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 ...
Complete Replacement of Soybean Meal in Pig Diets with Hydrolyzed Feather Meal with Blood by Amino Acid Supplementation Based on Standardized Ileal Digestibility
(2013-03-28)
The current study was conducted to examine the possibility of completely replacing soybean meal (SBM) with hydrolyzed feather meal with blood (FM) by supplementing with appropriate AA based on standardized ileal digestible ...
The Complete Solution of the Intersection Problem for Maximum Packings of K_n with Triples
(2018-07-03)
In the late 1980's the intersection problem for maximum packings of K_n with triples was solved by Hoffman, Lindner, and Quattrocchi. Their combined results showed that for any n = i mod(6) such that i in { 0, 2, 4, 5} the ...
Completeness Properties in Function Spaces with the Compact-Open Topology
(2014-05-01)
It is an open problem to characterize those spaces X for which the compact-open topology C_k(X) has various completeness properties. It is conjectured that C_k(X) is Baire if and only if X has the moving off property. ...
Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: An Investigation Using Factor Mixture Modeling
(2017-06-21)
It has long been established that the experience of traumatic events can result in pathological distress. Some of these reactions, such as hyperarousal or the avoidance of trauma-related cues, are recognized as prototypical ...
