Abstract University athletics because of its reporting structure, regulation by the NCAA, and relationship to the academic enterprise of institutions, provides a unique look into postsecondary institutional behavior. Using a difference-in-difference design, this study tests the introduction of new television networks dedicated to college sports on institutional subsidy levels for athletics. Overall, our findings show that institutions are responsive to the introduction of new college-sports-dedicated television networks. When considering institutions in the Power Five athletic conferences, we find an average decline in subsidy levels of approximately $1.2 million. When considering different types of subsidies, we find significant declines in direct subsidies and student fees, but no significant change for indirect subsidies.

Distributing different types of fertilizer more accurately and evenly necessary in experimental plots. In probe parcels the more and more precise labour quality demands require mechanization of experiments. A solution is offered to mechanization of distributing fertilizer on probe parcels. A new plot fertilizer distributor was designed and built. I outline here the principle of working of the plot fertilizer. The unevenness of spreading of each type is significantly influenced by the tilt of the cone-belt dispenser from vertical position. A test-bench was collected to measure the aberrations. The measurement proves that only a few degree deviation results in significant change in the unevenness of dispensing.

Several researchers have investigated the knowledge of the causes of moon phases and how to promote the scientific understanding of these phases. However, these scholars did not determine whether this learning was transferred to the following education. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of two different types of education on the transfer of learning with regard to astronomy content. No significant change in the understanding of the moon’s phases was observed between the groups, but a significant change in the transfer scores of the groups was observed. This result could indicate that the education increased the participants’ understanding of moon phases and that the participants in the simulation group were able to more adequately transfer their knowledge. The alternative conceptions of the causes of the moon phases were transferred to the context of the earth’s phases. In other words, alternative conceptions are transferred to new learning situations. Therefore, the alternative conceptions that the participants hold should be carefully observed when new learning is transferred. Key words: earth phases, moon phases, pre-service teacher, simulations, transfer.

The 19Th Century

Abstract The article focuses on the issue of agricultural soil sealing in the Dolní Věstonice and Modřice cadastres (South Moravian Region). Available data and map resources were used for this purpose (historical and up-to-date). Data was processed using manual digitalisation which helped to generate the needed map output. The decrease in area of agricultural land is analysed in individual periods starting in the year 1824 (source of data stable cadastre - the first half of the 19th century) until the present, and the sealing of different types of plots and soil kinds is assessed according to Evaluated Soil-Ecological Units (ESEU). In most cases, agricultural land sealing is associated with municipal expansion. To compare future development, potential (forthcoming) agricultural land sealing proposed within the valid landscape plans was also explored. Likewise, the overall price of sealed plots in both locations was calculated. The results show that there was a significant change in the use of both model territories between 1824 and the present. In Modřice, the area of the built-up area was changed from 16 ha (1824) to 409 ha (2016). The area of the site has expanded from 90% to agricultural land. The most significant change in this area is the development of builtup areas on agricultural land. In the model territory of Dolní Věstonice, the area of the built-up area increased from 16 ha (1824) to 48 ha (2016). The area of the site has expanded from 70% to agricultural land. Due to the construction of water reservoirs “Nové Mlýny”, the area of water bodies increased by 569 ha (during the period 1824- 2016). The water reservoirs occupy 65% of the cadastral area of Dolní Věstonice. The most significant change in landscape is the increase in water areas in Dolní Věstonice. Should this trend persist, an extensive reduction in agricultural soil and ensuing problems associated with sustainable agriculture, potentially also deficient food resources must be anticipated.

Background: Addition silicone elastomers are the most commonly used impression materials for making final impression for fpd, implants and rpd. The dimensional stability and accuracy of addition silicone impression material are influenced by the storage time, temperature and repeat pour. Aim and Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of two different types of addition silicone elastomeric impression materials, stored at a different temperature. To evaluate the accuracy of two different types of addition silicone elastomeric impression materials, after delayed and repeated pour. To compare the linear dimensions of two different types of addition silicone elastomeric impression materials with a control die. Materials and Methods: A machined standard steel master die and metal custom impression tray was made for making a final impression of machined standard steel master die. Final impression was made by using two different brands of addition silicone impression materials (Aquasil Ultra Impression material, Dentsply/ Caulk, Milford, D & 3M ESPE). Double step putty light body impression technique was used for making final impression. In this manner total numbers of 80 impressions were made and they were divided into two groups Group I and Group II. To study the effect of delayed pours and storage temperature were divided into 4 sub-groups, 10 impressions each. All the ten impressions of each sub groups were stored at 40°C in acrylizer, 24 hours at -10°C, 48 hours at -2°C and 1 week respectively at 0°C inside a refrigerator in a sealed plastic bags before been poured with type IV die stone. To study the effect of repeat pours on the accuracy of stone casts, all ten impressions of each sub groups was immediately re poured with type IV die stone after the removal of first set of casts. Thus again a fresh set of 80 cats were obtained having 40 casts belongs to each group. Results: When impressions were stored at 40°C in acrylizer, 24 hours at -10°C, 48 hours at -2°C and 1 week respectively at 0°C addition silicone impression materials did not show any significant change when compared to control samples. Conclusion: Both types of addition silicone elastomeric impression materials maintained their accuracy after delayed poured and repeat pours. Storing impressions under different conditions caused no adverse effect upon the accuracy of both types of addition silicone elastomeric impression materials. There was no significant change in the dimensions of stone casts obtained from both impression materials as compared to the dimensions of a master die. If addition silicone impression material is delayed pour up to 1 week, repeat pour and exposed from -10°C to 40°C in that clinical situation also linear dimensional accuracy will not be adversely effected.

