A Comparison of Two Proofs of Yamamoto's Theorem Relating Eigenvalue Moduli and Singular Values of a Matrix
(2006-12-15)
We examine two proofs of Yamamoto’s theorem regarding the asymptotic relationship
between singular values and eigenvalue moduli of a matrix. The first proof is by T.
Yamamoto in 1967 and makes use of compound matrices. ...
Comparison of Vegetation Types for Prevention of Erosion and Shallow Slope Failure Along Roadways
(2022-08-03)
Shallow slope failures due to erosion are common occurrences along roadways in Alabama due to the prevalence of high intensity rainfall in the region. The use of vegetative covers is a reasonable solution to stabilize newly ...
Comparison of Video Ethnographic Modes for Design Research
(2013-07-08)
Design research is a daunting and time consuming process in which many hours of research is collected through methods such as interviews, surveys, focus groups and visual techniques such as photography and video. This ...
Comparisons Among Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus, Blue Catfish I. furcatus, Channel ♀ × Blue ♂ Hybrid Catfish and Transgenic Channel Catfish for Growth, Cold and Salinity Tolerance
(2017-04-12)
Two studies were performed related to salinity tolerance and the potential effect of climate change on genetic choices for catfish farming. The first study examined the growth rate and survival rate among channel catfish ...
Comparisons of Growth Hormone Transgenic Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), and Channel Catfish Transgenic for Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Knockout Genes Grown in Earthen Ponds at High Density
(2018-11-15)
The objective of the experiment was to compare the growth rate and sexual maturity score of growth hormone transgenic channel catfish, transgenic sterilization channel catfish, and non-transgenic channel catfish at high ...
Compelled to work or forced to? An examination of intraindividual variability in workaholism and the moderating role of challenge / hindrance stressors on positive and negative spillover
(2021-04-21)
While the construct of workaholism has received significant attention in the management and psychology literature, the current conceptualization views workaholism as a trait that is stable over time. This study seeks to ...
Compensatory Behaviors and Alcohol Consumption
(2014-05-02)
Disordered eating and exercise have been linked with alcohol consumption and alcohol related problems. Body image dissatisfaction has been associated with increased alcohol consumption and disordered eating. The present ...
Competing identities: a gendered analysis on the effect of religiosity on homosexual identity formation
(2012-05-17)
This study analyzes the effect of religiosity on homosexual identity formation, focusing specifically on if this effect is different between males and females. Past research has shown that gender and levels of conservativism ...
Competition between Domestic and Imported Farmed Fish - A Demand System Analysis
(2008-08-15)
Monthly data from 1999 through 2007 are used to estimate demand interrelationships between domestic and imported farmed fish. Specifically, a demand model is estimated for four products: imported frozen tilapia fillets, ...
Competition between strains of the bacterial plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa
(2023-04-24)
Understanding the dynamics of interactions among different strains of the bacterial plant
pathogen Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is crucial for preventing, detecting, and mitigating potential
outbreaks. The potential for ...
Competition Graphs
(2012-04-18)
Competition graphs were originally created in 1968 by Biologist Joel Cohen. In this paper we discuss four things. First, the use of linear algebra is considered with connection to competition graphs. Second, we generalize ...
