Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) or biodiesel is a biofuel conventionally produced from edible oil and methanol, using an alkaline catalyst, through a transesterification reaction. As FAME is mostly produced from edible vegetable oils, crop soils are used for its production, increasing deforestation and producing a fuel more expensive than diesel. In addition, between 70 and 80% of the total FAME...

We investigate a pool of international chess title holders born between 1901 and 1943. Using Elo ratings, we compute for every player his expected score in a game with a randomly selected player from the pool. We use this figure as the player's merit. We measure players' fame as the number of Google hits. The correlation between fame and merit is 0.38. At the same time, the correlation between ...

A research study entitled "Effect of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) on flowers and bulb production of Tulip’s cultivars" was conducted at Ornamental Nursery, Department of Horticulture, The University of Agriculture Peshawar-Pakistan. The results of the experiment showed that there was a significant effect on number of days to flowering (108.0) and leaf length (22.50 cm), when applied DAP at the ra...

The familiarity of names produced by their prior presentation can be misinterpreted as fame. We used this false fame effect to separately study the effects of divided attention on familiarity versus conscious recollection. In a first experiment, famous and nonfamous names were presented to be read under conditions of full vs. divided attention. Divided attention greatly reduced later recognitio...

One widespread procedure to render the attractor of Kleinian groups, appearing in the renown book [8], wantshuge memory resources to compute and store the results. We present a new faster and lighter version that drops the original array and pulls out group elements from integers.

Background and Purpose—Additional exercise therapy has been shown to have a positive impact on function after acute stroke and research is now focusing on methods to increase the amount of therapy that is delivered. This randomized controlled trial examined the impact of additional family-mediated exercise (FAME) therapy on outcome after acute stroke. Methods—Forty participants with acute strok...

Implicit (unconscious) gender stereotyping in fame judgments was tested with an adaptation of a procedure developed by L. L. Jacoby, C. M. Kelley, J. Brown, and J. Jasechko (1989). In Experiments 1-4, participants pronounced 72 names of famous and nonfamous men and women, and 24 or 48 hr later made fame judgments in response to the 72 familiar and 72 unfamiliar famous and nonfamous names. These...

Fifty-five randomly selected Staphylococcus aureus strains were examined for fatty acid modifying enzyme (FAME) production. Of these, 20.4% did not elaborate the enzyme. Amongst the remaining strains, the lowest level produced in culture was 0.1 unit/10(9) cocci and the maximum was 2.01 U/10(9) cocci; the median level was 0.4 U/10(9) cocci. In a series of straight-chain saturated fatty acids wi...
