Comparison of Semi-Captive and Wild Gray-Shanked Douc Langurs’ (Pygathrix Cinerea) Activity Budgets
… 16-12-03 I studied four male gray-shanked Douc (GSD) langurs (<em>Pygathrix cinerea</em>) in a semi-captive environment and compared results to wild GSD langurs that were studied from 2006-2008. The semi-captive GSD langurs live at the Endangered Primate Rescue Center (EPRC) in Cúc Phương …

Effect of cover crops on suppressing soilborne diseases of soybean and the association of green stem disorder with anthracnose, charcoal rot, and soil moisture
… community structure shifts. Green stem disorder (GSD) of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is an abnormal condition in which soybean stems stay moist and immature after pods and leaves have fully dried and matured. Delayed maturity of soybean stems has not been found to cause yield loss; however, …

Vanishing Act: Lymphatic Vessels and Disappearing Bones
… anomaly (GLA) and Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) are related diseases of the lymphatic system. Patients with GLA or GSD develop ectopic lymphatic vessels in bone and gradually lose bone. Despite growing interest in the development of tissue-specific lymphatics, the cellular origin of bone …

Soybean disease research on green stem disorder, effects of seed treatments on Sclerotinia stem rot, and resistance to Cercospora leaf blight
… maturity malady known as green stem disorder (GSD) is the occurrence of non-senescent, fleshy green stems at harvest maturity with normal, fully mature pods and seeds. Data on GSD incidence were collected for 1090 soybean cultivars from 2009 to 2012 at seven locations throughout Illinois. Data …

Straight Teachers' Perception of Queer Pedagogy: Saskatchewan High School Educators' Respond to Inclusive Pedagogy & Curriculum for Gender and Sexually Diverse Youth
… marginalization of gender and sexually diverse (GSD) youth, leading to lower graduation rates, mental health issues and even suicide. The purpose of this qualitative study is to develop a deeper understanding of how heterosexual, Saskatchewan teachers approach, understand and bring awareness to …

The Effect of Learning Communities on Freshman Student Retention Rates and GPA at a Public 4-Year Institution of Higher Education
<p>This study examined the effect of GSD 101 Learning Communities (a cohort program for freshmen at Eastern Kentucky University) on the retention and first-year grade point average of first-time, full-time freshmen at the university. The study specifically examined students enrolled in GSD 101Z and …

Next Generation Multifunctional Composites for Impact, Vibration and Electromagnetic Radiation Hazard Mitigation
… developed method graphitic structures by design (GSD) offers the opportunity to place CNTs in advantageous areas of the composite (e.g., at the ply interface) where conventional fiber architectures are inadequate. The relatively low temperature of the GSD (i.e. 550 C) suppresses the undesired …

A probabilistic approach to a classical result of ore
… Here we introduce a new notion of probability gsd(G) in which two arbitrary sublattices S(G) and T(G) of L(G) are involved simultaneously. In case S(G) = T(G) = L(G), we find exactly sd(G). Upper and lower bounds in terms of gsd(G) and sd(G) are among our main contributions, when the condition …

Investigation of the barium enema x-ray examination as a significant contributor to the genetically-significant dose from diagnostic radiology
… indicated that the genetically-significant dose (GSD) for the white, female population in South Africa was considerably higher than the GSD for females in Great Britain, France and the United States of America. Further to this finding, Maree's study demonstrated that the barium enema x-ray …

Regime map development for co-rotating twin screw granulation
… suggested that the optimal granulation (narrow GSD (granule size distribution) and large mean granule size) can be achieved with a higher LS (Liquid-to-solid) ratio and a higher screw speed. The GSD was found further improved by reprocessing the same granules and/or manufacturing with aggressive …
