Abstract. The main objective of this work was to report the recovery of seasonal pattern of GPP obtained by eddy covariance measurements in a eucalypt (Eucalyptus globulus Labill.) site in Pegões (Southern Portugal) after a felling processed in October and November of 2006. This was made in a wider context of a general description of the evolution of carbon sequestration at several timescales in the period 2002–2010. In Portugal eucalypt stands aimed mainly for pulp production occupies an area of about 739 515 ha, (National Forest Inv 2005–2006) corresponding to about 23% of total forest area. The site is part of a 300 ha eucalypt stand, located in Herdade da Espirra, intensively managed as coppice under a twelve year productive cycle with a density of about 1100 trees/ha and characterized by a 12-month growing period. A prolonged drought in 2004 and 2005 and a felling in October–November 2006, followed by the start of a new production cycle, changed the carbon sink ability of eucalypt stand. In the two drought years, rainfall was reduced to values of 50%, relatively to long-term 709 mm average of. In the period prior to cutting NEE of 8.7 g cm−2 was maximum in 2002 decreasing to a minimum of 3.6 tons/ha in 2005 at the peak of the effect of drought. After the felling the eucalypt stand recovered its carbon sink capacity in June 2007 with an annual GPP of 1621.6 g cm−2 in 2010. Seasonal patterns of GPP in 2007, 2008 and 2009 were almost opposite to that of the period before the felling, with a tendency to recover to the situation prior the felling in 2010.

Full textAbstract:
Stripe smut, caused by Ustilago striiformis, is a common disease of grasses grown for turf, but quantitative information concerning its occurrence in grass seed production fields is lacking. In 2004, 2005, and 2006, stripe smut was detected in 16, 17, and 3 out of 51, 42, and 33 Dactylis glomerata (orchardgrass) seed production fields surveyed in western Oregon, respectively. Stripe smut was not previously known to occur in these fields. The percentage of plants per transect with stripe smut in 2004, 2005, and 2006 ranged from 0 to 12, 0 to 4, and 0 to 1, respectively. In additional surveys during 2004-2006, to determine whether stripe smut was also occurring in seed production fields of other grasses in western Oregon, stripe smut was found in one field of Agrostis stolonifera, but was not detected in fields of Agrostis castellana, A. capillaries, Festuca arundinacea, F. longifolia, F. ovina, F. rubra subsp. commutata, F. rubra subsp. rubra, or Lolium perenne.

Abstract. In this study, a new parameterization method based on MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) data, AVHRR (Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer) data and in-situ data is constructed and tested for deriving the regional evaporative fraction (EF) over heterogeneous landscape. As a case study, the methodology was applied to the Tibetan Plateau area. Eight images of MODIS data (17 January 2003, 14 April 2003, 23 July 2003 and 16 October 2003; 30 January 2007, 15 April 2007, 1 August 2007 and 25 October 2007) and four images of AVHRR data (17 January 2003, 14 April 2003, 23 July 2003 and 16 October 2003) were used in this study for the comparison among winter, spring, summer and autumn and the annual variation analysis. The derived results were also validated by using the "ground truth" measured in the stations of the Tibetan Observation and Research Platform (TORP) and the CAMP/Tibet (CEOP (Coordinated Enhanced Observing Period) Asia-Australia Monsoon Project (CAMP) on the Tibetan Plateau). The results show that the derived EF in four different seasons over the Tibetan Plateau area is in good accordance with the land surface status. The EF show a wide range due to the strong contrast of surface features over the Tibetan Plateau. Also, the estimated EF is in good agreement with the ground measurements, and their absolute percent difference (APD) is less than 10% in the validation sites. The results from AVHRR were also in agreement with MODIS, with the latter usually displaying a higher level of accuracy. It is therefore concluded that the proposed methodology is successful for the retrieval of EF using the MODIS data, AVHRR data and in-situ data over the Tibetan Plateau area, and the MODIS data is the better one and it should be used widely for the evapotranspiration (ET) research over this region.

Full textAbstract:
Two separate experiments on the North-West Slopes of New South Wales investigated: (1) the effects of differing lengths of pre-sowing weed control (2 years, 1 year, and 3–4 months in the spring immediately before sowing) on the soil seed density of liverseed grass (Urochloa panicoides) from November 2005 to November 2007 and its seedling density at establishment (December 2007), as well as on subsequent herbage mass and plant frequency of this species and Panicum coloratum var. makarikariense cv. Bambatsi (Expt 1); and (2) the effects of cultivar, time of sowing (November 2006, January 2007, and March 2007), and defoliation in the autumn after sowing, on the over-wintering ability of 5 tropical perennial grasses (Expt 2). The cultivars sown in Expt 2 were Bambatsi, Dichanthium aristatum cv. Floren, Chloris gayana cv. Katambora, Digitaria eriantha var. eriantha cv. Premier, and Bothriochloa bladhii var. glabra cv. Swann. At sowing (November 2007), liverseed grass seed and seedling densities in Expt 1 were lowest (P < 0.05) in the 2-year pre-sowing weed control treatment (15 and 13/m2, respectively), and the subsequent herbage mass of Bambatsi (January and October 2008) was highest (P < 0.05) in this treatment. In Expt 2, 59 frosts occurred in 2007, and Floren, Bambatsi, and Swann sown in March of that year over-wintered poorly and had lower (P < 0.05) herbage mass and plant frequency in the following spring compared with the other sowing times. These differences were also evident in autumn and spring 2008, up to 23 months after sowing.

