When asked to combine two pieces of evidence, one diagnostic and one non-diagnostic, people show a dilution effect: the addition of non-diagnostic evidence dilutes the overall strength of the evidence. This non-normative effect has been found in a variety of tasks and has been taken as evidence that people inappropriately combine information. We investigated the dilution effect using simple per...

The fermentation rate of rumen microorganisms obtained from a sheep fed on hay was determined at different hours after feeding. The highest rate of fermentation was obtained immediately after feeding whereas the lowest rate was always before feeding. The effect of adding glucose, sucrose, and starch alone or in combination with urea, sodium citrate, or succinic acid on the maximal fermentation ...

In vivo temporal changes in ruminal liquid flow, liquid volume and VFA concentrations were determined in growing steers following once-daily feeding. Crossbred beef steers (n = 8; 278 +/- 8 kg), used in a crossover design, were trained to consume 180% of their maintenance energy intake within 2 h of either a high-forage (54% hay: 46% concentrate; HF) or high-concentrate (28% hay: 72% concentrat...

Abstract Background Online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF), whether in pre-dilution OL-HDF (pre-HDF) or post-dilution (post-HDF), is conducted to efficiently remove low molecular weight proteins from the blood of patients requiring dialysis. ? 2 -microglobulin (? -MG) and ? 1 (? are used as biomarkers evaluate removal efficiency OL-HDF. We aimed relationship between -MG reduction rates amount albumi...

Glucose-limited chemostat cultures of Escherichia coli, growing at dilution rates above 0.3/hr, continue to grow at the restricted rate after removal of glucose restriction. In a glycogenless strain, the specific rates of increase of mass, protein, and ribonucleic acid (RNA) were equal before and after supplementation with 0.05% glucose and did not increase detectably until after 30 to 60 min. ...

I : 10 caused a severe drop in fertility. In most of these studies as well as in more recent works (PoP, SAr.J Nand IozoN, Ig6q. ; Ani DAI &dquo; FJO ESN and HOVLAND , Ig6! ; SEMKOV and KOLE V, 19 66), the effect of dilution cannot be separated from that of the inseminated sperm number which was reduced by the increased dilution ratio. With the same number of spermatozoa per insemination dose, ...
