A study was undertaken to compare the longevity and lifetime lamb output of purebred Scottish Blackface (BF) ewes with a range of crossbred genotypes from Scottish BF dams. For up to five successive breeding seasons, 1143 Scottish BF, Swaledale × BF (SW × BF), North Country Cheviot × BF (CH × BF), Lleyn × BF (LL × BF) and Texel × BF (T × BF) ewes were mated to a range of sire breeds on six hill...

The aim of the present paper is to define and study (IC)$LM$-fuzzytopological spaces, a generalization of (weakly) induced $LM$-fuzzytopological spaces. We discuss the basic properties of(IC)$LM$-fuzzy topological spaces, and introduce the notions ofinterior (IC)-fication and exterior (IC)-fication of $LM$-fuzzytopologies and prove that {bf ICLM-FTop} (the category of(IC)$LM$-fuzzy topological ...

In this paper,  we introduce  the notion of $M$-fuzzifying interval spaces, and discuss the relationship between $M$-fuzzifying interval spaces and $M$-fuzzifying convex structures.It is proved that  the category  {bf MYCSA2}  can be embedded in  the category  {bf  MYIS}  as a reflective subcategory, where  {bf MYCSA2} and   {bf  MYIS} denote  the category of $M$-fuzzifying convex structures of...

The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of cat$^{bf {1}}-$groupoids which are the groupoid version of cat$^{bf {1}}-$groups and to prove the categorical equivalence between crossed modules over groupoids and cat$^{bf {1}}-$groupoids. In section 4 we introduce the notions of crossed squares over groupoids and of cat$^{bf {2}}-$groupoids, and then we show their categories are equivalent....

We sought to determine 1) the influence of adiposity on thermoregulatory responses independently of the confounding biophysical factors of body mass and metabolic heat production (Hprod); and 2) whether differences in adiposity should be accounted for by prescribing an exercise intensity eliciting a fixed Hprod per kilogram of lean body mass (LBM). Nine low (LO-BF) and nine high (HI-BF) body fa...

The aim of this study is to investigate the accuracy of body adiposity index (BAI) as a convenient tool for assessing body fat percentage (BF%) in a sample of adults with overweight/obesity using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). The study population was composed of 96 volunteers (60% female, mean age 40.6 ± 7.5 years old). Anthropometric characteristics (body mass index, height, waist-to...

we consider the class $mathfrak m$ of $bf r$--modules where $bf r$ is an associative ring. let $a$ be a module over a group ring $bf r$$g$, $g$ be a group and let $mathfrak l(g)$ be the set of all proper subgroups of $g$. we suppose that if $h in mathfrak l(g)$ then $a/c_{a}(h)$ belongs to $mathfrak m$. we investigate an $bf r$$g$--module $a$ such that $g not = g'$, $c_{g}(a) = 1$. we stud...