Full textAbstract:
Capsaicin is the main pungent component of chili peppers. Thisis the first case, to our knowledge, that describes prostatespecificantigen (PSA) stabilization in a patient with prostate cancer,who had biochemical failure after radiation therapy. A 66-year-old male underwent radiotherapy treatment for a T2b, Gleason7 (3+4) adenocarcinoma of the prostate, with a PSA level of13.3 ng/mL in April 2001. He had 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapyof 46 Gy in 23 fractions to the prostate and pelvis, and aprostate boost of 30 Gy in 15 fractions. Radiotherapy was completedin May 2001 and PSA nadired in January 2002 (0.57). Dueto the continued PSA rise, the patient was started on bicalutamide(50 mg orally, daily) and leuprolide acetate (1 dose of 22.5 mgintramuscularly) in July 2005 when PSA was 38.5 ng/mL. Due topoor tolerance of androgen ablation therapy, the patient discontinuedtreatment and started taking 2.5 mL of habaneros chilisauce, containing capsaicin, 1 to 2 times a week in April 2006.Prostate-specific antigen doubling time (PSAdt) increased from4 weeks before capsaicin to 7.3 months by October 2006. FromOctober 2006 until November 2007, the patient remained oncapsaicin (2.5 to 15 mL daily) and his PSA was stable (between11 to 14 ng/mL). By January 2008, his PSA rose to 22.3 and hehas maintained a PSAdt between 4 and 5 months, where it presentlyremains. Due to the patient’s continued PSA rise, he was restartedon bicalutamide (12.5 mg daily). Apart from PSA relapse, the patientremains free of signs or symptoms of recurrence.

Pierce's disease (PD) is a vascular disease of grapes vectored by xylem-feeding sharpshooters and leading to vine decline, yield loss, and vine death. Recent warm winters have increased concerns about PD in Virginia. The authors conducted a survey of 31 Virginia vineyards in 21 counties for X. fastidiosa in late fall, 2006. The survey confirms X. fastidiosa in the northernmost vineyards sampled, and in some of the westernmost vineyards in Virginia. It is likely that all vineyards throughout the sampled area are at risk of PD. Accepted for publication 23 May 2007. Published 4 October 2007.

Full textAbstract:
John Edwards was a human geneticist who pioneered the development of clinical genetics in Birmingham. His name is known to all in the field for his discovery in 1960 of trisomy 18, the second trisomic condition to be described in humans after trisomy 21 in Down syndrome in 1959. He was an astute clinician and recognized that if other human chromosome aberrations were to occur, they would be associated with a similar pattern of multiple malformations and handicap. His observation of a nine-week-old child with the provisional diagnosis of Ullich–Turner syndrome suggested this possibility, which was confirmed in samples taken by Edwards at autopsy. His early interest in genetic aspects of disease is evident from his study of Peutz–Jegher syndrome published in 1957. These and similar experiences led him to a varied career in genetics, which at that time seemed to have little place in the practice of medicine. His clinical interests were complemented by his research in population genetics, statistics, genetic linkage, gene mapping and comparative genetics. He was appointed Lecturer in Social Medicine in Birmingham in 1956 and almost all of the next 23 years were spent there as Senior Lecturer, Reader and, from 1967, Professor of Human Genetics. In 1979 he moved to Oxford to become Professor of Genetics in the Biochemistry Department. He retired in 1995 and continued to work on comparative genomics in collaboration with colleagues in Australia and New Zealand. He died in 2007 and is remembered as a kind physician and an outstanding diagnostician. An exceptional scientist, he had a most original mind and a keen wit and was a critical commentator on developments in science.

As early as 1986, the US National Science Board published Undergraduate Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Education, which is regarded as the initiation of STEM education (NSB, 1986). In October 2005, the National Academy of Science, National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Center jointly submitted to the Congress of the United States Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future, a report that put forward relevant recommendations to promote STEM education (Bybee, 2010). In October 2007, the US National Science Board issued A National Action Plan for Addressing the Critical Needs of the US Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education System, proposing to expand STEM education from colleges to primary and secondary schools (NSB, 2007). In 2009, former President of the United States, Barack Obama, emphasized the need for the nation to prioritize the development of STEM education. Since then, the US federal government has heavily invested in STEM education research across all levels, from kindergarten through higher education. Educational communities in other countries have also begun researching and implementing STEM education practices. Numerous studies and extensive practice have demonstrated the potential of STEM education in promoting students’ cognitive development, enhancing their critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity skills, as well as improving their emotional and spiritual well-being.

