Genetic improvement is a crucial tool to deal with the increasing demand for high quality, sustainably produced dairy. Breeding programs are based on genetic parameters, such as heritability and correlations, economically important traits in population. In this study, we estimated population parameters trends 67 evaluated heifers first-lactation Canadian Holstein cows. The data consisted of app...

In this paper we present a new practical key-recovery attack on the SFLASH signature scheme. SFLASH is a derivative of the older C∗ encryption and signature scheme that was broken in 1995 by Patarin. In SFLASH, the public key is truncated, and this simple countermeasure prevents Patarin’s attack. The scheme is well-known for having been considered secure and selected in 2004 by the NESSIE proje...

In this paper, a CFD analysis on the bare hull form of submarines or torpedoes for minimizing the resistance is represented. There are several parameters in submarine form design which the most important parameter is resistance. All operational characteristics of submarines are related to the resistance, related required power and then, underwater speed and range. Other parameters are only ment...

in this paper, a new method is proposed for the production of mwcnts/pvc (multi-walled carbon nanotubes/ polyvinyl chloride) nanocomposites. in this method, a spray is used to produce layers of carbon nanotubes within a pvc matrix. various parameters influence the production of the nanocomposite and its mechanical properties. these parameters are studied separately and the effect of each of par...

We study the classic online learning problem of predicting with expert advice, and propose a truly parameter-free and adaptive algorithm that achieves several objectives simultaneously without using any prior information. The main component of this work is an improved version of the NormalHedge.DT algorithm (Luo and Schapire, 2014), called AdaNormalHedge. On one hand, this new algorithm ensures...
