description: Tremendous amount of CO2 emission is carried out due numerous human events. It is projected that construction sector is alone accountable for release of nearly 50% of Greenhouse gases. Cement production itself produces about 7% Carbon Dioxide. Zeolite is one of the few Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM’s) which can be used as a partial substitution of Cement in concrete without hampering the properties of Concrete. One of the major benefits of blending zeolite in Concrete is its tendency to adsorb CO2. This study tries to blend Natural Zeolite in Concrete and to be used in rigid pavement which was not tried earlier. In this study, Neural Network tool of MATLAB is used to predict the mechanical properties (Compressive Strength and Split Tensile Strength) of Zeolite Blended concrete and to validate the results with the actual test results. Economic Analysis of Rigid Pavement blended with zeolite is also carried out to compute the effect of this blending on the economy of pavement.

description: Technological advances in genotyping have given rise to hypothesis-based association studies of increasing scope. As a result, the scientific hypotheses addressed by these studies have become more complex and more difficult to address using existing analytic methodologies. Obstacles to analysis include inference in the face of multiple comparisons, complications arising from correlations among the SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms), choice of their genetic parametrization and missing data. In this paper we present an efficient Bayesian model search strategy that searches over the space of genetic markers and their genetic parametrization. The resulting method for Multilevel Inference of SNP Associations, MISA, allows computation of multilevel posterior probabilities and Bayes factors at the global, gene and SNP level, with the prior distribution on SNP inclusion in the model providing an intrinsic multiplicity correction. We use simulated data sets to characterize MISA's statistical power, and show that MISA has higher power to detect association than standard procedures. Using data from the North Carolina Ovarian Cancer Study (NCOCS), MISA identifies variants that were not identified by standard methods and have been externally ``validated'' in independent studies. We examine sensitivity of the NCOCS results to prior choice and method for imputing missing data. MISA is available in an R package on CRAN.