In recent years the stock market has experienced two steep declines. Between March 23, 2000 and October 9, 2002, the S & P 500 index fell from 1,527.35 to 776.76. After rising to an intraday high of 1,576.09 on October 11, 2007, the S & P 500 index fell to 676.53 on March 9, 2009 (GSPC Historical Prices S&P 500 Stock). Although the stock market has recovered in the years since, the double decline may make investors wonder if the stock market will decline again and what might cause any future decline. Finance theory (Block, 2010) suggests that corporate stock value is affected by investors expectations of economic growth. The theory of global warming (Brown, 2007) suggests that the production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases causes global temperatures to rise and that the remedy would be the reduction of the production of greenhouse gases. If investors were to perceive that action to reduce greenhouse gases would also reduce economic growth, the result could be declines in stock market returns. This paper presents a theoretical discussion of the possibility that stock market declines may arise if investors were to expect that politicians could take drastic action to curb global warming.

Imposex, an endocrine disruption phenomenon, is a biomarker of tributyltin (TBT) exposure in marine gastropod populations. The occurrence and intensity of the syndrome in populations of the neogastropod Stramonita haemastoma were ascertained at nine sampling stations in October 2008 at Arraial do Cabo, a very important tourist resort in Rio de Janeiro state (Brazil) and part of the Marine Extractive Reserve of Arraial do Cabo. The results obtained made it possible to evaluate the changes which had occurred since the last biomonitoring campaign, undertaken in 2001, at these same stations. Despite the ban on the use of TBT imposed by the Brazilian Navy in 2003, the controls on the use of this agent in Brazil resulting from the establishment of NORMAM 23 by the Navy in 2007 and the complete ban of organotin compounds in antifouling paint formulae by the IMO on a global scale in 2008, imposex was still detected. Instead of the expected reduction, an increase was observed in the areas affected by imposex. Furthermore, populations in the areas seriously affected by imposex in 2001 were absent in the 2008 sampling campaign. These results suggest an increase in TBT pollution in the study area, indicating the inefficacy of legislative measures.

On 30 June 2006 at the annual National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, South Africa, two giants of South African protest theatre, John Kani and Winston Ntshona, performed as the original cast of the landmark struggle drama Sizwe Banzi Is Dead (1972). The revival marked the first production of the play in over twenty-five years. After its brief stint at the National Arts Festival (30 June–5 July 2006), the play transferred to the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town (11 July–5 August) and then entertained a monthlong run at the State Theatre in Pretoria (17 August–17 September). After its turn at the State, the production stopped shortly at the Hilton College Theatre in KwaZulu Natal (19–23 September) before settling into an extended engagement at Johannesburg's Market Theatre (28 September to 22 October). In March 2007, the original cast revival of Sizwe traveled to the British National Theatre before finally ending its tour at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in April 2008.

Abstract Abstract 2572 Backgroud: In Japan, bortezomib (Velcade; Janssen Pharmaceutical Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) was approved on October 2006 for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, and sales began on the open market in December 2006. The approval process clarified potential risk for interstitial lung disease (ILD) among bortezomib-treated Japanese patients as we reported before (Blood 2006; 107:3492–4, Lancet Oncol 2008; 9:414–5). By 2007, various safety alerts were widely disseminated through the responsible pharmaceutical company, the media, the academic societies and the regulatory authority of Japan (Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, PMDA) concerning the potential ILD risk of bortezomib (J Clin Oncol 2008; 26:5820–3). In this study, we investigated whether notification of patients and providers about these safety alerts influenced the clinical outcomes after bortezomib therapy in Japan. Methods: We reviewed all bortezomib-related adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports available from open source database of PMDA from December 2006 to December 2009. The indication of bortezomib remained unchanged in this period. We compared the number of reported cases and their outcomes between the early postmarketing period (from December 2006 to December 2007) and the late period after the dissemination of the safety alerts concerning ILD (from January 2008 to December 2009). Results: In the study period, 419 ADR cases were identified after bortezomib therapy. The proportion of ILD to any ADR was 25.0% (9 of the 36 cases) in December 2006, 8.3% (13 of the 156 cases) in 2007, 12.0% (17 of the 142 cases) in 2008 and 7.1% (6 of the 85 cases) in 2009 (Table 1). When we compared the early postmarketing period before the safety alerts and the late period after the safety alerts, the death proportion of the cases with any ADRs seemed similar. Forty of the 192 cases (20.8%) died in the early period and 47 of the 227 cases (20.7%) in the late period. On the other hand, the death proportion among ILD cases appeared to decrease remarkably (Table 2). Nine of the 22 ILD cases (40.9%) died in the early period and 1 of the 23 ILD cases (4.3%) died in the late period (p=0.004, Fisher's exact test). Conclusions: Notification of patients and providers about the safety alerts appeared to influence the clinical practice and to improve proportion of fatal outcomes for bortezomib-treated ILD patients. This study illusrates the importance of communicating drug safety information to the public. Disclosure: Oshima: Sanofi-Aventis: Employment.

