Thermothrix thiopara did not appear to be stressed at high temperature (72 degrees C). Both the actual and theoretical yields were higher than those of analogous mesophilic sulfur bacteria, and the specific growth rate (mu(max)) was more rapid than that of most autotrophs. The specific growth rate (0.58 h), specific maintenance rate (0.11 h), actual molar growth yield at mu(max) (Y(max) = 16 g ...

I propose the purpose our concept of actual causation serves is minimizing various cost in intervention practice. Actual causation has three features: non-redundant sufficiency, continuity and abnormality; these features correspond to the minimization of exploitative cost, exploratory cost and risk cost in intervention practice. Incorporating these three features, a definition of actual causati...

in order to investigation of irrigation management and plant density effects on water productivity of rice, a field experiment was conducted in the rice research institute of iran (rasht) during 2001 and 2002. the study was carried out in a split plot design with four different irrigation regimes as main plots and three plant densities as subplots. in this experiment, oryza2000 model was used t...

this paper discusses the use of box behnken design (bbd) approach to plan the experiments for turning the yield of cvd, thickness and layer number of graphene sheets with an overall objective of optimizing the process to provide higher graphene production volume, fewer layers and thinness structure of graphene. bbd is having the maximum efficiency for an experiment involving four factors such a...

46 (eds M.C.S. Wopereis et al.) wateror nutrient-limited production levels in a given rice environment. Yield-reducing factors induce yield losses by reducing or hampering growth, including abiotic and biotic factors. Biotic factors include weeds, pests and diseases; abiotic factors include salinity, alkalinity and iron toxicity. Attainable yield (Ya) refers to the yield that can be achieved wi...

We propose nonparametric definitions of absolute and comparative naiveté for dynamically inconsistent preferences. These definitions leverage ex-ante choice of menu to identify predictions of future behavior and ex-post choice from menus to identify actual behavior. Naifs prefer the flexibility of a menu to committing to their eventual choices, mistakenly anticipating more virtuous behavior. Mo...
