When a software system evolves, new requirements may be added, existing functionalities modified, or some structural change introduced. During such evolution, disorder may be introduced, complexity increased or unintended consequences introduced, producing rippleeffect across the system. JHotDraw (JHD), a well-tested and widely used open source Javabased graphics framework developed with the be...

Colour plays important role in evaluating quality and maturity level of many agricultural products. Immature paddy has been defined as kernels or pieces of grain kernels that are not fully developed and are yellow-green in colour. Immature paddy will caused broken rice and losses during storage. This paper presents a new technique of paddy maturity estimation using various colour indices extrac...

Harvest maturity is closely related to peach fruit quality and has a very important effect on the fresh fruit market. Unfortunately, at present, it is difficult to determine the maturity level of peach fruits by artificial methods. The objectives of this study were to develop quadratic polynomial regression models using near-infrared spectroscopy that could determine the peel color difference, ...

Sex ratio, size at maturity, maturity stages, fecundity and egg diameter of Oreochromis niloticus from Coatetelco Lake, Morelos State, Mexico, were studied from January to December 1993. Sex ratio (male:female) was approximately 1:1.02. Length at maturity was 117 mm (males) and 120 mm (females). The fecundity ranged between 104 and 709 eggs, with egg diameter from 1,000 to 3,000 microns. The go...

A target BW is often used to estimate sexual maturity in beef heifers. The target BW, a percentage of mature BW, is generally an average for the breed, herd, or both. Heifer development is done in groups or herds, and not all heifers respond similarly to the same development regimen. Generally, heifers fed at a higher plane of nutrition gain more BW and tend to have increased pregnancy rates, b...
