Feed chemical composition is associated with methane (CH4) formation in the rumen, and thus CH4 yields (Ym; CH4 emitted from per unit of dry matter intake) could be predicted using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) of feeds fed to ruminants.Two databases of NIRS data were compiled from feeds used in experiments in which CH4 yields had b
Is TIMSS Advanced an appropriate instrument for evaluating mathematical performance at the advanced level of Norwegian upper secondary school? An analysis of curriculum documents and assessment items
Given that the results of international large-scale achievement studies attract a lot of attention and may affect educational policies, Country Art the primary aim of the present study is to discuss the appropriateness of the mathematics tests developed for the two cycles of TIMSS Advanced for evaluating the mathematical performance of Norwegian up
Scale-invariant two-component dark matter
Abstract We study a scale-invariant KItchen Bin extension of the standard model which can simultaneously explain dark matter and the hierarchy problem.In our set-up, we introduce a scalar and a spinor as two-component dark matter in addition to a scalon field as a mediator.An interesting point about our model is that due to scale-invariant conditio
Long term porosity of solid electrolyte interphase on model silicon anodes with liquid battery electrolytes
Abstract A stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is of great importance for battery electrodes in terms of cycling as well as for its shelf life.While KItchen Bin SEI formation on silicon anodes is generally only studied after the first charge and discharge of cells and initial reaction of electrolyte, we show the formation of a liquid/solid SE
