Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncorporation of Cellulose into a Chew Treat for Dogs Increases Elasticity and Chewing TimeA. C. BeynenProblem statement: We have reported earlier that administration of a treat containing a special cellulose preparation (Arbocel BWW40®), instead of a control treat without cellulose, diminishes the clinical signs of periodontal disease in dogs. Based on the physical characteristics of cellulose preparation, we hypothesized that treats with cellulose have greater elasticity and induce longer chewing time, leading to more mechanical … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 20 Oct 2011 · 7,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Dispositional Factors and Work-Family Conflict on Job Satisfaction among Single Mother EmployeesAminah Ahmad, Noryati NgahProblem statement: Few studies have tested the indirect effects of dispositional factors including perfectionism and locus of control on job satisfaction through work-family conflict. Approach: This study examined the indirect effects of perfectionism and locus of control on job satisfaction through work-family conflict. The sample consisted of 159 single mother employees. Data were gathered using self-administered questionnaires. The data were … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 1 Oct 2011 · 7,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClinical Signs of Hairballs in Cats Fed a Diet Enriched with CelluloseA. C. Beynen, J. Middelkoop, D. H.J. SarisProblem statement: The intake of cellulose may delay gastric emptying and raise the intestinal transit rate. These effects could antagonize hairball formation. Thus, it was hypothesized that a diet enriched with a cellulose preparation (Arbocel BWW40®), forming a completely insoluble fiber network, would diminish the severity of clinical symptoms of hairballs in cats. Approach: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 8 Aug 2011 · 11,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Dietary Curcumin on Rumen Fermentation, Macronutrient Digestion and Nitrogen Balance in Beef CattleT. Vorlaphim, M. Phonvisay, J. Khotsakdee et al.Abstract: Problem statement: Previous studies have shown that curcumin has antibacterial activity. It was hypothesized that the feeding of curcumin to ruminants may disturb rumen function and affect macronutrient digestibility and nitrogen utilization. Approach: In an experiment with Latin-square design, beef cattle were fed rations consisting of urea-treated rice straw and concentrates without or with 0.1 or 0.2% added curcumin. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Jul 2011 · 9,152 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndividualization Training of Players on Positions at the Level of Handball Junior TeamsPitigoi GabrielProblem statement: Starting from the observation that for the handball players, who finished the junior state in hard to integrate in senior teams due to a low level of preparation. I hypothesized that at this level we can use all organizational forms of individual training (frontal relation, group level, individual).Using individual records, performance behavior characteristics of the players to positions, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 16 Jul 2011 · 7,230 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening Neuropharmacological Activities of Kaempferia parviflora (Krachai Dam) in Healthy Adult Male RatsThaneeya Hawiset, Supaporn Muchimapura, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Bungorn SripanidkulchaiProblem statement: Although the global prevalence of psychological disorders is increasing continually, the efficacies of therapeutic strategies are still very limited. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders and substance possessing antioxidant activity can alleviate the mentioned conditions. Therefore, we hypothesized that Kaempferia parviflora, a medicinal plant claimed for nerve tonic, also possessed the neuropharmacological activities … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary Lysine: Calorie Ratios and Their Influence on Nitrogen Metabolism and Digestibility in Moderately Obese Mature DogsTrista Reeder, Greg Hibbard, Kyle R. McLeod, David L. HarmonProblem statement: A goal during weight loss is to reduce body fat while maintaining body protein. We hypothesized that an increased dietary lysine: calorie might be beneficial during periods of caloric restriction. Approach: Two experiments were conducted to determine if changing the ratio of lysine: calories (lysine g/kg: Mcal ME/kg) while maintaining an ideal profile of amino acids will change … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2011 · 8,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrogeological Prognosis with Regard to Realisation of the New Colle Di Tenda Road TunnelCinzia Banzato, Massimo Vincenzo Civita, Adriano Fiorucci et al.Problem statement: The doubling of Tenda pass road tunnel jointing SW France to Piedmont (Italy) was planned to penetrate a complicate rock structure in which several complex play an hydrogeologic role including carbonate-Karst aquifer between flysch impervious complexes. The main problem of the project is the presence of an hydraulic circulation feeding a spring of social and economic great importance … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,363 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Laboratory Study of Curiosity Behavior in Feedback-Based DecisionsTakemi FujikawaProblem statement: This study adopts an interdisciplinary approach in conducting the study on "curiosity" with a toolset of experimental economics. Approach: I hypothesized that the Decision Makers (DMs) tended to exhibit curiosity behavior when two conditions were met: (1) The DMs faced "small feedback-based" decision problems; (2) The DMs bore tangible costs of their curiosity behavior. Results: This study was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Sense of Progression and Cognitive Distance on Path Choice and Walking Behavior While Aiming To Reach DestinationMohammad Paydar, Samira RamezaniProblem statement: Studies focused on walking behavior have indicated the relationship of different factors of built environment with walking to reach destination and walking for recreation. Furthermore, according to literature on path choice behavior, there is a relationship between walking behavior and path choice of pedestrians. Empirical studies on path choice behavior have also shown that the effects of different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,162 accessesView PDFCite
