Effect of feeding on linseed oil (LO)-enriched Artemia was investigated on growth, survival and stress resistance of tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona) larvae. Larvae were fed by LO-enriched (2.5, 5 and 7.5 %) as well as non-enriched Artemia nauplii for 14 d, followed by 14 d feeding on non-enriched Artemia. Fish fed on enriched nauplii showed significant increase in growth performance at both 14th...

in present work, we have calculated the electronic properties including density of states (dos) and electron density for gan, inn and in wurtzite phase for x=0.5. the study is based on density functional theory (dft) with full potential linearized augmented plane wave method (fp-lapw) by generalized gradient approximation (gga-pbesol) for calculating electronic properties. in this report we con...

n a paradox experienced by many IT managers, organizational information systems (OISs) are implemented and function exactly as designed—a success by all objective measures—yet users are still disappointed and consider them unsuccessful. Exploring this paradox here, we recommend ways to reduce the root causes of such disappointment. Researchers and practitioners alike have long focused on the su...

for sharing information has brought with it the corresponding ubiquity of URL references and citations. URLs regularly appear on billboards, packages, business cards, print advertisements, clothing, and as references in scientific articles. Most readers have probably experienced a “dead link”: a Web reference that for a variety of reasons will not lead to a valid or correct Web page. A dead lin...

Simulations of 29Si and 23Na MAS NMR spectra indicate the presence of differing proportions of two polytypes and a third phase in three samples of penkvilksite, Na4Ti2Si8O22•5H2O. The most abundant peaks are assigned to the 2O and 1M polytypes, and a third set of peaks are provisionally assigned to a proposed 2M polytype. The quadrupolar interaction parameters for 23Na, Cq and , were calculated...

The projector augmented-wave ~PAW! method was developed by Blöchl as a method to accurately and efficiently calculate the electronic structure of materials within the framework of density-functional theory. It contains the numerical advantages of pseudopotential calculations while retaining the physics of all-electron calculations, including the correct nodal behavior of the valence-electron wa...

hree years is a long time in the world of e-business. In 1999 bookstores were replete with treatises by e-vangelists heralding a new “network economy” that would fundamentally change the conduct of business and commerce. According to consultant firm Booz Allen Hamilton, more than 90% of top managers believed these claims would be realized by 2001 [3]. As we now know, these e-vangelists were at ...

I n recent years, many research activities have focused on design that aims to produce universally accessible systems, taking into account special needs of various user groups. These special needs are associated with many user factors, such as impairments of speech, hearing or vision, cognitive limitations, aging, as well as with various environmental factors [3]. Fields that address this probl...

nformation technology, in any form, has its own inherent tendencies and influences the nature and direction of organizations. It has significantly changed supply chain processes across different organizations and, in many cases, improved competitiveness. This trend cannot be stopped and therefore should be understood so that it can be directed toward enabling organizations to achieve better per...
