The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of constitutive equations on the prediction accuracy for springback in cold stamping with various deformation modes. In this study, two types of yield functions—Hill’48 and Yld2000-2d—were considered to describe yield behavior. Isotropic and kinematic hardening models based on the Yoshida–Uemori model were also adopted to describe hardening ...

This paper proposes and contrastively evaluates several novel approaches to utilizing annotator rationales to improve the prediction of user gender in social media for English and Spanish. Our methods outperform state-of-the-art systems for Twitter gender prediction, and yield up to 28% error reduction relative to an otherwise identical system and training data without the use of annotator rati...

A method with best prediction properties that condenses information from all test days into measures of lactation yield and persistency has been proposed as a possible replacement for the test interval method and projection factors. The proposed method uses previously established correlations between individual test days and includes inversion of a matrix for each lactation. Milk weights that w...

Recently five dimensional supersymmetric models with a Scherk-Schwarz supersymmetry breaking and a localized superpotential on a fixed-point have been constructed to yield a definite prediction for the Higgs mass. We examine this issue in detail and show that the finite one loop correction and the definite prediction for the Higgs mass are just a consequence of a special “Kaluza-Klein regulariz...

Accurate prediction of meat yield in live animals may allow more efficient genetic improvement of meat yield in farm-raised catfish. An initial trial with 30 channel catfish demonstrated significant correlations among weight-adjusted residuals for muscle area measured from transverse ultrasound images and transverse sections at five locations along the trunk musculature (r = 0.30 to 0.70). Rela...

abstract the present study was aimed to investigate the planting dates effects on yield associated traits and also determining stability of the result of factor analysis and stepwise regression analysis in different planting dates of rapeseed genotypes at biekol agriculture research station during 2011-12 cropping season. result of split plot analysis exhibited significant genotypes effects for...

Active-optical sensor readings from an N non-limiting area standard established within a farm field are used to predict yield in the standard. Lower yield predictions from sensor readings obtained from other parts of the field outside of the N non-limiting standard area indicate a need for supplemental N. Active-optical sensor algorithms for predicting corn (Zea mays, L.) yield to direct in-sea...

remote sensing is one of the techniques recently used in order to monitoring and predicting crop yield. the objective of this study was predicting wheat yield in mashhad during 2009 and 2010 by landsat (tm) and (etm+) images with ground based data. for this purpose, three images dated 6, 14 and 22 jun 2009 and 8 and 24 may and 9 jun 2010 were analyzed and vegetation indices were computed. field...
