Over a 5-yr period, spring-calving cows were used in a carry-over design experiment to evaluate effects of calf age at weaning on cow and calf performance and production economics. Weaning management groups were early (n = 60, calf age 150 d, EW), traditional (n = 60, calf age 210 d, NW), and late (n = 60, calf age 270 d, LW). Cow body condition score (BCS) and weights at the last weaning date ...

We apply Bogoliubov compensation principle to the gauge electro-weak interaction to demonstrate a spontaneous generation of anomalous three-boson gauge invariant effective interaction. The non-trivial solution of compensation equations uniquely defines values of parameters of the theory and the formfactor of the anomalous interaction. The contribution of this interaction to running EW coupling ...

electric wheelchairs (ew) experience various terrains surfaces and slopesas well asoccupants with diverse weights. this, in turn, imparts a substantial amount of perturbation to the ewdynamics. in this paper we make use of a two-degree-of-freedom control architecture called disturbance observer (dob) which reduces sensitivity to model uncertainties while enhancing rejection of disturbances caus...

INTRODUCTION EnhanceWellness (EW) is a community-based health promotion program that helps prevent disabilities and improves health and functioning in older adults. A previous randomized controlled trial demonstrated a decrease in inpatient use for EW participants but did not evaluate health care costs. We assessed the effect of EW participation on health care costs. METHODS We performed a re...

ABSTRACT We present an investigation of the interdependence optical-to-X-ray spectral slope (?ox), He ii equivalent-width (EW), and monochromatic luminosity at 2500 Å (L2500). The values ?ox EW are indicators strength/shape quasar ionizing continuum, from ultraviolet (UV; 1500–2500 Å), through extreme (EUV; 300–50 to X-ray (2 keV) regime. For this investigation, we measure 206 radioquiet quasar...

We present theoretical predictions of UV continuum luminosity function (UV LF) and Lyα equivalent width (EW) distribution of Lyman alpha emitters (LAEs) in the framework of the hierarchical clustering model of galaxy formation. The model parameters about LAEs were determined by fitting to the observed Lyα LF at z = 5.7 in our previous study, and the fit indicates that extinction of Lyα photons ...

We carried out molecular-dynamics simulations by using the two-phase coexistence method with the constant pressure, particle number, and enthalpy ensemble to compute the melting temperature of proton-disordered hexagonal ice I(h) at 1-bar pressure. Four models of water were considered, including the widely used TIP4P [W. L. Jorgensen, J. Chandrasekha, J. D. Madura, R. W. Impey, and M. L. Klein,...

The modern day Electronic Warfare(EW) receivers are required to match with the current day radar technologies like the Low Probability of Intercept(LPI) radars with various intra pulse modulations such as Chirp, Barker, Frank, Poly-phase and Poly time codes. This paper presents the state of the art single board Digital Receiver solution for intercepting and analyzing complex radar signals. Also...