Some factors affecting the survival of planted Douglas-fir seedlings in the coastal forests of British Columbia
Creators: name: Addison, John Walker
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A comprehensive literature review of the factors affecting the survival of planted Douglas-fir seedlings is presented. Original data from operational planting trials was analyzed to determine the effect of some seedling, planting and environmental factors on survival. The use of 2+1 stock was found to result in increased survival of fall-planted seedlings, but not of spring planted seedlings. 1+0 stock showed comparatively good survival when spring-planted on sites with little brush and/or slash competition. The size of planting stock, and a subjective assessment of grade were not found to be related to survival after one growing season. Fall lifting dates from October 15 to December 2 were analyzed in relation to survival using regression analysis. Early-lifted stock was found to result in lower survival than the later-lifted stock. Lifting date had no significant effect on the survival of spring-planted seedlings. Planting dates from February 10 to June 10 in the spring and from October 14 to December 2 in the fall were analyzed in relation to survival using regression analysis. Survival was found to be significantly improved with later fall planting dates and early spring planting dates. Length of storage had no detectable influence on survival. The nursery origin of the seedlings was found to be significantly related to survival. Where ground cover competition was severe, slash-burning resulted in increased survival; where ground cover competition was light or non-existent, slashburning resulted in reduced survival. Heavy ground cover competition reduced the survival of both spring and fall-planted seedlings, except on north to east aspects. Elevation and aspect of the planting site were both found to be significantly related to survival. Planting in thick duff reduced the survival of spring and fall-planted seedlings. The survival of fall-planted seedlings was also reduced by planting in rolling topography, and on steep south to west aspects. Planting during sunny weather resulted in reduced survival. Planting during snowy weather reduced the survival of fall-planted seedlings only. Some genetic factors, such as origin of the seed, seed classification, and aspect and elevation of the seed collection areas compared to that of the plantation were analyzed in relation to survival with inconclusive results. The author concludes that no one factor is of overriding importance in all situations, but that all factors act and interact to varying degrees. Therefore in most cases it is very difficult to assign a specific reason for mortality. It is important that the relative importance of each factor under different sets of conditions be known. The key to better survival, therefore, is planning and forethought, to ensure that as few factors as possible are limiting to survival at any one time. Based on the data analyzed, some specific recommendations for improving the survival of planted Douglas-fir seedlings are presented.
title: Characteristics and Genesis of Certain Soils in the Southern Foothills of Central Alborz, Iran
Creators: name: Rooyani, Firouz
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: Characteristics and genesis of five pedons representing some of the soils of the central Alborz mountain northeast of Tehran were investigated. The present climate of the area is similar to the Mediterranean climate. The parent materials for the soils under study have apparently been derived from the Ecocene Alborz Green Beds (a thinly bedded light green mudstone), the Pliocene Hezardareh Formation (a poorly-cemented conglomerate) and Recent alluvium and colluvium. Pedons 2 and 4 are located at lower elevations (plain and river terraces) on 1 to 2 percent slopes. Pedons 3 and 5 are located at higher elevations (hills that surround the valley) on steep slopes of 60 to 75 percent.
According to the results obtained from the physical, chemical, mineralogical, and micromorphological analyses, the pedons have been classified as Xeric Torriorthent--loamy-skeletal, mixed, thermic (pedon 1); Vertic Xerochrept--fine, mixed, thermic (pedon 2); Xerollic Calciorthid--loamy-skeletal, mixed, thermic (pedon 3); Xerollic Calciorthid--fine, mixed, thermic (pedon 4); and Argic Calciorthid--clayey-skeletal, mixed thermic (pedon 5).
The studies on the genesis of the soils were summarized as follows:
1. Wind deposition has affected the top layer of the eroded surfaces of the five pedons. The process has incorporated silt and very fine sand materials into these layers.
2. The differences in landform stability, and consequently, the various degree of the influence of the erosion-deposition processes, are believed to be responsible for the differences in the horizon differentiation of the pedons. The steepness of sloper rather than age of the landform was responsible for the present morphology of the pedons.
3. Pedons 1 to 4 are Recent in age but the control section of pedon 5 reflects an age of Pleistocene or older and, therefore, a wetter climate than at present.
4. The clay mineralogy and the texture of the control section of the pedons reflect the greater influence of the parent materials than any other factor of pedogenesis.
It was suggested that for the Aridisols with moisture regimes bordering on Xeric, the required electrical conductivity of more than 2 millimhos per centimeter be eliminated from the differentiating criteria in Soil Taxonomy.
title: Chemical Weathering of Pyrite in Soils
Creators: name: Brown, Aaron D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1985

description: The products of pyrite oxidation, including solution phase Fe2+, Fe3+, S2O32-, S4O62-, SO32- and SO42- and solid phase Fe(OH)3, were measured under controlled conditions in order to investigate the behavior of pyrite in calcareous and alkaline soils.
The distribution of sulfur oxidation products is pH dependent and can be interpreted in terms of metastable equilibrium among thiosulfate, disulfane disulfonate and sulfite. Thisulfate and sulfite predominate in the pH range greater than about pH 7 or 8. Sulfane disulfonates are more predominant at more acid pH.
Solution concentration data were consistent with the presence of Fe(OH)3. Concentrations of thiosulfate and sulfane disulfonate were consistent with a redox equilibrium among solution iron and sulfure species at pH 6 to 9.
Linear or zero-order kinetics were found to be sufficient for description of pyrite oxidation in this study. Linear kinetics were observed as electrical conductivity, solution sulfur products and solution plus solid phase iron products. The measurement of solution iron plus solid-phase iron oxide is a more rigorous approach to the extent of reaction than the measurement of sulfate.
The rate of pyrite oxidation is pH dependent, increasing from 10-20 pmol(Fe) m-2 s-1 to 40-60 pmol(Fe) m-2 s-1 between pH 5 and 9. This is consistent with an oxidation mechanism involving the reoxidation of solution Fe2+ via a reaction between an iron hydroxide complex and hydrated oxygen as the rate-determining step. The effect o background electrolytes on oxidation rates at low pH also supports this interpretation.
Pyrite oxidation rates in the presence of calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium thiosulfate and calcium-saturated bentonite can be related to the pH effect. Sodium thiosulfate and DTPA appeared to have specific inhibitory effects.
Column studies show that the disposal of pyritic mine spoils or tailings by mixing with calcareous material may produce thiosulfate, a good reducing agent for toxic metals. Burial of lime below pyritic materials may protect groundwater quality more effectively than application of lime to the surface.
title: Poverty and Migration: Synthesis of Macrolevel and Microlevel Perspectives of Migration

