperate climates but is fairly common in tropical and sub-tropical parts of Africa. Since Bedford and Konstam (1946) first described the disease in West African soldiers, many reports have appeared from various parts of Africa: from Uganda (Davies, 1948), the Sudan (O'Brien, 1954), Nigeria (Nwokolo, 1955; Abrahams, 1959, 1962), a...

BACKGROUND Limited data exists on the association of war trauma with comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-depression in the general population of low-income countries. The present study aimed to evaluate socioeconomic and trauma-related risk factors associated with PTSD, depression, and PTSD-depression comorbidity in the population of Greater Bahr el Ghazal States, South Sudan. METHO...

The 2007 review by Visnes and Bahr concluded that athletes with patella tendinopathy should be withdrawn from sport whilst engaging in eccentric exercise (EE) rehabilitation programs. However, deprivation of sport is associated with a number of negative psychological and physiological effects. Withdrawal from sport is therefore a decision that warrants due consideration of the risk/benefit rati...
