Abstract: This experiment was conducted to address the issue of spectral integrity of pelleted feces exposed to environmental conditions at different times of the year in near infrared reflectance spectroscopy analysis, using goats as the representative herbivore. Both dietary crude…

A model for simulating transport of reactive multispecies components has been applied to simulate the chemical changes occurring during salt water intrusion in a confined aquifer. One-dimensional reactive flow in permeable media is simulated by means of a numerical method…

Three numerical methods for calculating the point spread function for holographic optical elements in the presence of aberrations are analyzed. The starting point for the analytical formulation of the diffraction theory of aberrations for holographic optical elements is the Fresnel-Kirchhoff…

Structural and floristic attributes of riparian forest patches in a Neotropical savanna were studied in order to evaluate their potential to maintain rain forest plant diversity during periods of drought. Tree density was significantly greater, and basal area significantly lower,…

This article reviews the origins of the Documentation, Information and Research Branch (the 'Documentation Center') of Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB), established in 1988 as a part of a major revision of the procedure for determination of refugee status.…

The size of the Azotobacter vinelandii chromosome is approximately 4,700 kb, as calculated by pulsed-field electrophoretic separation of fragments digested with the rarely cutting endonucleases SpeI and SwaI. Surveys of DNA content per cell by flow cytometry indicated the existence…
