Xxxxxxxxxx et al. (2012a) outlined three main types of restocking practices: (i) release of adults after the hunting season to increase the subsequent breeding population, (ii) release of juveniles before the hunting season, to be harvested during the subsequent hunting season, and (iii) release of individuals during the hunting season. In most countries where restocking takes place, regulations or guidance that define best practice are limited or non-existent. Furthermore, current practices differ considerably from one country to another. In France, Mallards mostly come from a handful of breeding facilities that sell day-old ducklings. Such birds are then hand-reared in aviaries in the region of release, which generally occurs at the age of 6–9 weeks, about two months before the start of the hunting season. In order to keep hand-reared Mallard on the hunting estate, the provision of corn, wheat or rice is common practice. Hand-reared Mallard are thus likely to be highly faithful to the place where they were released, at least until the hunting season commences (Xxxxxxxxxx et al. 2009). Swedish game managers have long used Mallard eggs, ducklings, and adults imported from Denmark, which in turn also imports large quantities from abroad, e.g. France (Xxxxxxxxxx et al. 2013). In the Krasnodar and Rostov regions of southern Russia (Azov/Black Sea region) more than 100,000 ducks (thought to be Mallard) have been released annually in recent years by the local hunter associations and these birds are believed to mostly be derived from China where they were harvested as eggs from wild populations (MaMing et al. 2012) and transported to Russia for rearing and release; this practice is feasible due to favourable costs of egg harvesting and transport (Melnikova 2013).
Xxxxxxxxxx et al. Case No. 5:19- CV-06151-SVK, United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
Xxxxxxxxxx et al recently presented a detailed study concerning the capacity of serum from healthy donors with different MBL genotypes to activate C4 by man- nan, using incubation of serum samples at physiologic ionic strength, followed by a second incubation with an MBL-deficient complement source (20). In agreement with our study, this method also revealed that C4 activating capacity was severely hampered in carriers of MBL variant alleles. In the present study we evaluate specific MP activation of the whole complement cascade, up to C5b-9 formation, using autologous complement components and an inhibitor of C1q. Our results indicate that heterozygous and homozygous expression of the B allele is associated with low MBL serum concentrations, low MBL binding to mannan and low MBL complex activity, resulting into hampered activation of C4 and C5b-9 via the MP. These findings raise the question of the primary cause of impaired MBL function in individuals with structural MBL polymorphisms.
Xxxxxxxxxx et al. (2011) noted that the response of chlorophyl-a to changing nitrogen conditions differs between individual coastal areas. The authors suggest several ecosystem features that could potentially account for this, e.g. differences in tidal ranges, secchi-depth, mixing and the fraction of refractory TN. This suggests that ecosystem characteristics can play an important role in the outcome of restoration projects. The same authors also suggested that shifting baseline (as a result of global change), may explain the reported failure to revert eutrophied coastal ecosystems to their previous state following reduction of nutrient inputs. Summary Several major reasons return in many publications on recovery failure or delay: Spatial scale must be large enough (catchment). Temporal scale: there is time needed for recovery. Multistressors present: mostly only one or a few stressor were tackled, others forgotten. Confounding abiotic processes affect recovery, such as upstream ‘hidden’ stressors, internal P loading, and biological interactions, like the early arrival of non-native species, but also climate change effects, effects of management and maintenance. Distance from source populations and lack of connectivity results in dispersal limitations and colonisation barriers. There is no guiding monitoring that makes evaluation along the development and redirection of measures possible.
