this study was carried out to determine the effects of lactobacillus plantarum on chemical compositionand nutritive value of whole-plant corn (wpc) ensiled at different stages of maturity. based on local routinepractice, wpc was harvested at three stages of maturity as follows: (1) two weeks before routine harvestingtime; (2), one week before routine harvesting time and (3), routine harvesting ...

Task period and deadline selection are often used to adjust the workload to the available computational resources. This paper presents a method for adjusting the periods of the tasks which obtains the minimal hyper-period. Task periods are modelled as a range of possible periods. The selected periods are not constrained to be natural numbers, but can also be rational numbers. Without this limit...

While it is well established that exercise can improve cognitive performance, it is unclear how long these benefits endure after exercise has ended. Accordingly, the effects of voluntary exercise on cognitive function and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein levels, a major player in the mechanisms governing the dynamics of memory formation and storage, were assessed immediately aft...

Much research has suggested that facial identification has some characteristics of automaticity, in that it is rapid, nonconscious, and mandatory. However, little research has tested whether it can occur even if attention is already devoted to the demanding central processes of another task. In the present study, we addressed this type of automaticity using the psychological refractory period p...

For d ≥ 2, we construct a doubling measure ν on Rd and a rectifiable curve Γ such that ν(Γ) > 0.
