Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin
Zoonotic potential of Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp. and prevalence of intestinal parasites in young dogs from different populations on Prince Edward Island, Canada
No full textThe prevalence of Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp. and other intestinal parasites was determined in dogs <1 year old from Prince Edward Island, Canada. Fecal samples were collected from the local animal shelter (n=62), private veterinary clinics (n=78) and a pet store (n=69). Intestinal parasites isolated included G. duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp., Toxocara canis, Isospora spp. and Uncinaria stenocephala. To estimate the zoonotic risk associated with these infections, genotypes of G. duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp. were determined using 16S rRNA and Hsp70 gene sequencing, respectively. Dogs from the pet store had the highest prevalence of intestinal parasites (78%, 95% CI: 68-88%), followed by the private veterinary clinics (49%, 95% CI: 37-60%), and the local animal shelter (34%, 95% CI: 22-46%). The majority G. duodenalis belonged to host-adapted assemblages D (47%, 95% CI: 31-64%) and C (26%, 95% CI: 13-43%), respectively. Zoonotic assemblages A and B were isolated alone or in mixed infections from 16% (95% CI: 6-31%) of G. duodenalis-positive dogs. All Cryptosporidium spp. were the host-adapted C. canis. While host-adapted, non-zoonotic G. duodenalis genotypes were more common, the presence of G. duodenalis assemblages A and B, T. canis, and U. stenocephala suggests that these dogs may present a zoonotic risk. The zoonotic risk from Cryptosporidium-infected dogs was minimal.Fabienne D. Uehlinger, Spencer J. Greenwood, J. Trenton McClure, Gary Conboy, Ryan O’Handley, Herman W. Barkem

Differential impacts of climate variability on yields of rainfed barley and legumes in semi-arid Mediterranean conditions
No full textClimate change has emerged as a major concern for crop production. This study used a field experiment to examine the differential yield responses of barley, lentil, common vetch, and bitter vetch to weather in the Mediterranean region. Crops were grown in a 10-year rotation trial in Lebanon. Precipitation and temperature were used as explanatory variables in simple linear correlation and standardized multiple-regression analyses. Grain yields were not correlated with annual precipitation. Barley grain yield was correlated positively with precipitation from March to May (r = 0.70) and the rainfall distribution index (r = 0.71), but negatively with mean May temperature (r = -0.62) and absolute minimum temperature in January (r = -0.91). Unlike barley, legume grain yield was not correlated with any rainfall parameters. Common vetch grain yield was negatively correlated with mean May temperature (r = -0.68). Grain yield of the two vetches were also correlated negatively with the absolute minimum temperature in January, but grain yield of lentil was not correlated with any weather variable. Standardized multiple-regression analyses showed that mean May temperature had the strongest influence on grain yield of barley, lentil, and common vetch, indicating that, under climate change, higher temperature may have a more deleterious effect on grain yield than lower rainfall. The negative correlation between common vetch and barley grain yields and temperature in May suggests that early sowing to induce earlier flowering and maturity to escape the hot summer may be an option to increase common vetch and barley grain yields. © 2013 Copyright © 2013 Taylor and