Little experimental research has investigated how attitudes are formed via direct personal experience within risky environments.This report summarizes the development of Treasure Island (TI), an attitude learning paradigm based on BeanFest.Two studies are reported: The first designed to compare the outcomes of TI with BeanFest ; the second to show
Dust exposure and health of workers in duck hatcheries
Objectives The objectives of this cross-sectional study were to investigate dust exposure and respiratory health of workers in duck hatcheries in western France.Material and Methods Ninety volunteer workers, who work in sorting rooms and/or incubation rooms, participated in exposure assessments and medical examinations.Medical examinations were per
A Research on the Responsibility of Accounting Professionals to Determine and Prevent Accounting Errors and Frauds: Edirne Sample
In this study, the ethical dimensions of accounting professionals related to accounting errors and frauds were examined.Firstly, general and technical information about accounting were provided.Then, some terminology on error, fraud and ethics in accounting were discussed.Study also included recent statistics about accounting errors and fraud as we
Construction of a High-Density Linkage Map and QTL Fine Mapping for Growth- and Sex-Related Traits in Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)
A high-density genetic linkage map is of particular importance in the fine mapping for important economic traits and whole genome assembly in aquaculture species.The channel 3D Stereoscopic mask catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), a species native to North America, is one of the most important commercial freshwater fish in the world.Outside of the Unite
Snow avalanches algorithm (SAA): A new optimization algorithm for engineering applications
This paper proposes a novel efficient inspired algorithm based on snow avalanches in nature which is named the Snow Avalanches Algorithm (SAA), for solving the benchmark and engineering optimization problems and determining the global solution.The proposed algorithm is modeled using four phases including avalanche due to mountain slope, human facto
