(ESAC-Net). Surveillance data for 2013 are provided through openly accessible online interactive databases [1,2], in summaries supporting the EAAD event [3] and, for EARS-Net, in the annual report on antimicrobial resistance surveillance in Europe [4]. EARS-Net data for 2013 confirmed the high percentages of invasive isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli with resistance to thir...

This paper conducts a theoretical and quantitative analysis of how entrepreneurs choose firm size, capital structure, default, and owner consumption to manage firm risk, including how these choices change with risk aversion. We decompose an entrepreneur’s default decision into three elements: the fraction of firm debt; the potential reduction in personal consumption from losing the firm; and th...

The life history and predation rate were determined for all stages of female and male of Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot fed on the eggs of Tetranychus urticae Koch ˗ as the preferred prey-stage ˗ on rose (cv ‘blarodje’) leaf discs under laboratory conditions at 25±1°C, 75±5% RH, and 16 L: 8 D hour photoperiod. According to the age-stage, two-sex life table model, the intrinsic rate of i...

This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of energy consumption and economic analysis of different watermelon cultivation systems in Fars Province of Iran. Watermelon production systems were classified into five systems, namely, custom tillage (group 1), conservation tillage (group 2), traditional planting (group3), semi mechanized planting (group 4), and mechanized planting (group 5). Data w...

In this study we created a new routing fabric for reducing power and delay. The power consumed in a FPGA core consists of both static and dynamic components. Static power contributes only 10% of the total power consumed in a FPGA. On the other hand, dynamic power contributes over 90% of the total power consumed and it is the main source for their power inefficiency. By reducing net length and/o...

1. Denitrification, net oxygen consumption and net nitrous oxide flux to the atmosphere were measured in three small rivers (discharge approximately 2–27 m s) at the whole reach scale during Spring and Summer, 2002. Two of these rivers (Iroquois River and Sugar Creek in north-west Indiana – north-east Illinois, U.S.A.) drained agricultural catchments and the other (Millstone River in central Ne...

BACKGROUND The net clinical benefit of high-energy nutritional supplements (HENSDs) consumption is lower than expected. OBJECTIVES To investigate the extent to which consumption of oral HENSD in the fasted state reduces energy intake in slim females during consecutive breakfast and lunch, and whether this relates to changes in appetite and metabolic appetite regulators. DESIGN Twenty three ...
