Mulloway (Argyrosomus japonicus) in Mosman Bay, Western Australia produce three call categories associated with spawning behavior. The determination of call source levels and their contribution to overall recorded sound pressure levels is a significant step towards estimating numbers of calling fish within the detection range of a hydrophone. The source levels and ambient noise also provide significant information on the impacts anthropogenic activity may have on the detection of A.

Background And Objectives: The prognosis in patients with primary refractory or relapsed high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is very poor--the 5-year survival being generally reported at 10%.

Following the encouraging results in high risk Burkitt's and Burkitt-like lymphoma using the CODOX-M and IVAC protocols, we performed a pilot study using a similar regimen in patients with primary refractory or relapsed high grade NHL.
