The influence of probiotic (isolated based on phytase activity) on growth performance, body composition, and digestibility of rainbow trout,Oncorhynchus mykiss

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract In this study, the effect of using bacteria with phytase activity (AM) isolated from traditional dairy products was investigated for use in feeding rainbow trout. For this purpose, 450 rainbow trout with an average initial weight of 6.50 ± 0.43 g were randomly distributed to treatments in a controlled feeding experiment lasting 8 weeks. Experimental diets consisted of treatments with two levels of 20% and 40% soybean meal, each with two levels of AM and the commercial phytase (SP) of 1000 FTU/kg (AMT20, AMT40, SPT20, and SPT40), 2000 (AMS20, AMS40, SPS20, and SPS40), and zero (C20 and C40) as the control treatment. The results showed that the body weight gain, daily growth rate, and nutrient digestibility were higher in C20 treatment than C40 ( p < 0.05). The use of SP and AM had a significant effect on body composition in fish fed diets containing 20% and 40% soy ( p < 0.05). In the treatment with 40% soybean replacement level, bacteria with phytase activity could significantly increase the protein content ( p < 0.05). The addition of bacteria to the AMS40 treatment neutralized the negative effect of 40% soy replacement on growth, protein, fat, and calcium and magnesium digestibility ( p < 0.05). The present study showed that using AM (especially at the dose of 2000 FTU/kg) could increase the replacement level of soybean for fishmeal in rainbow trout diet not only without a negative effect on growth, but also for improvement of fish performance.
Metal Oxide Coated Lithium Cobalt Fluorophosphate Cathode Materials for Lithium Secondary Batteries—Effect of Aging and Temperature

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Lithium cobalt fluorophosphate (Li2CoPO4F) is a promising 5 V class cathode material for lithium secondary batteries. In this study, surface coating with ZrO2 improved the electrochemical activity of Li2CoPO4F with a maximum discharge capacity of 144 mA h g(-1). The effectiveness of ZrO2 coating was evaluated using aging analysis with a commercial electrolyte, i.e., 1 M LiPF6 in EC:DMC (1:1, v/v). The metal ion dissolution was reduced to 1/8th of that observed in the non-coated Li2CoPO4F. It was found that the thin coating layer had less or no contribution to the additional resistance for the cell, both at an open circuit potential and at a fully charged state; hence, the capacity of the cell was retained over cycling. Elevated temperature aging did not affect the intrinsic property of the coated Li2CoPO4F, as observed from the complete anodic and cathodic peaks from cyclic voltammetry studies after 30 days of storage at 50 degrees C. An increase in impedance was observed for aged cells, which could be due to the thick SEI layer formed during storage. The ZrO2 coating over Li2CoPO4F was crucial for the improved performance of electrode active material at higher operating potentials of up to 5.2 V.

The behaviour of firms: an old debate

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The Harvard School began with the early Mason/Bain research about the performance of the firms to get market power. This proposal opened a different field of the neoclassical economic theory valid since Alfred Marshall, whereas the Chicago scholars continued with the traditional paradigm. Nowadays the three main issues of discussion between these two schools of economic thought are the same as those of the 30’s and 40’s: barriers of entry into an industry for the new incumbents, the production function and profits maximization and behaviour of the firms within their industry. This article updates these topics.
Copper(II)-Catalyzed\nAlkoxyhalogenation of Alkynyl\nUreas and Amides as a Route to Haloalkylidene-Substituted Heterocycles

A highly effective synthesis of haloalkylidene-substituted\nheterocycles\nby copper­(II)-catalyzed cyclization of alkynyl ureas and secondary\namides has been developed. The reaction, which involves a catalytic\namount of CuCl<sub>2</sub> and a stoichiometric amount of <i>N</i>-halosuccinimide, occurs selectively through an alkoxyhalogenation\nprocess. Alternatively, alkoxychlorination and alkoxybromination reactions\ncan be performed working solely with stoichiometric CuCl<sub>2</sub> and CuBr<sub>2</sub>, respectively.
Risk management of a fuel gas conditioning facility using fault tree analysis

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

In the recent past, industrial accidents have occurred which have had significant impacts. Accordingly, the results of either real or perceived incidents can quickly jeopardize the financial viability of a business. Since many facilities involve complex and/or hazardous manufacturing processes which may be catastrophic to the public, environment, or work force, managing and mitigating these risks has become an industry-wide concern. Formal risk management techniques have had their foremost application as decision making tools within the nuclear power industry. Recently, these risk management techniques have been applied in the petroleum and chemical industries. This application has enhanced plant safety through modifications in plant design and operations. This paper presents a case study of the application of state-of-the-art fault tree analysis techniques to a natural gas conditioning facility. This facility was designed to lower both the water and hydrocarbon dewpoints of a very high pressure gas prior to distribution to other facilities. The gas is conditioned since it will be exposed to extremely frigid temperatures during distribution. Special attention was given to potential equipment damage resulting from very cold weather conditions. As a result of this study, the facility owner gained an increased awareness of potential operating problems and made plantmore » modifications to reduce the possibility of a hazardous condition and subsequent catastrophic failure.« less
Evolving Practices in Marketing Attribution and Media Mix Modeling for Data-Driven Decision-Making