description: This study assesses effects of contextual and personal characteristics on the migration propensities of individuals, with primary focus on several measurements of individual poverty status and the poverty level of the residential areas. The restricted opportunity perspective on poverty, the human capital perspective and the microeconomic perspective on migration, are the major frameworks guiding the study. Logistic regression analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of the Youth Cohort and from the 1983 County and City Data Book is employed to investigate differences in the Migration behavior between the poor and nonpoor, and significant main and interactive effects of the macrolevel and microlevel factors on the migration behavior of American youth. The major findings are: (1) youth living in areas with less employment opportunities are more migratory; (2) poor youth are less migratory than the nonpoor; and (3) the poor living in areas with less employment opportunities are least migratory. These findings are consistent when migration is classified into primary and repeat migration, but are not consistent across the ethnic groups.

description: Generally, the quality management system is designed to ensure that the organizations make adequate effort to achieve the level of quality required by the customer. Achieving these quality levels will contribute to greater customer satisfaction, which is crucial to maintaining long-term success for construction firms. ISO 9001 Quality Management System is one of the ISO 9000 standards set that includes a collection of instructions on how to set up a quality management system for processes that impact their goods or services. Despite reports that construction organizations enjoyed the great benefits of being an ISO 9000 certification are literally proven, the main goal of Quality management system implementation, namely achieving customer satisfaction in project management, is still broad. Enhanced management & work efficiency of the organization as the most important benefit from system implementation while the most significant issue is lack of knowledge of the system among the employees. To solve these implementation challenges, preparation and audit (internal and external) need to be improved.

description: We determine the topological susceptibility χ_t in the topologically-trivial sector generated by lattice simulations of N_f = 2+1 QCD with overlap Dirac fermion, on a 16^3 x 48 lattice with lattice spacing ~ 0.11 fm, for five sea quark masses m_q ranging from m_s/6 to m_s (where m_s is the physical strange quark mass). The χ_t is extracted from the plateau (at large time separation) of the 2-point and 4-point time-correlation functions of the flavor-singlet pseudoscalar meson η', which arises from the finite size effect due to fixed topology. In the small m_q regime, our result of χ_t agrees with the chiral effective theory. Using the formula χ_t = Σ(m_u^{-1} + m_d^{-1} + m_s^{-1})^{-1} by Leutwyler-Smilga, we obtain the chiral condensate Σ^{MSbar}(2 GeV) = [249(4)(2) MeV]^3.

description: Recruitment and evaluation are one of the tasks that has a significant effect on the organization’s success to accomplish its purpose as part of human resources management. The aim of this analysis is to define employee recruiting and selection in the construction industry. The research centered on the analysis, identification and conclusion of current recruiting, selection and training practices implemented by building firms. In comparison, having a career was boring and frustrating early, but it became simple, fascinating and rewarding as technology progressed. The planet has now undergone a radical change in recruiting from newspaper and radio advertising to internet job platforms and media networks. Through the increase in technologies, recruiting is encouraged and strengthened. Because of technical advancements, recruitment has made it simple, cost effective and responsive for a variety of resources, websites and portals to expand. The organization will then implement the latest innovative techniques and methods and introduce technology and enhance the efficiency of its internal recruiting and selection method as preparation program in order to ensure positions are met as quickly as possible as cost-effectively as possible.

