Drainage Ratio as a Strong Predictor of Allochthonous Carbon Budget in Hemiboreal Lakes

Particulate carbon pathways in subalpine Findley Lake, Washington, were examined to assess the dependence of invertebrate consumer production upon allochthonous and autochthonous carbon. Results suggest that allochthonous carbon provides a food base for insect production (6.5 kg C∙ha−1) and autochthonous production of carbon appears to maintain zooplankton production (5.0 kg C∙ha−1). Annual inputs of allochthonous carbon from snow, fluvial, and litterfall sources amounted to 75 kg C∙ha−1. Autochthonous production totaled 51 kg C∙ha−1. Most of the allochthonous inputs were lost through sedimentation (63 kg C∙ha−1) and fluvial output (15 kg C∙ha−1). In contrast, most of the autochthonous carbon losses through grazing and respiration were retained in the water column. Total allochthonous and autochthonous inputs were 126 kg C∙ha−1∙yr−1 and outputs were 114 kg C∙ha−1∙yr−1. A pelagic carbon budget did not balance by 12 kg C∙ha−1∙yr−1, a number well within the propagated variation of 26 and 21% for input and outputs, respectively.

Mean Length Of Utterance

The extent to which the Minnesota Child Development Inventory (MCDI), could be used to estimate levels of language development in 2-year-old children was examined. Fifty-seven children between 23 and 28 months were given the Sequenced Inventory of Communication Development (SICD), and at the same time a parent completed the MCDI. In addition the mean length of utterance (MLU) was obtained for each child from a spontaneous speech sample. The MCDI Expressive Language scale was found to be a strong predictor of both the SICD Expressive scale and MLU. The MCDI Comprehension-Conceptual scale, presumably a receptive language measure, was moderately correlated with the SICD Receptive scale; however, it was also strongly correlated with the expressive measures. These results demonstrated that the Expressive Language scale of the MCDI was a valid predictor of expressive language for 2-year-old children. The MCDI Comprehension-Conceptual scale appeared to assess both receptive and expressive language, thus complicating its interpretation.

Special Meaning

Freedom and life satisfaction are desirable conditions and they both have a special meaning in Eastern Europe — transition was largely about gaining freedom and ultimately overall wellbeing. There are several studies about the effect of freedom on life satisfaction, but none of them focuses on Eastern Europe. I investigate the effect of self-reported freedom on life satisfaction in post-transition Eastern Europe using the World Values Survey. Surprisingly, East Europeans feel less free and less satisfied with their lives than other nationals. But a personal feeling of freedom increases their life satisfaction at a higher rate than in other countries. Freedom is a strong predictor of life satisfaction as compared to national income.

Background: High sensitivity C reactive protein is a protein that occur in acute phase of inflammation. hs-CRP is considered as a predict factor of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk. Framingham risk score is a strong predictor of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk and death. In Viet Nam there was still few studies about hs-CRP and Framingham risk score. Objective: To study the concentration of hs-CRP in peoples in Hue city, also the correlation of hs-CRP and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factor, Framingham risk score. Methods: Clinical data of 1471 people age from 30-74 living in Hue city. We do clinical exam, paraclinical exam. We find out the correlations between hs-CRP and the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factor, the correlations between hs-CRP and Framingham risk score. Results: (i) The concentration of hs-CRP of people in Hue city was 1.54 ± 3.81 mg/l. The concentration of hs-CRP in hyper cholesterol, hyper LDL, hypertension, smoke, obesity and hypo HDL group was significant higher than in the others groups (p<0.05). There was positive significant correlation between the concentration of hs-CRP and systolic blood pressure r=0.061(p< 0.05); (ii) There was positive significant correlation betwee the concentration of hs-CRP and cardiovascular risk (r=0.083; p<0.01) cerebrovascular risk (r=0.068; p<0.05). Conclusions: hs-CRP was a predict risk factor in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular. Key words: hs-CRP, Framingham, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular
