Species form different kinds of patches; these patches form a mosaic and together constitute the community. Recognition of the patch is fundamental to an understanding of structure. Patches are dynamically related to each other. But there are also departures from this inherent tendency to orderliness. At any given time, therefore, structure is the resultant of causes which make for order, and t...

The acoustic reflex in diagnostic audiology: from Metz to present.

In 1946, Metz described what was probably the first practical impedance bridge for measurement of the acoustic reflex. Over the next four decades, diagnostic use of the acoustic reflex progressed in parallel with instrumentation refinements. Today, acoustic reflex threshold and decay testing are a routine component of the diagnostic audiology test battery. Recent advances in the measurement of ...

Malaria transmission and vector biology on Sainte Marie Island, Madagascar.

A 17-mo longitudinal malaria survey (November 1988-March 1990) was carried out on Sainte Marie Island, an area on the east coast of Madagascar which is frequently visited by tourists. During 706 man-nights of capture, 46,401 mosquitoes belonging to 32 species were caught. Sporozoite rates were determined by ELISA and incriminated Anopheles gambiae Giles s.s., An. funestus Giles, and An. mascare...
