Starting from the difficulty of creating playful representation of domain-specific abstract concepts, this study discusses the design of Prime Slaughter, a computer game aimed at facilitating individual sense-making of abstract mathematical concepts. Specifically the game proposes a transpositionmathematical concepts. Specifically the game proposes a transposition of primality and factorization...

PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the possible estrogenic activity of some ingredients of Nigella sativa including Linoleic acid and Gama-Linolenic acid by vaginal cornification assay. METHODS Forty ovariectomized (OVX) rats, aged 16 weeks were allotted randomly to five groups: negative control (taking 1 ml olive oil/ day); positive control (taking 0.2 mg/kg/day Conjucated Equine Estrogen-...

We present a technique to identify optical counterparts of 250μm-selected sources from the Herschel-ATLAS survey. Of the 6621 250μm > 32mJy sources in our science demonstration catalogue we find that ∼ 60 percent have counterparts brighter than r = 22.4mag in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Applying a likelihood ratio technique we are able to identify 2423 of the counterparts with a reliability R...

Recently, some studies have proposed to model inbreeding depression through partial inbreeding coefficients associated with founder individuals (Lacy et al., 1996). This approach allows to attribute the effects of inbreeding depression to specific founders (Lacy et al., 1996) and its assumptions has been confirmed in several traits in pigs (Rodrigañez et al, 1998; Casellas et al, 2009a), sheep ...