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

As businesses now face a range of challenges, technology integration is a dire necessity. The integration of machine learning, real-time analytics, and granular data ingestion into media mix modeling (MMM) frameworks offers valuable online and offline insights. Also, first-touch, last-touch and other traditional models of attribution are getting replaced with probabilistic and algorithmic ones that are more sophisticated. The purpose of this study is to examine the critical role of evolving practices in marketing attribution and media mix modeling (MMM). It dwells on innovative practices that integrate attribution and MMM. It demonstrates that Shapely value-based attribution, Bayesian hierarchical modeling, and synthetic methods allow for effective evaluation of the trade-offs among model scalability, accuracy, and transparency. The study also contributes to solving the problems of channel saturation, loss of signals, and data privacy regulations. The findings suggest the importance of technology integration, data-driven decision-making and integrative practices that suit marketing analytics and dynamics. Thus, the efficiency of marketing can be achieved at a significant extent through strategic models, data-driven decision-making and other related practices.
Examining the Impact of Anxiety Symptoms on Relations between Reactive and Proactive Aggression and the Quality and Stability of Children's Best Friendships

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The current study examined anxiety symptoms as a moderator of the relation between reactive and proactive aggression and the quality and stability of children's relationships with their best friend. An at-risk sample of 132 (55% male; 73% African American) 5 to 14-year-old children from low-income families was recruited from a community center that offered childcare to underserved populations. Data were collected at baseline and two months later, with the second wave of data collection yielding a sample of 79 children. Structural equation modeling was used to examine relations between baseline levels of reactive and proactive aggression and friendship quality and stability two months later. Additionally, anxiety symptoms measured at baseline were examined as a moderator of the relations between these functions of aggression and the quality and stability of children's best friendships. Contrary to hypotheses, no first order effects were found for either reactive or proactive aggression predicting friendship quality or stability. A first order effect was found in which child anxiety predicted a greater likelihood of friendship instability. However, levels of anxiety symptoms were not found to influence perceived level of friendship quality. Additionally, anxiety was not found to moderate the relations between reactive or proactive aggression and either friendship success variable. Post-hoc analyses failed to find differences for gender or age.
Nullius in verba: Version 2.0 of the University of Minnesota, School of Social and Administrative Pharmacy Program, Proposed Guidelines for Formulary Evaluation

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The principal objective in introducing Version 2 of the proposed Minnesota Guidelines for Formulary Evaluation is to recognize the challenges faced by formulary committees and other health care decision makers with the introduction of next generation sequencing (NGS) in therapy choice across a range of disease areas. The adoption of NGS promises to disrupt accepted standards in product development and formulary assessment. Although the standards expected in presenting, evaluating and replications clinical and cost-effective claims will still be central to the assessment process, the application of NGS platforms to link therapy choices to identified mutation clusters will require a robust evidence base. These Guidelines are intended to provide the framework for that evidence base by setting protocol driven standards for (i) choosing the appropriate NGS platform and (ii) evaluating NGS platforms in the identification of therapy pathways for target populations in disease states.

Supply Chain Enabling Technologies: Management Challenges and Opportunities

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

AbstractAs technologies become more open and easily applied, they will be used extensively as they promise competitive advantage through more efficient and effective management of supply chain processes. At the same time, however, they represent a potential trap for organizations thinking that they will supplant the need for effective strategy formulation, appropriate management of resources, or effective change and knowledge management systems. The management of the supply chain will be facilitated by more sophisticated technologies, but the organizations that are likely to benefit most will still be those able to choose, implement, and manage technologies appropriate to the requirements of their trading partner networks. A set of propositions and a framework explaining the nature of these relationships is presented.
Tort Liability in National Parks and How NPS Tracks, Manages, and Responds to Tortious Incidents

