On sandy beach nursery grounds along the west coast of Ireland, 0 year-group turbot Scophthalmus maximus were found to consume six types of crustaceans, in addition to polychaetes. The 0 year-group brill Scophthalmus rhombus fed almost exclusively on mysids, even though nine taxonomic prey groups were identified in the sediment across the investigated beaches. Both species avoided non-motile or...

While real-time garbage collection is now available in production virtual machines, the lack of generational capability means applications with high allocation rates are subject to reduced throughput and high space overheads. Since frequent allocation is often correlated with a high-level, objectoriented style of programming, this can force builders of real-time systems to compromise on softwar...

In this paper, we report our experience researching with very young children (age 3 to 5 years old) in a series of evaluation study in one local nursery in the UK. A new evaluation tool, named the Fun Semantic Differential Scale (FSDS) has been developed and tested with the nursery children to understand how they respond to it. We report on our experience of using these scales to evaluate the f...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of sorghum-based distillers dried grains with solubles in isocaloric diets for nursery and finishing pigs. Rate and efficiency of gain in nursery pigs were decreased with 45% or more distillers grains. For finishing pigs, efficiency of gain was improved as distillers grains was increased to 60% of the diet, and carcass fatness was increase...

this paper deals with the suitability of agricultural and municipal organic wastes as growing media components for ornamental plants. nine growing media prepared by mixing the main components of peat (p), hazelnut husk (h) and maize straw (m) with the fertilizer sources of municipal solid waste compost (c), bio-solid (b) and poultry manure (pm) were compared against soil-based (c1) and peat-bas...

in the last decade, frequency of late cold incidence has increased in the upland forest nurseries. the aim of present study was to reduce the damage caused by spring frost and to increase the efficiency of persian maple seedlings production in mountain nurseries. this study was conducted as split plot design with two main treatments and three replications in two consecutive years (2009-2010) in...

The risk of introducing the important plant pathogen Phytophthora ramorum outside of its present natural range is of extreme concern; however, the detection of P. ramorum in U.S. nurseries is increasing. The USDA has confirmed the presence of P. ramorum in nurseries in 21 states that received plants from an infested, southern California nursery and others. This nursery produces approximately 15...
