Cerebellar pilocytic Astrocytoma is a benign tumor, acounts for 80% of all cerebellar Astrocytoma, and has a relatively good prognosis. This tumor usually presents with Ataxia and in the case of hydrocephaly with raised intracranial pressure signs such as headeach, and vomiting. Treatment of this tumor is complete resection and if hydrocephally is present V.P. shunt should be inserted. In the c...

Due to the major declines of seagrasses worldwide, there is an urgent need for effective restoration methods and strategies. In Dutch Wadden Sea, intertidal seagrass has proven very challenging, despite numerous trials with different methods. Recently, however, first field trial performed a newly developed “dispenser injection seeding” method (DIS) resulted in record-high plant densities seed r...

By means of two stratifications of experimental days of the Whitetop Project-into categories E and W and into categories air mass and frontal-the effects of cloud seeding on precipitation downwind, upwind, and to the sides, up to 180 miles from the seeding line, were investigated. No significant effects were found for W and frontal days. On the other hand, for E and airmass days, significant an...

Seeding has been critical for obtaining diffraction-quality crystals for many structures. In this article, applications and recommendations for seeding are presented based on examples from our laboratory and other groups. The implementation of seeding in high-throughput crystallization, robotics, and other emerging technologies is also discussed.

The motion tracking enhancement technique (MTE) is a recently introduced method to improve the accuracy of tomographic PIV measurements at seeding density higher than currently practiced. The working principle is based on the fact that the particle field and its projections are correlated between the two exposures. Therefore, information from subsequent exposures can be shared within the tomogr...

Several agronomic benefits can result from fall seeding of canola (Brassica spp.), but extensive research data are lacking on the potential impact of this practice on infestations of root maggots (Delia spp.) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae), which are major pests of the crop in western Canada. Field experiments making up 13 location by year combinations were conducted in central Alberta, Canada, from 1...