Francis.Abd El Monein AM, 1988, J AGR SCI, V111, P295; Adcock D, 2007, AUST J EXP AGR, V47, P1245, DOI 10.1071-EA06250; BLUM A, 1990, AUST J AGR RES, V41, P799, DOI 10.1071-AR9900799; BRING J, 1994, AM STAT, V48, P209, DOI 10.2307-2684719; CECCARELLI S, 1991, EUPHYTICA, V56, P169, DOI 10.1007-BF00042061; CECCARELLI S, 1987, EUPHYTICA, V36, P389, DOI 10.1007-BF00041482; CECCARELLI S, 1994, EUPHYTICA, V77, P205, DOI 10.1007-BF02262633; Chalk PM, 1998, AUST J AGR RES, V49, P303, DOI 10.1071-A97013; Christiansen S, 2011, J AGRON CROP SCI, V197, P146, DOI 10.1111-j.1439-037X.2010.00447.x; Christiansen S, 2000, EXP AGR, V36, P181, DOI 10.1017-S0014479700002015; Christiansen S, 2000, EXP AGR, V36, P195, DOI 10.1017-S0014479700002064; DAY AD, 1975, AGRON J, V67, P430; ERSKINE W, 1993, J AGR SCI, V121, P347; Giorgi F, 2006, GEOPHYS RES LETT, V33, DOI 10.1029-2006GL025734; Giorgi F, 2008, GLOBAL PLANET CHANGE, V63, P90, DOI 10.1016-j.gloplacha.2007.09.005; GUY CL, 1994, PHYSIOLOGY AND DETERMINATION OF CROP YIELD, P417; HADJICHRISTODOULOU A, 1976, J AGR SCI, V87, P489; HADJICHRISTODOULOU A, 1977, EXP AGR, V13, P217, DOI 10.1017-S0014479700007936; HADJICHRISTODOULOU A, 1982, J AGR SCI, V99, P261; ICARDA, 1998, ANN REP 1997 ICARDA; Jones MJ, 2000, J AGR SCI, V135, P223, DOI 10.1017-S0021859699008205; Jones MJ, 1999, J AGRON CROP SCI, V182, P291, DOI 10.1046-j.1439-037x.1999.00297.x; Papastylianou I, 1995, GRASS FORAGE SCI, V50, P456, DOI 10.1111-j.1365-2494.1995.tb02341.x; Papastylianou I., 1999, CHALLENGE PRODUCTION, P11; PASSIOURA JB, 1994, PHYSIOLOGY AND DETERMINATION OF CROP YIELD, P343; Passioura JB, 2010, ADV AGRON, V106, P37, DOI 10.1016-S0065-2113(10)06002-5; PAULSEN GM, 1994, PHYSIOLOGY AND DETERMINATION OF CROP YIELD, P365; Porter JR, 1999, EUR J AGRON, V10, P23, DOI 10.1016-S1161-0301(98)00047-1; PUCKRIDGE DW, 1983, AGR ECOSYST ENVIRON, V9, P229, DOI 10.1016-0167-8809(83)90100-7; Rodriguez D, 2006, AUST J AGR RES, V57, P355, DOI 10.1071-AR04133; Ryan J, 1997, SOILS ICARDAS AGR EX; Ryan J, 2010, J AGR SCI, V148, P205, DOI 10.1017-S0021859609990566; Ryan J, 1998, SOIL TILL RES, V45, P407, DOI 10.1016-S0933-3630(97)00037-8; VANOOSTEROM EJ, 1993, J AGR SCI, V121, P307; WELTZIEN E, 1990, PLANT BREEDING, V104, P58, DOI 10.1111-j.1439-0523.1990.tb00403.x; Wheeler TR, 2000, AGR ECOSYST ENVIRON, V82, P159, DOI 10.1016-S0167-8809(00)00224-3; Yau SK, 2001, COMMUN SOIL SCI PLAN, V32, P379, DOI 10.1081-CSS-100103014; Yau SK, 2003, EUR J AGRON, V19, P599, DOI 10.1016-S1161-0301(03)00006-6; Yau SK, 2003, AGRON J, V95, P821; YAU S K, 1991, Journal of Genetics and Breeding, V45, P71; Yau SK, 2011, AGR WATER MANAGE, V98, P1776, DOI 10.1016-j.agwat.2011.07.0090

Cestode parasitism as a regulator of early life-history survival in an estuarine population of rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax
No full textIn the St. Lawrence middle estuary, the larvae and juveniles of rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax are infected with intestinal parasites (the cestode Proteocephalus tetrastomus). Such parasitism is suspected to impair growth rate, which may in turn influence the ability of smelt to migrate vertically and to be retained in the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM), the nursery area of this population. We hypothesised that parasitism contributes to size-selective mortality by altering patterns of vertical migration, thus contributing to transport losses from the nursery area. Parasitism was found to affect growth rate, as determined by otolith microstructure analysis, and to contribute to mortality. Larvae which survived the parasitic infection were found to