The Golden Trevally, Gnathanodon speciosus, is a large predatory fish with an extremely broad tropical Indo-Pacific distribution that crosses many biogeographical boundaries. Both published information and freely available imagery suggest small juvenile G. speciosus are often associated whale sharks, Rhincodon typus; association could explain the unusually widespread of suggests novel nursery r...

ABSTRACT Excitation of Rossby wave instability and development a large-scale vortex at the outer dead zone edge protoplanetary discs is one leading theories that explains horseshoe-like brightness distribution in transition discs. Formation such vortices requires relatively sharp viscosity transition. Detailed modelling, however, indicates transitions smooth. In this study, we present 2D global...

Growing fragments of corals in nurseries and outplanting them to supplement declining natural populations have gained significant traction worldwide. In the Caribbean, for example, this approach provides colonies Acropora cervicornis with minimal impacts existing wild colonies. Given impetus scale up production augment limited recovery, managers researchers should consider how design location a...

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is the most widely distributed species in Europe and relevant terms of planted areas harvest yields. Therefore, each year demand for planting stock exceedingly high, large quantities seedlings are produced annually throughout to carry out reforestation afforestation programs. Abundant diverse ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis critical success once field. To improv...

The placoderm fauna of the upper Famennian tetrapod-bearing locality of Strud, Belgium, includes the antiarch Grossilepis rikiki, the arthrodire groenlandaspidid Turrisaspis strudensis and the phyllolepidid Phyllolepis undulata. Based on morphological and morphometric evidence, the placoderm specimens from Strud are predominantly recognised as immature specimens and this locality as representin...

Most fatal cases of Coxsackie group B neonatal myocarditis have been associated with nursery epidemics. Occasional sporadic cases have been reported, mainly from the U.S.A., and a further case with gross cardiomegaly is described.

Bimini Islands (Bahamas, 25°44' N 79°16' W) are characterized by a unique tropical marine environment which provides critical nursery habitats and food resources for many important species of ecological and economical value. Two areas are particularly important in the function and dynamics of the local marine environment: North Sound and South Bimini. Since 1998 the northern part of the island ...

With the increased pressure towards economic efficiency, hospitals and other healthcare institutions need to reengineer their internal organization and processes. This challenges human resources development with increased efficiency of training in general. We have developed a competence management concept for training planning at a big German hospital with a special focus on critically analyzin...