title: A Study of Certain Economic Factors Involved in the Organization and Management of Poultry Farms in Utah
Creators: name: Wrigley, Robert L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1935

description: In the organization and management of poultry farming many problems arise which call for a solution. Among such problems are the following: The amount of floor space per hen which will prove the most economical, the value of electric lights in poultry houses, amount of labor which can be profitably invested in a poultry flock, and the amount of feed which can be economically fed to poultry.
There are many influences which determine poultry profits that cannot be controlled directly, but the factors mentioned here are largely within the control of the poultryman. He should, therefore, direct them as far as possible so as to increase his net returns.
Each hen should be provided with floor space necessary for most efficient production. The poultryman, however, does not know the amount of space that will bring the greatest returns. If the net income from each hen is just as high with two square feet of floor space per hen as where each hen has six square feet, then it is not economical to have six square feet of floor space per hen. If this is the case, it would be advisable for the poultryman to increase the size of his flock so as to obtain the fullest returns from his investment in poultry houses and equipment.
A poultry farmer should know if there are any advantages derived from the use of electric lights. If it is an advantage to use lights, the poultryman desires to know how many hours they should be used each day. If, through the use of lights, production is increased to such an extent that gross returns more than pay for wiring, cost of electricity, and other incidental expenses, lights will prove a profitable investment.
A poultryman must give time and labor to his flock in feeding, cleaning coops and gathering eggs. When this work has been efficiently done, extra time and labor is not likely to increase profits. The poultry farmer wants to know the point where increased labor fails to increase profits. This same principle applies to the amount of feed given to poultry. Up to a certain point production may be increased as the amount of feed is increased, but before this point is reached, the extra eggs may not pay for the additional feed costs. The poultry farmer should know the limits of poultry feeding which will prove profitable.
Whether or not the poultryman solves these problems determines to a considerable degree his success or failure.
This study is an attempt to point out the relationship existing between several of these factors which pertain to the organization, management, and profitableness of poultry farm.

We can predict the coding region of DNA and also find out abnormality present in the coding region. This algorithm is used to find out the cancer cells. As cancer is caused due to some mutation or abnormalities present in the DNA. So this algorithm is tested in on the several cancer gene databases and normal gene databases present in the Gene bank and NCBI website that provides satisfactory results.
Sustainability Indicators in Marine Capture Fisheries
Creators: name: Potts, T
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines the development of sustainability indicator systems (SIS) as a tool to implement the concept of sustainability into fisheries management. This research focuses upon the identification and evolution of these systems, their application as a management tool, and their response to problems in fisheries sustainability. The thesis presents a series of ten case studies that outline differing approaches to developing SIS in marine capture fisheries. These national, regional and non government case studies provide an opportunity to strategically assess and evaluate the use of SIS in fisheries management. The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992 addressed sustainable development as a means to satisfy the needs of human societies within the constraints presented by natural systems. Over the last ten years, sustainable development has been adopted by local, regional, national, and international institutions and instruments. Implementing and operationalising the concept of sustainable development has, however, provided significant challenges. Marine capture fisheries witnessed rapid development in the second half of the 20th Century. As pressure increases on capture fisheries, it is important that measures are introduced to ensure sustainable use of such fisheries. These measures include methodologies and frameworks for the assessment and management of fisheries incorporating biological, environmental, economic and socio-political relationships - the core of sustainable development. This thesis examines the viability of sustainability indicators as a tool for assessing progress towards sustainability. Indicator systems have been implemented across a range of fisheries jurisdictions with varying degrees of success. In assessing SIS in practice, several key components were distilled from the case studies and the assessment framework. The research demonstrates that SIS are used in national environmental reporting and fisheries specific systems across a range of legal and policy contexts, can link directly to the fisheries management process, and focus at the scale of fishery operations. Target species indicators are well advanced in SIS practice, ecosystem indicators are being rapidly developed and tested, and socio-economic and governance indicators require further progress. In terms of addressing sustainability outcomes, SIS are shown to facilitate scientific and policy coordination, increase transparency, accountability and co-management, increase the participation of environmental and non-government organisations, and provide the structure to implement ecosystem based management and precautionary approaches. While some SIS have been successful in developing measurement frameworks, criteria, objectives and indicators and adapting to specific policy contexts, further progress is required in developing reporting protocols, visualisation tools and aggregation methods.

