First lactation records (174) of Jersey×Sahiwal and Holstein Friesian×Sahiwal half breds under 9 sires maintained at Chandra Shekher Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India from 1975-1983, were used to estimate the genetic parameters and to predict herd life milk yield and average milk yield per day of herd life from first lactation traits. The traits include...

the essential oil of rosa damascena mill. is one of the most valuable and important base material in the flavor and fragrance industry. the aim of this study was to determine the effects of different rates of cow manure on the essential oil of the rose petals. for this a field experiment was conducted on a clay loam soil at the research farm of alborz research station, karaj, iran. experimental...

The Dixit entry/exit real option model was applied to the entry/exit decisions of New York dairy farmers. For the cost structure of a 500-cow farm the entry milk price is $17.52 per hundredweight (cwt.) and the exit milk price is $10.84. For the 50-cow farm cost structure the entry price is higher at $23.71 per cwt., and the exit price is also higher at $13.48. If infinite numbers of representa...

Recent studies have shown that suitably-designed packet discard policies can dramatically improve the performance of fair queueing mechanisms in internet routers. The Queue State Deficit Round Robin algorithm (QSDRR) preferentially discards from long queues, but introduces hysteresis into the discard policy to minimize synchronization among TCP flows. QSDRR provides higher throughput and much b...

An alternative receiver structure is presented for discrete multitone (DMT)-based systems. The usual structure consisting of a (real) time domain equalizer (TEQ) with a (complex) 1-taps frequency domain equalizer (FEQ) per tone, is modiied into a structure with a (complex) multitaps FEQ per tone. By solving an MMSE problem, the SNR is maximized for each tone separately. This always results in a...
