The weighing records of 18 crossbred females with average live weight of 14.7 ± 3.14 kg were analyzed to study the relationship of the growth of crossbred hair sheep with some zoometric measures. The weight was established and took the measures thoracic perimeter, cannon perimeter, body length, neck length, hip amplitude, ischial amplitude, withers height and croup height. All parameters were s...

in this paper, computer simulation of a three-phase synchronous motor drive is described. this drive/system is supplied with a new type of pulse-width modulated voltage source inverter (pwm vsi) whose amplitude of the first harmonic, compared to a conventional sinusoidal pwm vsi, is increased by about 17% and whose amplitude of higher harmonics is also reduced inversely proportional to their or...

free surface sloshing of liquid in a rectangular tank induced by lateral excitation has been studied numericallyand experimentally in this paper. the numerical simulation is carried out based on the volume of fluid (vof) method that provides free surface extraction in such problem. a tank with transparent walls is used to free surface tracking in experimental study while the movement amplitude ...

BACKGROUND Most health surveys ask women whether they have had a recent mammogram, all of which report mammography use (past 2 years) at about 70% to 80% regardless of race or residence. We examined the potential extent of overreporting of mammography use in low income African-American and Latina women, and whether self-report inaccuracies might bias estimated associations between patient chara...

[1] This paper reports multiplatform observations of leader radiation preceding initial cloud-to-ground lightning return strokes by <6 ms. Specifically, we present multistation ground-based LF/VLF recordings of events with large-amplitude leader activity (comparable in amplitude to the return stroke amplitude). The events were selected for their coincidence with VHF observations by the FORTE sa...

We propose a new model for RR interval records based on the empirical finding that the amplitude of RR records is negatively correlated with its regularity. We develop the mathematics needed to define rigorously this model, as well as the statistical tools necessary for estimating the parameters of the model on sampled data. We use this to analyze finely the impact of ventricular extrasystole o...

The sensitivity of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) to changes in mean climate is investigated for simulations of pre-industrial and mid-Holocene (6000 years before present) climate using the Hadley Centre coupled atmosphere-ocean model, HadCM3. Orbitally-forced changes in insolation in the mid-Holocene produce changes in seasonality which may alter ENSO amplitude and frequency. The model si...
