In order to adopt a strategic model which aims mitigate the environmental pressures exerted by process of unbridled urbanization, Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), an international agreement that permeates its conservation, sustainable use resources and equitable sharing resources, approved in 2010 creation City Biodiversity Index (CBI), political-legal instrument assess management prog...

Abstract This article examines discretionary reasoning in child’s best interest (CBI) assessments two jurisdictions, England and Norway, decision concerning adoption from care. The countries’ systems differ child protection orientations levels of autonomy but share the legal moral yardstick CBI. Judgments Family Court (n = 29) County Social Welfare Board Norway are analysed through a qualitativ...

This study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of in-house content-based instruction (CBI) materials general English course on student attitudes toward language learning together with their impact development mastery academic content. It also focused as a foreign (EFL) teachers departmental faculty members towards CBI materials. Using mixed-methods research design data were collected f...

Young children’s educational expectations for themselves, conceptualized as a college-bound identity (CBI), is theorized an important and, fortunately, malleable self-concept predictive of attainment. Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs) are emerging intervention shaping these but have remained understudied among rural populations. This study utilizes survey data from measure CBI collected N = 16...

In this paper, electroencephalography (EEG) measurements are used to infer change in cortical functional connectivity in response to change in audio stimulus. Experiments are conducted wherein the EEG activity of human subjects is recorded as they listen to audio sequences whose quality varies with time. A causal information theoretic framework is then proposed to measure the information flow b...

We consider the classical (propositional) version, CBI, of O’Hearn and Pym’s logic of bunched implications (BI) from a modeland proof-theoretic perspective. We make two main contributions in this paper. Firstly, we present a class of algebraic models for CBI which permit the full range of classical multiplicative connectives to be modelled. Our models can be seen as generalisations of Abelian g...

Design and performance details are given for the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI), an interferometer array that is measuring the power spectrum of fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) for multipoles in the range 400 < l < 3500. The CBI is located at an altitude of 5000 m in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. It is a planar synthesis array with 13 0.9-m diameter ante...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether traditional birth attendants (TBAs) trained via the "SMART Dai" method were superior to untrained TBAs in knowledge and practice regarding maternal and newborn care. METHODS In a cluster-randomized trial in the Dera Ghazi Khan District of Punjab, Pakistan, 120 rural communities each with a population of approximately 5000 were randomly assigned to a community-ba...

[14C]Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) was isolated from cultures of Aspergillus parasiticus grown on [1-14C]sodium acetate. Covalent binding of AFB1 to liver DNA of rat and mouse was determined 6-8 h after oral administration. The effectiveness of covalent binding, expressed as DNA binding per dose in the units of a 'Covalent Binding Index' (CBI), (micromol aflatoxin/mol DNA nucleotides)/(mmol aflatoxin/kg ...
