Age and growth of marbled sole Pleuronectes yokohamae werer estimated from growth increments in otolith. The samples were collected with commercial set nets and an experimental bottom trawl net in Kikonai Bay and the nearby waters, southern coast of Hokkaido, from May 1994 to July 1995. Monthly changes in the percentage occurrence of oltoliths with translucent edge in one band and the marginal ...

Holstein calves, 10 steers (98 +/- 16 kg; Exp. 1) and 14 heifers (122 +/- 7 kg; Exp. 2), were fed either corn-cottonseed hull basal diets (CON; 15.1 and 13.2% CP, respectively) or CON plus 370 micrograms/kg of Cr as Cr-tripicolinate (CrP). After either 58 (Exp. 1) or 56 (Exp. 2) days of ADG and DMI measurement, calves were individually fed 1.4% of their BW every 12 h through the end of each exp...

f, g ∈ L(E) where E is a k vector space of dimension d. We introduce the relation (*): exp(t.f + g) = exp(t.f) ◦ exp(g) for any t ∈ k or N; we study the connections between the relations () and f ◦g = g◦f for d = 2 or 3. Let d = 2: if k = R and if (*) is verified for t ∈ N then f ◦g = g◦f ; we obtain all the couples f , g verifying (*) on C and such as f ◦g 6= g◦f . Our main result is: if d = 3...

Two experiments were conducted to determine effects of feeding corncobs of various mean particle size (MPS) on ruminal, digestive and metabolic characteristics of early-weaned lambs fed pelleted 74.9% concentrate:25.1% corncob diets. The MPS of corncobs in diets was 6.5, 5.4, 1.4 and .8 mm, respectively. As particle size decreased, percentage starch decreased and percentage neutral detergent fi...

Huxley equation is a core mathematical framework for modern biophysically based neural modeling. It is often useful to obtain a generalized solitary solution for fully understanding its physical meanings. There are many methods to solve the equation, but each method can only lead to a special solution. This paper suggests a relatively new method called the Exp-function method for this purpose. ...

Abstract. This paper discusses a method based on Laguerre polynomials combined with a Filtered Conjugate Residual (FCR) framework to compute the product of the exponential of a matrix by a vector. The method implicitly uses an expansion of the exponential function in a series of orthogonal Laguerre polynomials, much like existing methods based on Chebyshev polynomials do. Owing to the fact that...

Two commercial feedlot experiments were conducted to determine the effects of feeding melengestrol acetate (MGA) or MGA plus ractopamine (MGA+OPT) on the performance and carcass characteristics of finishing heifers. In Nebraska (Exp. 1), 1,807 heifers (337.3 ± 20.0 kg) and in Texas (Exp. 2), 1,964 heifers (331.5 ± 6.1 kg) were fed 0.4 mg of MGA daily. For heifers fed MGA+OPT, 200 mg of ractopam...

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between I∆0+exp and its weaker subtheories. We give a method of translating certain classes of I∆0+exp proofs into weaker systems of arithmetic such as Buss’ systems S2. We show if IEi(exp) ` A with a proof P of expindrank(P ) ≤ n + 1 where all (∀ ≤: right) or (∃ ≤: left) have bounding terms not containing function symbols then Si 2 ⊇ IEi...

When feedlot pens are scraped in the spring and summer, manure is often stored before land application can occur in the fall. Manure stockpiled or composted was evaluated for nutrient losses in 2 experiments for 104 (Exp. 1) and 111 d (Exp. 2). Stockpiles (n = 2 in Exp. 1 and n = 3 in Exp. 2) and compost windrows (n = 6 in Exp. 1 and n = 4 in Exp. 2) were constructed with feedlot manure scraped...