Abstract. North Cascade glacier annual balance measured on 10 glaciers from 1984–2006 yielded mean annual balance (ba) of −0.54 m/a, and −12.38 m cumulatively. This is a significant loss for glaciers that average 30–60 m in thickness, 20–40% of their entire volume. Two observed glaciers, Lewis Glacier and Spider Glacier, no longer exist. The ba of North Cascade glaciers is reliably calculated, correlation coefficient 0.91, using 1 April snowpack water equivalent and ablation season temperature. Utilizing ba from 10 glaciers 1984–2006 and net balance (bn) from South Cascade 1960–2005, a set of forecast rules for glacier mass balance were derived utilizing October–April Pacific Decadal Oscillation and Multivariate El Nino Southern Oscillation index values. The forecast rules provide a correct assessment in 41 of the 46 years for South Cascade Glacier and 20 of 23 years for NCGCP glaciers. Glacier annual balance forecasting is an important step for summer water resource management in glacier runoff dominated stream systems. The forecast for North Cascade glaciers in 2007 is for a negative ba.

Abstract In October 2007 the NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown sailed southward within 300 km of the coast of Ecuador and Peru, sampling surface meteorology, air–sea turbulent and radiative fluxes, cloud properties, and upper-air soundings from the equator to 20°S. Two distinct water masses characterize the coastal region: cold-pool water below 19°C in the Southern Hemisphere, and warm-pool water above 20°C to the north, with a transition between the water masses at 2.5°S. Net turbulent and radiative fluxes warm the cool water south of 2.5°S by 100 W m−2 but do not warm the equatorial water significantly. Winds blow parallel to the shore, about 5 m s−1 over the cold pool and 7 m s−1 over the equator. Stratocumulus clouds are remarkably solid over the coastal cold pool, with only brief periods of partial clearing, mostly in the afternoon. Lower aerosol concentrations and thicker clouds observed farther from the coast on 22–23 October are coincident with a pocket of open cells seen to the west and southwest of the ship. Observations from this cruise and other NOAA Stratus cruises (2001 and 2003–07) are suitable for comparison with model simulations and provide context for future field experiments. These datasets are publicly available.

Seasonal selectivity of commercial 40 mm polyethylene codend was tested for picarel (Spicara smaris) in spring (4–18 April 2002), summer (10–25 July 2002), autumn (26 September–2 October 2002), and winter (22–23 January 2003) in the Aegean Sea. Data were collected using the covered codend technique and analysed using the logistic equation with the maximum likelihood method. Four sets of selection curves were analysed and compared using the model developed by Fryer (1991). Highest L50 is in autumn (13.82 cm; s.e. 0.62), when water temperature is highest and the fish are expected to be in their best condition after summer feeding. Lowest L50 is in spring (11.09 cm; s.e. 0.51), when water temperature is lowest and the fish are at their spawning stage. However, there is not sufficient evidence to say that the seasonal variation in the selectivity of 40 mm polyethylene codend for picarel is statistically significant (p > 0.05).

The Antamina Mine is located in the Antamina valley in the Andes Mountains in the Ancash region of north-central Peru, approximately 270 kilometers north of Lima, Peru. Antamina Mine operations began in late 2001, with an estimated mine life of more than 20 years. The deposit is one of the largest copper-zinc ore bodies in the world. Antamina Mine is electrically connected to five 220 kV transmission lines located in regions with isokeraunic levels from 15 to 90 thunderstorm days per year. In the period from 2002 to 2006, 80 nonschedule outages due to lightning which have affected the process productive have been observed in these lines. Antamina has too a 23 kV overhead shielded distribution ring network in which outages due to lightning have been also observed. In the middle of 2003 Antamina started to work in partnership with Tyco Electronics in order to evaluate the lightning performance of the distribution and transmission lines. With basis in these studies from January 2006 till June 2007, approximately 450 units of line arresters were installed along the distribution network and 265 gapless transmission line arresters (TLA) were installed along the sections of the two 220 kV transmission lines with poorer lightning performance. From October 2006 on only one outage due to lightning was recorded in these two lines, proving the effectiveness of this protection system. This paper presents details about the transmission line lightning performance studies and evaluation carried out by Tyco Electronics and Antamina in this partnership project. Methods to select the arresters characteristics and to define the quantity and the optimized arresters location along the lines are presented. Field experience obtained in these two first years and the line performance / reliability of the system after the TLA application in comparison with the performance before the arresters’ installation are presented and discussed

Full textAbstract:
We report the rapid response of Formosat-2 to locate the fire points in the 2007 California wildfire. After examining the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) image taken and released on 23 October 2007, we used the agility of Formosat-2 to take high spatial resolution images of the wildfire front on its next overpass of the newly burned area. By calculating the local spatial statistics of the near-infrared band, fire points with a scale of a few metres can be accurately identified on the 2-m pan-sharpened Formosat-2 image. The present work suggests that the synergistic operation of MODIS and Formosat-2 would enable the rapid locating of fire points during wildfires.

