The traditional formulation of logit models applied to transport demand assumes a compensatory (indirect) utility function in which the consumers’ strategy assumes a tradeoff between attributes. Several authors have ...

The present study evaluated the effects of different fasting periods on survival rate, growth, muscle development and compensatory growth in pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) larvae. In Phase I, larvae (5 days post hatching, ...

We evaluated growth performance and metabolic responses in Nile tilapia (Oreochromic niloticus) juveniles (30.2 ± 0.9 g) subjected to 1 (F1), 2 (F2), or 3 weeks (F3) of fasting and then refed for 10 weeks (10WR) compared ...

Constraining knee flexion of non-disabled individuals could further our understanding regarding the importance of knee joint during gait, which is a common disturbance in individuals with gait impairment. In this study we ...

Developing nutritional strategies that can reduce production costs for the fish industry without affecting productive performance is paramount to make the activity sustainable. We investigated if short-term cycles of feed ...

The aim of this study was to examine postural control in children with cerebral palsy performing a bilateral shoulder flexion to grasp a ball from a sitting posture. The participants were 12 typically developing children ...

Feeding restriction, as a trigger for compensatory growth, might be considered an alternative viable strategy for minimizing waste as well as production costs. The study assessed whether juvenile redclaw crayfish Cherax ...

Benthic conspecific cues are used by competent larvae of many marine invertebrates to locate and settle on suitable habitat. However, aggregations of conspecifics can generate strong intraspecific competition and inter-cohort ...

We evaluated the effect of a 30-day fast followed by 30 days of feeding on the dynamics of energy mobilization and the growth performance in juvenile pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus). Pacu is a freshwater fish known for its ...
