the objective of this study was to compare growth performance and feed conversion ratios of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) and brook trout (salvelinus fontinalis) juveniles in monoculture and duo-culture in freshwater and seawater under aquarium conditions. the fish were about 2-months old hatchery-reared brook and rainbow trout with initial weights of 0.934±0.033 (n=360) and 1.014±0.019 (...

We study the maximum duo-preservation string mapping (Max-Duo) problem, which is the complement of the well studied minimum common string partition (MCSP) problem. Both problems have applications in many fields including text compression and bioinformatics. Motivated by an earlier local search algorithm, we present an improved approximation and show that its performance ratio is no greater than...

This paper studies the dynamic user optimal (DUO) traffic assignment problem considering simultaneous route and departure time choice. The DUO problem is formulated as a discrete variational inequality (DVI), with an embeded LWR-consistent mesoscopic dynamic network loading (DNL) model to encapsulate traffic dynamics. The presented DNL model is capable of capturing realistic traffic phenomena s...

let $r$ be a reversible ring which is $alpha$-compatible for an endomorphism $alpha$ of $r$ and $f(x)=a_0+a_1x+cdots+a_nx^n$ be a nonzero skew polynomial in $r[x;alpha]$. it is proved that if there exists a nonzero skew polynomial $g(x)=b_0+b_1x+cdots+b_mx^m$ in $r[x;alpha]$ such that $g(x)f(x)=c$ is a constant in $r$, then $b_0a_0=c$ and there exist nonzero elements $a$ and $r$ in $r$ such tha...

we observe some new characterizations of $n$-presented modules. using the concepts of $(n,0)$-injectivity and $(n,0)$-flatness of modules, we also present some characterizations of right $n$-coherent rings, right $n$-hereditary rings, and right $n$-regular rings.

in this paper, we introduce the concept of the   generalized aip-rings as a generalization of the generalized quasi-   baer rings   and generalized p.p.-rings. we show that the class of the generalized aip-rings is closed under direct products and morita invariance. we also characterize the 2-by-2 formal upper triangular matrix rings of this new class of rings. finally, we provide sever...

Introduction. Although combination therapy with herbal medicine and probiotics is gaining popularity for controlling diarrhea-dominant irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS) symptoms, few studies have investigated its clinical effects. Materials and Methods. Fifty-three patients with D-IBS were randomly allocated into 1 of the following 4 groups: herbal medicine (Gwakhyangjeonggisan; GJS) plus probio...
