A first experiment in 229 barrows examined the effect of the genetic type on growth, carcass composition and intramuscular fat (IMF) content and composition. Four genetic types were used: Landrace x Large White (LSLW), Duroc, either inseminated with boars from the same (D1D1) or a different line (D1D2), and Duroc x Iberian (D1IB). All pigs were reared until 200 days under the same conditions. I...

We present a combined analysis of the low–mass Initial Mass Function (IMF) for seven star forming regions. We first demonstrate that the ratios of stars to brown dwarfs are consistent with a single underlying IMF. Assuming the underlying IMF is the same for all seven clusters and by combining the ratio of stars to brown dwarfs from each cluster we constrain the shape of the brown dwarf IMF and ...

in this paper, we propose a new numerical method for solution of urysohn two dimensional mixed volterra-fredholm integral equations of the second kind on a non-rectangular domain. the method approximates the solution by the discrete collocation method based on inverse multiquadric radialbasis functions (rbfs) constructed on a set of disordered data. the method is a meshless method, because it i...

Executive Summary The stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) is remarkably consistent over a host of environments in the Galactic neighborhood. The physical processes responsible for producing a seemingly invariant IMF have long been the subject of theoretical investigation. Recently, a potential link has been made between the mass distribution of clumps in nearby molecular clouds and the stellar ...

in this article, we apply the multiquadric radial basis function (rbf) interpo-lation method for nding the numerical approximation of traveling wave solu-tions of the kawahara equation. the scheme is based on the crank-nicolsonformulation for space derivative. the performance of the method is shown innumerical examples.

The stellar initial mass function (IMF) integrated over an entire galaxy is an integral over all separate star-formation events. Since most stars form in star clusters with different masses the integrated IMF becomes an integral of the (universal or invariant) canonical stellar IMF over the star-cluster mass function. This integrated IMF is steeper (contains fewer massive stars per Gtype star) ...

A treecode is presented for evaluating sums defined in terms of the multiquadric radial basis function (RBF), φ(x) = (|x|2 + c2)1/2, where x ∈ R3 and c ≥ 0. Given a set of N nodes, evaluating an RBF sum directly requires CPU time that scales like O(N2). For a given level of accuracy, the treecode reduces the CPU time to O(N logN) using a far-field expansion of φ(x). We consider two options for ...

The intrinsic mode function (IMF) provides adaptive function bases for nonlinear and non-stationary time series data. A fast convergent iterative method is introduced in this paper to find the IMF components of the data, the method is faster and more predictable than the Empirical Mode Decomposition method devised by the author of Hilbert Huang Transform. The approach is to iteratively adjust t...

The problem introduced in this paper (denoted IMFW∞) is to modify the capacities on arcs from a network so that a given feasible flow becomes a maximum flow and the maximum cost of change of the capacities is minimum. This problem is a generalization of the inverse maximum flow problem under l∞ norm (denoted IMF∞, where the per unit cost of modification is equal to 1 on all arcs), which was pri...
