the objective of the present study was to estimate genetic trends for lactation milk yield, persistency of milk yield, somatic cell count and interval between first and second calving in holstein dairy cows of iran. the dataset consisted of 210,625 test day and 25,883 first parity cows with milk yield recorded from july 2002 to september 2007 comprising 97 herds in iran. breeding values of anim...

The Osiris system implements a data model which was originally conceived for view management in a database perspective. Although this data model was designed independently from the object-orientation and from the current of terminological logics, it present similarities with both but also important differences. This paper presents the main features of the Osiris system and its data model which ...

The aim of this article is to explore and investigate possibilities of reuse already known techniques from object and objectoriented processing for effective processing in XML-native database systems. The article provides explanation of impedance problem, specifically impedance mismatch problem of the middleware, semi-orthogonal persistency methods, and also presents results of experiments with...

250 COMIC Deliverable D4.2 for graphical display of history information and to include services for event interpretation. To achieve support for uncoupled awareness, an event notification service has to be integrated. Last but not least, it would be necessary to provide full object persistency in order to make the prototype stable enough for real practical work. This is currently not realised t...

To enhance the field persistency of S. litura nuclear polyhedrosis virus (SLNPV), three chemicals viz. cupric ammonium nitrate, tinopal and cupric sulphate were tried as protectants (0.01 mg/ml) against natural sunlight (UV) irradiation. On exposure for 8 hr and subsequent bioassaying (diet surface treatment), it was found that cupric sulphate protected the polyhedrosis inclusion bodies (PIBs),...

This article develops iterative machine learning (IML) for output tracking. The inputoutput data generated during iterations to develop the model used in the iterative update. The main contribution of this article to propose the use of kernel-based machine learning to iteratively update both the model and the model-inversion-based input simultaneously. Additionally, augmented inputs with persis...

Mechanical alternans is observed in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction. We report a case of dilated cardiomyopathy with mechanical alternans. He presented with a remarkable decrease in plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels after beta-blocker therapy despite persistency of the mechanical alternans. Mechanical alternans may persist after improvement of hemodynamics, diastol...

We present a Concurrent-Learning approach for adaptive control that uses recorded data concurrently with instantaneous data for adaptive flight control. Concurrent learning can guarantee tracking error and weight error convergence to zero subject to a verifiable condition on linear independence of the recorded data; without requiring persistency of excitation in the system states. Simulation st...
