characteristics of the sample and methodology are published elsewhere [7]. Our database comprised 1,005 individuals above the age of 65 who were interviewed from a predefined catchment population in Chennai, India. This corresponded to a response rate of 72% [3]. The calculations for sample size [7] , the detailed report of the survey, and the characteristics of the catchment population are des...

Preference tests and meal pattern analyses were conducted to examine the feed intake response of weanling pigs to spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP). In Exp. 1, 36 weanling pigs (mean +/- SD; 6.2 +/- .8 kg and 26 d of age) were allowed to choose between a SDPP diet (8.5% SDPP, 20% dried whey, 10% lactose, and .13% DL-methionine) and a dried skim milk (DSM) diet (20% each of DSM and dried whey) t...

Generally, 3-D registration is divided into two parts that called as coarse and refinement steps. Above all, a proper feature matching technique is demanded between the DSM and the range image for the coarse registratio...
