BACKGROUND Differences in the types and percentages of essential amino acids (EAAs) in food could influence the value of protein consumed and proteins with a high content of EAAs are the most important components of poultry meat. The use of probiotics for meat and carcass quality improvement has been questioned, while feed supplementation with thyme essential oil (TEO) could be considered as us...

We present a speech processing strategy incorporating instantaneous frequency (IF) encoding for the enhancement of melody recognition performance of cochlear implants. For the IF extraction from incoming sound, we propose the use of a Teager energy operator (TEO), which is advantageous for its lower computational load. From time-frequency analysis, we verified that the TEO-based method provides...

Recent proposals suggest that 3$d$ transition-metal systems such as Na${}_{2}$Co${}_{2}$TeO${}_{6}$, in which the cobalt ions form honeycomb lattice sheets, may feature significant Kitaev interaction spite of nominally weak spin-orbit coupling and thus become candidates for realizing a spin liquid (KSL). The authors present data on thermal conductivity Na${}_{2}$Co${}_{2}$TeO${}_{6}$ show field...

New Ni3TeO6-type (NTO) and double perovskite (DPv) polymorphs of Co3TeO6 are synthesised at pressures 15 GPa.

This paper proposes a hybrid whale optimization algorithm (WOA) that is derived from the genetic and thermal exchange optimization-based (GWOA-TEO) to enhance global capability. First, high-quality initial population generated improve performance of GWOA-TEO. Then, (TEO) applied exploitation performance. Next, memory considered can store historical best-so-far solutions, achieving higher withou...

We study the location-inventory model as introduced by Teo et al. (2001) to analyze the impact of consolidation of distribution centers on facility and inventory costs. We extend their result on profitability of consolidation. We associate a cooperative game with each location-inventory situation and prove that this game has a nonempty core for identical and independent demand processes. This i...

The healthcare industry is experiencing a major transformation towards e-healthcare, which delivers and enhances related information through the Internet among healthcare stakeholders and makes the electronic signature (e-signature) more and more important. This paper uses a mature framework, Technology–Organization–Environment (TEO), in information system discipline to identify factors that af...
