Eleven triand tetra-meric motif microsatellite loci were identified in a lake sturgeon genomic library and were tested against the six North American species of Acipenser (lake sturgeon, A. fulvescens; shortnose sturgeon, A. brevirostrum; white sturgeon, A. transmontanus; green sturgeon, A. medirostris; Atlantic sturgeon, A. oxyrhynchus oxyrhynchus; gulf sturgeon, A. o. desotoi) and the two spe...

Ces cahiers sont écrits dans le style des publications scientifiques. Les idées et les opinions émises sont sous l'unique responsabilité des auteurs et ne représentent pas nécessairement les positions du CIRANO ou de ses partenaires. Thi...

Le cauchemar, défini comme un rêve extrêmement dysphorique, impliquant généralement des menaces vitales sur la sécurité ou l’intégrité physique, représente phénomène courant. Survenant majoritairement en stade de sommeil paradoxal, il se différencie notamment d’autres parasomnies par l’accès rapide à état orienté et alerte après l’éveil. Sa survenue façon répétée son retentissement vie du sujet...

— Let S be an alphabet. A string of theform xyyz with x, ze£* and y e T* is called répétitive. In this paper we prove that the set of répétitive strings over an alphabet of three or more letters is not context-free, settling a conjecture from [1]. Résumé. — Soit 2 un alphabet. Un mot contient un carré s'il est de la forme xyyz avec x, z e X* et ye£ + . Dans cet article, nous prouvons que V ense...

Trimethyl glycine has been supplemented in livestock diets for decades due its role as an essential osmo-protectant, protecting proteins, enzymes, inhibiting cellular apoptosis and reducing energy expenditure, under osmotic stress. A study was conducted to determine the effect of trimethyl (TMG) on blood biochemistry organ indices heat-stressed growing rabbits. Thirty rabbits were randomly allo...

Maize is one of the major ingredient and preferred cereal used in poultry ration formulation. It because its high energy low fibre content. However, huge competition between man livestock for maize has led to increase price consequently necessitated a search alternative feedstuffs that could adequately supply nutrients at same time reduce cost. The research was conducted evaluate effect replaci...

Existing example-based texture synthesis techniques are inherently unadapted to textures consisting of a set of randomly disposed, individually discernible shapes. Local methods striving at pixel-based discontinuity reduction hardly preserve input’s long-range structures. Alternatively, research built upon the supposed respect by the input’s features of given placement rules are too restrictive...
