[1] A link is found between the variability of Fram Strait sea ice export and the phase of zonal wave 1 in SLP for the period 1958– 1997. Previous studies have found that the link between ice export through Fram Strait and the NAO is inconsistent over time scales longer than the last two decades. Inconsistent and low correlations are also found between Fram Strait ice export and the AO index. T...

SSUMMARY * A comparison of the respiration of Macaca mulatto restrained with strait jackets or injected intramuscularly with I mg 'kg of phencyclidine hydrochloride revealed that the minute volume of the strait-jacketed animals was about 3 times that of relatively unrestrained animals when measurements were made 10, 20, and 30 minutes after treatment. The values obtained from the drug-treated a...

Intraseasonal variability [ISV] in the Makassar Strait thermocline is examined through the analysis of along-channel flow, regional sea level anomaly and wind fields from January 2004 through November 2006. The dominant variability of 45–90 day in the Makassar Strait along-channel flow is horizontally and vertically coherent and exhibits vertical energy propagation. The majority of the Makassar...

Previous sightings of bottlenose dolphins in Tañon Strait, central Philippines, in the late 1980’s to early 1990’s were limited to the southern section of the strait, in waters <500 m deep, and the species was formerly identified as Tursiops truncatus. Photo-identification surveys (n = 117) conducted in 2014 and 2015 in Tañon Strait resulted in 50 encounters of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins ...

Late Quaternary separation of Britain from mainland Europe is considered to be a consequence of spillover of a large proglacial lake in the Southern North Sea basin. Lake spillover is inferred to have caused breaching of a rock ridge at the Dover Strait, although this hypothesis remains untested. Here we show that opening of the Strait involved at least two major episodes of erosion. Sub-bottom...

This article reviews the history of general practice vocational training in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, identifies current initiatives and recommends future approaches based on recent evidence. General practice vocational training in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health requires ongoing support and investment from governments and training and general practice organisat...

Variability in animal migratory behavior is expected to influence fitness, but few empirical examples demonstrating this relationship exist. The initial marine phase in the migration of juvenile salmon smolts has been identified as a potentially critical life history stage to overall population productivity, yet how fine-scale migration routes may influence survival are unknown. Large-scale aco...

OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of HBsAg, anti-HBs and anti-HCV positivity in Istanbul, Turkey. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The frequencies of HBsAg, anti-HBs and anti-HCV positivity were determined in 1,157 randomly selected patients attending the outpatient clinic of Istanbul University Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey, during the years 1998 and 2001. All patients under...

ONCEL, T., G. VURAL: Occurrence of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in sheep in Istanbul, Turkey. Vet. arhiv 76, 547-553, 2006. ABSTRACT This study was carried out in order to determine the occurrence of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in sheep in five districts of Istanbul, Turkey. A total of 181 sera taken from sheep were examined for antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii using an enzyme-linked immunosorb...
