Shortening or omitting the dry period of dairy cows improves metabolic health in early lactation and reduces management transitions for dairy cows. The success of implementation of these strategies depends on their impact on milk yield and farm profitability. Insight in these impacts is valuable for informed decision-making by farmers. The aim of this study was to investigate how shortening or ...

The paper describes the results of a project specifically designed to evaluate the utility of Prolog for industrial software production. The project was financed by the IBM Canada Laboratory and the work was done by the University of Montréal in collaboration with the Computer Research Institute of Montréal (CRIM). Initially, the objective was to compare the industrial implementation of a telec...

A Brody curve, a.k.a. normal curve, is a holomorphic map f from the complex line C to the complex projective space P such that the family of its translations {z 7→ f(z + a) : a ∈ C} is normal. We prove that Brody curves omitting n hyperplanes in general position have growth order at most one, normal type. This generalizes a result of Clunie and Hayman who proved it for n =

Under the background of industrial production, standardized operation and efficient fashion design has become a predictable requirement. Systematic advocates integration concepts into process establishes theoretical basis systematic design. In this paper, based on innovation practice clothing enterprises, through creation style activities, simplify behavior rules enterprises design, make standa...

The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of cultivar and industrial processing on total polyphenols, anthocyanins, hydroxycinnamic acids and antioxidant activity in concentrated sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L., cvs. Marasca and Oblačinska) juices. Samples were collected during four processing steps: from fresh fruit prior to processing, then from pressed, filtered and concentr...

Choreography refers to creation of dance motions according both music and knowledge, where the created dances should be style-specific consistent. However, most existing methods generate using given as only reference, lacking stylized dancing namely, flag motion patterns contained in different styles. Without prior these approaches are not promising controllable style or diverse moves for each ...

Intra-firm trade, from parents to affiliates, has been combined with standard models of multinational production (MP) deliver gravity-style predictions for foreign affiliates sales. Nonetheless, the evidence shows that intra-firm trade is concentrated among a small set large firms. Using firm level data 35 countries, we document only firms belonging corporations (MNCs) in upper tail firm's size...
