Estimating environmental flow requirements downstream of the Chara Chara weir on the Blue Nile River by McCartney, Matthew P., Shiferaw, A., Seleshi, Y.

“…The South African desktop reserve model was used to determine both high and low flow requirements in the reach containing the Falls. The results indicate that to maintain the basic ecological functioning in this reach requires an average annual allocation of 862 Mm3 (i.e. equivalent to 22% of the mean annual flow). …”

Dental caries and developmental defects of enamel in relation to fluoride levels in drinking water in an arid area of Sri Lanka by Ekanayake, L., Hoek, Wim van der

“…Both the caries prevalence and the mean caries experience were significantly higher in children with diffuse opacities than in those without in the group consuming water containing >0.70 mg/l of fluoride. The association between dental caries and the severity of diffuse opacities was also significant only in this group. …”

Identification of the maize gravitropism gene lazy plant1 by a transposon-tagging genome resequencing strategy by Howard, Thomas P., Hayward, Andrew P, Tordillos, Anthony, Fragoso, Christopher A., Moreno, Maria A, Tohme, Joseph M., Kausch, Albert P, Mottinger, John P, Dellaporta, Stephen L.

“…The sequencing library was prepared from genomic DNA by digesting with a restriction enzyme that cuts within a perfectly conserved motif of the Mu terminal inverted repeats (TIR). Paired-end reads containing Mu TIR sequences were computationally identified and chromosomal sequences flanking the transposon were mapped to the maize reference genome. …”
