The feeding habits of the peacock wrasse, Symphodus (Crenilabrus) tinca (Linnaeus, 1758), from the southern coast of Tunisia were investigated with respect to fish size and season. Stomach contents of 1334 specimens, 8.1-23.1 cm total length, were analyzed. Of the total, 1166 were empty (87.4%). This percentage varied over the year, with a maximum during the spawning period (MayJuly) and minimu...

Understanding whether the gradient in children’s health becomes steeper with age is an important first step in uncovering the mechanisms that connect economic and health status, and in recommending sensible interventions to protect children’s health. To that end, this paper examines why two sets of authors, Chen et al. [Socioeconomic status and health: Do gradients differ within childhood and a...

The present study was conducted to detect polymorphism at growth hormone gene in Karan Fries bulls. A 428 bp fragment of growth hormone gene spanning over 4 exon, 4 intron and 5 exon was amplified and digested with AluI restriction enzyme to identify polymorphism at this locus. Karan Fries bulls were found to be polymorphic at this locus. Two genotypes LL and LV were identified in Karan Fries w...

A case-control study of 1625 histologically confirmed cases of lung cancer and 3091 controls matched for sex, age, hospital admission, and interviewer was conducted in France between 1976 and 1980. The results presented concern the effects of different occupations on the occurrence of lung cancer among 1334 male cases and 2409 matched controls. Occupations were coded blindly according to the In...

In this study, cotton stalks from Xinjiang Alar were used as raw materials. Preparation of modified straw-based activated carbon by microwave-assisted pyrolysis using H3PO4 activator. The effects different impregnation ratios, microwave power and irradiation time on the yield straw its adsorption performance Ni2+ in simulated wastewater investigated Lagergren’s quasi primary secondary kinetic e...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY The One Thousand Plant Transcriptomes Project (1KP, 1000+ assembled plant transcriptomes) provides an enormous resource for developing microsatellite loci across the plant tree of life. We developed loci from these transcriptomes and tested their utility. METHODS AND RESULTS Using software packages and custom scripts, we identified microsatellite loci in 1KP transcriptome...

UNLABELLED Included in Prokaryotic Growth Temperature database (PGTdb) are a total of 1334 temperature data from 1072 prokaryotic organisms, Bacteria and Archaea: PGTdb integrates microbial growth temperature data from literature survey with their nucleotide/protein sequence and protein structure data from related databases. A direct correlation is observed between the average growth temperatur...
