Point Intercept and Line Intercept Methods for Aquatic Plant Management
The use of quantitative methods for aquatic plants has not become as standardized as other components in the aquatic ecosystem, such as biotic (e.g., fish) or physical components (e.g., water chemistry) (APHA 1995, Lind 1979, Wetzel and Likens 1991). Even when considering aquatic biomass sampling, which is a widely accepted means of quantifying aquatic plant communities, there is considerable d...
متن کاملCurcumin-Loaded BSA Nanoparticles Protect More Efficiently Than Natural Curcumin Against Scopolamine-Induced Memory Retrieval Deficit
Introduction: There is evidence indicating that the rate of AD is lower in curry consuming populations. Then, there is an effort to elucidate if curcumin -as the main ingredient of turmeric- might affect the process of AD. However, in clinical trials of AD, a six-month curcumin treatment failed to show any progress, which might be attributable to its low bioavailability. In this line, a recent ...
متن کاملSigmoids Distinguish More Efficiently Than Heavisides
The main point of this note is to draw attention to the fact mentioned in the title, that sigmoids have different recognition capabilities than hardlimiting nonlinearities. One way to exhibit this difference is through a worst-case analysis in the context of binary classification, and this is done here. Results can also be obtained in terms of VC dimension, and work is in progress in that regar...
متن کاملLaboratory Diagnosis of Nosocomial Bacterial Infections Using Standard Methods
Background and objective: Implementation of standard methods for accurate detection of bacteria, correct antibiotic susceptibility testing and effective treatment of bacterial infections play important roles in development of public health and prevention of drug resistance. This study aimed to detect bacteria using standard methods and compare the results with the results obtained in teaching h...
متن کاملAeolian Vibrations of Transmission Line Conductors with More than One Damper
To reduce the damages of aeolian vibration of conductors to the power transmission networks, the most common method is installation of Stock-bridge dampers. Estimation of the damper’s dissipated energy is an important factor in determining the number and location of installation of these types of vibration absorbers. This estimation is strongly dependent upon the assumed mode shape of the condu...
