Estimating Key Largo woodrat abundance using spatially explicit capture–recapture and trapping point transects by Joanne M. Potts, Stephen T. Buckland, Len Thomas, Anne Savage

“…In this particular study, detectability of the woodrat using TPT was very low and consequently the SECR method was more efficient. Both methods require a substantial investment in survey effort to detect any change in abundance because of large uncertainty in estimates. © 2016 The Wildlife Society.…”

Exploring the relationship between students´ experiences with online payment methods and financial competencies using a Bayesian nonparametric approach by José Manuel Cordero, Lucía Mateos-Romero

“…Results Our findings suggest that our variable of interest does not have a significant impact on the financial literacy performance of the students in our sample. Examining its interactive effect with other indicators, however, we observe that experience in the use of online payment methods does have a definite positive influence among students from more socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.…”

Introduction: Titanium alloys containing the β phase have much better corrosion resistance. Some alloying elements, such as Mo, stabilize this phase. Among the Ti alloys that contain this element, the Ti-10Mo alloy is of particular importance. If this alloy is produced using selective laser melting (SLM), it will be an approach that is user-friendly due to the nature of the process. Methods: Samples were printed by SLM process. The constituent phases were determined by XRD. The microstructure was evaluated using optical and scanning electron microscopes. Corrosion behavior was evaluated by cyclic potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Findings: In the XRD pattern of pure Ti powder and printed sample, α and α/α' phases are seen, respectively. However, Ti-10Mo powder mixture consists of α and Mo phases, the β phase is more dominant in printed sample because of the Mo penetration in the Ti matrix.... by Arezoo Pourshoja, karim Avak, Maziyar Azadbeh, Mohamadreza Etminanfar, Mehdi Ojaghi

EVALUTION THE MICROBIAL METHOD USED TO JUDGE THE QUALITY CONTROL OF PASTEURIZED MILK by Khazal Shaaban Abdallah, Ghanim Mahmood Hasan

“…While the results showed in the way of standard plate count, although it is used along time of incubation they are calculated only living cells and the total count of bacteria less than in direct microscopic count range between 15x104 to 17x105 cfu/ml in the pasturide milk directly . in direct microscopic count While the dyes reduction test gave unacceptable results due to rapid contamination in milk and the count of the bacteria ranged between 35x105 to 150x105cfu/ml then the number of the bacteria increase with the increase of the period of the storage .the relationship between the method dyes reduction  test and the standard plate count to judge the quality of raw milk , as the samples were good at the 1% level for statistical analysis while the samples stored when using the method of nitrates dyes reduction , the relationship level less than the quality of milk at a level of statistical analysis of 5% in judging the quality of milk .the samples of the milk divided to two groups the first one contain bacteria less than 50x103 cfu/ml and the other contain more than 50x 103 cfu/ml we find that the samples contain bacteria less than 50x103cfu/ml needs more time to reduce the pigments.…”