be, on average, larger than the uninfected survivors at some point in their early life history prior to infection. Significant size-selective mortality was observed among infected larvae relative to uninfected larvae. There was, however, no significant difference in the vertical distribution of parasitised versus non-parasitised larvae, indicating that size-selective mortality was not due to transport losses from the nursery area. Rather, starvation or predation was most likely responsible for observed mortality patterns. We illustrate that variability in the incidence of parasitic infection among years may form the basis for variability in recruitment and the abundance of the adult smelt population.PT: J; CR: *SAS I, 2000, SAS ONL DOC VERS 8 ANDERSON RM, 1982, PARASITOLOGY, V85, P373 ARME C, 1967, PARASITOLOGY, V57, P301 ASAHIDA T, 1997, J EXP MAR BIOL ECOL, V217, P153 AUBINHORTH N, 2005, EVOL ECOL RES, V7, P1171 BAILEY KM, 1989, ADV MAR BIOL, V25, P1 BALBUENA JA, 2000, J PARASITOL, V86, P1271 BALDWIN NL, 1967, J PARASITOL, V53, P556 BARBER I, 2000, REV FISH BIOL FISHER, V10, P131 BATURO B, 1978, ACTA PARASITOL POL, V25, P307 BEAN CW, 1992, NETH J ZOOL, V42, P416 BERTRAM DF, 1994, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V109, P105 BRODIE ED, 1995, TRENDS ECOL EVOL, V10, P313 BROUDER MJ, 1999, J AQUAT ANIM HEALTH, V11, P302 CAMPANA SE, 1990, CAN J FISH AQUAT SCI, V47, P2219 CHERNICK MR, 1999, BOOTSTRAP METHODS PR COLEMAN FC, 1993, J PARASITOL, V79, P247 COURTOIS R, 1986, CAN J FISH AQUAT SCI, V43, P968 CUSHING DH, 1975, MARINE ECOLOGY FISHE DANGLEJAN BF, 1973, CAN J EARTH SCI, V10, P1380 DAUVIN JC, 1990, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V60, P1 EFRON B, 1993, INTRO BOOTSTRAP FORTIER L, 1983, CAN J FISH AQUAT SCI, V40, P1543 GODIN JGJ, 1988, CAN J ZOOL, V66, P2360 HANZELOVA V, 1989, HELMINTHOLOGIA, V26, P105 HEALEY MC, 1982, CAN J FISH AQUAT SCI, V39, P952 HEATH M, 1991, CONT SHELF RES, V11, P1477 HJORT J, 1914, RAPP P V REUN CONS I, V20, P1 HOLMES JC, 1990, PARASITISM HOST BEHA, P193 KARLSBAKK E, 2001, BULL EUR ASSN FISH P, V21, P63 KENWARD MG, 1987, APPL STAT-J ROY ST C, V36, P296 KRANCK K, 1979, NATL CANCER I MONOGR, V106, P163 LAPRISE R, 1989, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V55, P101 LASKER R, 1978, RAPPORTS PROCES VERB, V173, P212 LECOMTE F, 2004, EVOL ECOL RES, V6, P631 LEMLY AD, 1982, P ANN C SE ASS FISH, V34, P263 LESTER RJG, 1971, CAN J ZOOL, V49, P361 LOBUE CP, 1993, AM NAT, V142, P725 MARCOGLIESE DJ, 1995, REV FISH BIOL FISHER, V5, P336 MEEKAN MG, 1996, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V137, P25 MILINSKI M, 1985, BEHAVIOUR, V93, P203 MILLER TJ, 1988, CAN J FISH AQUAT SCI, V45, P1657 POULIN R, 1989, CAN J ZOOL, V67, P14 RICE JA, 1997, EARLY LIFE HIST RECR, P333 ROSENTHAL H, 1967, MAR BIOL, V1, P10 RUSINEK OT, 1996, J HELMINTHOL, V70, P237 SCHOLZ T, 1999, J HELMINTHOL, V73, P1 SCHOLZ T, 2004, J PARASITOL, V90, P425 SECOR DH, 1992, CAN J FISH AQUAT SCI, V49, P1439 SINCLAIR M, 1988, MARINE POPULATIONS SINDERMANN CJ, 1986, INT J PARASITOL, V17, P371 SIROIS P, 1998, CAN J FISH AQUAT SCI, V55, P2662 SIROIS P, 2000, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V193, P167 SIROIS P, 2000, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V203, P233 SMITH HD, 1970, J PARASITOL 1, V56, P321 SZALAI AJ, 1991, T AM FISH SOC, V120, P739 VINCENT WF, 1999, JPN J LIMNOL, V60, P29 WIESER W, 1991, FUNCT ECOL, V5, P234 WINKLER G, 2003, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V251, P59 WITTING DA, 1995, MAR ECOL-PROG SER, V123, P23; NR: 60; TC: 0; J9: MAR ECOL-PROGR SER; PG: 13; GA: 060YGSource type: Electronic(1