Abstract. In this study, a parameterization method based on MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) data, AVHRR (Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer) data and in situ data is introduced and tested for estimating the regional evaporative fraction Λ over a heterogeneous landscape. As a case study, the algorithm was applied to the Tibetan Plateau (TP) area. Eight MODIS data images (17 January, 14 April, 23 July and 16 October in 2003; 30 January, 15 April, 1 August and 25 October in 2007) and four AVHRR data images (17 January, 14 April, 23 July and 16 October in 2003) were used in this study to compare winter, spring, summer and autumn values and for annual variation analysis. The results were validated using the "ground truth" measured at Tibetan Observation and Research Platform (TORP) and the CAMP/Tibet (CEOP (Coordinated Enhanced Observing Period) Asia-Australia Monsoon Project (CAMP) on the Tibetan Plateau) meteorological stations. The results show that the estimated evaporative fraction Λ in the four different seasons over the TP is in clear accordance with the land surface status. The Λ fractions show a wide range due to the strongly contrasting surface features found on the TP. Also, the estimated Λ values are in good agreement with "ground truth" measurements, and their absolute percentage difference (APD) is less than 10.0% at the validation sites. The AVHRR data were also in agreement with the MODIS data, with the latter usually displaying a higher level of accuracy. It was therefore concluded that the proposed algorithm was successful in retrieving the evaporative fraction Λ using MODIS, AVHRR and in situ data over the TP. MODIS data are the most accurate and should be used widely in evapotranspiration (ET) research in this region.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Using a pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental study in two New Hampshire ICUs, the impact of daylight and window views on patient pain levels, length of stay, staff errors, absenteeism, and vacancy rates were examined. One ICU was operational until 2007, the second opened in 2007. ICU patients were randomly selected from cardiac surgery, pneumonia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease admissions of one or more days, 58 from the old ICU, and 52 from the new. Regular medical staff members assigned to the unit between October 2006 and September 2007 (old unit) and March 2008 and February 2009 (new unit) were included. Results: Variables other than unit design had a more significant impact on relative pain levels in each unit. Comparing light levels independent of ICU assignment supported the hypothesis that increased light levels reduce pain perception and length of stay, but the relationship was not statistically significant. One trend, not statistically significant, suggested that view was associated with reduced pain perception. A decrease in incident filings supported the hypothesis that improved natural light and views reduced errors, but results were not statistically significant. Some subcategories demonstrated significance. Mean absenteeism per person decreased from 38 to 23 hours from the old unit to the new (p = 0.05). Average vacancy rates decreased by 25% (from 10.12% to 7.49% staff openings per year) in the old and new units (p = 0.04). Conclusion: High levels of natural light and window views may positively affect staff absenteeism and staff vacancy. Factors such as medical errors, patient pain, and length of stay require additional research.

Background. On October 17, 2007, a severe weather event collapsed two large tents and several smaller tents causing 23 injuries requiring evacuation to emergency departments in Tulsa, OK.Methods. This paper is a retrospective analysis of the regional health system’s response to this event. Data from the Tulsa Fire Department, The Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA), receiving hospitals and coordinating services were reviewed and analyzed. EMS patient care reports were reviewed and analyzed using triage designators assigned in the field, injury severity scores, and critical mortality.Results. EMT's and paramedics from Tulsa Fire Department and EMSA provided care at the scene under unified incident command. Of the 23 patients transported by EMS, four were hospitalized, one with critical spinal injury and one with critical head injury. One patient is still in ongoing rehabilitation.Discussion. Analysis of the 2007 Tulsa Oktoberfest mass casualty incident revealed rapid police/fire/EMS response despite challenges of operations at dark under severe weather conditions and the need to treat a significant number of injured victims. There were no fatalities. Of the patients transported by EMS, a minority sustained critical injuries, with most sustaining injuries amenable to discharge after emergency department care.

Full textAbstract:
Little is known about fine root decomposition during the freeze–thaw season. To characterize fine root decomposition during this time (from October 2006 to April 2007), a field experiment was conducted to examine the decomposition of fine roots (diameters of 0–1 and 1–2 mm) of Minjiang fir ( Abies faxoniana Rehd. & E.H. Wilson) and Asian white birch ( Betula platyphylla Sukaczev) using buried litterbags in their respective habitats in western Sichuan, China. Over one freeze–thaw season, 14%–20% of mass was lost and 12%–31% of C, 6%–36% of N, 15%–25% of P, and 37%–43% of K were released. These losses accounted for about 40%–55% of mass lost and 23%–54% of C, 23%–89% of N, 25%–42% of P, and 48%–58% of K released within the first year of fine root decomposition. The amount of mass loss and bioelements release during the freeze–thaw season correlated closely with initial substrate quality and bioelement traits. Compared with birch fine root, fir fine root decomposition could be influenced more by decomposition processes during the freeze–thaw season. Results suggest that fine root decomposition during the freeze–thaw season can strongly contribute to ecosystem C and nutrient cycling.

The economic crisis that has engulfed the world since 2007 has become serious by the first quarter of 2009.Many developed countries too are affected severely, namely the US, Germany, the UK and others. Fortunately, India as of now seems to be less affected, yet the winds of global recession are now felt. The Indian economy grew at an annual rate of 7.6% in the quarter ending in September, 2008. As per the projections of the government growth in the fiscal year, 2008-09 could be in the range of 7 to 8 %, which is, lower than 9% in the last year. The government has unveiled a multibillion dollar stimulus on 7th December, 2008 and 2nd January, 2009 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India has cut interest rates aggressively. India Inc has felt the heat of the global meltdown in the third quarter ending in December, 2008 where the income has dropped by a massive 23% points compared to the previous year. Indian manufacturing activity has contracted for the second consecutive month in December, 2008 to its lowest in more than three and half years. India’s exports too have declined by 12.1 % in October, 2008 showing a negative trend for the first time in the last five years.

