Sophisticated computer simulations can support effective science-based evaluations to facilitate better governance of the marine space. We developed a range of spatial fisheries models, integrating biological with fisher decision-making dynamics and management for assessing management of multiple activities. We present the outcomes of case-specific evaluations with different ecological and socio-economic...
Methods to improve the efficacy of swine barley rations were
evaluated. A literature review pertaining to the subject, three feeding
trials involving 104 swine, and a laboratory investigation were
used in the study.
The effects of pelleting with a new modified pellet die that
produces a dense pellet; supplementation with...
Remote national parks of the western U.S. and Alaska are not immune to contaminants of emerging
concern. Semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) such as pesticides and PCBs can selectively deposit from
the atmosphere at higher rates in cold, high-elevation and high-latitude sites, potentially increasing risk to
these ecosystems. In the environment,...

The biological preparation of aflatoxins was accomplished by
culturing the mold Aspergillus flavus on various media. Aflatoxin
was isolated by chloroform extraction of the culture, and purified
by column fractionation and crystallization. Rice, wheat, soya bean,
peanut and YES media were found to give high yields of aflatoxin. It
was...
This study was an experimental investigation of two methods of
teaching students the cognitive knowledge and psychomotor skills pertaining
to the automobile brake system. The methods investigated
were the experimental individualized learning system and the traditional
group-lecture and demonstration.
Experimental Design and Procedure
The experiment, conducted during the spring term...
Auditory defects and disorders are prevalent at all ages and affect 8% of the population in developed nations including newborns and children. Congenital hearing loss is the most common birth defect and it is estimated that 1 in 1000 children are affected by deafness at birth or before the onset...
