Seed Dispersal by Fall Migrant Frugivorous Birds in an East-Central Illinois Woodland (Treefall Gap)
I investigated patterns of seedfall, avian frugivore pre- and post-foraging behavior, and seed germination and seedling success for several species of bird-dispersed plants in an east-central Illinois deciduous woodland. Using seed traps and a combination of natural and artificial fruit displays, I …

Role of airborne soil particulate in transfer of Salmonella spp. to tomato blossoms and consequential fruit contamination
… Montevideo, Newport, Javiana had similar survival patterns in both soil and water. At the end of 40 days, populations of Salmonella in soil dropped by 2.59 log CFU/g and 5.11 log CFU/g when enumerated on Tryptic Soy Agar Yeast Extract (TSAYE) and xylose lysine Tergitol 4 (XLT4) agar …

The role of molecular, clinical and socioeconomic factors in the long-term survival of axillary node negative breast cancer patients
… to investigate factors associated with long-term survival in axillary node negative (ANN) breast cancer patients. Clinical and biological factors included stage, histopathologic grade, p53 mutation, Her-2/neu amplification, estrogen receptor status (ER), progesterone receptor status (PR) and …

Survival of South-African HIV infected patients
… (mean 389/μL) and predicted a 100% two-year survival. Pleural effusions were associated with a mean CD4 count of 184/μL and predicted 65% two-year survival. Patients with atypical radiographic presentation, including lower and mid-zone infiltrates, hilar and mediastinal adenopathy or …

The effect of interval between inseminations and semen handling on in-vivo and in-vitro fertility of frozen-thawed boar sperm
… at 4 h intervals. Litter size and embryo survival was not affected by insemination interval (P > 0.10). Gilts that ovulated by 36 and 48 h after the onset of estrus had greater pregnancy rates (P < 0.001) than those that ovulated by 24 and 60 h after the onset of estrus, but, estrus to …

Predicting how the juvenile life-stages of anadromous Atlantic salmon Salmo salar influence their migration phenology and marine survival.
… striving to understand factors related to salmon survival, as well as other important aspects of their life cycle, such as growth rates and migration phenology, is crucially important. Salmon are an anadromous species that undertake a marine migration from freshwater to oceanic feeding grounds, …
