Fit of different linear models to the lactation curve of Italian water buffalo
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010 Mathematical modelling of lactation curve by suitable functions of time, widely used in the dairy cattle industry, can represent also for buffaloes a fundamental tool for management and breeding decision, where average curves are considered, and for ...

Methodology for estimation of undeformed thickness of arterial tissues
Scientific Reports, 2023 Soft tissue sample thickness measurement is one of the major sources of differences between mechanical responses published by different groups. New method for the estimation of unloaded sample thickness of soft tissues is proposed in this study. Ten 30 ×

Simple Genetic Algorithms with Linear Fitness
Evolutionary Computation, 1994 A general form of stochastic search is described (random heuristic search), and some of its general properties are proved. This provides a framework in which the simple genetic algorithm (SGA) is a special case. The framework is used to illuminate relationships between seemingly different probabilistic perspectives of SGA behavior.

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2020 The indicator dilution method (IDM) is one approach to measure pulmonary perfusion using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT). To be able to calculate perfusion parameters and to increase robustnes, it is necessary to approximate and then to separate ...

On the Fitting length of a soluble linear group [PDF]
Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 1973 Proof. Let l(K) = I. The result is clearly true when I 2; therefore assume I > 2 and proceed by induction on \G\. Set F — F(K), the Fitting subgroup of K. Since F is the direct product of its Sylow subgroups, each of which is normal in G, we may assume by the J?o-closure of the class L(l) of groups of Fitting length at most I that F has a Sylow p ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) face multiple acute and chronic medical complications that may impact their quality of life as reported by patients themselves. Health‐related social needs (HRSNs), such as food and housing insecurity, are common in people with SCD, but the association between HRSNs and patient‐reported ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Combined oral contraceptive (COC) use in obese adult women dramatically increases the relative risk of developing a pulmonary embolism (PE). The risk of a PE in obese adolescent females taking contraceptives is currently unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) and contraceptive
