Does the anaesthetic influence behavioural transmission of the monogenean Gyrodactylus gasterostei Glaser, 1974 off the host?
The aim of this study was to investigate the use of the anaesthetic 2-phenoxyethanol on the transmission factors of gyrodactylid and to ascertain how this may affect in the colonisation of new hosts using the Gyrodactylus gasterostei Glaser, 1974 - Gasterosteus aculeatus L. model which is a simple and successful system to examine aspects of transmission of parasites from live and dead fish. Laboratory experiments include determining the maturity (presence of male copulate organ) and reproductive (presence of daughter) status of transmitting worms, in order to consider the factors that influence parasite option to migrate to a new individual of the same host species. This study demonstrates that parasites with a Male Copulate Organ (MCO) present are more likely to abandon the host and attempt a host transfer. The use of the anaesthetic 2-phenoxyethanol does not affect transmission of gyrodactylids which leave the host to colonise a new host. Finally, the use of other anaesthetic although its relative importance with respect to transmission remains uncertain.Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra); Overseas Research Students Awards Scheme (ORSAS) UK; Consejo Nacional Ciencia y Tecnologia, Mexico CONACyT [171032]info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Grano Restaurant Menus 2020
An Italian mother shephered this brilliant Stoneybatter restaurant into being in the depths of an Irish winter when she flew in with a suitcase of still grass stems for rolling the handmade fileja pasta. Robert Mungo\u27s mother has gone home, but her stamp remains, and Grano has been the best addition to Stoneybatter since L Mulligan Grocer opened its door.https://arrow.tudublin.ie/menus21c/1496/thumbnail.jp
Fluvial dynamics and watermills location in Basilicata (Southern Italy)
Watermills (grain mills, waulk mills, olive mills, sawmills and
threshing machines) operated in the Basilicata Region from the Roman
Period until the early decades of the twentieth century, representing an
important feature of waterways that is today almost totally forgotten. Using
documentary sources, ancient maps and field survey it is possible to
catalogue and identify the location of these ancient hydraulic structures.
Watermills were usually placed far enough away from the river to avoid
inundation during floods, and near natural knickpoints or artificial steps
in the river long profile that were created by mill engineers. Mill construction
often had significant impacts on a rivers morphology, because
it was necessary to divert the river discharge towards the mill wheel, to
drive the grain-grinding mechanism. Watermill typological variations
have been examined in relation to variations in river pattern to assess
the ways in which the hydrographic and hydrological settings of the Basilicata
Region have affected mill siting and operation. Most Basilicata
watermills were built with a horizontal water-wheel and a tower. The
characteristics of the tower and the associated hydraulic structures varied
according to the environmental setting. Finally, mill positions define
also the locations on the river system that have already been used
to exploit hydraulic power and thus could be useful for future use in the
micro-hydroelectric secto

China-US Strategic Competition: Impact on Small and Middle Powers in Europe and Asia
The present introductory chapter shall set the stage for the edited volume by broadly sketching the contours of the intense strategic competition between China and the United States and its potential to reshape Asia–Pacific and the world order. Briefly, this chapter will also allude to the future probable fallouts of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its potential for redrawing geopolitical coordinates and allegiances, for the countries that are in the focus of the present volume

Introduction - The Changed and Changing World of Constitutional Criminal Procedure: The Contribution of the Department of Justice\u27s Office of Legal Policy
The world of constitutional criminal procedure is changing slowly. Repudiating much of the thinking that led to the existing world, the changes are being driven by arguments that share common ground with those expressed in the Office of Legal Policy Reports. The unanswered question is whether tomorrow\u27s changes will mirror the logical ramifications of this new way of thinking. What we cannot know today, as we ponder these Reports, is whether twenty years hence, as a new generation of law students begin to study our endeavors, the mistakes of the 1960s will be little more than cold history. Whatever our society does in the years ahead, the Office of Legal Policy and the University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform have rendered a significant contribution by entering the debate and by showing us that we do have a rather clear choice
