Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of diet and monensin on performance, digestibility, and methane production in steers fed forage-based diets. In Exp. 1, 72 individually fed steers (300 ± 25 kg) were used in a randomized block design arranged as 2 separate 2 × 2 factorials with two common treatments, thus 6 diets were fed with 12 steers per treatment. Factors included hig...

BACKGROUND Epidemiologic studies have classified 18 genotypes of the human papillomavirus (HPV) as (probably) high-risk (HR) based on their association with cervical cancer, i.e., HPV 16, 18, 26, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 73, and 82. Given the fact that certain HR HPV types confer an increased risk of cervical (pre)cancer, type-specific identification might aid clinica...

In adaptive control problems one may drop the requirement of identifying the true system in order to simplify the problem of control. It will be shown that in the adaptive LQ control problem this does not at all lead to an easier problem. A MS Subject Classijication: 93C40. Kqvwords: Adaptive LQ control, Closed-loop identification, Certainty equivalence.

We study the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equation. In a previous paper [16] the author has shown the Lp-Lq estimates between the solutions of the damped wave equation and the solutions of the corresponding heat equation. In this paper, we show new Lp-Lq estimates for the damped wave equation with odd initial data.

We study the relation between Sobolev inequalities for differential forms on a Riemannian manifold (M, g) and the Lq,p-cohomology of that manifold. The Lq,p-cohomology of (M,g) is defined to be the quotient of the space of closed differential forms in L(M) modulo the exact forms which are exterior differentials of forms in L(M).

Heat exchangers are devices whose primary responsibility is the transfer (exchange) of heat, typically from one fluid to another. However, they are not only used in heating applications, such as space heaters, but are also used in cooling applications, such as refrigerators and air conditioners. Heat exchange processes often contain time-delay. This paper deals with design of universal and robu...

and Applied Analysis 3 for any fixed T > 0. Then v,H can be extended beyond T > 0 if one of the following conditions is satisfied: 1 u ∈ C ( 0, T ;Ln/3 ) , 1.11 2 u ∈ L 0, T ;L with 2 p n q 3, n 3 < q ≤ n, 1.12 3 ∇u ∈ C ( 0, T ;Ln/4 ) , 1.13 4 ∇u ∈ L 0, T ;L with 2 p n q 4 with n 4 < q ≤ n 2 . 1.14 Remark 1.5. If we delete the harmless lower order terms ∂tu − Δu and ∂tB − ΔB in 1.1 and 1.2 , th...

We investigate the isotropic-anisotropic phase transition of the twodimensional XY model with six-fold anisotropy, using Monte Carlo renormalization group method. The result indicates difficulty of observing asymptotic critical behavior in Monte Carlo simulations, owing to the marginal flow at the fixed point.

BACKGROUND Functional movement tests that are predictive of injury risk in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes are useful tools for sports medicine professionals. The Lower Quarter Y-Balance Test (YBT-LQ) measures single-leg balance and reach distances in 3 directions. PURPOSE To assess whether the YBT-LQ predicts the laterality and risk of sports-related lower extremity ...
