DIFFERENTIAL EFFECTS OF ADULT MUSSELS ON THE RETENTION AND FINE-SCALE DISTRIBUTION OF JUVENILE SEED MUSSELS AND BIOFOULING ORGANISMS IN LONG-LINE AQUACULTURE

The majority of juvenile seed mussels are lost in aquaculture production.Understanding the causes of the losses of seed mussels is critical to reducing uncertainties in mussel aquaculture production.One major cause of loss appears to be the secondary settlement behaviour of mussels, which is thought to be a behavioural process by which larger juven

Varicella is a highly contagious disease caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV).While the disease is usually mild, severe complications can occur requiring costly hospitalization.A thorough understanding of the healthcare resource use (HCRU) and costs of varicella is needed to inform health-economic models of preventive strategies.A systematic

Background: There is some evidence that electroencephalography guidance of general anesthesia can decrease postoperative delirium after non-cardiac surgery.There is limited evidence in this regard for cardiac surgery.A suppressed electroencephalogram pattern, occurring with deep anesthesia, is associated with increased incidence of postoperative de

Science courses employ instructional strategies that are based on lecture, drill, and practice to help students memorize collections of facts and procedures of increasing complexity.These strategies emphasize the acquisition of knowledge through the development of logical-mathematical skills employed in problem solving and verbal-linguistic abiliti
