Electrostatic Charge on Flying Hummingbirds and Its Potential Role in Pollination.

 · 1970

Electrostatic phenomena are known to enhance both wind- and insect-mediated pollination, but have not yet been described for nectar-feeding vertebrates. Here we demonstrate that wild Anna's Hummingbir…

Care of the HIV-exposed child--to breast feed or not?

 · 1970

Breast milk is the best form of nutrition for infants. However, it places infants born to HIV infected women at risk of acquiring HIV infection. Total avoidance of breastfeeding is the only way of com…
