A quick, simple and effective chromatographic method for the separation of beryllium from a wide range of elements is described. The elements selected comprise elements which can interfere with the determination of beryllium by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and elements which commonly occur in environmental and industrial sample matrices. Beryllium is separat...

Резюме. Кліщі видів Dermacentor reticulatus і Dermacentor. marginatus є одними із масових у Європі в Україні. Ці види мають дещо схожі ареали, але перший вид частіше зустрічається більш північніше, а інший південніше лісостеповій зоні Євразії. Мета дослідження. Дослідити поширення, біологію живлення та епідеміологічний стан кліщів роду Koch західних, частині центральних північних областей Украї...

Onthophagus fragosus, a new species of Onthophagus, is described from Cienfuegos Province on the island of Cuba. Specimens were collected in leaf litter samples at elevations of 650-935 m. It appears to be most closely related to O. marginatus Castelnau, the only other Cuban endemic Onthophagus species. Images of habitus and of male genitalia are provided. 

Abstract Ontogenetic shifts in food preference reduces intraspecific competition as immature individuals eat different types than adults. This diet plasticity could facilitate species’ ability to successfully invade and establish itself a new environment, even when co-occurring with phylogenetically close species. Here, ontogenetic of non-native piranha species (Serrasalmus marginatus) was test...

Three experiments were conducted with ewes to determine the effects of pregnancy and(or) supplemental protein source on amino acid absorption and digestive criteria. In Exp. 1, four mated and five nonmated ewes fitted with abomasal and ileal cannulas were offered 272 g of cracked corn/d and ad libitum alfalfa hay (22% CP). Mated ewes absorbed greater quantities (P less than .10) and percentages...

Dalopius marginatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Elateridae) is a very common click beetle species developing in forest soils an area from southwest Europe to eastern Siberia. Here, we studied the composition of female-released sex pheromone D. using coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Neryl octanoate, neryl decanoate, and dodecanoate, ratio approximately 1:100:3, were only volatile comp...

We report the results of intravenous anti-D (WinRho, WinRho SD) therapy in 261 non-splenectomized patients treated at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center over the period from 1987 to 1994. Children (n = 124) and adult patients (n = 137) with classic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP; n = 156) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) related thrombocytopenia (n = 105) and acute (n = 75)...

Of 263 patients in Tuscany, Italy, from whom ticks were removed during July 2005-May 2007, five showed signs of tick-borne encephalopathy. Of the ticks, 17 were Dermacentor marginatus; 6 (35.3%) of these were identified by sequence analysis as containing Rickettsia slovaca. Tick-borne lympadenopathy occurs in this area.
