The Internet, the fastest growing technology in society, has been driven by the public's hunger for fast, cheap communication. The modern patient increasingly presents to their doctor with an Internet diagnosis and treatment plan, obtained from a website with inaccurate or highly biased information. Doctors have limited access to the Internet in the workplace and often find it difficult to answ...

BACKGROUND The common stinging nettle, Urtica dioica L. sensu lato, is an invertebrate "superhost", its clonal patches maintaining large populations of insects and molluscs. It is extremely widespread in Europe and highly variable, and two ploidy levels (diploid and tetraploid) are known. However, geographical patterns in cytotype variation require further study. NEW INFORMATION We assembled ...

The key abiotic factor found to affect the percentage cover of nettles in this investigation was soil temperature, with a 0.734 Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient between the two variables (showing a significant correlation where P<0.05). This is thought to be due to the fact that an increase in soil temperature will cause an increase in the metabolic activities of the nettle. This include...

Nowadays most plant textiles used for clothing and household are made of cotton and viscose. Before the 19th century however, plant textiles were mainly made from locally available raw materials, in Scandinavia these were: nettle, hemp and flax. It is generally believed that in Viking and early Middle Ages Scandinavia hemp was used only for coarse textiles (i.e. rope and sailcloth). Here we pre...

Recent development of environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis allows us to survey underwater macro-organisms easily and cost effectively; however, there have been no reports on eDNA detection or quantification for jellyfish. Here we present the first report on an eDNA analysis of marine jellyfish using Japanese sea nettle (Chrysaora pacifica) as a model species by combining a tank experiment with spa...

This article notes the growing attractiveness of concepts ‘‘borrowed’’ from chaos theory in organizational studies. Many of these interpretations display sentiments broadly congruent with a ‘‘postmodern’’ approach to organization. Indeed chaos theory itself is presented as part of a similar postmodern shift within natural science. However, these sentiments have been subject to stinging criticis...

Bones, even after their growth has been completed, react to both external and internal factors which include feeding. The process of bone mineralization, including limb bones, is a very important index of the effectiveness and quality of feeding procedures, aswell as a measure of the organism’s health status. Antibiotics, which used to be very popular growth stimulators in feeding, have recentl...

This paper presents occurrence data of Urtica kioviensis Rogow. in Hungary from the 20th century till today, based on a survey six Hungarian public herbaria and literature. Altogether 84 herbarium sheets 9 counties, 83 literature records mentioned 12 57 flora mapping were encountered. Based these, we updated distribution map species Hungary. We found that typical habitats U. include marginal zo...
