Very little is known about the organisms that are impacted by mine waste in the Berkeley Pit Lake System. However, it is known that if heterotrophic and autotrophic organisms are properly nutrified, they can bioremediate mine waste-influenced areas as a benefit of their physiological processes. However, before any type of bioremediation of an ecosystem can begin, it is essential to gain a funda...

What have been the effects of technological change on production in OECD economies? Are there any systematic differences between the countries in the Asia Pacific Region and other OECD countries? Estimates of aggregate and biased technological change for 18 OECD countries are generated, treating each economy as a trading economy with multiple outputs as well as multiple inputs. Productivity gro...

The redpoll finch complex Carduelis flammea-hornemanni has received much attention from taxonomists due to its remarkable variation in plumage and morphology. Some authors have suggested one highly variable species, flammea, while others have suggested seven species (see Knox 1988 for review). The most widely held view recognises two species, the common redpoll (including flammea, islandica, ro...

The elderly population size is increasing worldwide due to prolonged life expectancy and falling birth rates. Traditionally, suicide rates increase with age. For example, a recent cross-national study of 62 developing and developed countries reported an increase in suicide rates with aging in males and females in 25 and 27 countries respectively (Shah, 2007a). Thus, suicides in the elderly are ...

Introduction Reproductive performance in swine is most related to inseminations occurring near the time of ovulation. This is due to the time-span for normal fertilization of eggs being limited by both the egg after the occurrence of ovulation (<12 h) and the sperm after insemination (<24 h). Therefore, the number of eggs that are fertilized, the percentage of normal embryos, the resulting preg...

The variation of household attributes such as income, travel distance, age, household member, and education for different residential areas may generate different market penetration rates for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Residential areas with higher PHEV ownership could increase peak electric demand locally and require utilities to upgrade the electric distribution infrastructure ev...
