The first purpose of this study is to present an alternative robust model in order to describe ruminal degradation kinetics of forages and to minimize the fitting problems. For this purpose, the Korkmaz-Uckardes (KU) model, which has a logarithmic structure, was developed. The second purpose of this study is to estimate, by using the Korkmaz-Uckardes (KU)model, the parameters tp (the time to pr...

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the application of forecasting models along with the use of residual control charts to assess production processes whose samples have autocorrelation characteristics. The main objective is to determine the efficiency of control charts for individual observations (CCIO) and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) charts when they are applied to res...

Many thinning algorithms for 2D binary images, or modifications of existing ones, have been proposed in recent years. The one given herein is surprisingly simple compared to most of them, and still it has theoretically favorable properties. Actually, it provides a connected single-pixel in width whenever possible well-centered homototic skeleton that allows shapes to be nearly reconstructed. In...

The fit of structural equation models with normally distributed observed and latent variables can be evaluated by examining the normalized and standardized residuals computed in Mplus. These residuals are available for the ML, MLR, and MLF estimators and can be obtained by the residual output command. Suppose that Y is the vector of dependent observed variables and η is the vector of latent var...

The Galerkin weighted residuals method is extended solve the laminar, fully developed flow and heat transfer of Al2O3-water nanofluid inside polygonal ducts with round corners for the constant heat flux and uniform wall temperature boundary conditions. Using the method, semi-analytical, closed-form solutions are obtained for the friction coefficient and the Nusselt number in terms of the radius...

In contour milling, to render the machining process more automated with significant productivity without remaining material after machining, a new recovery coefficient was developed. The coefficient was inserted in the computation of contour parallel tool paths to fix the radial depth of cut in the way to ensure an optimized overlap area between the passes in the corners, without residuals. Thu...

for this reason the samples were obtained from three area in kerman province that cartivate corn in large amounts (giroft, kahnooj, baft).the amounts of samples were enough for both voluntary consumption and investigation of digestibility. after that samples had been chopped by electric chopper we sampled again from every sample and its chemical compositions were determined with standard method...
