The effects of alternate-week feeding strategies on growth and feed efficiency ratio of juvenile Nile tilapia were investigated in a recirculating aquaculture system. Twenty fish initially weighing 25.5 g were randomly distributed into each of 18 tanks to conduct three replicates for each of six different feeding strategies. Weight gain of fish in the control that were fed daily for 6-week feeding trial was significantly higher than those of fish subjected to various alternate-week feeding regimes. Weight gain of fish that were starved for 3 weeks and then fed daily for 3 weeks (3WS+3WF) was not significantly different from that of fish, starved and fed daily for alternate 1-week period during the trial (1WS+1WF), but was significantly higher than those of fish starved for 2 weeks, and fed for 2 weeks (2WS+2WF); fish starved for 4 weeks and fed for 2 weeks (4WS+2WF); and fish fed for 5 weeks and fed for 1 week (5WS+1WF.) The amount of feed supplied to fish in the groups of 1WS+1WF and 3WS+3WF was significantly lower than that fed to fish in the control group, but significantly higher than the amount feed supplied to fish in the other three groups. Feed efficiency ratio for fish in the control group did not differ from that for fish in the groups of 1WS+1WF, 2WS+2WF and 3WS+3WF, but was significantly higher than that for fish in the groups of 4WS+2WF and 5WS+1WF. In conclusion, juvenile Nile tilapia that were subject to starvation for 1 to 5 weeks did not exhibit compensatory growth sufficient to attain the same weight as fish fed daily for 6 weeks. In addition, fish subjected to starvation exhibited low feed efficiency ratio compared to fish fed daily, which were probably attributable to poor weight gain.

Let G be a (p, q) graph. Let f be a map from V (G) to {1, 2, ${\ldots}$, p}. For each edge uv, assign the label ${\mid}f(u)-f(\nu){\mid}$. f is called a difference cordial labeling if f is a one to one map and ${\mid}e_f(0)-e_f(1){\mid}{\leq}1$ where $e_f(1)$ and $e_f(0)$ denote the number of edges labeled with 1 and not labeled with 1 respectively. A graph with admits a difference cordial labeling is called a difference cordial graph. In this paper, we investigate the difference cordial labeling behavior of triangular snake, Quadrilateral snake, double triangular snake, double quadrilateral snake and alternate snakes.

1,3-Dipropyloxycalix[4]arene dibenzocrown ethers were synthesized in the fixed 1,3-alternate conformation by the reaction of 1,3-dipropyloxycalix[4]arenes with a dibenzo dimesylates. Complexation toward alkali metal ions using ISEs showed a high cesium selectivity. Conformational flexibility of the corresponding 1,3-alternate calixcrown ether (4) with respect to the NMR time scale is found to depend on the temperature and polarity of the NMR solvent.

Two conformational isomers of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene hexanoate were prepared from the reaction of-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene and hexanoly chloride in the presence of AlCl3 in CH2Cl2 and their structures were determined by NMR spectra and X-ray diffraction as a cone and a 1,3-alternate conformer, respectively. The crystal of cone conformer (C68H96O8·(CH3)2CO) is triclinic, P, a=15.066(1) , b=16.063(1) , c=16.365(1) , α=79.75(2)o, β=109.95(2)o, γ=80.32(0)o, V=3602.7(4) 3, Z=2. The intensity data were collected on Simens SMART diffractometer/CCD area detector. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by least-squares calculations to a final R value of 0.144 for 4638 observed reflections. The molecular conformation is distorted symmetric cone with the flattening A and D phenyl rings. The crystal of 1,3-alternate conformer (C68H96O8·2CHCl3) is orthorhombic, Pca21, a=34.586(5) , b=10.207(3) , c=20.394(4) , V=7199(3) 3, Z=4. The intensity data were collected on an Enraf-Noninus CAD-4 Diffractometer with a graphite monochromated Mo-K radiation. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by least-squares calculations to a final R value of 0.152 for 2241 observed reflections. The molecule has a pseudo mirror symmetric 1,3-alternate conformation.

