THE EFFECT OF POLYGYNY ON FERTILITY IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, 1999
(2010-07-14)
An important question in the analysis of fertility is does the type of marital union matter? Is women's fertility affected by their marital union type? Does being in a monogamous or polygynous union have any effect on the ...
Nanoparticles as Reactive Precursors: Synthesis of Alloys, Intermetallic Compounds, and Multi-Metal Oxides Through Low-Temperature Annealing and Conversion Chemistry
(2010-07-14)
Alloys, intermetallic compounds and multi-metal oxides are generally made by
traditional solid-state methods that often require melting or grinding/pressing powders
followed by high temperature annealing (> 1000 degrees ...
Study of White Light Cavity Effect via Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Induced Fast Light in a Fiber Ring Resonator
(2010-10-12)
Techniques to control dispersion in a medium have attracted much attention due
to potential applications to devices such as ring laser gyroscopes, interferometric
gravitational wave detectors, data buffers, phased array ...
Investigations on the Mechanism of Allosteric Activtion of Rabbit Muscle Glycogen Phosphorylase b by AMP
(2010-07-14)
Much work has been carried out on glycogen phosphorylase over the last seventy years. Interest has persisted due not only to the usefulness of phosphorylase as a model system of allostery, but also due to the connection ...
G-Varieties and the Principal Minors of Symmetric Matrices
(2010-07-14)
The variety of principal minors of nxn symmetric matrices, denoted Zn, can be
described naturally as a projection from the Lagrangian Grassmannian. Moreover, Zn
is invariant under the action of a group G C GL(2n) isomorphic ...
Evaluation of Early Measures of Body Composition as Related to Beef Carcass Traits
(2010-07-14)
Two similarly managed trials were conducted to investigate serial ultrasound
measures of body composition (longissimus muscle area (ULMA), 12th - rib fat
thickness (UFAT), and percentage of intramuscular fat (UIMF)) early ...
A Prospective Longitudinal Investigation of Effects of Nonparental Social Support on Early Adolescents' Academic Achievement and Academic Outcomes
(2010-01-16)
The present study explored the prevalence and patterns of nonparental social
support and investigated the effect of such support for 363 ethnically diverse elementary
and middle school students. Using a prospective design, ...
New Tool for Proliferation Resistance Evaluation Applied to Uranium and Thorium Fueled Fast Reactor Fuel Cycles
(2010-07-14)
The comparison of nuclear facilities based on their barriers to nuclear material
proliferation has remained a difficult endeavor, often requiring expert elicitation for each
system under consideration. However, objectively ...
Identification and Characterization of Bovine Pol III Promoters to Express a Short-Hairpin RNA
(2010-12-08)
The use of molecular biology as a means to advance agriculture has proven beneficial in many fields. However, the development lentiviral vectors that utilize a livestock promoter to express short hairpin RNA (shRNA) has ...
The Effect of Graded Levels of Dietary Starch on Cecal Environment in Horses
(2010-07-14)
Eight cecally fistulated geldings were used in a randomized 4 x 4 Latin square design to observe the effect varying levels of dietary starch had on cecal environment. The 4 treatment rations contained 2 g starch/kg BW (Diet ...
