This report describes a new xed-rate entropy-constrained quantization scheme for stationary memoryless sources where the structure of code-words is derived from a variable-length scalar quantizer. This method is a sequential encoding algorithm which looks for the quantizer partition in a number of steps. It starts from the quantization points which result in the minimum distance among the avail...

Recently there have been discussions about which complex metrics should be allowable in quantum gravity. These assumed that the matter fields were real valued. We make observation for compactified solutions it makes sense to demand convergence of theory's path integral higher-dimensional parent theory. Upon compactification this allows more general configurations lower-dimensional theory, parti...

in order to compare the precision of predictions of nrc (2001) and cncps models, 17 holstein fresh cows were assigned in a randomized complete block design to a balanced diet with nrc (2001) and cncps software. the predicted dmi, energy allowable milk and protein allowable milk by both models were compared with observed values. the precision of the predictions of models was evaluated by calcula...

Some access pricing regimes derive allowable cash flows to provide investors with an expectation of receiving a required real pre – (company) tax rate of return, with compensation for inflation built in via the allowable return of capital (depreciation). The required real pre-tax return is derived from nominal (or real) post-tax required returns. Techniques commonly used to transform post tax i...
