characteristic of the udder, milk traits and their relationship were investigated in 32 awassi ewes raised in a commercial flock. commencing one month after lambing milk yield was recorded at monthly intervals until the ewes were dried. also, the udder traits were measured, including udder width, udder circumference, udder length, distance between teats and length and diameter of both teats. re...

A method of estimating the characteristic impedance and propagation constant of power line cables as a function of frequency is presented in this paper. The proposed method includes simultaneous measurements on both end-points of various cables of different lengths and a specifically developed data analysis and estimation algorithm. Experimental results are presented and the method’s validity i...

Given a Riemann surface with boundary S, the lengths of a maximal system of disjoint simple geodesic arcs on S that start and end at ∂S perpendicularly are coordinates on the Teichmüller space T (S). We compute the Weil-Petersson Poisson structure on T (S) in this system of coordinates and we prove that it limits pointwise to the piecewise-linear Poisson structure defined by Kontsevich on the a...

In this paper, we employ the concept of the Generalized Discrete Fourier Transform, which in turn relies on the Hasse derivative of polynomials, to give a general construction of Reed-Solomon codes over Galois fields of characteristic not necessarily co-prime with the length of the code. The constructed linear codes  enjoy nice algebraic properties just as the classic one.

In condensed matter physics, simplified descriptions are obtained by coarse-graining the features of a system at a certain characteristic length, defined as the typical length beyond which some properties are no longer correlated. From a physics standpoint, in vitro DNA has thus a characteristic length of 300 base pairs (bp), the Kuhn length of the molecule beyond which correlations in its orie...

this paper proposed analytical solutions for the buckling analysis of rectangular single-layered graphene sheets under in-plane loading on all edges simply is supported. the characteristic equations of the graphene sheets are derived and the analysis formula is based on the nonlocal mindlin plate. this theory is considering both the small length scale effects and transverse shear deformation ef...
