Introduction. The etiological factors influencing the haemoglobin level of the community in this country and the effects of minor grades of anaemia are still incompletely known, and the present investigation represents an attempt to obtain data bearing on these subjects among children attending war-time day nurseries. Many of the inferences have, however, a wider application. Clinical material....

Concentration of juveniles of marine fishes in nurseries may act as a bottleneck during the life cycle, where quantity and quality of nurseries determine population size. Macroalgal blooms have become a common phenomenon in eutrophic shallow waters worldwide, and matforming algae may now cover many essential nursery habitats. In this investigation, the aim was to assess the quantitative effect ...

Nurseries are one of the essential agronomic activities in oil palm cultivation. Oil seedlings cultivated on a large scale, different from nurseries for other plantation commodities. The nursery expanse comprises various biotic components, which is Arthropods. This study aims to determine Artropod community and its function nurseries. research was carried out at two nurseries, Nagari Gunung Med...

Sixty rhizosphere soil samples of apple seedlings and rootstock were collected from six nurseries of Khuzdar and Kalat districts of Balochistan. Six different plant nematodes were found associated with the seedlings and rootstock. The most predominant nematode was Xiphinema americanum, whereas the nematode found from a single locality was Tylenchus butteus. A matrix of similarities with respect...

The presence in war-time day nurseries of groups of young children provided an opportunity for investigating anaemia in children under five years of age. There are, however, considerable drawbacks to such investigations in day nurseries. Chief among these are the high rate of cross-infections, the unstable population, and the investigator's ignorance, from lack of contact with the mothers, of t...

a wide range of haemoglobin, extending from 6*8 g/100 ml to 15*6 g/100 ml. The mean Hb was 12-3 g/100 ml, with only minor variations for age, sex, and season. A significant increase in the Hb followed iron administration if the initial Hb was less than 10-5 g/100 ml, but there was no rise in the mean value if the initial level exceeded 12-5 g/100 ml. Taking 10-5 g/100 ml as the level below whic...

During an unusual cold-water event in January 2010, reefs along the Florida Reef Tract suffered extensive coral mortality, especially in shallow reef habitats in close proximity to shore and with connections to coastal bays. The threatened staghorn coral, Acropora cervicornis, is the focus of propagation and restoration activities in Florida and one of the species that exhibited high susceptibi...

Analysis of 12 polymorphic simple sequence repeats identified in the genome sequence of Phytophthora ramorum, causal agent of 'sudden oak death', revealed genotypic diversity to be significantly higher in nurseries (91% of total) than in forests (18% of total). Our analysis identified only two closely related genotypes in US forests, while the genetic structure of populations from European nurs...

A recent shift in the pattern of commercial harvest in the Keppel Island region of the southern inshore Great Barrier Reef raises concern about the depletion of a number of relatively rare restricted range taxa. The shift appears to be driven by demand from the United States (US) for corals for domestic aquaria. Data from the annual status reports from the Queensland Coral Fishery were compared...
