The origins of the major proteins of boar seminal plasma were identified using starch gel electrophoresis, gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and surgical removal of various accessory sex glands. Seminal vesicular secretion accounted for all the major proteins in seminal plasma which migrated to the cathode. Bulbo-urethral proteins could not be detected electrophoretically or by gel filtration. P...

As a sample of semen contains spermatozoa of various types depending on their normality, stage of maturity and degree of cytolysis, a quantitative study of the structure of the sample must consider the frequency of the different morphological types in a representative sub-sample. The effects of treatments may be determined by comparing different sub-samples. Since the methods that have been des...

In this paper, we study quantum OBDD model, it is a restricted version of read-once quantum branching programs, with respect to “width” complexity. It is known that the maximal gap between deterministic and quantum complexities is exponential. But there are few examples of functions with such a gap. We present a method (called “reordering”), which allows us to transform a Boolean function f int...

Sharding is a fundamental building block of large-scale applications, but most have their own custom, ad-hoc implementations. Our goal is to make sharding as easily reusable as a filesystem or lock manager. Slicer is Google’s general purpose sharding service. It monitors signals such as load hotspots and server health to dynamically shard work over a set of servers. Its goals are to maintain hi...

Arecent study (Dullaart, Kent & Ryle, 1975) showed high serum gonadotrophin levels in infantile mice. Initially, the concentration ofLH and FSH rose steadily, the former reaching a peak concentration around 9 days after birth then falling by 13 days to the range found in pubertal serum. The concentration of FSH, however, continued to rise until 13 days. The rise in endogenous gonadotrophin leve...

Shafer's theory of belief and the Bayesian theory of probability are two alternative and mutually inconsistent approaches toward modelling uncertainty in artificial in­ telligence. To help reduce the conflict between these two approaches, this paper reexammes expected utility theory from which Bayesian probability theory is derived. Expected utility theory req mres the decision maker to ass1gn ...

The mainterlance of large infor~ilat,ion systerlls involves cor~t i~i i~or ts clesigti ruoclifications to designs in response to evolving business corlclitio~is or cllarlging user req~~irerrler~ts. Because of the con~plexity barrier associated with engineering suclt systems, charlges car1 be L E ~ hoc and prone to errors. Based or1 our observations of such a process in the oil iilctustry, we be...

Bioventing has emerged as one of the most cost-effective in situ technologies available to address petroleum light-hydrocarbon spills, one of the most common sources of soil pollution. However, the major drawback associated with this technology is the extended treatment time often required. The present study aimed to illustrate how an intended air-injection bioventing technology can be transfor...
