Four experiments were conducted using 671 nursery pigs to evaluate fermented soybean meal (FSBM) as a new vegetable protein source for nursery pigs. In Exp. 1, a total of 192 pigs weaned at 19.2 +/- 0.3 d of age were fed 3 diets (8 pens per treatment) for 2 wk: a control diet (without FSBM) and 2 diets with 3 and 6% FSBM replacing soybean meal, followed by a common diet for the next 2 wk. In Ex...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the digestibility of energy and nutrients and the concentration of DE, ME, and NE in fermented soybean meal (FSBM), conventional soybean meal (SBM-CV), and fish meal fed to weanling pigs. In Exp. 1, 36 barrows (initial BW: 22.0 ± 3.85 kg) were placed in metabolism cages and allotted to a randomized complete block design with 4 diets and 9 pigs per die...

In this paper, Chi’s real one-dimensional (1-D) parametric nonminimum-phase Fourier series-based model (FSBM) is extended to two-dimensional (2-D) FSBM for a 2-D nonminimumphase linear shift-invariant system by using finite 2-D Fourier series approximations to its amplitude response and phase response, respectively. The proposed 2-D FSBM is guaranteed stable, and its complex cepstrum can be obt...

This paper describes a novel and fast approach to Full Search Block Matching (FSBM) employing prediction of search region, based on the sampled statistics of Sum-of-Absolute Difference (SAD) distributions. The motion vector is predicted to belong to either of two regions, representing long-motion and short-motion, with limited amount of overlap between the two. The proposed prediction is statis...

The effects of autoclaving 2 varieties of micronized (fine grinding) pea protein concentrate (PPC) on the ileal digestibility (ID) of CP and amino acids (AA) were studied in broilers. There was a control diet based on fermented soybean meal (FSBM) and 4 extra diets in which the FSBM was substituted on a CP basis by PPC from 2 different pea cultivars (PPC-1 and PPC-2), either unheated or autocla...

Motion estimation plays an important role in video compression to remove temporal redundancies between successive frames. It is also useful in aiding detection of moving objects. Full-search block-matching (FSBM) is the most preferred algorithm for motion estimation. Frame-level pipelined FSBM architectures have advantages over block-level pipelined architectures in their simpler control and re...

In this paper, a parametric Fourier series based model (FSBM) for or as an approximation to an arbitrary nonminimum-phase linear time-invariant (LTI) system is proposed for statistical signal processing applications where a model for LTI systems is needed. Based on the FSBM, a (minimumphase) linear prediction error (LPE) filter for amplitude estimation of the unknown LTI system together with th...

HDTV based applications require FSBM to maintain its significantly higher resolution than traditional broadcasting formats (NTSC, SECAM, PAL). This paper proposes some techniques to increase the speed and reduce the area requirements of an FSBM hardware. These techniques are based on modifications of the Sum-of-Absolute-Differences (SAD) computation and the MacroBlock (MB) searching strategy. T...

The present work aimed to assess the nutrient digestibility of soybean meal (SBM) products based on in vitro procedures. Two-step and three-step assays were performed mimic digestion absorption nutrients digestive tracts growing swine. two-step method was modified reflect digesta retention time enzymes nursery piglets by decreasing incubation periods half those procedure for pigs used determine...

An experiment was conducted to determine the apparent (AID) and standardized (SID) ileal digestibility of CP and AA in weanling pigs of 4 soybean products, fish meal, and casein. The 4 soybean products were conventional dehulled soybean meal (SBM), soy protein isolate (SPI), fermented soybean meal (FSBM), and enzyme-treated soybean meal (ESBM). Seven weanling barrows (initial BW: 10.9 +/- 2.3 k...
