Mechanisms Involved in Enhanced Protection Against Gram Negative Bacterium Francisella tularensis Utilizing an FcR Targeted Vaccine Platform
<p>Francisella tularensis is a gram-negative intracellular bacterium and the etiologic factor of a potentially fatal disease tularemia. Due to its high infectivity the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has designated F. tularensis as a Category A biological agent. Nevertheless, the …

Nurse Perspectives on Family-Centred Rounds in Adult Critical Care Units
… in care is important. Family-centred rounds (FCR) are often seen as a component of family-centred care. Nurses have an important role in implementing FCR and their active participation is crucial. There is currently a lack of rigorous literature that explores nursing perspectives of FCR in …

Understanding the Mechanisms that Determine Feed Conversion Ratio in Chinook Salmon – Physiological and Behavioural Aspects
… be reduced by improving feed conversion ratio (FCR), the ratio of feed intake to weight gain. The aim of this thesis was to identify key factors that influence individual FCR variation in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Feed efficient and inefficient Chinook salmon, in freshwater and …

Determination of methionine and lysine requirements of growing broilers using the Ideal Protein Concept
… body weight (BW) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) (P¡Ü0.05). Significant interactions were also observed between Lys and added Met in response to these parameters (P¡Ü0.05). There were differences in the estimated ratios of Met or total sulfur amino acids (TSAA) to Lys required for optimizing …

Hypolimnetic Oxygenation Mitigates the Effects of Nutrient Loading on Water Quality in a Eutrophic Reservoir
… water quality in Falling Creek Reservoir (FCR), a shallow, eutrophic, drinking water reservoir. I found that SSS operation successfully increased hypolimnetic oxygen concentrations in FCR and suppressed internal loading of iron, manganese, and phosphorus. In Chapter 2, I manipulated inflow …

Mechanism of lipid disorder in HIV infection: apolipoprotein-B kinetics, fat distribution, insulin resistance and adipocytokines in patients taking protease inhibitors or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
… The apo-B fractional clearance rate (FCR) was reduced in the HIV positive groups. Peripheral fat was lower in treated patients and correlated with duration of therapy. There was a positive correlation between peripheral fat and apo-B clearance rate and a negative correlation with apo-B …

The Effects of a Single Strain Bacillus subtilis DFM on pullet performance, laying hen performance, and egg quality when fed from day of hatch until 70 weeks
… resulted in reduced feed intake, improved FCRm with both similar body weights (P = 0.98) and body composition (P > 0.05) to the control fed pullets. At 17 weeks, 72 birds were randomly selected from each treatment and moved to 12 laying hen cages. At the end of the 52-week laying hen phase, …

A Spatial Analysis of 24HL1085: A Prehistoric Site in the Bear's Paw Mountains
… lithics, faunal remains, and fire cracked rock (FCR). I also wanted to show that understanding the spatial layout of FCR is just as important as understanding the spatial layout of lithics and faunal remains. In order to complete this analysis the three ring model developed by Stevenson (1985) …

The perceived impact of financial condition reporting on the structute of the shortterm insurance indusrty in South Africa
Financial Condition Reporting (FCR), which is set to be implemented in 2008, promises some of the most significant changes to solvency regulation in the history of the short-term insurance industry in South Africa.The purpose of this study was to assess the perceived impact that this new regulation …

Utilizing Recurrent Neural Networks for Temporal Data Generation and Prediction
The Falling Creek Reservoir (FCR) in Roanoke is monitored for water quality and other key measurements to distribute clean and safe water to the community. Forecasting these measurements is critical for management of the FCR. However, current techniques are limited by inherent Gaussian linearity …

Dynamic system modeling and decision support for grow-finish swine barn operation
… average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), total utility cost (TUC), and marginal utility cost (MUC) for the growing cycle. A case study in Ames, Iowa, was conducted for sensitivity analysis of both heating (Jan - Mar) and cooling seasons (May - Oct) in 2013 to evaluate the potential …

I'm So Happy, But Also Terrified: The Experiences of Women with a History of Cancer During the Perinatal Period
… particularly fears of cancer recurrence (FCR). While previous research has established the robust relationship between FCR and family matters (e.g., fertility and motherhood), there remains a paucity of information about how a cancer history affects womens psychological functioning …

A Forty-Nine Day Evaluation of Bio-Mos® Replacement of Roxarsone in a Commerically Based Broiler Feeding Program
… weight gains (BWG) and lower feed conversion (FCR) from day 0 to 49 than challenged birds (P < 0.05). Jejunal crypt depth was increased in challenged broilers compared to non-challenged broilers at 28 days-of-age (P < 0.05). From day 0 to 35, ROX birds had lower BWG and FI than BIO and BIO+LAC …
