Grasses (monocots), forbs and browse (dicots) differ in structure and chemistry. Grasses have a thicker cell wall containing potentially digestible structural carbohydrates, fewer secondary plant chemicals, and have a relatively low and homogenous growth relative to browses. Mammalian herbivores can be classified along a continuum according to which plant type they prefer. Diet choices correspo...

Heterogeneous one-class collaborative filtering (HOCCF) is a recently studied important recommendation problem, which consists of different types of users’ one-class feedback such as browses and purchases. In HOCCF, we aim to fully exploit the heterogenous feedback and learn users’ preferences so as to make a personalized and ranking-oriented recommendation for each user. For HOCCF, we can appl...

This paper introduces a shared Internet talking browser for the visually impaired called Talk & Browse (T&Browse) that allows a group of blind users to access Internet content and view the same HTML documents at the same time. Within the browsing session, the system allows two types of users: a sighted person (session supervisor) and blind users (session guided users). When the supervisor brows...

Green networking is a rapidly expanding area of research. This survey browses through the recent green networking literature with two aims. First, the survey attempts to sketch the main ideas in the research on different parts of communications networks. Second, the aim is to recognize areas where mathematical modeling approaches are applied.

We described the effects of two East African browses, Acacia brevispica and Sesbania sesban, on nitrogen metabolism of sheep and goats. The A. brevispica had a substantial amount of proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins); S. sesban did not. The browses were fed at three levels in combination with vetch (Vicia dasycarpa) and teff straw (Eragrostis abyssinica). Fecal N, N balance, and plasma urea ...

160 ABSTRACT: The in vitro gas production of some semi-arid browse species were evaluated. The relationship between in vitro gas measured on incubation of tannin-containing browses in buffered rumen fluid and calculated from short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production was investigated. Crude protein (CP) contents in the browses ranged from 13.85 to 16.65% dry matter (DM). The NDF, ADF and ADL were...
