The present mixed-method study sought to investigate the efficacy of using an interventionist dynamic assessment and specifically its formats namely the cake and the sandwich ones on learners’ grammatical English Tenses. In doing so, 45 advanced learners of English language at Iran Language Institute (ILI) in Shiraz, Iran were selected. They were randomly assigned to 3 groups, each including 15...

The Semantic Web is a web of data and is about two things (Ivan Herman et al., 2010). One is common formats for integration and combination of data drawn from diverse sources. Another is about language for recording how the data relates to real world objects. In simple terms it provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community bou...

Two multi-analyte flow-through immunoassay formats for rapid detection of mycotoxins in a variety of food matrices (peanut cake, maize, and cassava flour) were developed and evaluated. The selected food matrices are typical staple foods and export products for most low-income communities around the world. The assay formats included gel-based and membrane-based flow-through assays and were based...

MOTIVATION Giving a meaningful representation of a pedigree is not obvious when it includes consanguinity loops, individuals with multiple mates or several related families. RESULTS We show that finding a perfectly meaningful representation of a pedigree is equivalent to the interval graph sandwich problem and we propose an algorithm for drawing pedigrees.

wheat germ is a by-product of milling industry rich in fiber, tocopherol, unsaturated fatty acids, polyphenol, minerals and protein. in this study, effect of adding raw and stabilized wheat germ on the characteristics of cake batter such as specific gravity, viscosity and cake properties such as volume, apparent density, solid density, porosity, water activity, moisture and firmness was studied...

An immunoassay in optimised conditions with a highly sensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based biosensor was developed for the detection of the cancer biomarker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Different formats of the immunoassay were initially investigated on the surface of the gold sensor chip. A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) was formed on the gold chip using 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid...

This study aimed to analyze the economic feasibility of replacing soybean meal by sunflower cake in the diet of lambs. Twenty-eight non-castrated crossbred Suffolk lambs aged four months, with 21 kg average body weight ± 9 kg were used. These animals were distributed by weight category into 3 treatments (10, 20 and 30% dry matter (DM) addition of sunflower cake in replacing soybean meal) and co...
