Northeastern France

A dendroecological study was carried out on 196 sites distributed throughout the whole natural range of silver fir (Abiesalba Miller) in the Vosges mountains of northeastern France. At each site, six dominant trees were bored to the pith. Stand age varied, intentionally, from 40 to 180 years. All tree rings were measured and crossdated; data were then standardized with reference to the mean curve ring width vs. cambial age. The growth indices obtained in this way were studied (setting aside the cambial age) and revealed a great increase in mean vigour from 1830 to 1930–1940 (+70%) and a slight decrease from 1930–1940 to the present (−10%). Using meteorological data from Strasbourg (monthly precipitation and temperature data available from 1881) and a stepwise multiple linear regression, a climatic model was created that explains 79% of the variance. This amount included not only the monthly parameters of years y (year of ring formation) and y − 1 in the model, but also the parameters of years y − 2 toy − 6. Thus, the notion of structural autocorrelation loses much of its credibility in comparison with the notion of climatic aftereffects. The statistical validation of the model distinguishes a calibration period (1881–1960) and a verification period (1961–1983). The model reconstructs the long-term trends satisfactorily, as well as periodic severe growth declines of silver fir in 1917–1923, 1943–1951, and 1976–1983. These phenomena are mainly explained by climatic factors. The possible aggravating role of air pollution is put forward, in particular, the role of the CO2 increases during the last century.

Underlying Disease Process

The purpose of this article is to present a general overview of the features of drug-induced movement disorders (DIMDs) comprised by Parkinsonism and extrapyramidal symptoms. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who work with patients presenting with these issues must have a broad understanding of the underlying disease process. This article will provide a brief introduction to the neuropathophysiology of DIMDs, a discussion of the associated symptomatology, the pharmacology implicated in causing DIMDs, and the medical management approaches currently in use.

General Overview

Asian vegetable crops are rapidly expanding in Florida in the last decade due to their health benefits combined with their high profitability. These crops can help increase vegetable growers’ income and diversify Florida’s crop production, and they are new to most Floridians. This new 5-page article provides a general overview of bok choy for vegetable growers, crop consultants, certified crop advisors, Extension agents, and graduate students.

The Subject

Abstract This paper analyzes canon 3 of the council of Pisa of 1135, with which the trade in persons is prohibited, pointing out that this prohibition must be considered valid also for the sale of inhabitants of Corsica, be they men or women. After having drawn up a general overview of the council, it will focus on the text of the third canon to understand the reasons that led the council fathers to deal with the subject of slavery, firmly defending the Corsican population, considered as a “minority” victim of a political and economic system. As we will try to show, the text of this canon is a unicum of its kind and is fully inserted within the panorama of the Church’s teaching on the subject of slavery, adding a new piece to the mosaic of what was already known about the work of the ecclesiastical institution on this subject.