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Since the Organic Act mandates that the National Park Service (NPS) mission is to conserve the natural and cultural resources within its units, NPS cannot eliminate all dangers to visitors. As the 2006 NPS management policies state: “Park visitors must assume a substantial degree of risk and responsibility for their own safety when visiting areas that are managed and maintained as natural, cultural, or recreational environments” (NPS 2006, 105). The risk is serious, as over 5,000 serious injuries occur among park visitors each year, with 98 percent of them occurring in 110 parks (NPS 2013). Due to Government Performance and Results Act requirements, NPS must report fatalities and serious injuries in the parks, but there is scant reporting of less serious claims. In terms of actual litigation, not all who are harmed file claims, and not all claims filed have merit; the latter is mainly due to governmental immunity from many types of tortious incidents. This paper first explores the extent of liability the government faces for tortious incidents that take place in national parks. Then the cost of legal actions stemming from tortious incidents, and government efforts to track such incidents, will be detailed. Last, public risk management efforts to reduce tortious incidents in national parks, and a case study showing how proper tracking of tort claims can lead to more effective public risk management strategies, will be presented. A “tortious incident” is any civil wrong that occurs when one person’s action or inaction causes injury to another and from which a remedy may be obtained. Attorneys in the Department of the Interior’s Office of the Solicitor (DOI-OS) make the ultimate decision on whether to settle or litigate a claim made against NPS. While there is no database that keeps track of all tort claims against NPS, as will be detailed later, there is no doubt that in most claims, NPS is not liable for the incident. NPS is often not liable due to exceptions in the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). The FTCA, passed in 1946, waived the government’s general immunity and declared that tort actions against the US were authorized under circumstances “where the United States, if a private person, would be liable to the claimant in accordance with the law of the place where the act or omission occurred” (28 USC Ch 171 section 2672). The FTCA has a discretionary function exception that is
Formant comparison between whispered and voiced vowels in mandarin

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Formant shifting quantities of whispered vowels are important to both whispered acoustic analysis and reconstruction of normal speech from whispered speech, but no research on Chinese whispered formant has been reported. In this paper, an improved dynamic programming (IDP) algorithm for formant tracking is proposed, and the differences between whispered formants and voiced formants in Mandarin vowels are statistically analyzed. Experiments were performed on six Mandarin simple vowels /i/, /u/, /a/, /o/, /e/, and /u/ with four tones uttered by 20 speakers. It is concluded that the Mandarin whispered formants shift to higher frequencies and expand to wider bandwidths. On the other hand, the formant changes might carry some whispered tonal information.
SH309622.07FU

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.

Sustainable Productivity and Profitability through Maize-based Cropping System in Hilly Areas of Manipur

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years during 2018-19 and 2019-20 at three different locations of the farmers’ field in Chandel district of NEH Region, Manipur to compare the different maize-based cropping systems. From the two years data, it was observed that the highest maize yield was recorded from the sole crop 50.65 q/ha and 51.20 q/ha during 2018-19 and 2019-20 respectively, due to its higher plant population. The equivalent yield of maize 52.16 q/ha and 54.90 q/ha was recorded to be higher in maize + groundnut intercropping system during 2018-19 and 2019-20 as compared to maize + rice bean intercropping system. Though, intercropping with other crops reduced the grain yield of maize but intercropping increased the maize equivalent yield than sole maize. The gross return was highest in maize + groundnut intercropping system with Rs. 152510/ha and Rs.160700/ha with the net profit of Rs. 104141/ha and Rs. 110550/ha during 2018-19 and 2019-20 respectively. The benefit cost ratio was also found to be highest in maize + groundnut intercropping system during the years of experimentations. From this result, it can be concluded that maize + groundnut intercropping will be more beneficial and a viable practiced to achieve the goal of higher sustainable productivity and profitability in attaining doubling of farmers’ income.

Modeling and Verification of Infinite Systems with Resources

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We consider formal verification of recursive programs with resource consumption. We introduce prefix replacement systems with non-negative integer counters which can be incremented and reset to zero as a formal model for such programs. In these systems, we investigate bounds on the resource consumption for reachability questions. Motivated by this question, we introduce relational structures with resources and a quantitative first-order logic over these structures. We define resource automatic structures as a subclass of these structures and provide an effective method to compute the semantics of the logic on this subclass. Subsequently, we use this framework to solve the bounded reachability problem for resource prefix replacement systems. We achieve this result by extending the well-known saturation method to annotated prefix replacement systems. Finally, we provide a connection to the study of the logic cost-WMSO.
Age Composition of Same-sex & Different-sex Couples, 2023

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Drawing on 2023 1-year estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS), an estimated 1.3 million U.S. households were headed by same-sex couples, including 774,000 married and 530,000 cohabiting couples (authors’ calculations). In contrast, approximately 69 million households were headed by different-sex couples, comprising 60 million married and 9 million cohabiting couples. Prior research using the U.S. Decennial Census has shown that same-sex couples tend to have larger age gaps between partners than their different-sex counterparts (Schwartz & Graf, 2009). This Family Profile draws on 2023 ACS 1-year estimates to examine the age composition of married and cohabiting same-sex couples. Because the ACS identifies same-sex couples through a household roster that measures only the sex composition of the household head’s coresidential relationship (Kreider & Gurrentz, 2019), these estimates are restricted to couples in which at least one partner is the household head. We present findings on age gaps between partners and the age distributions of both younger and older partners in same- and different-sex couple-headed households, disaggregated by relationship type (i.e., married and cohabiting).
