The present study was conducted to investigate the variation in the lipid profile between Egyptian breed Fayoumi and commercial strain ISA-Brown. Forty 32-wk-old ISA-Brown and thirty-five 36-wk-old Fayoumi were housed individually in separated layer cages in opensystem housing. Four weeks later, Body weight was recorded and egg weight, number, and composition were measured. In addition, lipid p...

Department of Natural Resources Science, University of Rhode Island, 1 Greenhouse Road, Kingston, RI 02881 ([email protected]). Abstract In recent years impervious surface areas (ISA) have emerged as a key paradigm to explain and predict ecosystem health in relationship to watershed development. The ISA data are essential for environmental monitoring and management in coastal State of Rho...

One design concept for the long-term management of the UK's intermediate level radioactive wastes (ILW) is disposal to a cementitious geological disposal facility (GDF). Under the alkaline (10.013.0) anoxic conditions expected within a GDF, cellulosic wastes will undergo chemical hydrolysis. The resulting cellulose degradation products (CDP) are dominated by α- and β-isosaccharinic acids (I...

Multiple endmember spectral mixture analysis (MESMA) has been widely applied for estimating fractional land covers from remote sensing imagery. MESMA has proven effective in addressing inter-class and intra-class endmember variability by allowing pixel-specific endmember combinations. This method, however, assumes that each land cover type has an equal probability of being included in the model...

Impervious surface area (ISA), one of the consequences of urban development, has been used as an important indicator for environmental impacts of urbanization. In this study, we extracted ISA information for the state of Rhode Island, USA from 1-m spatial resolution true-color digital orthophotography data by an object-based classification. As the importance of ISA in the watersheds hydrology, ...

The implementation of Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) has the potential to significantly reduce the incidence and severity of road trauma in Australia and overseas. Over the last few years there has been a growing interest in ISA, which is reflected in the growing number of ISA research and demonstration trials taking place all over the world. European countries such as Sweden, the Netherlan...

BACKGROUND The evaluation of geographical healthcare accessibility in residential areas provides crucial information to public policy. Traditional methods - such as Physician Population Ratios (PPR) or shortest travel time - offer only a one-dimensional view of accessibility. This paper developed an improved indicator: the Index of Spatial Accessibility (ISA) to measure geographical healthcare ...

Drawing on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this research investigates two factors that drive an employee to comply with requirements of the information security policy (ISP) of her organization with regards to protecting information and technology resources: an employee’s information security awareness (ISA) and her perceived fairness of the requirements of the ISP. Our results, which is ...

The Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) is the part of a computer’s architecture visible to programmers. It specifies basic data types, instructions, internal storage, addressing modes, memory architecture and interrupt/exception handling of a computer. Design decisions at ISA level not only determine the computer’s functional behaviour, but also influence non-functional properties such as perfo...

Independent component analysis (ICA) the theory of mixed, independent, non-Gaussian sources has a central role in signal processing, computer vision and pattern recognition. One of the most fundamental conjectures of this research eld is that independent subspace analysis (ISA) the extension of the ICA problem, where groups of sources are independent can be solved by traditional ICA followed by...
