In this paper we show that the Lorentz space Lw,1(0,∞) has the weak-star uniform Kadec-Klee property if and only if inf t>0 w(αt) w(t) > 1 and sup t>0 φ(αt) φ(t) < 1 for all α ∈ (0, 1),

A range of options exist to improve pasture in the South Island hill and high country. Pasture yield cost seed, lime fertiliser from 55 trial sites were used calculate partial gross margins (GM) for a improvements on different slopes aspects. On drillable land, average rainfall &lt;500 mm/yr, pastures should be based subterranean clover or perennial lupins. Lucerne can where root growth is not ...

Two Latin square trials, using 21 or 24 multiparous lactating Holstein cows, compared the feeding value of red clover and alfalfa silages harvested over 2 yr. Red clover silages averaged 2 percentage units lower in crude protein (CP) and more than 2 percentage units lower in neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber than did alfalfa silage.