The efficacy of five application methods and four fungicides were evaluated for control of spring dead spot (SDS) of bermudagrass from 2002 to 2004. Fenarimol and propiconazole were most effective in reducing SDS, providing from 66% to 89% and 51% to 52% control, respectively. Application water volume (2.5, 5, or 10 gal/1000 ft2), post-application irrigation, and high-pressure injection did not affect SDS control. Further research with fenarimol was conducted from 2003 into 2005 to optimize application rate and timing. In both years, all rates (6, 4 + 4, and 6 + 6 fl oz/1000 ft2, with split applications 2 weeks apart) provided equivalent control of SDS when averaged across all application timings. No significant differences were detected among application timings ranging from August 1 to October 1 in 2003 and from August 23 to November 5 in 2004. Accepted for publication 22 May 2006.

Abstract The Balkan Cities Association of Nephrology, Dialysis, Transplantation and Artificial Organs (BANTAO) was established in Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia on October 9, 1993 during the First Congress of the Macedonian Society of Nephrology, Dialysis, Transplantation and Artificial Organs (MSNDTAO). The idea of the founders was that such Society would have a clear impact on several aspects of practice and research in nephrology and artificial organs in the Balkans, firstly, by increasing its international visibility and potential collaborative work, and recognition by international organizations. Secondly, such a society would facilitate the exchange of experience and knowledge between experts in our area. In addition, it would be a very positive symbolic act showing that collaborative work for the betterment of life is possible and desirable in our area and that coming together will bear better fruits at the human and cultural levels. It will also send a very clear signal to the outside world that the Balkans can be a place of collaboration and mutual understanding. Several international bodies such as the International Society of Artificial Organs and the International Faculty of Artificial Organs have signaled their interest in and support for the creation of such a society. Despite the turbulent times in the Balkan Peninsula, the First BANTAO Congress was held in Varna from September 22 to 24, 1995, which was an impressive event. F. Valderrabano, Chairman of the EDTA–ERA registry reported on that event with a lot of sympathy in the paper entitled “Nephrologists of the Balkan countries meet across political frontiers and war fronts – an example to politicians. The foundation of and the Second Congress of BANTAO were also well accepted by the colleagues nephrologists from Russia. The Second Congress was held on September 6-10, 1997 in Struga, the Third BANTAO Congress was held on September 18-20, 1998 in Belgrade, the Fourth Congress of BANTAO was held in Izmir on November 14-16, 1999, the Fifth Congress of BANTAO was held in Thessaloniki on September 30 – October 3, 2001, the 6th BANTAO Congress was held in Varna, on October 6-9, 2003, the 7th BANTAO Congress was held in Ohrid, on September 8-11, 2005, the 8th BANTAO Congress was held in Belgrade, on September 16-19, 2007, the 9th BANTAO Congress was held in Antalya, November 18-22, 2009, the 10th BANTAO Congress was held in Chalkidiki, October 13-15, 2011, the 11th BANTAO Congress was held from 26 to 29 September 2013 in Timisoara on the 20th Anniversary of the foundation of BANTAO, the 12th BANTAO Congress was held on October 15-18, 2015 in Opatija, the 13th BANTAO Congress was held on 4-8 October, 2017 in Sarajevo, the 14th BANTAO Congress was held on September 20-23, 2018, in Budva and the 15th BANTAO Congress was held in Skopje, 26-29 September 2019. Another milestone in the life of BANTAO was the appearance of the BANTAO journal in 2003, which has been published biannually since then. In the past 17 years there have been 33 editions of the journal and seven supplements reporting BANTAO congresses. The editors of the journal past and present are: 2003–2005 (Dimitar Nenov); 2005–2009 (Ali Basci); 2009–(Goce Spasovski). Up to date, more than 400 papers have been published. The BANTAO journal is registered on EBSCO, DOAJ, SCOPUS, and has become a strong ‘glue’ among nephrologists from the Balkan cities. The BANTAO congresses and the BANTAO journal have succeeded in elevating nephrology knowledge and thus increased the standards of nephrology patient care throughout the Balkans. Standing above the divisive forces of politics, language and war, BANTAO gives a living example that collaboration and humility are feasible in times of maddening destruction, and are transformative.

