The approach to assessing Atlantic salmon in Newfoundland is based on patterns of salmon production and habitat that were established for populations in rivers much further south. The physical and biological characteristics of watersheds and rivers in Newfoundland are different from the southern rivers and the bases for conservation decisions are likely inappropriate. Establishing relationships […]

Selon l’expérience de […]

Deep brain stimulation is a treatment method for Parkinson’s Disease, involving implanting an electrode deep into the brain.
