Generalized linear models (GLM) and generalized additive mixed (GAMM) were developed to examine for differences in fishing power, also referred as a vessel effect, three commercial vessels chartered by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). The conducted fishery-independent sea scallop dredge survey MidAtlantic resource 2015. Surveys have continued since 2015 using multivessel approac...

The ClpXP protease of bacteria can degrade a wide variety of proteins while maintaining remarkable substrate selectivity. New work in Escherichia coli implicates adaptor proteins in enhancing substrate selectivity and regulating the flow of substrates to cellular proteases.

The chemical policies of the 1970s were limited by the assumptions that lie at their foundation and focused narrowly on only the most hazardous chemicals. The effective management of chemicals requires policies that focus on the entire body of chemicals and the production systems that make them. The future will require comprehensive chemicals policies that work within a systems framework to pha...

We develop a physical model to describe the kinetic behavior in cell-adhesion molecules. Unbinding of noncovalent biological bonds is assumed to occur by both bond dissociation and bond rupture. Such a decomposition of debonding processes is a space decomposition of the debonding events. Dissociation under thermal fluctuation is nondirectional in a three-dimensional space, and its energy barrie...

The present study analyzes the results of 2001 survey of 81 CFOs of bt-500 companies and her most valuable PSUs in India to find out the determinants of the dividend policy decisions of the corporate India. It uses factor analytic framework on the CFOs' responses to capture the determinants of the dividend policy of corporate India. Most of the firms have target dividend payout ratio and divide...

this study evaluates changes in species composition, catch, and cpue of three species of kilkas in the caspian sea from 1961 to 2009. the effects of fluctuations in sea level rise and fall on the catch of kilka as well as the impacts of a recent invasion by mnemiopsis leidyi (ctenophora) were assessed in terms of species composition and cpue of kilkas in the iranian coastal region of the caspia...