The evaluation of gingerol as medical entities in Iraq and Jamaica cultivatedginger was done in this experiment. Two different types of cultivated ginger(Iraq and Jamaica) of the same species (Zingiber officinal) were extracted toachieve the subject of this study. Extraction was performed by two differentstages: the first stage preparative and extraction. Harvested ginger was preparedfor extraction by wash, denotation, drying, grinding, and extracting by acetoneunder heating. The second stage is separation by two steps via TLC and HPLC.The quality and quantity of oleoresin and gingerol in each step of separationwere checked by spots diameter and RF value of spot migration in TLC gingercompounds and quality of whole extract and number of peak in HPLC as well asquantity of gingerol after HPLC separation was done for both Iraqi and Jamaicaginger. The results of comparison between cultivated ginger of Iraq and Jamaicashowed significant decrease (P<0.05) in quantity of extracts and spot diameterof oleoresin where as no significant change (P<0.05) in gingerol quantities byHPLC separation was found in Iraqi species. These results showed no effect ofdifferent cultivation conditions of both peak Jamaica and Iraq species onmedical entities of ginger content of gingerol.

The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj&gt; 0 for eachj&gt; 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.

Abstract We argue that Tomasello's account overlooks important psychological distinctions between how humans judge different types of moral obligations, such as prescriptive obligations (i.e., what one should do) and proscriptive obligations (i.e., what one should not do). Specifically, evaluating these different types of obligations rests on different psychological inputs and has distinct downstream consequences for judgments of moral character.

Complete Interpretation

Previous freeze fracture results on the intact giant, amoeba Chaos carolinensis indicated the presence of a fibrillar arrangement of filaments within the cytoplasm. A complete interpretation of the three dimensional ultrastructure of these structures, and their possible role in amoeboid movement was not possible, since comparable results could not be obtained with conventional fixation of intact amoebae. Progress in interpreting the freeze fracture images of amoebae required a more thorough understanding of the different types of filaments present in amoebae, and of the ways in which they could be organized while remaining functional.The recent development of a calcium sensitive, demembranated, amoeboid model of Chaos carolinensis has made it possible to achieve a better understanding of such functional arrangements of amoeboid filaments. In these models the motility of demembranated cytoplasm can be controlled in vitro, and the chemical conditions necessary for contractility, and cytoplasmic streaming can be investigated. It is clear from these studies that “fibrils” exist in amoeboid models, and that they are capable of contracting along their length under conditions similar to those which cause contraction in vertebrate muscles.

Different Cell Types

Various types of intermediate-sized (10-nm) filaments have been found and described in many different cell types during the past few years. Despite the differences in the chemical composition among the different types of filaments, they all yield common structural features: they are usually up to several microns long and have a diameter of 7 to 10 nm; there is evidence that they are made of several 2 to 3.5 nm wide protofilaments which are helically wound around each other; the secondary structure of the polypeptides constituting the filaments is rich in ∞-helix. However a detailed description of their structural organization is lacking to date.

Different Types

In polyethylene single crystals pairs of black and white lines spaced 700-3,000Å apart, parallel to the [100] and [010] directions, have been identified as microsector boundaries. A microsector is formed when the plane of chain folding changes over a small distance within a polymer crystal. In order for the different types of folds to accommodate at the boundary between the 2 fold domains, a staggering along the chain direction and a rotation of the chains in the plane of the boundary occurs. The black-white contrast from a microsector boundary can be explained in terms of these chain rotations. We demonstrate that microsectors can terminate within the crystal and interpret the observed terminal strain contrast in terms of a screw dislocation dipole model.
