Van Etten, James L. (University of Illinois, Urbana), and David Gottlieb. Biochemical changes during the growth of fungi. II. Ergosterol and fatty acids in Penicillium atrovenetum. J. Bacteriol. 89:409-414. 1965.-Changes in the lipid constituents of Penicillium atrovenetum were studied during the growth and development of this fungus. The stages in development, as measured by the dry weight, we...

The lognormal (LN) and gamma-gamma (GG) distributions are compared to simulated and experimental data of the irradiance fluctuations of a Gaussian beam wave propagating through the atmosphere along a horizontal path, near the ground, in the moderate-to-strong turbulence regime. Irradiance data were collected simultaneously at three receiving apertures of different sizes. Atmospheric parameters ...

Knowledge about low flow statistics is essential for effective water resource planning and management in ungauged orpoorly gauged catchment areas, especially in arid and semi-arid regions such as Iran. We employed a data set of 20 riverflow time-series from the Iranian Central Plateau River Basin, Iran to evaluate the low-flow series using several frequencyanalysis methods and compared the resu...

In majority bootstrap percolation on a graph G, an infection spreads according to the following deterministic rule: if at least half of the neighbours of a vertex v are already infected, then v is also infected, and infected vertices remain infected forever. Percolation occurs if eventually every vertex is infected. The elements of the set of initially infected vertices, A ⊂ V (G), are normally...

My research focuses on investigation and improvement of knowledge representation (KR) language P-log which was designed to reason about both logical and probabilistic knowledge. In particular, I aim to extend P-log with new constructs, clarify its semantics, develop a new efficient inference engine for it and establish its relationship with other related formalisms. Successful completion of thi...

This study examined the effects of feeding of two dietary probiotics on growth performance and feed utilization, intestinal colonization and related health criteria, biochemical parameters, hematological indices, and immune parameters and protection against Yersinia ruckeri in Oncorhynchus mykiss during a period of 56 days. The study included 3 groups:1(a control group of fish, 2) a group of fi...

We describe an uncountable family of compact group automorphisms with entropy log 2. Each member of the family has a distinct dynamical zeta function, and the members are parametrised by a probability space. A positive proportion of the members have positive upper growth rate of periodic points, and almost all of them have an irrational dynamical zeta function. If infinitely many Mersenne numbe...
