• A survey of 100 newborn infants in 2 newborn nurseries in Honolulu and 36 newborns in a hospital in the New Hebrides failed to reveal rotavirus infection, despite its presence in the surrounding community. Rotavirus infection in the neonatal period appears to be endemic in some nurseries in England and Australia, but absent from others in England, Australia, the U.S., and the New Hebrides. Th...

Clustered epidemics of pustulosis due to Staphylococcus aureus occurred in two geographically distant newborn nurseries. In nurseries A and B an attack rate of pustulosis of 0.8 and 2.0 cases per 100 live births occurred, respectively. Experimental phage type 1046/1116 belonging to phage group II dominated clustered epidemics in nursery A, while group II phage type 3A/3C/55/71 and 3A/3C/55 occu...

Surveys of blueberry [rabbiteye ( Vaccinium virgatum ) and southern highbush corymbosum interspecific hybrids)] nurseries in the State Georgia, USA, were conducted 2007 2022 to determine prevalence associations among propagation practices, especially related disease management. As indicated by reduction surveyed (7) compared with (18), Georgia nursery industry has consolidated. However, cultura...

Production of nursery crops in the US is accomplished in containerand field-growing conditions, with propagation and seedling-rearing carried out in greenhouses; 11% of the US national farm-product is represented by these crops. Container-grown crops represent 60% of the US market and represent a highly labor-intensive and thus costly segment of ornamental crop production. The USDA, NASA and th...

OBJECTIVE To study the incidence and outcome of systemic infections with methicillin sensitive (MSSA) and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections in Australasian neonatal nurseries. METHODS Prospective longitudinal study of systemic infections (clinical sepsis plus positive cultures of blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid) in 17 Australasian neonatal nurseries. RESULTS The...

In this position paper we outline an architecture of a general-purpose indirect fuzzy-based crop control. Some ways of exploiting previous work on a control system for single-plant hydroponics nurseries are also discussed.
