Optimizing the use of distiller grain (DG) is becoming increasingly important as ethanol production increases. Dairy-beef production is a system that has the potential to use large amounts of DG. Threehundred and twenty Holstein steers (420.7 + 71.5 lbs initial wt.) were fed finishing diets at the University of Illinois Beef Research Unit. Forty pens were each randomly assigned to ten treatment...

An experiment was conducted to determine the influence of adding graded levels of microbial phytase to corn, distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), high-protein distillers dried grains (HP-DDG), and corn germ on the standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) of P. A second objective was to develop regression equations to predict the response of adding phytase to each of these ingredie...

Software pipelining is becoming widely used as a loop execution model for microprocessors supporting a high instruction level parallelism. In this paper we describe a heuristic method for software pipelining, named Graph Traverse Software Pipelining (GTSP), that divides the scheduling problem in two phases: scheduling on a graph and code generation. The first phase encapsulates the NP-complete ...

It is generally accepted that diet modification provides beneficial effects on the management of diabetes. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of diet modification on nutrient intake and quality of life in a large sample of diabetic patients. This study was conducted using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey IV and V (2007-2010). A total of 2,484 of d...

The classic theory of differential geometry concerns itself with smooth curves and surfaces. In practice, however, our experiments can only measure a finite amount of data, and our simulations can only resolve a finite amount of detail. Discrete differential geometry (DDG) studies discrete counterparts of classical differential geometry that are applicable in this discrete setting, and converge...

In many real-world scenarios, we often deal with streaming data that is sequentially collected over time. Due to the non-stationary nature of environment, distribution may change in unpredictable ways, which known as concept drift literature. To handle drift, previous methods first detect when/where happens and then adapt models fit latest data. However, there are still cases some underlying fa...

We revisit the optimal code generation or evaluation order determination problem — the problem of generating an instruction sequence from a data dependence graph (DDG). In particular, we are interested in generating an instruction sequence S that is optimal in terms of the number of registers used by the sequence S. We call this MRIS (Minimum Register Instruction Sequence) problem. We developed...

As the demand for ever larger knowledge bases grows knowledge base management techniques assume paramount importance In this paper we show that large multi user knowledge bases need concurrency control We discuss known techniques from database concurrency control and explain their inad equacies in the context of knowledge bases We o er a concurrency control algorithm called the Dynamic Directed...
