Open AccessGonad development in farmed male and female South African abalone, Haliotis midae, fed artificial and natural diets under a range of husbandry conditions
Growth rate is one of the most important factors in the farming of Haliotis midae, and somatic growth rates decline after abalone reach sexual maturity. Artificial diets are suspected to accelerate maturation, in...

Practical Distributed Implementation of Very Large Scale Petri Net Simulations
With the continued increase of size and complexity of contemporary digital systems, there is a growing need for models of large size and high complexity, as well as methods of analyzing such models. This paper...

Supplementation with a prebiotic (polydextrose) in obese mouse pregnancy improves maternal glucose homeostasis and protects against offspring obesity
We hypothesised that maternal diet-induced-obesity has adverse consequences for offspring energy expenditure and susceptibility to obesity in adulthood, and that the prebiotic polydextrose (PDX) would prevent ...

Behavioural responses of farmed South African abalone Haliotis midae L. to disturbances caused by husbandry procedures
The South African abalone, Haliotis midae L., is an important mariculture species. In the natural environment, abalone move and migrate to new sites to escape from disturbances. This is the first study that teste...

Lazy Generation of Canonical Test Programs
Property-based testing can be a highly effective form of lightweight verification, but it relies critically on the method used to generate test cases. If we wish to test properties of compilers and related too...

Expressible sharing for functional circuit description
We consider the design of a circuit description library for a pure functional language where circuits are defined as functions and connected together by writing applicative expressions. Just like the return va...

The Reduceron: Widening the von Neumann Bottleneck for Graph Reduction Using an FPGA
For the memory intensive task of graph reduction, modern PCs are limited not by processor speed, but by the rate that data can travel between processor and memory. This limitation is known as the von Neumann bott...
