Conservation and land management decisions often are based primarily on natural science, but could be more successful if human influences were effectively integrated into decision making. This is especially true for efforts to manage invasive plants, whose arrival is usually the product of deliberate human introduction. Riskassessment models that predict the probability that a nonnative plant w...

In cases where the femur or tibial deformity is not correctly analysed, corrective osteotomies may result in an oblique joint line. The aim of this study was to assess preoperative patients due undergo osteotomy and resulting abnormal femoral morphologies after planned correction using 3D software. CT scans 327 undergoing were retrospectively included. Each patient a software application simula...

Black band disease (BBD) is an infectious bacterial disease caused by the migration of a black mat of microorganisms across the surface of coral colonies, consuming healthy coral tissue and leaving dead skeleton behind. Although a complex community of bacteria composes the infectious bacterial mat, the most abundant organism present in the mat is a large filamentous, non-heterocyst cyanobacteri...

We report here our observations at 35 MHz and 327 MHz made in the direction of the γ–Ray pulsar Geminga. Based on the observed absence of any significant pulsed emission from this source above our detection thresholds at the two frequencies, we obtain useful upper-limits for the average flux to be 75–100 mJy at 35 MHz, and 0.2–0.3 mJy at 327 MHz. We discuss a few possible reasons for the “radio...
