Aerial dust originating from feed is a major contributor to poor air quality in swine confinement buildings. Studies have shown that addition of fats and oils to swine feed reduces its dustiness. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of several high–oil corn (HOC) varieties on reducing aerodynamic dust segregation (ADS) as compared with conventional or normal corn (NC) a...

In case of a special problem class, the simplex method can be implemented as a cutting-plane method that approximates a polyhedral convex objective function. In this paper we consider a regularized version of this cutting-plane method, and interpret the resulting procedure as a regularized simplex method. (Regularization is performed in the dual space and only affects the process through the pr...

We consider a new interpretation of the modified simplex imbeddings method. The main construction of this method is a simplex which contains a solution of convex non-differentiable problem. A cutting plane drawn through the simplex center is used to delete a part of the simplex without the solution. The most interesting feature of this method is the convergence estimation which depends only on ...

We investigated the normal and parallel ground reaction forces during downhill and uphill running. Our rationale was that these force data would aid in the understanding of hill running injuries and energetics. Based on a simple spring-mass model, we hypothesized that the normal force peaks, both impact and active, would increase during downhill running and decrease during uphill running. We an...
