The ontogeny of hyperphagic behavior in the Zucker fatty ( fa/ fa) rat was examined. Wild-type, +/ fa, and fa/ fapups aged postnatal day 5( P5), P9, P12, P15, and P18 were evaluated using a test that measured ingestive behavior independent of the dam. The independent ingestive test consisted of giving pups access to a test solution [half-and-half (cream and milk)] on a tissue on the floor of a ...

The destruction of archaeological sites and the loss landscapes remains a global concern as populations urban areas continue to expand. Archaeological are not only significant local communities, national identities, modern tourist economies but also provide critical knowledge past socio-cultural interactions, settlement patterns, human-environment relationships, risk mitigation strategies. Whil...

Weighted geometric set-cover problems arise naturally in several geometric and non-geometric settings (e.g. the breakthrough of Bansal and Pruhs (FOCS 2010) reduces a wide class of machine scheduling problems to weighted geometric set-cover). More than two decades of research has succeeded in settling the (1 + )-approximability status for most geometric set-cover problems, except for some basic...