description: Before presenting an economic analysis of farm tenure in the Uintah Basin, it will be helpful to consider some aspects of the historical, economic, and social background of that portion of the region included in this study.
A portion of the Uintah Indian Reservation, which was created in 1861, was opened to white settlement under the homestead and townsite laws on August 28, 1905 after 103,000 acres of farming land had been allotted to individual Indians living on the reservation and 276,000 acres reserved for Indian grazing lands and timber reserve.
Because of the large deposits of asphalt products that had been found nearby and a belief that the mountains were rich in minerals, much attention was attracted to this homestead opportunity. As a result 37,702 persons applied for entry of which it was estimated there would be land for only 5,772 when final drawings were made. Although this region seemed to be an "Eldorado" at that time it has later become one of the greatest problem areas of the State of Utah.

description: Early studies on the bacterial content of milk were made mainly to satisfy the interst of people who wished to determine the various materials that contained bacteris. Soon the value of bacterial counts, as an indication of the general conditions of production, of handling, and of the keeping qualities of milk, became evident and bacterial counts were used to obtain information concerning these problems. Numbers of bacteria in milk have been used also in the studies of the desirable and undesirable changes in milk.
In the last few years our citizenry has been made more importance of bacteria in milk. As the number of milk dealers have increased and our population in the cities has become more conjested, more stringent regulation of our milk supplies has been practiced. Of major importance in this regulatory program is the bacterial count of milk. Large dairy manufacturing plants, which have also recognized the importance of high bacterial counts in influencing the quality of their products, have encouraged production of low count milk even to the extent of giving bonuses to such producers and rejecting milk that did not come within their standards.

description: During the past decade, risk management has been implying into a parent business practice in government and industry. The objective of risk mitigation in the transport industry has been to strength increases and intensity. Hazardous material shipments are involved, this leads to prevention tearing down and minimizing the consequences when a release develops. Managing the transport network along with the management of the business, the creation of programs, and the implementation of projects is extremely complex and fraught with doubt. Administrators, planners, and engineers collaborate as well as provide technical support to improve the quality of the transit system. The approach to transportation risk management assumed that when man-made disasters occurred, they were accidental in nature and not due to spiteful intent. Risk management in the construction industry is not at all and simple process. Because risk creates different problems in cost, quality and time. If risks are not managed properly, order of works will get influenced in construction sites. There are six types of risks, their causes and serious issues faced by Contractors, Project managers and engineers. Therefore, questionnaire has been prepared to find out the root causes of risks and its origin. Here I shared some reviews and some ideas to reduce the risks. Thus, risks are determined, quantified, and suggestions have been given to reduce or control the risks.

Creators: name: Barnes, Charles
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1990

description: Wheat (triticum aestivum, L.) plants were exposed to three different levels of phytochrome photoequilibria (φ), two different photoperiods, end-of-day far-red radiation, two different levels of blue (400-500 nm) light, three levels of photosynthetic photon flux (PPF), and two types of high intensity discharge lamp types. Tillering was reduced by lowered φ, by reduced amounts on blue light and by end-of-day far-red. Main culm development was increased by lowered φ, by increased PPF, and was reduced by shortened photoperiod and by reduced blue light. Leaf length was increased by increased PPF, lowered φ, and reduced blue light but was not affected by photoperiod, end-of-day far-red or lamp type. Dry-mass accumulation increased under increasing PPF but was unaffected by other treatment in these experiments.

description: We propose that we can realize "tight-binding photonic bands" in metallophotonic waveguide networks, where the photonic bound states localized around the crossings of a network form a tight-binding band. The formation of bound states at the crossings is distinct from the conventional bound states at defects or virtual bound states in photonic crystals, but comes from a photonic counterpart of the zero-point states in wave mechanics. Model calculations show that the low-lying photon dispersions are indeed described accurately by the tight-binding model. To exemplify how we can exploit the tight-binding analogy for a {\it designing} of photonic bands, we propose a "flat photonic band" in the kagome network, in which the photonic flat band is shown to arise with group velocities that can be as small as 1/1000 times the velocity of light in vacuum.

