Poultry fat has become a more economical source of energy than byproducts currently used. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary fat source (poultry fat or beef tallow) in finishing diets for cattle on the fatty acid composition of beef. Sixty Angus crossbred steers (410.8 kg initial BW) were stratified by source, blocked by weight, and assigned within block to ...

In this paper, it is shown that the category of stratified $L$-generalized convergence spaces is monoidal closed if the underlying truth-value table $L$ is a complete residuated lattice. In particular, if the underlying truth-value table $L$ is a complete Heyting Algebra, the Cartesian closedness of the category is recaptured by our result.

Accurate and efficient road adhesion coefficient estimation is the premise for proper functioning of vehicle active safety control system. With increased application distributed drive vehicles on-board sensors, a multi-module self-organizing feedforward neural network (LM-MMSOFNN) based on improved Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) learning algorithm proposed online estimation. In this method, dynamics ...

1. Using environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect aquatic macroorganisms is a new survey method with broad applicability. However, the origin, state and fate of aqueous macrobial eDNA – which collectively determine how well eDNA can serve as a proxy for directly observing organisms and how eDNA should be captured, purified and assayed – are poorly understood. 2. The size of aquatic particles provides...

A simple and elegant method is presented to perform anti-aliasing in computer-generated images. The method uses stratified sampling to reduce the occurrence of artifacts in the image and features a B-spline filter, of some desired order, to compute the final luminous intensity at each pixel. The method is scalable through the specification of the filter order. A B-spline filter of order one amo...

A simple and elegant method is presented to perform anti-aliasing in ray traced images. The method uses stratified sampling to reduce the occurrence of artifacts in an image and features a B-spline filter to compute the final luminous intensity at each pixel. The method is scalable through the specification of the filter order. A B-spline filter of order one amounts to a simple anti-aliasing sc...