e20728 Background: Neurological symptoms in cancer patients are common and some of them represent a potentially serious situation. They are a frequent cause of complaint at the Emergency Department (ED). The aim of the study is to describe the profile of cancer patient who consult at ED for neurological symptoms, their diagnosis and management. Methods: From October 2007 to October 2008, all cancer patients treated at the ED of our hospital were prospectively collected. The reasons for consultation, diagnosis and clinical management are described. Results: A total of 560 cancer patients were enrolled. Of them, 61 patients (11%) consulted for a neurologic symptom: 50 of these patients (82%) were stage IV disease and 30 (49,2%) were receiving chemotherapy treatment. Of the total of patients, 14 (23%) had lung cancer; 10 patients (16%) had colorectal cancer; and 8 patients (13%) had primary central nervous system tumor. Most frequent causes of complaint were: low level of consciousness, 13 patients (21%); mobility deficit, 12 patients (19%); syncope, 9 patients (15%) and comitial crisis, 6 patients (10%). Of the patients who consulted for a neurological symptom, 52% of cases (32 patients) the cause was a structural lesion of central nervous system. Tumor progression was the diagnosis made in 27 patients (44,3%), in 14 patients (23%) the diagnosis was a metabolic alteration. A 69% of patients (42 patients) required hospitalization, 26% was discharged (16 patients) and 5% (3 patients) needed to be under observation during at least 24 hours. Conclusions: Neurological symptom is a frequent cause of complaint at ED for cancer patients. especially in patients in advanced stages. The most frequent diagnosis made because of these symptoms is tumor progression. Metabolic alterations are also an important diagnosis because of their frequency and because they can be solved by medical treatment. Most patients who consult for neurological symptoms need hospitalization. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract. Formaldehyde (HCHO) columns have been retrieved from ground-based Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) campaign measurements in 2004 and 2007 and from UV-Visible MAX-DOAS measurements in 2004–2005 at the NDACC site of Réunion Island (21° S, 55° E). The FTIR and MAX-DOAS daily mean formaldehyde total columns are intercompared in their common measurement period, from August to October 2004. The ground-based data are also compared to correlative SCIAMACHY data. The comparisons account for the vertical sensitivity differences of the data sets, by including their respective averaging kernels. Complete error budgets are also presented. The FTIR and MAX-DOAS daily mean total columns agree very well: no significant bias is observed and the standard deviation of the comparisons is only 8%. Both FTIR and MAX-DOAS HCHO total columns are in good agreement with SCIAMACHY values in the 2004–2005 period, with standard deviations of 21% and 31%, respectively. The same seasonal cycle is observed by the different instruments, with a minimum in austral winter and a maximum in February–March. The FTIR and MAX-DOAS data are confronted with HCHO columns calculated by a global CTM, the IMAGES model. The model underestimates the HCHO columns by 23–29% in comparison with FTIR, and by 15% in comparison with DOAS. This bias might have multiple causes, including an underestimation of OH concentrations in the model (as indicated by a sensitivity study using prescribed OH fields) and/or an underestimated contribution of large-scale transport of HCHO precursors from Madagascar. The latter hypothesis is comforted by the large observed day-to-day variability of HCHO columns, and by the observation that the peak values of FTIR columns can often be associated with free tropospheric transport patterns from source regions over Madagascar to Réunion Island, according to simulations performed with the Lagrangian particle dispersion model FLEXPART.

Esta contribución analiza los daños medioambientales a partir de la Ley 26/2007, de 23 de octubre, de Responsabilidad Medioambiental en España, y traza similitudes entre ellos y los clásicos, base de la responsabilidad civil clásica de la que se separa la medioambiental. Dichos daños aparecen como una categoría específica al menos porque su régimen de reparación está esencialmente orientado a la restauración del elemento menoscabado, pudiendo el operador reparar con entrega de suma de dinero sólo cuando la Administración pública haya tomado en su lugar las medidas oportunas para la restauración. Esta característica, además del hecho que los daños medioambientales puedan tomar la forma de amenazas o de riesgos, permite distinguirlos de los clásicos.This contribution analyses the environmental damages from the elements of definition provided by Law n.º 6/2007, of October 23, related to environmental liability in Spain and traces similarities between them and the classics which are the base of the classical civil liability from which is separated the environmental liability. So, they appear to be a specific issue given, at least, the regime of their repair, essentially orientated toward the reinstatement of the altered natural resource, being possible for the operator to redress by paying a sum of money only when the public Administration has taken appropriate measures at his place. This characteristic, beside the fact that environmental damages can take the form of threats or risks, enables to distinguish them from conventional ones.

Full textAbstract:
The effect of fungicides on potato yields in separate early blight and late blight trials during the 1996 to 2005 growing seasons at the INTA Balcarce experimental station was determined. Potato cultivars Pampeana INTA were used for early blight trials while Kennebec ones were used for late blight trials. A randomized complete block design with four replications was used in all trials. The fungicides Folicur 25EC at 0.5 liter/ha and Brestan 60WP at 0.5 kg/ha were tested in early blight trials while Dithane M80WP at 2.5 kg/ha and Ridomil Gold 68WP at 1.25 kg/ha were tested in late blight trials. Early blight infections were rated using a 0 to 50 a rating scale. Late blight severity was rated using a disease index of 0 to 5. Potatoes were graded into two categories, marketable (> 60 g) and undersize tuber “seeds” (< 60 g), and then weighed. Data was subjected to analysis of variance. Early and late blight symptoms were present every season. In early blight trials, the efficacy of the systemic fungicide Folicur 25EC was greater than that of the non-systemic Brestan 60WP. The average yield increase due to fungicide treatment during the ten-year period was 22.4% for marketable and 17.9% for total yield. In late blight trials the efficacies of Dithane M80WP and Ridomil Gold 68WP were similar. The average yield increase due to fungicide treatment during the study was 41.23% for marketable and 33.85% for total yield. Accepted for publication 23 October 2006. Published 2 February 2007.

