This study presents the random-effects rating scale model (RE-RSM) which takes into account randomness in the thresholds over persons by treating them as randomeffects and adding a random variable for each threshold in the rating scale model (RSM) (Andrich, 1978). The RE-RSM turns out to be a special case of the multidimensional random coefficients multinomial logit model (MRCMLM) (Adams, Wilso...

A low glucosinolate content (21.8 mmol g) Brassica napus seed meal (RSM) applied to orchard soils altered communities of both pathogenic and saprophytic soil micro-organisms. RSM amendment reduced infection by native and introduced isolates of Rhizoctonia spp. and recovery of Pratylenchus spp. from apple roots. Root infection by Rhizoctonia solani AG-5 was also suppressed in split-root assays w...

BACKGROUND Mesorectal margin tumour involvement is a predictor of local recurrence in rectal carcinoma and an indication for postoperative radiotherapy in suitable patients. However, the prevalence of non-peritonealised surgical margin involvement in ascending colon carcinoma is unknown. AIMS To test the hypothesis that retroperitoneal surgical margin (RSM) tumour involvement occurs in distal...

The growth of Streptococcus thermophilus ST12 (ST12) in liquid milk, reconstituted from low-heat skim milk powder reconstituted skim milk (RSM) and in RSM with rennet addition (r-RSM) at 40°C was monitored by microcalorimetry. It was shown that the growth rate of bacteria decreased in renneted samples in comparison with liquid RSM starting from certain sizes of the colonies ("deviation moments"...

The Resource Space Model RSM and Semantic Link Network SLN are models of future interconnection environment, and the combination of them forms a rich semantic layer for the next-generation web. This paper investigates the combination between RSM and SLN. The methods of the transformation between RSM and SLN are proposed. From the perspective of transformation, the correlations between the norma...

The aim of the present study was to examine the reliability of a novel multi-direction repeated sprint ability (RSA) test [RSM; 10 × (6 × 5-m)] compared with a RSA with one change of direction [10 × (2 × 15-m)], and the relationship of the RSM and RSA with Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 (Yo-Yo IR1) and jump performances [squat jump (SJ) and counter-movement-jump (CMJ)]. Thirty-six (ma...

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary rapeseed meal (RSM) on growth performance, blood profiles, nutrient digestibility and economic benefit of growing-finishing pigs. A total of 120 growing pigs ([Yorkshire×Landrace] ×Duroc) with an initial body weight (BW) 29.94±0.06 kg were used in this experiment. Pigs were randomly allotted into 1 of 5 treatments in a randomized ...

The Seoul Road Sign Management (RSM) is a system which provides the semantic integration of LOD’s Linked Geo Data and Open Street Map with Korean POI data set. That is an attempt to develop intelligent road sign management system based on the LarKC platform. The RSM data set contains over 1.1 billion triples of semantic data. However, significant amount of the RSM data are noisy (e.g., inconsis...

Rotating Sbox Masking (RSM) scheme is a lightweight and highly efficient first-order masking scheme proposed to protect cryptographic implementations like AES from side channel attacks. It is a Low Entropy Masking Scheme (LEMS) and has attracted special attention from academia and industry with its low overhead and high performance. The two public targets of DPA Contest v4 are both RSM-masked A...

This trial was performed to study the effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with fermented rapeseed meal (RSM) on growth performance, serum biochemistry variable and intestinal morphology of broilers. A total of 640 d-old Arbor Acres broiler chicks were randomly allocated to 4 dietary treatments, 4 pens per treatment and 40 birds per pen for a 6-wk feeding trial. In the four treatment groups,...
