In this article we give a characterization of monoids for which torsion freeness, ((principal) weak, strong) flatness, equalizer flatness or Condition (E) of finitely generated and (mono) cyclic acts and Condition (P) of finitely generated and cyclic acts implies regularity. A characterization of monoids for which all (finitely generated, (mono) cyclic acts are regular will be given too. We als...

Abstract Semi-moist pet treats contain moisture content ranging from 20-30% making them ideal for mold growth and mycotoxin production. To control spoilage, synthetic inhibitors, such as potassium sorbate, have been used. Unfortunately, consumers would prefer “natural” preservatives. Whey protein fermentate (WPF) is an efficient antifungal, albeit in large doses. Therefore, the objective of thi...

Objective: The objectives of this study were to determine the pattern rotavirus A (RVA), B (RVB), and C (RVC) shedding in gilts after natural planned exposure (NPE) administration assess effects on piglet weaning weight, preweaning mortality, RV shedding. Materials methods: total 70 pregnant enrolled allocated into 4 groups. Group 1 was given NPE at 5, 4, 3 weeks prefarrowing (WPF); 2 5 WPF; WP...

Windmill palm fiber (WPF) is an abundant source of cellulose that can be used in textile manufacturing. In this study, acid-alkali and acid-alkali-enzyme were prepared to create blended yarns. The morphology, chemical composition, physical structural parameters, tensile properties the WPF samples yarns studied. results indicated both treatments as degumming methods prepare windmill textile-grad...

The author uses mentoring theory to create a curricular model that teaches graduate students to produce publishable scholarly writing. The writing process and feedback (WPF) model presents getting published as an appropriate expectation of all graduate students. The model includes structured sequential classroom assignments, student editorial review boards, guest classroom appearances by publis...

DNA polymerase gamma (POLG) is essential for replication and repair of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Mutations in POLG cause mtDNA instability and a diverse range of poorly understood human diseases. Here, we created a unique Polg animal model, by modifying polg within the critical and highly conserved polymerase domain in zebrafish. polg(+/-) offspring were indistinguishable from WT siblings in m...

Studies in non-teleost vertebrates have found microRNAs (miRNAs) to be essential for proper gonadal development. However, comparatively little is known about their role during gonadal development in teleost fishes. So far in zebrafish, a model teleost, transcript profiling throughout gonadal development has not been established because of a tiny size of an organ in juvenile stages and its poor ...

This paper introduces ZOIL (Zoomable Object-Oriented Information Landscape), a design paradigm and software framework for post-WIMP distributed, zoomable and object-oriented user interfaces. We present ZOIL’s design principles, functionality and software patterns to share them with other researchers. Furthermore, ZOIL’s implementation as a software framework for C# and WPF (Windows Presentation...

A new system was used to determine the workplace protection factors (WPF) for dust and bioaerosols in agricultural environments. The field study was performed with a subject wearing an N95 filtering facepiece respirator while performing animal feeding, grain harvesting and unloading, and routine investigation of facilities. As expected, the geometric means (GM) of the WPFs increased with increa...

Workplace performance measurement of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is fundamental to the understanding of how well wearers are protected. It forms the basis for guidance on which the selection of appropriate equipment is based. However, the measurement of this performance is open to many sources of interference and inaccuracy, reducing the value and relevance of the results, and is mos...
