an eight-week experiment was carried out to determine the effects of dietary pediococcus pentosaceus as probiotic on the body composition and gut microbiota of siberian sturgeon, acipenser baerii . a total of 180 fish with mean body weight of 143±0.01g were randomly distributed into 12 200l fiberglass tanks as four treatments with three replicates, including groups fed with diet containing 2×10...

background: during the ramadan ceremony, adult muslims abstain from drinking and eating between sunrise and sunset. it seems influence on their lifestyle such as eating behavior, meal schedule and also their sleeping. these changes may effect on the endocrine and neuroendocrine circadian patterns and consequently on cardiovascular indices. this study was performed to assess the effects of ramad...

in this paper, we determine the structure of the space of multipliers of the range of a composition operator cφ that induces by the conditional expectation between two lp() spaces.

despite the care taken to ensure the quality of date collected by enumeration and sampling, the final tabulation will sometimes give obvious indication of errors in basic information. evaluation of these errors furnishes those who use such a study and sampling. more general, the finding in these studies should be helpful to others that conduct surveys. in order to compare the age composition of...

abstract leaving crop residues on the soil surface may significantly affect the behavior and activity of herbicides. to probe this effect, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted using two factors including different rates of wheat surface residue (0, 1250, 2500 and 3750 kg ha-1 ) and different rates of trifluralin (%48 ec) herbicide (7...

Let A be any set of positive integers and n ∈ N. A composition of n with parts in A is an ordered collection of one or more elements in A whose sum is n. A palindromic composition of n with parts in A is a composition of n with parts in A in which the summands are the same in the given or in reverse order. A Carlitz (palindromic) composition of n with parts in A is a (palindromic) composition o...

A new method for computing evolutionary distances between DNA sequences is proposed. Contrasting with classical methods, the underlying model does not assume that sequence base compositions (A, C, G, and T contents) are at equilibrium, thus allowing unequal base compositions among compared sequences. This makes the method more efficient than the usual ones in recovering phylogenetic trees from ...

[Purpose] To create a regression formula in order to estimate 1RM for knee extensors, based on the maximal isometric muscle strength measured using a hand-held dynamometer and data regarding the body composition. [Subjects and Methods] Measurement was performed in 21 healthy males in their twenties to thirties. Single regression analysis was performed, with measurement values representing 1RM a...

We introduce the concept of Expressive Performance Generated Composition where the initial specification for a composition comes from the details of an expressive performance. This expressive performance may have been of a previous piece or be specially produced for the composition. The expressive deviations in the performance are used to generate a meaningful interpretation of the performance ...

The electrophoretic mobilities in starch gels have been determined for eight enzymes in extracts of representative cultures of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. These values were compared with each other and with those obtained from certain bacteria not in this family. The migrations of the eight enzymes were virtually identical for each of eight strains of Escherichia coli and for two ...
