stearoyl-coa desaturase (scd) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids (mufa). a number of studies support the hypothesis that scd gene regulation and polymorphism may affect fatty acid composition and fat quality in meat and milk. single nucleotide polymorphisms in the coding region of the bovine stearoyl-coa desaturase gene have been predicted to result in ...

Several newly released crop varieties, including the perennial intermediate wheatgrass (grain marketed as Kernza®), and winter hardy oilseed camelina, have been developed to provide both economic return for farmers reduced nutrient losses from agricultural fields. Though studies indicated that these crops could reduce nitrate-nitrogen (N) leaching, little research has done determine their effec...

In this paper, we define generalized Hardy-Berndt sums and elliptic analogue of the generalized Hardy-Berndt sums related to elliptic Bernoulli polynomials. We give relations between the Weierstrass ℘(z)-function, Hardy-Bernd sums, theta functions and generalized Dedekind eta function. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: Primary 11F20, 11B68; Secondary 14K25, 14H42.

This study aimed to explore the influence of the therapist’s theoretical orientation on patient’s narrative production. Cathy’s therapeutic narratives with Carl Rogers, Arnold Lazarus and Everett Shostrom were analyzed in terms of three narrative dimensions: structural coherence, process complexity and content multiplicity. Results showed statistically significant differences in scores of Cathy...

Diffusion of innovations is a theory profound by Everett Rogers that seeks to explain how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread. Rogers argues that diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated over time among the participants in a social system. For Rogers (2003), adoption is a decision of “full use of an innovation as the best course of action available” and...

In this paper we study the properties of coefficients appearing in the series expansions for zeros of generalized Rogers-Ramanujan series. Our primary purpose is to address several conjectures made by M. E. H Ismail and C. Zhang. We prove that the coefficients in the series expansion of each zero approach rational multiples of π and π as q → 1−. We also show that certain polynomials arising in ...

where a = 0 or 1, are among the most famous q-series identities in partitions and combinatorics. Since their discovery the Rogers-Ramanujan identities have been proved and generalized in various ways (see [2, 4, 5, 13] and the references cited there). In [13], by adapting a method of Macdonald for calculating partial fraction expansions of symmetric formal power series, Stembridge gave an unusu...

We investigate differences in the elementary theories of Rogers semilattices of arith-metical numberings, depending on structural invariants of the given families of arithmetical sets. It is shown that at any fixed level of the arithmetical hierarchy there exist infinitely many families with pairwise elementary different Rogers semilattices. For unexplained terminology and notations relative to...
