Corymbia calophylla (marri), an endemic keystone tree species in southwest Western Australia, is increasingly impacted by the introduced basidiomycete smut Quambalaria pitereka. The rust Austropuccinia psidii (myrtle rust), invasive pathogen recently to Eastern expected spread of Australia eventually. has similar epidemiology Q. pitereka, and there concern that C. may be susceptible. Preliminar...

This paper aims to contribute the current debates about role of religion in political process, and its importance for creation cohesion different national communities’ identities. It will analyse discussions occurred around concepts, conceptions, Nation, National Community (qaum), Religious (millat), Believers (umma), exploring different, sometimes opposing, ideas doctrines...

Since the recognition of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), several studies have questioned its significance. It is a very common condition, observed in many healthy individuals. Current guidelines mandate that ABU should not be treated in all cases, as it does not seem to improve the outcome. Conditional restrictions for treatment of ABU can be relaxed in certain situations, with minimal exceptio...

Abstract Quambalaria shoot blight (QSB) has emerged recently as a severe disease of Corymbia calophylla (marri). In this study, QSB damage and growth were assessed in trees at 4 6 years age two common gardens consisting 165 170 open-pollinated families representing 18 provenances across the species’ natural distribution. There significant differences between for all traits. The narrow-sense her...

OBJECTIVE To determine the risk factors related to asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) in pregnant women. MATERIAL AND METHOD Three hundred and sixty asymptomatic pregnant women who attended their first antenatal appointment at Rajavithi Hospital from August 1 and October 31 2005 were enrolled. Those with symptoms of urinary tract infection within one month, those who had been prescribed antibioti...

f the mid-1990s through 2001 two of the West’s most implacable terrorist foes, Abu Hafs al-Masri and Abu Khabab, carried on what appears to have been a long-running feud within al-Qaeda, a feud that came to an end only when Abu Hafs al-Masri was killed by the U.S. military. Abu Hafs joined al-Qaeda early on and served as the group’s military commander from 1996 onward. Abu Khabab was a member o...

The unfolded protein response (UPR) counteracts stress caused by unprocessed ER client proteins. A genome-wide survey showed impaired induction of many UPR target genes in xbp-1 mutant Caenorhabditis elegans that are unable to signal in the highly conserved IRE1-dependent UPR pathway. However a family of genes, abu (activated in blocked UPR), was induced to higher levels in ER-stressed xbp-1 mu...

We analysed histological characteristics of gonads and reproductive effort of the small deepliving dragonfishes Akarotaxis nudiceps (Waite) and Bathydraco marri Norman collected in the southwestern Ross Sea. From a macroscopic point of view, most specimens of B. marri were juveniles in early stages of gonad maturity, except for a maturing female. Conversely, the sample of A. nudiceps was compos...

Seventy-three isolates of Phytophthora cinnamomi were collected from diseased Eucalyptus marginata (jarrah) and Corymbia calophylla (marri) trees in two forest communities in the southwest of Western Australia. Both populations of P. cinnamomi were examined for phenotypic and genotypic variation. Microsatellite DNA analysis showed that all isolates were of the same clonal lineage. We show, for ...