Xxxxxxxxxx et al demonstrated and confirmed the automation of a miniaturized MSPD technique with subsequent GC-MS analysis for PRA in fruits (Xxxxxxxxxx, et al. 2001). They were able to obtain LODs between 10-50 ng/g and utilized the reversed-phase C8 sorbent (Xxxxxxxxxx, et al. 2001). Of the other available techniques, MSPD is the only one that has been used in the PRA of baby food fatty matrices and used to extract a wide variety of pesticide residues, such as organochlorine, OP, and pyrethroid pesticides. In comparison to the buffered QuEChERS method, MSPD has been shown to give 50% higher recoveries in MRMs with lipophilic pesticides in milk and eggs (Xxxxxxx, et al. 2005c). After the appropriate extraction technique is chosen, most of the resulting extracts need to be cleaned via SPE, dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE), or gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Although rarely used for MRMs due to their strong affinity to polar OP pesticides, Florisil and silica are some of the first sorbents applied and still used during SPE (Hercegova, et al. 2007). Subsequently, researchers began using a variety of types of carbon sorbents, particularly graphitized carbon black (GCB), for the cleanup of pesticide extracts from produce matrices (Xxxxxxx, et al. 2002). This type of SPE sorbent strongly absorbs planar molecules, such as pigments, and isolates them from the sample extract. However, carbon sorbents did not get rid of confounders, such as matrix co- eluants or response augmentation (Hercegova, et al. 2007). Other types of SPE columns applied to MRMs of produce and baby food have been the reverse phase C18 sorbent and chemical bonded stationary phases, such as aminopropyl (- NH2), primary-secondary amine (PSA), and strong anion exchange (-SAX) (Leandro, et al. 2005). Comparing the cleaning efficiency of these columns on acetone and acetonitrile sample extracts from a variety of produce, Xxxxxxx and coworkers determined that -NH2 and PSA normal phase SPE columns were most effective (Xxxxxxx, et al. 2002). Aminopropyl and PSA columns removed hexadecanoic and octadecanoic acids, fatty acids present in many green vegetables, while C18 and SAX did not eliminate the majority of matrix co-eluants in the sample (Xxxxxxx, et al. 2002). Moreover, PSA can also remove sugars and other interferences that are capable of forming hydrogen bonds. Fatty matrices have also been cleaned up using Alumina, Florisil, C18, -NH2, Oasis Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance, and Bond Elut Polychlorin...
Xxxxxxxxxx et al. (2005) found that there was a high prevalence of prejudicial attitudes toward refugees overall in Australia, consistent with previous research and public opinion polls in Australia. However, other research has found support for generally positive attitudes toward refugees and the resettlement program in the U.S. in particular (Xxxxxx & Xxxx 2013). Furthermore, some research has found evidence that the public feels higher levels of anger, fear, threat, and prejudice toward asylum seekers than toward resettled refugees (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx 2015). Not only have there been a very limited number of studies on attitudes toward refugees and resettlement conducted at all, much less in the U.S, but the research in this area has also primarily been conducted before the Xxxxx administration took office. Thus, public opinion toward refugees and asylum seekers is likely changing and more research is needed to determine general attitudes, as well as to differentiate between types of persecution. Gendered claims of asylum With a discussion of past studies on attitudes toward asylum seekers in mind, including their limitations, we will now take a deeper look at the literature on gendered claims of asylum. There is very little empirical research on gendered claims of asylum, in part because gender has not been commonly linked to refugees and migration, nor has enough attention been paid to the unique needs of women as asylum seekers and refugees (Xxxxxxx 2001). But gendered claims of asylum are in fact protected by international law; the UNHCR has recognized that women and girls require special protections in asylum procedures (UNHCR Asylum Lawyers Project 2016). In 1991, the UNHCR published Guidelines on the Protection of Refugee Women, formally detailing these special protections and specifying that women fearing persecution on the basis of gender constitute a social group upon which an asylum claim can be based (UNHCR 1991). In 2002, the UNHCR specified its guidelines on gender-related persecution in alignment with the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees (UNHCR Asylum Lawyers Project 2016). The research that does exist in this area is primarily of a legal nature, analyzing how gendered claims of asylum are received in domestic courts. U.S. case law has established that gender can be among the defining characteristics of a social group (Musalo and Knight 2003) or of political asylum (Xxxxxxx 2001). In 1995, the U.S. established guideli...
