The work in this thesis examines the previously unstudied relationship between spider diagrams and regular languages. In this thesis, the ...

Lamb survival is a key issue for sheep farming operations. The majority of lamb deaths from birth to weaning occur in the first 3 days after birth and range from 5% to 30% for individual sheep flocks. A simplified lamb post-mortem examination (PM) protocol has been developed for use on farm to determine the primary cause of lamb death between birth and 3 days of age. Firstly lamb viability at b...
