Four mature rumen and abomasal cannulated wethers were used in a 2 x 2 reversal experiment to study the effect of forage quality on daily quantity of abomasal protein and microbial protein synthesis. Diets were either high quality [HOo 16.4% crude protein (CP)] or low quality (LOo 9.3% CP) Coastal bermudagrass which provided 110.7 and 58.3 g CP intake daily, respectively. Non-ammonia CP reachin...

PURPOSE To evaluate the linear quadratic (LQ) model for hypofractionated radiotherapy within the context of predicting radiation pneumonitis (RP) and to investigate the effect if a linear (L) model in the high region (LQL model) is used. METHODS AND MATERIALS The radiation doses used for 128 patients treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy were converted to the equivalent doses given in fr...

We study the relation between Sobolev inequalities for differential forms on a Riemannian manifold (M, g) and the Lq,p-cohomology of that manifold. The Lq,p-cohomology of (M,g) is defined to be the quotient of the space of closed differential forms in L(M) modulo the exact forms which are exterior differentials of forms in L(M).

The length function lq(r,R) is the smallest length of a q-ary linear code of covering radius R and codimension r. New upper bounds on lq(r, 2) are obtained for odd r ≥ 3. In particular, using the one-to-one correspondence between linear codes of covering radius 2 and saturating sets in the projective planes over finite fields, we prove that

This paper presents LQ control problem based on numerical computation with guaranteed accuracy. By using the proposed methods, it is possible to guarantee numerical quality about design of control system. This paper also proposes a problem which finds the numerical optimal controller from a set of solutions solved by verified LQ control problem.

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of diet and monensin on performance, digestibility, and methane production in steers fed forage-based diets. In Exp. 1, 72 individually fed steers (300 ± 25 kg) were used in a randomized block design arranged as 2 separate 2 × 2 factorials with two common treatments, thus 6 diets were fed with 12 steers per treatment. Factors included hig...

BACKGROUND Epidemiologic studies have classified 18 genotypes of the human papillomavirus (HPV) as (probably) high-risk (HR) based on their association with cervical cancer, i.e., HPV 16, 18, 26, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 73, and 82. Given the fact that certain HR HPV types confer an increased risk of cervical (pre)cancer, type-specific identification might aid clinica...
