Abstract P. contorta is a fast-growing, short-lived and fire-adapted two-needled pine species with a very wide ecological amplitude and tolerance. It is an important and valuable timber trees in western North America, with forests dominated by P. contorta covering some 6 million ha in the USA and 20 million ha in Canada (Burns and Honkala, 1990). Because of its rapid growth rate, small taper and thin bark, it produces a higher volume of wood than many of its associates of the same diameter and height. It is a low nutrient-demanding species and easy to regenerate and grow. A common problem of regenerating P. contorta is overstocking which may result in growth stagnation during early stand development on water-deficient, nutrient-poor sites.

PurposeThe purpose of the research was to compare web site designs used by the fastest growing companies in the USA to the largest companies in the USA and to benchmark those designs against best practices as defined by a leading consultant in the industry.Design/methodology/approachThis approach surveyed the web site designs by each group of companies against a set of best practices and developed summary data about the observations.FindingsThe largest companies in the USA used designs that are more consistent with the best practices as defined by a leading consultant in the industry.Research limitations/implicationsThe fastest growing companies did not use best practices in their web site design and still maintained very rapid growth as evidenced by their national rankings. A poorly executed design was less of a detractor to the company's success than anticipated. Web site design may have a role (positive or negative) in the company's growth rate but further research is required to understand the scope and nature of the role.Practical implicationsThe reason why a company maintains a rapid growth rate may be dependent on numerous factors and as such, a comprehensive evaluation of why a company sustains a rapid growth rate should be undertaken. The role of the web site in the company's success should be evaluated in more depth.Originality/valueThis paper has value for web site designers, entrepreneurs, IT management, IT consultants, and large company personnel involved with web site design.

Material for this study was gathered by field parties of the Fisheries Research Board in the summers of 1944, 1945 and 1946. A description of the subspecies is given, based on measurements of 26 specimens. The distribution of Stenodus in Great Slave Lake, and in northern North America is outlined. The rate of growth was determined from an examination of scale samples from 298 fish, and it was found that the inconnu has a rapid growth rate, even in this highly oligotrophic lake. Inconnu spawn mainly in the rivers which enter Great Slave Lake from the Mackenzie Lowlands. The upstream run apparently occupies most of the summer but evidence is presented which indicates a major movement in late August. The post-spawning, downstream run takes place in late September or early October. Residents take advantage of it to put up inconnu for winter dog feed. The food of young inconnu in the spawning streams was found to be mainly invertebrates, whereas in Great Slave Lake the species is almost entirely piscivorous. A list of parasites is given, among which Triaenophorus crassus is considered of major importance. The rate of infestation with the larvae of this worm is high—88 per cent of 49 fish examined, at a rate of 64 cysts per 100 pounds. At present the major use of the inconnu is in the domestic fishery where it serves local trappers, and others, as dog feed.

This is a second overview of the Brazilian conservation unit system for mid-2010. It updates author et al, 2009. It examines six dimensions of federal and state protected areas – age, numbers, types of units, absolute and average sizes, distribution by states and biomes, and degree of compliance with CBD-inspired goals. Major findings: (i) the system maintained a rapid growth rate; (ii) national parks and national forests are the most prominent units; (iii) distribution of units by region and biome remains unbalanced; (iv) state units grew remarkably over the last five years; (v) state units are biased towards sustainable use; (vi) sustainable use units grew more than fully protected units; (vii) Amazonia remains the most extensively protected biome; and (viii) quantitative goals of biome protection are closer to being reached. In 2010 Brazil held the fourth position globally in protected areas; it created the largest number of units between 2000 and 2010; it has the largest combined area of protected tropical formations. However, several regions and biomes remain under protected.

Abstract The objective of this review is to present current status of meagre aquaculture in Croatia. Meagre Argyrosomus regius (Asso, 1801) is a fast growing migratory fish species which used to be widespread along the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Today, it is very rare in fisheries catches and is considered highly endangered. Recently, meagre has become an increasingly important species in the Mediterranean aquaculture. In Croatia, meagre is a relatively new cultured species whose farming started after the year 2000. Since the European Commission identified species diversification as a top priority in the framework of the 2020 strategies for Aquaculture, and with recent studies revealing that meagre adapt easily to captivity and maintain a rapid growth rate, this species became an interesting candidate for Croatian as well as Mediterranean aquaculture.

Abstract Human urinary erythropoietin has been highly purified by a combination of conventional purification methods and immunoadsorbent columns packed with hybridoma-produced antibodies against contaminants that seemed difficult to separate from erythropoietin by the usual means. By using the partially purified erythropoietin as an antigen, three hybridoma clones have been obtained that secrete monoclonal antibodies against erythropoietin. One of the clones has been quite stable, with a rapid growth rate and high production of antibody. Western blotting technique with monoclonal antibodies revealed occurrence of two species of erythropoietin. The monoclonal antibody will be useful as a probe for the purification of erythropoietin and for further studies of the hormone and its mechanism of action.
