<title>What is the Cobuild Dictionary?</title>

<description><![CDATA[What is the Cobuild Dictionary? Its full title is the Collins Cobuild English Dictionary, and it is a dictionary that defines words in the English language and describes how they are actually used by English speakers. To discover how words are used, the editorial team for the dictionary works with a corpus of English, an electronic database holding more than 300 million words in pieces of text. By collecting texts of written and spoken English from a variety of different sources, the project has preserved the context - the way that each word has been used. The corpus is called the Bank of English and it continues to grow.

<description><![CDATA[Whooping cranes are large attractive birds. The adult is white with dark legs, a long dark bill, and a red crown on top of its head. Black wing tips are visible when the birds are in flight. Fully grown, they are the tallest of all North American birds. They live in marshes, swamps, and other wetlands, eating aquatic creatures such as frogs, as well as insects, seeds, and berries. Many things threaten their survival, including habitat loss, power line collisions, pollution, predators, and disease.

<description><![CDATA[You may think that the transmission of Lyme disease is very simple - you get it from a deer tick bite. That information is essentially true, and if you just want to avoid Lyme disease, that's all you really need to know. What goes on in the woods, however, is interesting, and it helps to explain why Lyme disease is spreading and becoming more common.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Prior to 1999, West Nile fever didn't occur in North America. Now, it returns each year, causing a patchy epidemic with victims across the continent. To understand why this is happening, we have to understand how the virus cycles through birds and mosquitoes in our environment.

<title>Symptoms and Diagnosis of Hookworm Infection</title>
<link>http://EzineArticles.com/236494</link>
<guid>http://EzineArticles.com/236494</guid>
<pubDate>Wed, 05 Jul 2006 05:21:44 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Hookworm disease exists in tropical and subtropical areas of the world where there is sandy soil that contains lots of organic material, and rainfall adequate to keep the soil from drying out too much. Infective larvae are very susceptible to drying and to extremes of temperature; therefore, a person who has not lived in or traveled to such a region is very unlikely to have hookworms. It is important to remember, however, that hookworm infection can be transmitted locally in other areas, during the warmer seasons of the year, if conditions are right.

<description><![CDATA[Hookworm infection, the presence of hookworms in the intestine, is very common in humans, especially in tropical climates. There is a difference, however, between hookworm infection and hookworm disease: a few hookworms generally do not cause any symptoms or illness in a human host, whereas large numbers of the worms cause hookworm disease.

<description><![CDATA[Hookworm is one of most successful human parasites, having been around for many thousands of years and today residing in the intestines of close to a billion human beings. The two main species are Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanum. 

Hookworm would not be so prevalent were it not for several persistent habits of human beings.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It's a simple matter to hang a bird house in a tree, but if you're really interested in having birds move in, you'll need to give some thought to proper nesting box design. Every species of bird has specific nesting requirements: if the nest box you provide doesn't suit the tastes of the local birds, you won't get tenants.

<title>Acanthamoeba sp. Culture and Diagnosis</title>

<description><![CDATA[Acanthamoeba sp. is an amoeba best known for its offensive habit of invading the eyes of contact lens wearers and doing a great deal of damage there (a rare but well documented risk of contact lens wear called acanthamoeba keratitis). The amoeba is also sometimes the cause of a chronic type of meningitis known as graulomatous amoebic encephalitis, or GAE. It is one of the few parasites that is easily cultured in the laboratory. Culture is an important tool for acanthamoeba diagnosis because the amoeba themselves are often very rare in eye specimens, and are therefore easily missed]]></description>

<title>How to Build a Backyard Brush Pile</title>

<guid>http://EzineArticles.com/224746</guid>

<description><![CDATA[A brush pile is a place for birds to hide from predators and take shelter from extreme weather. It will also attract a variety of other wildlife that will hide in it, nest in it, or even eat it. Mound shaped brush piles range in size from about five feet (1.5 meters) in diameter to four or five times that size. The edge of a wood or field is a perfect place to build one.]]></description>

<title>How to Provide Shelter for Birds</title>

<pubDate>Tue, 20 Jun 2006 09:52:07 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[If you want to see lots of birds in your yard, give some thought to whether or not your property includes good bird shelter. Birds need shelter from the elements just as we do: when the weather's cold, hot, snowy, rainy, or windy, they need to find places where they can be comfortable and wait it out. They also need places to hide from predators such as prowling cats, snakes, and birds of prey.

<title>The Piping Plover: Endangered But We Can Save It</title>
<link>http://EzineArticles.com/219972</link>
<guid>http://EzineArticles.com/219972</guid>
<pubDate>Thu, 15 Jun 2006 12:23:11 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[The Piping Plover is one of those little birds that you often see on the beach in the summer - or rather, it is one of the little birds that you don't see. You don't see it for two main reasons. One is that it blends in with the color of the sand so well that your eye does not pick it out. The second reason is that the Piping Plover is endangered.

<title>Acanthamoeba</title>

<description><![CDATA[Acanthamoeba sp. is a genus of amoeba, a microscopic organism composed of a single cell. The first part of the name means "spiny," so acanthamoeba is the spiny amoeba, and if you saw one through the eyepiece of a microscope, you would understand why: as it moves about, it extends long pointy projections like the eye stalks of a snail, so that it looks like it is spiny all over.
