D ogs and humans share a unique relationship that has existed throughout the world for centuries. The evolutionary nature of this relationship and information about the early days of domestication are unknown. However, one may assume that some efforts were made by humans to feed their canine companions , and symbiotic relationships developed. As domestication emerged, humans continued to share ...

In this paper we look at learner-formulated questions in technology-supported learning applications. Traditionally, technology-supported learning applications request input from the learner. The learner’s response is used to assess the knowledge of the learner, to define a navigation path through the material or to construct a learner model. With our work we want to add another form of interact...

In order to study the effects of various levels of protein in diet based on total and digestible amino acids on performance and carcass traits of broilers, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 288 broiler chicks from Cobb 500 strain in 6 treatments, each treatment consist of 3 replicates with 16 chicks per replicate. Treatments were the diets as follow: 1) diet for...

Particle electrification is a common phenomenon that occurs in many powder handling industries such as pharmaceuticals and detergents etc. The unit operations involved in the manufacture of pharmaceutical formulations frequently subject particles to frictional sliding and impact against processing surfaces, giving rise to tribo-electric charging. Pharmaceutical materials, in particular, are sus...

A 12-week laboratory feeding trial was performed to evaluate the efficacy of two different algae based value added feeds (one containing Spirulina platensis and Enteromorpha intestinalis and the other with Phormidium valderianum and Catenella repens) against conventional (rice bran and mustard oil cake taken in 2:1 ratio, used as control) for fingerlings of Indian major carp, Rohu (Labeo rohita...

The purpose of this research was to develop and evaluate pediatric formulation by masking the bitter taste of Isoniazid.Non-compliance of therapy of tuberculosis which is mostly associated with bitter taste can lead to worsening of diseased condition in children. Cationic resin utilized to mask the bitter taste of Isoniazidby preparing resinate complex. Syrup preparation evaluated for drug cont...

Existing treatments of Dijkstra’s guarded-command language treat divergence and failure as equivalent, even though Dijkstra clearly states they are not. We reexamine Dijkstra’s language, redefining its denotational semantics with powerdomains formulated in topological terms. The results refine existing work, give a sound semantics of guards, failure, and divergence for non-flat storage domains,...

Adverse effects and gastrointestinal toxicity limit the use of Diclofenac, a frequently-used NSAID for treatments of rheumatic disorders and other chronic inflammatory diseases. Diclofenac-carrier formulations may alleviate adverse effects, increase efficacy and allow local administration. We report here our first step, biophysical and biochemical investigations of Diclofenac formulated in our ...

Medical progress has moved the boundaries of life that were set many centuries ago. The development of medical techniques has allowed us to witness cases that were unknown prior to the introduction of reanimation procedures and mechanical ventilation. Towards the end of the 1950s, the term "irreversible coma" was coined, and has evolved into what is currently known as the "brain death" concept....

This contribution presents a simple, attractive, and exible formulation for the weighted total least squares (WTLS) problem. It is simple because it is based on the well-known standard least squares theory; it is attractive because it allows one to directly use the existing body of knowledge of the least squares theory; and it is exible because it can be used to a broad eld of applications in t...