Two-lane highway

description: In this study, 85th and 98th percentile speed estimation models of vehicle on two-lane rural highways were developed using a statistical technique of multiple regression. Models were developed using spot speed data obtained from five sites out of total eight and data of three remaining sites were taken into account for validation. Speed of vehicle at 50m initial to point of curvature, point of curvature, middle of the curve along with Geometric aspects of Horizontal curve and section adjacent to tangent were considered as independent variables. Car and SUVs speed for the 85th and 98th percentile was found to be parallel, so united for further analysis. Vehicle speed at middle of the curvature was found to be dependent on its speed at previous segment and geometric features predicted previously. Speed estimation of car and two-wheeler at middle of the curve was found to be strongly corelated with curve length and deflection angle. Gradient at particular locations was resulted to be a most affecting parameter for 85th percentile speed of HCV and LCV. The 98th percentile speed at middle of the curve were found in strong correlation with speed at 85th percentile speed. Root mean square errors were calculated to be within range of 2 to 8 km/h. study concluded that length of curve could be a very significant factor in the practice of highway geometric design.

ECG Segmentation

description: Heart is the most important organ of the human body. The heart pumps the blood throughout the body so it is necessary to track heart activity. An electrocardiograph is a technique to measure heart activity. In thistechnique,the electrode is attached on the surface of the body, and by recording those signals doctor diagnosis that symptoms of the person are normal or abnormal. ECG segmentation is one of the most important methods for the analysis of processing of ECG signals that comprises compression tasks, filtration, heart rate variability studies (HRV), and beats classification or grouping. In this study, we have surveyed various ECG segmentation techniques perform by various eminent authors working in this field. The purpose of this article is to provide an insight view of the algorithms and techniques utilized by these authors which can be helpful for the neophytes in this field.

description: Analog computer methods are developed for iterative parameter optimization and continuous identification of linear systems with time delay. A unified treatment of structural sensitivity analysis is presented. New results are presented on the simultaneous generation of the second-order sensitivity functions for a class of systems. To test the theory, a simple controller is proposed for a linear time-invariant process with time delay. The controller parameters are to be adjusted so that the process output closely approximates some desired output, while remaining insensitive to fluctuations in the plant delay. For this purpose, an iterative procedure is used to minimize a combined error-sensitivity performance index. Two continuous identification methods are presented. The first of these is an output error method derived using structural sensitivity analysis, while the second is an equation error method. It is assumed that processes to be identified can be represented by linear differential-difference equations. Unknown parameters in these equations are determined by a steepest descent technique. Both methods are applied for the first time to the important problem, of identifying constant and time varying time delays. The two methods are compared, and the equation error method is found to be superior. It is shown that this method is stable in the linear region in parameter space, and is always stable if all process delays are known. Techniques leading to a more economical implementation of the equation error method are presented.

description: We demonstrate how near-perfect entanglement (in fact arbitrarily close to maximal entanglement) can be generated between the end spins of an anti-ferromagnetic isotropic Heisenberg chain of length $N$, starting from the ground state in the $N/2$ excitation subspace, by applying a magnetic field along a given direction, acting on a single spin only. Temporally optimal magnetic fields to generate a singlet pair between the two end spins of the chain are calculated for chains up to length 20 using optimal control theory. The optimal fields are shown to remain effective in various non-ideal situations including thermal fluctuations, magnetic field leakage, random system couplings and decoherence. Furthermore, the quality of the entanglement generated can be substantially improved by taking these imperfections into account in the optimization. In particular, the optimal pulse of a given thermal initial state is also optimal for any other initial thermal state with lower temperature.

title: Characterization of Anti-Pichinde Virus Monoclonal Antibodies for the Directed Delivery of Antiviral Drugs and Toxins

