We analyzed 152,145 test-day records from 7317 first lactations of Holstein cows recorded from 1995 to 2003. Our objective was to model variations in test-day milk yield during the first lactation of Holstein cows by random regression model (RRM), using various functions in order to obtain adequate and parsimonious models for the estimation of genetic parameters. Test-day milk yields were...

New Hermite-Hadamard-type integral inequalities for φ-MT-preinvex functions are obtained. Our results in special cases yield some of those results proved in recent articles concerning with the differentiable MTconvex functions. Some applications to special means and the trapezoidal formula are also considered, respectively. c ©2016 All rights reserved.

We present a simple way to program typed abstract syntax in a language following a Hindley-Milner typing discipline, such as Haskell and ML, and we apply it to automate two proofs about normalization functions as embodied in type-directed partial evaluation for the simply typed lambda calculus: normalization functions (1) preserve types and (2) yield long beta-eta normal forms.

Commutators of a large class of bilinear operators and multiplication by functions in a certain subspace of the space of functions of bounded mean oscillations are shown to be jointly compact. Under a similar commutation, fractional integral versions of the bilinear Hilbert transform yield separately compact operators.

By making use of the familiar concept of neighborhoods of analytic functions, the authors prove several inclusion relations associated with the (n, δ)-neighborhoods of certain subclasses of analytic functions of complex order, which are introduced here by means of the Ruscheweyh derivatives. Special cases of some of these inclusion relations are shown to yield known results.

In recent years, a remarkably large number of inequalities involving the fractional q-integral operators have been investigated in the literature by many authors. Here, we aim to present some new fractional integral inequalities involving generalized Erdélyi-Kober fractional q-integral operator due to Gaulué, whose special cases are shown to yield corresponding inequalities associated with Kobe...

The x-ray emission with the single crystal of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) or lithium tantalite (LiTaO3) by thermal changes in a vacuum system is closely concerned with the electronic state of each crystal. Therefore, lithium Kedge x-ray absorption near edge structures (XANES) spectra of these materials were measured in the region from 50 eV to 90 eV by means of total electron yield method (T.E.Y.)...

Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) provide a high-yield method for producing hydrogen from renewable biomass. One challenge for commercialization of the technology is a lowcost and highly efficient cathode. Stainless steel (SS) is very inexpensive, and cathodes made of this material with high specific surface areas can achieve performance similar to carbon cathodes containing a platinum cataly...

Recent extensive and systematic numerical experiments have uncovered new insights into plasma focus fusion devices including the following: (1) a plasma current limitation effect, as device static inductance is reduced towards very small values; (2) scaling laws of neutron yield and soft x-ray yield as functions of storage energies and currents; (3) a global scaling law for neutron yield as a f...

let $p$ be an analytic function defined on the open unit disc $mathbb{d}$ with $p(0)=1.$ the conditions on $alpha$ and $beta$ are derived for $p(z)$ to be subordinate to $1+4z/3+2z^{2}/3=:varphi_{c}(z)$ when $(1-alpha)p(z)+alpha p^{2}(z)+beta zp'(z)/p(z)$ is subordinate to $e^{z}$. similar problems were investigated for $p(z)$ to lie in a region bounded by lemniscate of bernoulli $|w^{2}-1...
