BACKGROUND The consequences of in utero growth restriction have been attracting scholarly attention for the past two decades. Nevertheless, the diagnosis of growth-restricted neonates is as yet an unresolved issue. Aim of this study is the evaluation of the performance of simple, common indicators of nutritional status, which are used in the identification of growth-restricted neonates. METHO...

The fault current levels through the electric devices have a significant impact on failure probability. New fault current results in exceeding the rated capacity of circuit breaker and switching equipments and changes operation characteristic of overcurrent relay. In order to solve these problems, SFCL (Superconducting Fault Current Limiter) has rising as one of new alternatives so as to improv...

The Recurrent Temporal Restricted Boltzmann Machine is a promising probabilistic model for processing temporal data. It has been shown to learn physical dynamics from videos (e.g. bouncing balls), but its ability to process sequential data has not been tested on symbolic tasks. Here we assess its capabilities on learning sequences of letters corresponding to English words. It emerged that the m...

Two selection goals of inclusion or exclusion of calving interval (CI) in the selection goal function for Holstein cows in Iran, besides milk yield, milk fat percentage, and milk protein percentage, were studied. Four selection indices were composed of using the information on production traits, CI and / or days from calving to first insemination (DFI). The results of the predicted genetic grow...

IMPLICATIONS Sire selection should focus on that which is economical. This requires a true accounting of the traits that generate revenue or incur a cost within a specific beef cattle enterprise. Once the drivers of profit have been identified, sire selection should focus on the suite of traits that impact profitability. The use of bio-economic selection indices can dramatically reduce the comp...

A. Proofs for Realizable Setting Proof of Lemma 3. Let ∆ := ŵ −w∗ be the difference between the true answer and solution to the optimization problem. Let S to be the support of w∗ and let S = [d] \ S be the complements of S. Consider the permutation i1, . . . , id−k of S for which |∆(ij)| ≥ |∆(ij+1)| for all j. That is, the permutation dictated by the magnitude of the entries of ∆ outside of S....
