Effects of using n-3 HUFA-enriched Artemia and non-enriched Artemia as the starter food for growth and survival of rainbow trout larvae compared to commercial concentrated food were investigated in this study. The larvae with average weight of 92.9 mg were fed for 20 days with four food treatments included of commercial concentrated food, newly hatched Artemia, enriched Artemia, and mixture of ...

The Fundamental Law of Information Recovery states, informally, that “overly accurate” estimates of “too many” statistics completely destroys privacy ([DN03] et sequelae). Differential privacy is a mathematically rigorous definition of privacy tailored to analysis of large datasets and equipped with a formal measure of privacy loss [DMNS06, Dwo06]. Moreover, differentially private algorithms ta...

Economic processing of lignocellulosic biomass requires handling the biomass at high solids concentration. This creates challenges because concentrated biomass behaves as a Bingham-like material with large yield stresses. Here we employ torque rheometry to measure the rheological properties of concentrated lignocellulosic biomass (corn stover). Yield stresses obtained using torque rheometry agr...

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to study substrate recognition by the family 48 exocellulase CelF from Clostridium cellulolyticum. It was hypothesized that residues around the entrance of the active site tunnel of this enzyme might serve to recognize and bind the substrate through an affinity for the cellulose monomer repeat unit, β-d-glucopyranose. Simulations were conducted of t...

Title of Thesis: DOES SENSE OF COMMUNITY MEDIATE THE EFFECTS OF NEIGHBORHOOD DISADVANTAGE ON ADOLESCENT DRUG USE? Hua Yan, Master of Arts, 2013 Directed By: Professor Terence Thornberry, Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice This thesis examines the relationship between neighborhood disadvantage, sense of community, and adolescent drug use. Prior research has found that sense of commun...

my paper has two parts. first, i talk about the golden rule. after introducing the rule and its global importance, i explain why many scholars dismiss it as a vague proverb that leads to absurdities when we try to formulate it clearly. i defend the golden rule against such objections. second, i talk about the golden rule in persia and islam; i consider persian sources (muslim and non-muslim) an...

BACKGROUND Social support is frequently linked to positive parenting behavior. Similarly, studies increasingly show a link between neighborhood residential environment and positive parenting behavior. However, less is known about how the residential environment influences parental social support. To address this gap, we examine the relationship between neighborhood concentrated disadvantage and...