Full textAbstract:
e11530 Background: To assess lymphatic mapping technique and prognosis after sentinel node navigation surgery (SNNS), the Japanese society for SNNS conducted a non-randomized multi-center prospective study on SNNS in early breast cancer. Primary endpoint is to evaluate the success rate and adverse events of SNNS, and secondary endpoint is to observe the outcome of patients who underwent SNNS during 5 years. Methods: We demonstrated the results of primary endpoint at 2007 ASCO annual meeting (#606). Fourteen hundred and sixty-eight cases had pre-registration from 65 investigators at 23 institutions between July 2004 and October 2005. As 46 cases were withdrawn for some reasons and 11 cases were diagnosed as benign disease, 1,411 cases were entered in this study and will be observed until 2010. At this meeting, early recurrence at 3 years follow-up is reported. Results: As of June 2008, 38 of the 1,138 cases (3%) treated with SNNS alone and 16 of the 258 (6%) cases treated with SNNS followed by axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) relapsed. Seven cases died of disease. From the patient background, 50 cases had invasive ductal carcinoma, one had non-invasive ductal carcinoma, and three had special type. Thirty-three cases had negative nodes, 3 had micrometastatic nodes, and 18 had macrometastatic nodes. Fifty-two cases received chemotherapy and/or endocrine therapy. Regional recurrence including axillary, parasternal, and/or supraclavicular nodes was found in 11 cases after SNNS and in 2 cases after SNNS followed by ALND. Conclusions: Annual regional recurrence rate after SNNS was about 0.3%. SNNS in breast cancer is reliable to optimize surgical management in the axilla without increase of regional recurrence.

On its website “The EU Single Market – Fewer barriers, more opportunities”, the European Commission lists the judgments by the European Court of Justice [ECJ] dealing with the free movement of capital under Art 56 EC Treaty (ex 73b). The latest update of this list is the Court's Volkswagen decision of 23 October 2007 (Case C-112/2005), which the Commission had launched against the Federal Republic of Germany on 4 March 2005. This suit, brought under Art. 226 EC Treaty, had been long coming. That the Volkswagen statute, which effectively gave the Federal government and the Land (federal state) of Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) a veto against majority acquisition while only holding a fifth of all shares, would come into the Commission's purview, could hardly surprise, given the Commission's activity with regard to such ‘golden share’ provisions under Portuguese, French, Belgian and English company laws. The most recent decision of the ECJ in the case of Volkswagen is of interest in more than one respect. Not only does it constitute a continuation and further accentuation of a line of argument that the Court has been unfolding over past few years with regard to the Member State provisions in conflict with the EC's guarantee of the free movement of capital as laid down in Art. 56 EC.

Assessment of population size and migration routes of silver eel in the River Rhine based on a 2-year combined mark-recapture and telemetry study. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 64: 1450–1456. More than 3000 female silver eels >50 cm were marked and released in the River Rhine at Cologne in 2004 and 2005, and more than 4000 and 6000 per year, respectively, were checked for marks in the different Rhine branches close to the sea. Migration pathways of downstream-migrating eels were also tracked by telemetry from the point of release (300–350 km from the sea, depending on the migration route) through the three main branches of the Rhine (Waal, Nederrijn + Lek, IJssel + Lake IJsselmeer) to the sea. Downstream migration to the sea took from <2 d to more than a year, but was generally in October and November of the year of release. Most successful migrators seemed to find their way to the sea via the Nieuwe Waterweg rather than via Lake IJsselmeer or Haringvliet. Some 23% of released eels of the 2004 cohort and 15% of the 2005 cohort made it to the sea in less than 2 years. The telemetry data suggest that the Nederrijn + Lek watercourse, the only location where hydropower stations have been built in the lower Rhine system, might be important for downstream migration of eels only in the years with greater discharges, suggesting that management measures should concentrate on the Waal and downstream sections to improve spawning escapement of the silver eel population of the Rhine system.

The gloss endorses the position of the Court of Justice of the European Union presented in the judgment issued in case C-644/20, in which the CJEU recognized – for the purposes of determining the law applicable in a cross-border maintenance case – the habitual residence of the child (pursuant to Article 3 of the Protocol Hague of 23 November 2007 on the Law Applicable to Maintenance Obligations) the country to which the child has been abducted despite a judgment ordering the return of the child under the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. The Court, bearing in mind the best interests of the child, recognized the need to take into account the current environment in which the child currently resides in the context of assessing the real needs of the maintenance creditor. Thus, the CJEU did not adopt the concept contained in Regulation 2201/2003, according to which the jurisdictional connecting factor based on the child’s habitual residence, in principle, cannot be linked to the country to which the child was wrongfully removed or retained.