description: Mouse monoclonal antibodies directed against Pichinde virus (PCV) were produced to evaluate their application as vehicles for the delivery of antiviral drugs or toxins to virus-infected cells. Four monoclonal antibodies, PC4.9A6, PC4.9D3, PC4.7C2, and PC4.8D3, were of the IgG2a subisotype and reacted with acetone-fixed and live PCV-infected Vero-76 cells. In vivo stained splenic macrophages derived from PCV-infected hamsters that had been injected with fluorescein-labeled PC4.9A6 (FITC9A6) demonstrated a 400% increase in total fluorescence over similarly treated, non-infected cells when analyzed by flow cytometry. This is an indication that FITC-9A6 does have some ability to specifically target PCV infected cells in vivo. Radioimmunoprecipitation of viral proteins showed that all the antibodies precipitated two different PCV proteins, one of 64,000 daltons and another of 38,000 daltons. These proteins are, respectively, PCV ix nucleoprotein (NP) and a breakdown product of NP that is present in PCV infected cells.
An immunofluorescent assay (IFA) for PCV was developed. This IFA was used for antiviral drug assays against PCV. The assay was performed by adding fluorescein-labeled anti-PCV monoclonal antibody to fixed, virus infected cells at 24 h after infection and counting the fluorescent cells. The 50% effective dose (EDso) for ribavirin against PCV using this IFA was 6.0 IJ. g/ml. The EDso of ribavirin using inhibition of marginal PCV cytopathogenic effect after 12 days was 6.0 IJ. g/ml and using plaque reduction after 5 days is 2.5 IJ. g/ml, indicating that this IFA was of comparable sensitivity.
An immunotoxin (IT) was produced by the conjugation of gelonin to PC4.9A6. This IT was tested in vivo in PCV-infected MHA hamsters. It was not active against the disease at the dosage tested and by the intraperitoneal (i.p.) treatment route employed in this study. The positive control, ribavirin, administered i.p. for 14 days at a dosage of 40 mg/ ml significantly increased the number of survivors. Three of 5 IT toxicity control animals developed some humoral response that inhibited PC4.9A6 binding to infected cells. They did not show any humoral response to the gelonin moiety of the IT.

description: Cancer comprises a group of diseases that causes abnormal cell growth in the human body. Lakhs of people suffer from these diseases and ultimately they died due to cancer. So it is necessary to detect these diseases in an early stage. Genomics Signal Processing deals with advance research in genetics. So by applying various GSP techniques, it becomes easier to predict one of the most dangerous diseases Cancer. In this paper, we have represented the binary mapping of the raw genomic data to convert into digital data and on applying the Fast Fourier algorithm as well as the Discrete Wavelet Transform in our algorithm to predict uncertainty that is present in the coding region of DNA of the gene of Cancer cell. The purpose of this research is to provide an accurate prediction of cancer to the cancer researcher’s so that the life efficiency of any cancer patient increases. We have implemented the algorithm on Matlab 2015a which consist of signal processing kit. The proposed algorithm is applying on several DNA sequences present in normal genes as well as cancer genes of Homosapiens chromosomes which is available on the National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database.
On Location/s: Seeking fieldwork sites for the study of society and environment within teacher education - an analysis of social constructs of place and space
Creators: name: Johnston, RM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: As an ethnographic study situated within teacher education practice, this thesis is structured around 'three pedagogical moments' in the studies of society and environment units within a Bachelor of Education degree. This study links classroom teaching and observation illuminated through naturalistic enquiry with student surveys and interviews and locational analysis using a multi-method approach to research. The hidden and explicit curriculum and pedagogies of fieldwork are investigated as these are implemented in early childhood and primary education - and more particularly, in the teaching of Studies of Society and Environment (SOSE), as a specific site of knowledge construction in teacher education. Accordingly, the study is located within recent debates surrounding the nature of geographic knowledge and understandings of place and space as partial and socially constructed. It also draws on recent critiques of fieldwork in early childhood and primary education and more specifically, in geography. Integral to this discussion are understandings of place and space as triggers to childhood learning and emerging identity. Reference to paintings by Jeffrey Smart - as an illustrative and visual device -helps to locate the study's central themes, and the visual and emotional as well as rational and cultural dimensions of student teacher choices. Key themes identified through a constructivist approach to grounded theory are used as the basis of analysis of interview responses and the generation of theory. By beginning a critical pedagogy of space with the 'mattering maps' and 'cartographies of taste' of teacher education students, the study articulates the many discourses brought to the selection of sites for Studies of Society and Environment and contributes to the dialogic process of learning to teach.
