Sustained observations allow for the tracking of change in oceanography and ecosystems, however, these are rare, particularly Southern Hemisphere. To address this part, Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) implemented a network nine National Reference Stations (NRS). The builds on one long-term location, where monthly water sampling has been sustained since 1940s two others that commenced 1950s. In-situ continuously moored sensors an enhanced regime now collect more than 50...
Objectives The aim of this study was to quantify the effect COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric emergency department (ED) utilization and outcomes. Methods This is an interrupted-time-series observational children presenting 11 Canadian tertiary-care EDs. Data were grouped into weeks in 3 periods: prepandemic (January 1, 2018–January 27, 2020), peripandemic 28, 2020–March 10, early (March 11, 2020–April 30, 2020). These periods compared with same time intervals 2 preceding calendar years. Primary...
Objective. To determine predictive factors for the presence of focal infiltrates in children with clinically suspected pneumonia a pediatric emergency department. Methods. Children (1–16 years) were studied prospectively. The presenting features compared between and without using χ2 analysis, t test, odds ratio 95% confidence intervals. A multivariate prediction rule was developed logistic regression. Results. total 570 studied. Risk (odds ratio; interval) included history fever (3.1;...
The objectives of this study were to characterize variations in treatment decisions for young febrile infants pediatric emergency departments across Canada and document the extent practice among department practitioners.This was a prospective, concurrent, cohort consecutive up 90 days age who presented 6 with fever (rectal temperature >or=38.0 degrees C). We recorded information contacted families by telephone confirm final disposition.A total 257 recruited over 2 4 months. Patients similar...
Ovarian torsion in children is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain but mandates early surgical management to prevent further adnexal damage. The clinical presentation mimics other pathologies, such as appendicitis. We sought more completely characterize ovarian with respect and ancillary studies, urinalysis.We performed a retrospective review hospital charts all patients aged 0-18 years diagnosis at the Children's Hospital London Health Sciences Centre, London, Ont., from 1993 2008.We...
Abstract: Theoretical models of marine protected areas (MPAs) that explore benefits to fisheries or biodiversity conservation often assume a dynamic pool fishing effort. For instance, effort is homogenously distributed over from which subsets reserves are chosen. I tested this and other model assumptions with case study the multiple‐use Jervis Bay Marine Park. Prior zoning park conducted 166 surveys park's recreational fisheries, plotting location 16,009 anglers. converted these plots into...
ABA-INSENSITIVE (ABI)4 is a transcription factor implicated in response to ABA maturing seeds, and seedling responses ABA, salt, sugar. Previous studies have shown that ABI4 transcripts are high seeds seedlings exposed concentrations of glucose and, lesser extent, osmotic agents but transcript levels very low through most vegetative growth. This study examined protein accumulation indirectly, using transgenic lines expressing fusions GFP GUS. The were active, undetectable visually or...
The transfer of children from community emergency departments (EDs) to tertiary care pediatric EDs for investigations, interventions, or a second opinion is common. In order improve health system efficiency, we must have better understanding this population and identify areas education capacity building.We conducted retrospective chart review all patients (aged 0-17 years) who were transferred ED November 2013 2014. primary outcome was the frequency referred discharged home ED.Two hundred...
Summary A robust scientific conclusion is the result of a rigorous process. In observational ecology, this process involves making inferences about population from sample. The sample crucial, and implementing survey design . good ensures that data are capable answering research question. Better designs, such as spatially balanced will also be precise possible given constraints budget. Many study areas have previously sampled ‘legacy sites’ already accumulated time series observations. For...
Abstract Overexpression of ABA-INSENSITIVE5 binding proteins (AFPs) results in extreme ABA resistance seeds and failure to acquire desiccation tolerance, at least part through effects on chromatin modification. We tested the hypothesis that AFPs promote germination Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) by also functioning as adapters for E3 ligases ubiquitinate ABI5, leading its degradation. Interactions between two well-characterized classes targeting DWD HYPERSENSITIVE TO (DWA)s KEEP ON...
Abstract Quantification of species’ spatial distributions and population trends is crucial for successful conservation efforts. Obtaining sufficient data, however, often difficult in the marine environment, especially rare fish invertebrate species that are small, cryptic very to detect. This study sought understand effort required search undiscovered populations cryptic, shallow vegetated coastal habitats track numbers, using Critically Endangered red handfish ( Thymichthys politus ) as a...
Hockey is played by youth across Canada, and its popularity has increased dramatically among females in the past decade. Despite this, there been little epidemiological research comparing injury patterns of young female male hockey players. To describe compare injuries sustained players using Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting Prevention Program database. In present cross-sectional, retrospective comparison study, database was used to identify all hockey-related children seven 17.5 years...
Abstract Successful marine management relies on understanding patterns of human use. However, obtaining data can be difficult and expensive given the widespread variable nature activities conducted. Remote camera systems are increasingly used to overcome cost limitations conventional labour‐intensive methods. Still, most face trade‐offs between spatial extent resolution over which obtained, limiting their application. We trialed a novel methodology, CSIRO Ruggedized Autonomous Gigapixel...
The CSIRO, Bureau of Meteorology, University Tasmania, and Antarctic Climate Ecosystems CRC operate the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Southern Ocean Time Series (SOTS) facility with funding from National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS)- a set moorings designed to quantify physical, chemical, biological processes important transfer heat, moisture, momentum, oxygen carbon dioxide between atmosphere ocean. There are 3 mooring platforms at SOTS site near 140°E,...
Summary Obtaining accurate and representative demographic metrics for animal populations is critical to many aspects of wildlife monitoring management. However, at remote colonies, derived from sequential counts or other continuous are often subject logistical, weather disturbance challenges. The development camera technologies has assisted monitoring, but limitations in spatial temporal resolution sample sizes remain. Here, we describe the application a robotic system (Gigapan) which takes...
