the aim of the present study was to determine the appropriate standardized ileal digestible lysine requirement to 49 day of olds in male but,6 turkey poults. experiment 1 and 2 were used  from 8-28 and 28-49 d-old respectively. one hundred sixty male but,6 turkeys in each experiment were used in a completely randomized design with eight treatments (8 levels of standardized ileal digestible lysi...

OBJECTIVE Adults with osteoarthritis (OA) experience fatigue in daily life that is negatively related to physical activity; however, it is unclear how task demands affect fatigue and occupational performance. We examined effects of a cognitive task on subsequent symptoms and activity. METHOD Adults with knee or hip OA completed a standardized cognitive task during a lab visit. Objective physi...

This study investigated the neural bases of event-related semantic-memory deficits among people with aphasia due to left-hemisphere (LH) stroke. A novel task using naturalistic photographic stimuli and patient-friendly procedures was used to test event-related semantic knowledge. In the task, participants decided whether depicted events were normal (represented in semantic memory) or were abnor...

drought is a natural hazard that have in arid and semiarid areas more frequency. so the study and identify synoptic patterns affecting this phenomenon seems to be necessary. by using peripheral circulation approach, drought periods during the 30-year (2011-1982) in the six synoptic stations provinces of kerman, yazd and isfahan, which have a long-term cooperative period were calculated with usi...

this work aims to extract the mineralogical constituents of the lahroud hyperion scene situated in the nw of iran. like the other push-broom sensors, hyperion images suffer from spectral distortions, namely the smile effect. the corresponding spectral curvature is defined as an across-track wavelength shift from the nominal central wavelength, and alters the pixel spectra. the common “column me...

This study examined the suicide risk among persons with cancer in ethnic groups with differential suicide mortality in the general population. We calculated the suicide standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) among Europe-America and Asia-North Africa-born Israelis with cancer, relative to the respective rates in the general population. The SIRs were higher in the European-American group [men: 1.9...

this study explored the effect of contrastive phrase resynthesis instruction ongaining the teachability hypothesis stages in self-paced versus time-constrained oralproduction and recognition. three groups (i.e., 23 learners) of high beginner femalelearners in an english language institute were randomly selected from a cohort oflearners. one group received contrastive metalinguistic instruction ...

The increase of publicly available bioactivity data in recent years has fueled and catalyzed research in chemogenomics, data mining, and modeling approaches. As a direct result, over the past few years a multitude of different methods have been reported and evaluated, such as target fishing, nearest neighbor similarity-based methods, and Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR)-based...

Some job tasks do not lend themselves to formal on-the-job assessment because they do not occur with sufficient regularity to permit the standardized measurement required in validational research. The preparation of incident reports by police and security officers is such a job task. The production of accurate, literate incident reports is important because these reports are often required in l...