The conformational preference of tetrahomodioxacalix[4]arenes with three different para substituents on the phenolic ring has been investigated by using ab initio molecular orbital theory (RHF/6-31$G^{\ast}$) and density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31$G^{\ast}$). The stability order is predicted to be cone > C-1,2-alternate > partial cone > 1,3-alternate > COC-1,2-alternate. The distorted cone conformation is found to be most stable in a gas phase and the calculated results are in agreement with the reported $^1$H NMR and X-ray experimental observations. The substitution of methylene with dimethyleneoxa bridges increases the size of the annulus of the molecule, its conformational mobility, and the number of hydrogen bonding patterns. The thermodynamic stability and the conformational characteristics of tetrahomodioxacalix[4]arenes are discussed in regards of the number of phenolic hydrogen bonding patterns and the polarity of a molecule. The substituent effects on the para position of the phenolic ring are also introduced.

Increasing demand of energy, the depletion of fossil fuel reserves, energy security and the climate change have forced us to look upon alternate energy resources. For today's electric vehicles that run on lithium-ion batteries, one of the biggest downsides is the limited range between recharging. Over the past several years, researchers have been working on lithium-air battery. These batteries could significantly increase the range of electric vehicles due to their high energy density, which could theoretically be equal to the energy density of gasoline. Li-air batteries are potentially viable ultra-high energy density chemical power sources, which could potentially offer specific energies up to 3000 $Whkg^{-1}$ being rechargeable. This paper provides a review on Lithium air battery as alternate energy resource for the future.

This study investigated the effects of a spur dike on the development processes, the migration, and the wave length of alternate bars with laboratory experiments. The bar wave length was shown to be shorter as the spur dikes got longer. The forcing effects of a long spur dike on the behavior of alternate bars were stronger than those of a shorter one. However, the bar height was not affected by the variation of the length of a spur dike. The bar migration speed was in inverse proportion to the bar wave length.

We have investgated UV-Vis absorbance to observe the photoisomerization using the mixture solutions in chloroform and LB monolayers mixed with DLPE and 8A5H containing azobenzene which showed reversible cis-trans photoisomerization irradiated by alternate lights. We have found that the absorbance spectrums of the mixture solutions and LB monolayers were reversibly induced to cis-trans photoisomerization irradiated by alternate lights. In addition, the absorbance of both solution and LB monolayer mixed with 8A5H and DLPE were reversibly by alternate temperatures. As a results, the 1:1(by volume) mixture ratio of 8A5H and DLPE was more flexible and reversible cis-trans photoisomerization than the others.

Carcinosarcoma is an uncommon pulmonary malignancy characterized by carcinomatous parenchyma and sarcomatous stroma. Pulmonary carcinosarcoma represented about 1% of the resected lung tumors. The predominant clinical features are productive cough, chest pain, dyspnea, hemoptysis, bronchiectasis, and atelectasis, but alternate atelectasis is rare. We report a case of pulmonary carcinosarcoma associated with alternate atelectasis of the right upper and lower lobe.

To reduce the amount of chemical fungicides and the number of spray for the control of Alternaria blight of ginseng, biofungicides were used in order to reduce the residue and ensure the safety of ginseng plants. The control efficiencies were 68.34%$\sim$73.56% against Alternaria blight in 2 times alternate spray of biofungicides and chemical fungicide at 14 days interval whereas the control efficiencies were 87.00%$\sim$89.42% in 2 times alternate spray of 3 different kinds of chemical fungicides at 14 days interval. In case of treatment combination the control efficiencies were 74.53%$\sim$87.23% in alternate spray of mixture of biofungicides and chemical fungicides at 28 days interval in all combinations except 2 kinds of combinations (Com-12 and Com-17). Therefore, the alternate application of the biofungicides and chemical fungicides or alternate application of mixture of biofungicides and chemical fungicides could reduce the amount of chemical fungicide about 75.00%$\sim$83.33%.
