The Potential for Refeeding Syndrome in Broiler Breeders
(2017-07-27)
Sudden death at the initial point of lay in broiler breeders has long been an under-researched issue that results in a mortality of 0.5%-2% from 5%-30% egg production in breeder females. This mortality has been labeled as ...
Potential Influence of Climate Variations, Water Quality and Soil Quality on Uganda’s Aquaculture
(2018-09-28)

Potential Negative Effects of Adding Phosphate-Based Fertilizers to Lead In Metal-Contaminated Soils
(2007-08-15)
The potential negative effects of adding phosphate amendments for lead (Pb) remediation in Pb-contaminated soils were studied using column and batch experiments. Soils contaminated with high levels of lead as well as ...
Potential of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as a biological control agent against warm-season turfgrass pests
(2014-05-02)
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are non-pathogenic, beneficial bacteria that colonize seeds and roots of plants to enhance plant growth. Despite work in agronomic crops, there has been little emphasis on ...
Potential Predictability of Streamflow and Soil Moisture in a Humid Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa River Basin using the National Water Model
(2019-11-25)
This study investigates predictability of daily streamflow and soil moisture in the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACT) river basin in southeastern United States. The study employs the state-of-the-art National Water Model ...
Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use and Access to Medication Management Services in Older Adults Living with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia
(2023-05-03)
Background: Older adults living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) have a higher risk of using potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) than those without ADRD. Even though Medication Therapy Management ...
Pour Decisions: The Relationship Between Intoxication, Free-Pour Accuracy, and Subjective Impairment
(2019-04-23)
Reducing risk associated with college student drinking is a major public health concern. The free-pour assessment has the potential to inform interventions aimed at reducing risks associated with college student drinking. ...
Power and Performance Optimization of Static CMOS Circuits with Process Variation
(2007-08-15)
With the continuing trend of technology scaling, leakage power has become a main contributor to power consumption. Dual threshold (dual-Vth) assignment has emerged as an efficient technique for decreasing leakage power. ...
Power Control for Underlay Cognitive Radio Networks with Full-duplex Transmissions
(2014-03-31)
Radio communication, one of core contents in wireless communication, is facing a great crisis of running out of resource. Unlike other energy crisis which can be solved by using all kinds of alternative energy, the only ...
