Criteria for reintroductions

The Value of Enrichment to Reintroduction Success

Zoo Biology, 2013
AbstractReintroduction attempts have faced low, albeit improving, success rates, especially for threatened and endangered species reintroduced from captivity to the wild. This is not only a concern for conservation, as the low success of reintroduction also implies an animal welfare issue for the individuals concerned.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1992
Four years after the first successful open heart operation in 1953, most cardiac surgeons were using bilateral anterior thoracotomy. This tedious, time-consuming, complication-prone, painful procedure was abandoned only after Julian and associates demonstrated the marked superiority of median sternotomy.

A reintroduction to geometry

Abstract In Chapter 31, we proceed to upgrade our basic mathematical machinery to provide a modern treatment of tensors. Tensors generalize the notion of vectors and 1-forms. Tensors can be manipulated in a large number of ways to produce tensors of different valences.

Reintroduction of the specialists

American Quarterly, 1997
OF THE FRENCH INTELLECTUALS WHO HAVE ARRIVED ON AMERICAN shores to transform the humanities in the last several decades, perhaps no one has received a more partial and limiting reception than Pierre Bourdieu.
