Negotiating learner identity in an educational partnership: a qualitative study of pupils learning collaboratively in a school and FEC in Northern Ireland
… to 19-year-olds. As Further Education Colleges (FECs) have traditionally proffered vocational education, they have a specific role to play in this regard. <br/><br/>Whilst there is a plethora of research into collaboration between schools, there is a lack of data on school-FEC collaboration. This …

Patterns of helminth and protozoan parasite infections in bighorn sheep, Ovis canadensis: sex, season and activity
… this is an observational study, I will be using fecal egg counts (FEC) in terms of eggs per 4 grams (EP4G) as a proxy for susceptibility/tolerance. Furthermore, when individuals have higher parasite FEC, they may need to spend more time grazing and ruminating to ensure enough energy to be able to …

Genetics of resistance to Haemonchus contortus infections in sheep
… individually dosed with approximately 10,000 infective larvae. After infection, body weight (BW), fecal egg counts (FEC) and packed cell volume (PCV) were measured weekly for 7 wk in lambs and fortnightly for eleven wk in ewes. Summary traits were defined as initial PCV, mean BW (MBW) across all …
