We conducted a 84-day nutritional feeding experiment with dried whole cells of DHA-rich marine microalga Schizochytrium sp. (Sc) to determine the optimum level of fish-oil substitution (partial or complete) for maximum growth of Nile tilapia. When we fully replaced fish oil with Schizochytrium (Sc100 diet), we found significantly higher weight gain and protein efficiency ratio (PER), and lower ...

It is very important to achieve high performance in the SC-FDMA (single carrier frequency division multiple access) system that is used for LTE (long term evolution) and LTE-advanced system. To simultaneously resolve ICI(inter-subcarrier interference) and PAPR(peak to average power ratio) problem, focused on the two transmit(Tx) / one receive(Rx) antenna configuration, phase noise influence on ...

Directional spreading function of the gravity-capillary wave spectrum can provide the high-wavenumber wave energy distribution among different directions on the sea surface. The existing directional spreading functions have been mainly developed for the low-wavenumber gravity wave with buoy data. In this paper, we use radar observations to derive the directional spreading function of the gravit...

The paper proposes the use of the Silhouette Coefficient (SC) as a ranking measure to perform instance selection in text classification. Our selection criterion was to keep instances with mid-range SC values while removing the instances with high and low SC values. We evaluated our hypothesis across three well-known datasets and various machine learning algorithms. The results show that our met...

In chromatography, electrophoresis and sedimentation, an irreversible zone or boundary spreading is often observed which is greater than that attributable to ordinary molecular diffusion and to dispersion caused by flow in porous media. The additional spreading can often be identified with kinetic processes such as adsorption, partition, and chemical interconversion. The existence of this kinet...

Pollutants in the form of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs), such as petroleum products, pose a serious threat to the soil and groundwater. A mathematical model was derived to study the unsteady pollutant concentrations through water saturated contaminated soil under air sparging conditions for different NAPLs and soil properties. The comparison between the numerical model results and the publi...

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is produced in the rumen by isomerization of linoleic acid and has been shown to be anticarcinogenic. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of feeding dietary CLA to pre-ruminant lambs or linoleic acid-rich safflower oil to weaned ruminating lambs. Fat content, CLA content and fatty acid (FA) composition of diaphragm, leg, rib, subcutaneous (SC)...

In this work, we consider an elliptic partial differential equation with a random coefficient solved with the stochastic collocation finite element method. The random diffusion coefficient is assumed to depend in an affine way on independent random variables. We derive a residual-based a posteriori error estimate that is constituted of two parts controlling the stochastic collocation (SC) and t...
