The concept of elasmobranch species using nursery areas was introduced in the early 1900s and has been an accepted aspect of shark biology and behavior for several decades. Despite several descriptions of how shark species use nursery areas and what types of regions nurseries may be found in, no explicit definition of what constitutes a shark nursery area has been presented. Here we evaluate th...

The inclusion of high concentrations of DDGS (30%) in both the nursery and growing-finishing periods may result in negative effects on growth performance and carcass characteristics. Summary The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the efiects of high concentrations of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS; 30%) on growth performance and carcass characteristics ofgilts, duringgrow...

The efficiency of a tree improvement program can be greatly affected by the degree of seed efficiency in the nursery. The gains from tree improvement can be 50% greater from a nursery with 90% seed efficiency than from a nursery with 60% seed efficiency. However, because the nursery and tree improvement are usually operated by different divisions, the goals of the nursery manager may not includ...

General Practitioners catering for Service families need to be aware of the multiple influences on patients consultation. The children who attend frequently are those who have already been ill and those that attend a nursery school. The mother is influential if she has had experience in looking after children, if she has had employment out of the home and if her formal education was poor. The p...

Following a previous work, concerning the energy audit of a nursery school belonging to the public building park of the town of Palermo, some further analyses have been conducted. These mainly refer to the environmental performances of the school that are assessed with regards to different interventions involving the envelope (the glazed part, particularly) and the surrounding spaces. The inter...

During the preschool years assessment is an on-going process, ideally in a nursery school with specially trained staff. In doubtful cases the child may start in a special school and be promoted to an ordinary school. The responsibility for placing a child in an ordinary school is a serious one because failure can be a searing experience for the child. A child who has to be transferred from a no...

Accounting practices differ across geographic and political boundaries, across sectors of the economy within these boundaries, and across types of organizations. Globalization exerts a homogenizing force across the political and jurisdictional boundaries with mixed consequences. The development of markets for various factors of production exerts a similar integrative force across sectors of the...

Let A be an associative algebra with identity and with trace. We study the family of planar algebras on 1-boxes that arise from A in the work of Jones, but with the added assumption that the labels on the 1-boxes come from a discrete hypergroup in the sense of Sunder. This construction equips the algebra P A n with a canonical basis, B A n , which turns out to be a \tabular" basis. We examine s...
