Recent increases in imports of catfish and crawfish have caused concern as to their impact on domestic
prices. This study identifies the linkages between imports of these goods and U.S. producer prices.
Increases in imports of catfish are shown to decrease related domestic prices. However, recent trends
show a simultaneous...
The awareness of sex-trait stereotypes among 120, eight-year-old children from intact families in both rural and urban areas in Korea were investigated. The rural sample included 20 boys and 20 girls attending the Damyang-Dong Primary School in Damyang-Eup, Korea. These subjects came primarily from farm families of the upper-lower and...
A Korean Sex Stereotype Measure (KSSM) was developed to assess the awareness of sex-trait stereotypes among Korean children. The KSSM contains 32 descriptions of psychological characteristics, 16 of which represent the male-trait stereotypes, and 16 of which represent the female-trait stereotypes. In a test situation, subjects were asked to associate...
The formation of 3-hydroxy-N-nitrosopyrrolidine from decarboxylation
of 4-hydroxy-N-nitrosoproline was demonstrated in model
heating system designed to simulate the conditions of frying bacon.
The identification of the nitrosamine was achieved by comparison of
its TLC R [subscript f] value, gas chromatographic retention time, and mass
spectral fragmentation pattern with those of...
This research focused on the enhanced reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE) and its surrogate, trichlorofluoroethene (TCFE), using two bioremediation methods in anaerobic conditions. Two anaerobic bioremediation studies were conducted to investigate the effects of microbial communities in the presence of different electron acceptors and donors during anaerobic reductive dechlorination of...
Real-world datasets are dirty and contain many errors. Examples of these issues are violations of integrity constraints, duplicates, and inconsistencies in representing data values and entities. Applying machine learning on dirty databases may lead to inaccurate results. Users have to spend a lot of time and effort repairing data errors...
The objectives of this study were: a) to obtain and evaluate
equipment for bio-acoustical analysis for this work and for future
work in the analysis of insect sounds, b) to study the acoustical and
sexual behavior of Acheta domesticus L., and c) to determine methods
for analyzing the changes effected...
Few studies have examined the acute effects of
resistive-type exercise on lipid-lipoprotein profiles. This
study examined the acute effects of a single session of
circuit weight training (CWT) on plasma lipid-lipoprotein
profiles: triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high
density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density
lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and the ratio...
