The manager makes control decisions based on the strength of controls and on employee trustworthiness, which are modeled as functions of monetary and psychic costs and benefits of committing and not c...

An attitude control strategy for maneuvers of an interconnection of planar bodies in space is developed. It is assumed that there are no exogeneous torques and that torques generated by joint motors are uscd as means of control so that the total angular momentum of the multibody system is a constant, assumed to be zero in this paper. The control strategy utilizes the nonintegrability of the exp...

Induced molting increases egg quality and egg production and extends the productive life of hens. Molting is accomplished by feed withdrawal, which has received criticism, and alternatives described thus far result in poor postmolt performance. Melengestrol acetate at a dosage of 4 or 8 mg/d, in a balanced diet, leads to reversible regression of the reproductive tract. However, this alternative...
