Solving inverse scattering problems by numerical methods requires investigating the number of independent pieces information that can be reconstructed stably. To this end, we address evaluation Number Degrees Freedom (NDF) far-zone scattered fields for some strip geometries under first-order Born approximation. The analysis is performed employing Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) operator in t...

mine which selection criteria will have the greatest impact on animal performance without detrimental effects Voluntary intake is often the greatest limitation to animal perforon agronomic traits. Plant breeders must evaluate large mance. Two different laboratory measures of intake potential were used as selection criteria in four smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis numbers of individual plants, ...

We propose Neural Deformable Fields (NDF), a new representation for dynamic human digitization from multi-view video. Recent works proposed to represent body with shared canonical neural radiance fields which links the observation space deformation estimations. However, learned is static and current design of not able large movements or detailed geometry changes. In this paper, we learn deforma...

the objectives of this study were to determine and compare the chemical composition and ruminal degradability of dry matter (dm), crude protein (cp), neutral detergent fiber (ndf) and acid detergent fiber (adf) of ten pasture forage species dominant in the west provinces of iran. duplicate nylon bags of pasture samples were suspended in the rumen of four wethers for up to 96 h. the chemical com...

Films like Shrek, Madagascar, The Chronicles of Narnia and Charlotte’s web all have something in common: realistic quadruped animations. While the animation of animals has been popular for a long time, the technical challenges associated with creating highly realistic, computer generated creatures have been receiving increasing attention recently. The entertainment, education and medical indust...

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF) content of dairy cow diets containing corn silage as the sole forage on intake, chewing, ruminal pH, microbial protein synthesis, digestibility, and milk production. A second objective was to compare current methods of measuring peNDF to determine the most suitable approach for use in ration...

The native forage, false Rhodes grass [Leptochloa crinita (Lag.) P.M. Peterson and N.W. Snow], represents an important component of the arid semi-arid rangelands Americas, due to its large area distribution tolerance drought cattle grazing. Precise information on nutritive value factors that influence this trait is relevant for effective utilization as a forage in regions world. Here, we charac...

A group of231 alfalfa hay sample results received by a commercial lab over 4 years of hay testing in the San Joaquin Valley of California were examined for the relationship between various lab results. ADF2 and NDF were linearly related in this data set (90% of the variation in NDF is explained by the ADF value = R2). There was a very poor relationship between ADF value and CP (R 2 of 26%), whi...

Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) continues to be a common and costly metabolic disorder in high-producing dairy cows worldwide. The objective of this study was evaluate if increasing the concentration physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF) diets can reduce risk SARA fed high-concentrate diet. Thirty second-parity Holstein mid lactation (131 ± 8.3 d milk) were randomly allocated 3 ...

The IBA DataFurnace (NDF) is a general purpose program for analysis of IBA data. It currently includes Rutherford backscattering (RBS), elastic (non-Rutherford) backsscattering (EBS), elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA), non-resonant nuclear reaction analysis (NRA), and particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE). Here we discuss recent developments in the advanced physics capabilities implemen...
