Comparison of Some Nonlinear Functions for Describing Broiler Growth Curves of Cobb500 Strain
This study was conducted to compare some nonlinear functions to describe the broiler growth curve of the Cobb500 strain. A flock of fifty one-day-old chicks were randomly selected from a henhouse of 2500 chicks. Our goal was to establish a growth curve using weighting data using mathematical solutions of time-dependent differential functions. In total, six equations were subjected to a statisti...
متن کاملDevelopmental research in paraplegic walking.
An injured London policeman's fight to stand and walk again, despite the handicap ofcomplete paraplegia at thoracic level from a gunshot wound, captured the public imagination last year. British journalists hailed as an important breakthrough his treatment-firstly, with an electrical stimulation system (functional electrical stimulation) for the paralysed lower limb musculature, then using a sp...
متن کاملAdvances in developmental prosopagnosia research.
Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) refers to face recognition deficits in the absence of brain damage. DP affects ∼2% of the population, and it often runs in families. DP studies have made considerable progress in identifying the cognitive and neural characteristics of the disorder. A key challenge is to develop a valid taxonomy of DP that will facilitate many aspects of research.
متن کاملAlternate developmental research directions
This paper addresses the question of whether it is worthwhile for developmentalists to try and figure out the age at which a particular skill develops. First, I discuss why it is important to study the earliest appearance of skills. Then I mention some of the problems with some approaches to such studies and also try to point some areas where such research is not the only thing they can do. Fin...
متن کاملExcellent nonlinear codes from modular curves
We introduce a new construction of error-correcting codes from algebraic curves over finite fields. Modular curves of genus g → ∞ over a field of size q 0 yield nonlinear codes more efficient than the linear Goppa codes obtained from the same curves. These new codes now have the highest asymptotic transmission rates known for certain ranges of alphabet size and error rate. Both the theory and p...
