In December of 1987, the Wisconsin supreme court held that all involuntarily committed mental patients in the state had the right to refuse psychotropic medication unless a court held that they were incompetent to make treatment decisions. The authors studied the effects of this decision in a 165-bed forensic hospital over the first six months after implementation of the decision. They found th...

Probabilistic CSP extends the language of CSP with an operator for probabilis-tic choice. However reasoning about an intricate combination of nondeterminism, communication and probabilistic behaviour can be complicated. In standard CSP such complication is overcome (when possible) by use of hierarchical reasoning. In this paper we provide a foundation for lifting such reasoning to the probabili...

Cross-linking of lignin to arabinoxylan by ferulates limits in vitro rumen digestibility of grass cell walls. The effect of ferulate cross-linking on dry matter intake (DMI), milk production, and in vivo digestibility was investigated in ad libitum and restricted-intake digestion trials with lambs, and in a dairy cow performance trial using the low-ferulate sfe corn mutant. Silages of 5 inbred ...
