Waterfowl undergo changes in body condition during migratory and wintering periods that can affect survival reproduction. Understanding how varies among age sex cohorts temporally inform habitat management the post- pre-breeding period. We examined composition molt of three waterfowl species migrating managed moist-soil units east central Texas determined influence season, age, using Analysis V...

background: west azerbaijan is considered as a main region for domestic animal breeding. due to importance of herd as a main host and ticks as a vector of relapsing fever and cchf, a comprehensive study was undertaken in the region. methods: outdoor, indoor collection as well as ticks stick to the animals' body were collected and identified. the study was conducted during the whole seasons in 2...

François Lake is a long, deep, seasonally ice-covered, dimictic lake set in an east-west orientation mid-British Columbia. As baseline we here present data from full-depth temperature mooring deployed at the lake’s mid-point 2004–2005 and one conductivity-temperature-depth cast. We use these records to define stability, scales of motion annual cycle thermal stratification, mixing deep-water ven...

a study was conducted to determine habitat suitability of goitred gazelle (gazella subgutturosa) in kalmand-bahadoran protected area during four seasons of year 2003-2004.the geographic position of dispersal points of gazelle herds was recorded with global position system. the data were transmitted into attributed tables in arc view software and their layers were created. the maps of slope, alt...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether pediatric practices with a system to identify and recall children with high-risk conditions (HRCs) could maintain high influenza vaccination coverage levels among these children during a vaccine shortage year. DESIGN Observational study using data from a computerized billing database and an electronic immunization information system. SETTING Four Denver pediatric...

The community structure of bacterioplankton was studied at different depths (0 to 25 m) of a temperate eutrophic lake (Lake Plusssee in northern Germany) by using comparative 5S rRNA analysis. The relative amounts of taxonomic groups were estimated from 5S rRNA bands separated by high-resolution electrophoresis. Comparison of partial 5S rRNA sequences enabled detection of changes in single taxa...

BACKGROUND From animal studies it is known that currently used pesticides can disturb thyroid function. METHODS In the present study we investigated the thyroid function in 122 Danish greenhouse workers, to evaluate if greenhouse workers classified as highly exposed to pesticides experiences altered thyroid levels compared to greenhouse workers with lower exposure. Serum samples from the gree...

The objective of the current study was to analyze the seasonal effect on differentiating tree species in an urban environment using multi-temporal hyperspectral data, Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data, and a tree species database collected from the field. Two Airborne Imaging Spectrometer for Applications (AISA) hyperspectral images were collected, covering the Summer and Fall seasons. I...
