background:herbal methionine can be compared relative todl-methionine with evaluation of bioavailability of this source ofmethionine. objectives: an experiment was carried out todetermine the relative bioefficacy of herbal methionine (h-met)®relative to dl-methionine (dl-met) on performance criteria andimmunocompetence of met sources in male broilers. atotal of 160male broilers were fed a met-d...

In this paper, we propose a music evaluation method. In this method, impressions of given music are represented by features by value, so that the music impressions are processed on computers. To obtain the music impressions, we experiment music impressions by using a semantic differential method. Then, we construct several models based on the experimental results with multiregression analysis. ...

In this paper we elicit a directed acyclic graph (DAG) for the multivariate time series of hourly vehicle counts at the junction of three major roads in the UK. A flow diagram is introduced to give a pictorial representation of the possible vehicle routes through the network. It is shown how this flow diagram, together with a map of the network, can suggest a suitable DAG which represents the c...

This paper proposes a reliability estimation method based on Step-Stress Accelerated Degradation Testing (SSADT) data analysis using unequal interval time series analysis. A MultiRegression Time Varying Auto-Regressive (MRTVAR) degradation time series model is proposed. Product SSADT data are treated as unequal interval composite time series and described using MRTVAR time series model and util...
