Most models developed for poultry are linear to the point where genetic potential is reached. Models reliant on the premise that growth rate determines requirements based on some fixed rate of nutrient utilization do not adequately represent the biological phenomena involved. Therefore, a dichotomy between the accepted theories of nutrient utilization in animals and the assumptions of mathemati...

this study focused to identify the likelihood factors affecting on farmers’ higher gain from paddy marketing in the north central province of sri lanka, where the main paddy cultivation area of the country. the required data was drawn from the field survey carried out in three irrigation systems covering 257 farmers during july to august 2010. the empirical logit model was used to assess factor...

A gain graph is a graph whose edges are labelled invertibly by gains from a group. Switching is a transformation of gain graphs that generalizes conjugation in a group. A weak chromatic function of gain graphs with gains in a fixed group satisfies three laws: deletion-contraction for links with neutral gain, invariance under switching, and nullity on graphs with a neutral loop. The laws are ana...

Except at the handful of sites explored by the inverse method, the characteristics-indeed, the very existence-of traveling-wave amplification in the mammalian cochlea remain largely unknown. Uncertainties are especially pronounced in the apex, where mechanical and electrical measurements lack the independent controls necessary for assessing damage to the preparation. At a functional level, the ...

introduction: central nervous system develops during the first years of life. millions of synapses form among nervous cells before two years of age. the present research was performed to assess the effects of mothers’ training about complementary feeding and developmental skills on growth and development of 5-7 month infants referring to health centers in city of shiraz in southwest of iran. me...

It is well known that a function analytic in the right half plane can be constructed from its real part alone, or (modulo an additive constant) from its imaginary part alone via the Hilbert transform. It is also known that a stable minimum phase transfer function can be reconstructed from its gain alone, or (modulo a multiplicative constant) from its phase alone, via the Bode gain/phase relatio...
