The assemblage structure and vertical distribution of deep-pelagic fishes relative to a mid-ocean ridge system are described from an acoustic and discrete-depth trawling survey conducted as part of the international Census of Marine Life field project MAR-ECO /http://www.mar-eco.noS. The 36-station, zig-zag survey along the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR; Iceland to the Azores) covered the fu...

Commercial brilliant green (BG)-sulfa agar was found to be nonselective toward a test series of Enterobacteriaceae. Various formulations of BG were prepared by using Trypticase soy agar (BBL) as a base. Results were more reproducible when BG dye was added after sterilization than before. Sulfonamides improved selectivity as compared with brilliant green alone. Sulfanilamide (SN) was slightly mo...

Let (QP ) be an integer quadratic program that consists in minimizing a quadratic function subject to linear constraints. In this paper, we present several linearizations of (QP ). Many linearization methods for the quadratic 0-1 programs are known. A natural approach when considering (QP ) is to reformulate it into a quadratic 0-1 program. However, this method, that we denote BBL (Binary Binar...

Good yields of pyocin are obtained when Pseudomonas aeruginosa is grown in Trypticase soy broth (without glucose) (BBL) plus 1% potassium nitrate. As a result, pyocin production for routine epidemiological typing can be done in screw-cap tubes, without mechanical agitation or mitomycin C induction.

We evaluated which chromogenic agar medium for Salmonella detection in stool would be most sensitive and specific in our culture protocol. The use of BBL CHROMagar Salmonella chromogenic medium combined with xylose-lysine-deoxycholate agar yielded a sensitivity of 100% and also reduced workload and costs.

Integrating the knowledge of neurology in teaching has been an idea for learning management design decades. The current study found potential brain-based (BBL) developing high school students’ mathematics achievement. purposes were to investigate effects BBL on grade 11 achievement quadratic functions and examine satisfaction with as main principle activities design. participants 36 s...

Understanding the biology and conducting effective conservation of migratory species requires an understanding of migratory connectivity - the geographic linkages of populations between stages of the annual cycle. Unfortunately, for most species, we are lacking such information. The North American Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL) houses an extensive database of marking, recaptures and recoveries, ...

Turbulent oxygen transport from the overlying stratified water column into the bottom boundary layer (BBL) on the slope of a medium-sized lake was investigated using the eddy correlation (EC) technique. The seicheinduced oscillatory flow of the BBL, with a period of ,1 d, was identified as the mechanism driving turbulent oxygen transport. Sporadic short-term EC vertical oxygen fluxes exceeded t...
