Photobiological hydrogen production from live cells of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encapsulated in silica gel was investigated. Hydrogen is a dense energy carrier with potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, provided a renewable and sustainable means of production can be achieved. Under certain conditions, Synechocystis sp. PCC...
Thirty-six gilts were used in an experiment of 2³ factorial
design. The experiment consisted of two breeds (Yorkshire-
Berkshire and Yorkshire), two feeding regimens (pre-breeding and
post-breeding) and two levels of dichlorvos (2, 2-dichlorovinyl
dimethyl phosphate, 0 and 800 mg. per gilt per day). Pre-breeding
treatment consisted of feeding dichlorvos...
For data following a balanced mixed Anova model, the standard Anova method typically leads to exact F tests of the usual hypotheses about fixed effects. However, for most unbalanced designs with most hypotheses, the Anova method does not produce exact tests, and approximate methods are needed. One approach to approximate...
The Whale Cove Site, 35LNC60, is a shell midden, showing
occupations from 3010 B.P. to 330 B.P., spanning the Early and Late
Littoral Periods. Analysis of mammalian faunal remains, bone and
antler tools, lithics and discriptions of recovered shellfish
artifacts allows for chronological refinement of the previously
mentioned archeologically defined...
This study examines empirically the relationship of value
orientation to meanspiritedness. Meanspiritedness (a collection of
acts, thoughts and/or attitudes which are intentionally malicious)
was defined and a scoring method was designed. The management
level of self-interest in individuals as indicated by their value
orientation and religious orientation was examined. Additionally,...
Decades of experimental work has illustrated the high degree to which the partitioning of most elements is dependent on phase composition, temperature and pressure. In order to quantitatively describe clinopyroxene partitioning it is required to derive expressions using theoretical constraints calibrated with experimental data.
The experimental database available for such...
Fair value accounting has become a very popular and controversial topic in light of the 2008-2009 liquidity crisis in the United States. Fair value, also called mark-to-market, implies that assets and liabilities get measured and reported in firms‘ financial statements at market value as opposed to historical value. This study...
Moral reasoning ability is a measure of the stage of development of an individual along a theoretical scale through which one moves over the course of their lifetime, developed by Lawrence Kohlberg and further modified by James Rest, who’s revised Defining Issues Test (DIT-2) will be used for our study....
The passage of Measure 37 in 2004 was met with a great deal of controversy as a number of voters claimed the implications of the Measure did not represent their intentions for supporting the legislation. Namely, significant opposition was aimed towards the Measure 37 claim which offered landowners financial compensation...
Modifications of an ocean model are described, as the objective for which the model was used changed to study the kinematics and dynamics of an eastern-boundary poleward undercurrent.
