Phytochemical profiles and antioxidant activity of four historical
grape accessions (‘Kuzu Kuyrugu’, ‘Miskali’, ‘Erkek Miskali’, and
‘Kirmizi Kismis’) grown in Igdir province located in Eastern Anatolia
Region of Turkey were examined. The amount of vitamin C,
organic acids (citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, succinic acid and
fumaric acid), sugars...
This study uses 9 years of longitudinal, student-level data from the Los Angeles Unified School District to provide updated, empirically–based estimates of the time necessary for English learners (ELs) to become reclassified as proficient in English, as well as factors associated with variation in time to reclassification. To illustrate how...
Advocates for language minority students depict the movement for language minority students' rights as an outgrowth of the civil rights movement, which focused initially on securing rights for racial minorities. This article examines whether the same conceptions of equality and legal remedies apply for both groups. Building on Berlin's notions...
We give a new approach to coding sequence (CDS) density
estimation in genomic analysis based on the topological pressure, which
we develop from a well known concept in ergodic theory. Topological
pressure measures the ‘weighted information content’ of a finite word,
and incorporates 64 parameters which can be interpreted as...
We consider issues of equality and efficiency in two different school funding systems - a state-level system in Michigan and a foundation system in Ohio. Unlike Ohio, the Michigan system restricts districts from generating property or income tax revenue to fund operating expenditures. In both states, districts fund capital expenditures...
Silvicultural regimes that aim at an increased stand structural diversity typically promote small-scale heterogeneity in horizontal and vertical structures, e.g. through the creation of gaps. We used terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) to investigate impacts of altered growing conditions on trees adjacent to artificial gaps as compared to responses of trees...
