Bibliography of secondary sources on the history of dermatology III. Books, monographs, and chapters in English supplemented through 2005.

Providing supplements to the history of dermatology bibliographic record has been a continuous project for the past four decades. When the endeavor was initiated, the original authors decided that only contributions in English and those directly related to dermatology, excluding sexually transmitted diseases as such, would be indexed. There is the perennial question of whether such a manually created bibiliographic project has a need. The obvious answer remains yes. While Index Medicus has expanded the number of journals that are indexed, the number of dermatology publications currently included by Index Medicus is just over fifty. Granted, most of the papers of dermatologic interest are included in these journals, some contributions are to be found in non-indexed publications. In addition, many documents of an historical interest or of a biographical nature are not necessarily selected for indexing in Index Medicus. These installments are the first since 1980 for which the late John Thorne Crissey (1924-2009) has not contributed. His knowledge of the history of dermatology and his intellectual support are greatly missed

Trophic Assessment iof Ten Publicly-Owned Northeastern Ohio Likes

Author Institution: Department of Biology, The University of Akron ; Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating AgencyTrophic assessments of 10 publicly-owned northeastern Ohio lakes including Aquilla, Baldwin, Findley, Hinckley, Hodgson (Muddy), Spencer, Lower Shaker, Upper Shaker, Virginia Kendall, and Wallace indicated that all were highly eutrophic. Criteria for these assessments were based on a Trophic State Index developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that incorporated epilimnetic levels of total phosphorus, dissolved phosphorus, inorganic nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll a and Secchi disk water transparency into a single numerical index of trophic status (TIN). The most eutrophic lakes were Spencer, which had been purposely enriched to increase productivity, and the Shaker Lakes, which were enriched by storm water overflows of sanitary sewers. The least eutrophic lakes were Hodgson, Aquilla, Virginia Kendall, and Wallace reflecting relatively better watershed protection from soil erosion and domestic organic wastes

Wheat quality surveys in Western Australia

SINCE 1956 a number of collaborative wheat quality surveys have been carried out in Western Australia by Co-operative Bulk Handling Co. Ltd. and the Department of Agriculture. The work was undertaken to provide facts which may be used to determine the possible advantages to this State\u27s wheat industry of alterations in the receival and marketing arrangements. The various surveys are described in this article

Simulations of the neutral structure within the dusk side aurora

Observations of neutral winds from rocket release experiments within the premidnight and postmidnight substorm recovery phase aurora, show very large E-region neutral winds of several hundred m/s, where winds measured on the dusk side are even larger than those on the dawn side. These large winds are also associated with strong shears, and there is evidence that some of the regions below these shears may be unstable. The mechanisms which generate this strong vertical structure are not well understood. It is also not known whether the acceleration conditions in the pre and post midnight sectors of the aurora may produce significantly different neutral responses on the dawn and dusk sides. Simulations have been performed using a three-dimensional high resolution limited area thermosphere model to try to understand the neutral structure within the dawn and dusk side aurora. When simulations are performed using auroral forcing alone, for equivalent conditions within the dawn and dusk sectors, differences are found in the simulated response on each side. When measured values of auroral forcing parameters, and background winds and tides consistent with recent observations, are used as model inputs, some of the main features of the zonal and meridional wind observations are reproduced in the simulations, but the magnitude of the peak zonal wind around 140 km tends to be too small and the maximum meridional wind around 130 km is overestimated. The winds above 120 km altitude are found to be sensitive to changes in electric fields and ion densities, as was the case for the dawn side, but the effects of background winds and tides on the magnitudes of the winds above 120 km are found to be relatively small on the dusk side. The structure below 120 km appears to be related mainly to background winds and tides rather than auroral forcing, as was found in earlier studies on the dawn side, although the peak magnitudes of simulated wind variations in the 100 to 120 km altitude range are smaller than those observed. The source of the strong shears measured around 110 km altitude on the dusk side is uncertain, but may be related to different kinds of oscillations, such as gravity waves, non migrating semidiurnal tides, or secondary oscillations produced by non linear interactions between waves

Grain moisture problems on the south coast

In most West Australian grain growing districts high temperatures and dry weather at grain maturation are ideal for harvesting and enable delivery of grain with acceptable moisture levels. Grain from W.A. is known in world markets as a good quality dry product which is unlikely to deteriorate in storage. However, growers in coastal areas and particularly those south of Narrogin sometimes have trouble harvesting grain below the receival limit of 12 per cent moisture

Insignia lowers wheat quality

Farmers in Western Australia have been advised not to plant Insignia wheat because it has poor grain quality. Many farmers want to know why Insignia is considered poor quality and what harm it could do. This article answers these questions and suggests alternative, better quality wheats for all present situations

Phase separation and collapse in Bose-Fermi mixtures with a Feshbach resonance

We consider a mixture of single-component bosonic and fermionic atoms with an interspecies interaction that is varied using a Feshbach resonance. By performing a mean-field analysis of a two-channel model, which describes both narrow and broad Feshbach resonances, we find an unexpectedly rich phase diagram at zero temperature: Bose-condensed and non-Bose-condensed phases form a variety of phase-separated states that are accompanied by both critical and tricritical points. We discuss the implications of our results for the experimentally observed collapse of Bose-Fermi mixtures on the attractive side of the Feshbach resonance, and we make predictions for future experiments on Bose-Fermi mixtures close to a Feshbach resonance.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures.
