J agos P., Bouda J.: Protein Metabolism in Cows and their Calves Fed from Buckets. Acta vet. Brno, 49, 1980: 59-66. The level of total protein, protein fractions, immune globulins in blood and colostral serum of 40 cows and in blood serum of their calves up to the age of 3 months were determined. No significant differences in the concentration of total proteins and their fractions in blood seru...

We present the first robust estimates of apparent survival of western cottonmouths (Agkistrodon piscivorus leucostoma) in central Texas. Estimates presented were obtained using the Cormack–Jolly-Seber Model that accounts for detectability. Apparent annual probability of survival of western cottonmouths located at Honey Creek, Comal County, Texas, a spring-fed stream flowing 3.2 km to its conflu...

Before I became a journal editor, always saw the peer review process as an intrinsic part of academic life (Burnham, 1990). While is certainly not perfect system, and number its limitations are well known, it appears to be most impartial independent method currently available assess quality research submitted (Bazi, 2020; Tennant & Ross-Hellauer, 2020). If wanted submit my papers journals where...

We present new optical and infrared (IR) observations of Cir X-1 taken near apastron. Both sets of spectra show asymmetric emission lines. Archival optical observations show that an asymmetric Ha emission line has been in evidence for the past 20 years, although the shape of the line has changed significantly. We present an eccentric (e , 0:7–0:9† low-mass binary model, where the system consist...

The observation that ventricular fibrillation may occur within seconds after restoration of blood flow to myocardium turned ischemic by a period of coronary occlusion (reperfusion) was originally made in the experimental laboratory in the 19th century by Cohnheim and Von Schulthess-Rechberg1 and later confirmed in the early 20th century by Tennant and Wiggers.2 In fact, it was found in subseque...

The acceptability and effectiveness of an expert system is critically dependent on its user interface. Natural language could be a well-suited communicative medium; however, current NL interfaces to expert systems show an impeding number of shortcomings. In this paper, it is shown how the XTRA system a German NL interface between a user and one of various expert systems employs a framework of n...

introduction: drought stress is one of the main problems in agricultural productions in arid and semiarid regions such as iran. lack of water influences on most of plant physiological processes such as photosynthes, cellular development and uptake and transmission of nutrients in plants. some approaches such as selection of resistance cultivars to drought stress, and selection of dripped irriga...

The paper develops a Gentzen-style framework for reasoning about basic notions of social choice theory as preference relations and choice functions. First, it aims at providing an inferentialist account of the meaning of such notions in terms of the inference rules governing their use in formal derivations: to this end it is shown how to formulate the axioms of preference relations (reflexivity...

Work-life balance is an area of increasing importance to both employees seeking to balance work and non-work roles a nd to organisations striving to improve their organisational effectiveness or competitive advantage (Greenhaus & Powell 2006; Gregory & Milner 2009). While there is no consistent definition of work-life balance, there are consistent themes which include: employees achieving an ac...

The authors apply results on complementarities to theories of insurance companies’ choices of ownership structure and executive compensation. They identify minimal restrictions on the interaction between firm policies and exogenous characteristics for theories to have testable implications for reduced-form regression coefficients. Obtaining testable implications for structural-equation regressi...
