one hundred female markhoz goats (42±5 kg) were used to investigate the ‘male effect’ on estrous synchronization and reproductive characteristics of female goat during the breeding season. this was carried out in three separate experiments. in the first experiment, forty female goats were used in 4 groups with different distance from the male goats (i.e. source of pheromone secretion); a1 (1 me...

*Correspondence: [email protected] Faculty of Science, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, China Abstract In this paper, the problem of exponential lag synchronization for a class of neural networks with mixed delays including discrete and distributed delays is investigated via adaptive intermittent control. Based on piecewise analytic method, some sufficient conditions for globally exponentia...

In this paper, we present a study in the evolution of cooperative behavior, specifically synchronization, through digital evolution and multilevel selection. In digital evolution, a population of self-replicating computer programs exists in a user-defined computational environment and is subject to instructionlevel mutations and natural selection. Multilevel selection links the survival of the ...

We consider the problem of synchronizing a group of oscillators coupled by a network that is modelled by a multipleinput/multiple-output dynamical system. We provide results that can be used to establish asymptotic synchronization of a given system and also to construct feedback oscillators for which synchronization is guaranteed. These results are based on a new notion of passivity with respec...

Information Technology Portfolio Management (ITPM) is a topic of intense interest in the strategic management of information technology (IT). In ITPM, IT synchronization with corporate business strategy is operationalized by the application of the principles of financial portfolio management to IT investments. This perspective is crucial to the continual alignment of business strategy and IT in...

Using an Electric Differential (ED) in electric vehicle has many advantages such as flexibility and direct torque control of the wheels during cornering and risky maneuvers. Despite its reported successes and advantages, the ED has several problems limits its applicability, for instance, an increment of control loops and an increase of computational effort. In this paper, an electric differenti...

localization of sources in patients with focal seizure has recently attracted many attentions. in the severe cases of focal seizure, there is a possibility of doing neurosurgery operation to remove the defected tissue. the prosperity of this heavy operation completely depends on the accuracy of source localization. to increase this accuracy, this paper presents a new weighted beamforming method...

background: the differential efficacy between long gnrh agonist with antagonist can partly be due to the preexisting differences in the early antral follicles before ovarian stimulation. objective: to compare the effect of pretreatment by estradiol with gnrh antagonist on antral follicular size coordination and basal hormone levels in gnrh antagonist protocol. materials and methods: on cycle da...

The parallel and distributed systems represent one of the important solutions proposed to ameliorate the performance of the sequential association rule mining algorithms. However, parallelization and distribution process is not trivial and still facing many problems of synchronization, communication, and workload balancing. Our study is limited to the workload balancing problem. In this paper, ...
