High-moisture cereal grains are often treated with ammonia to prevent spoilage and for perceived animal performance advantages, but there few reports on the effects of treatment cattle performance. This study was carried out 101 Charolais quantify feeding ammonia-treated maize intensively fattened beef cattle. Animals were assigned 16 pens in two sheds all animals each pen fed same diet 176 d. ...

Semianalytical solutions are developed for turbulent hydrogen-air plume. We derived analytical expressions for plume centerline variables radius, velocity, and density deficit in terms of a single universal function, called plume function. By combining the obtained analytical expressions of centerline variables with empirical Gaussian expressions of the mean variables, we obtain semianalytical ...

We show that a vibrational instability of the spectrum of weakly interacting quasilocal harmonic modes creates the maximum in the inelastic scattering intensity in glasses, the Boson peak. The instability, limited by anharmonicity, causes a complete reconstruction of the vibrational density of states ~DOS! below some frequency vc , proportional to the strength of interaction. The DOS of the new...

The problem of equivalence of binary forms under linear changes of variables is shown to be a special case of the problem of equivalence of particle Lagrangians under the pseudogroup of transformations of both the independent and dependent vartables. The latter problem has a complete solution based on the equivalence method of Cartan. There are two particular rational covariants of any binary f...

The increased use of drones and air-taxis is expected to make airspace resources more congested, necessitating the unmanned aircraft systems traffic management (UTM) initiatives ensure safe efficient operations. Typically, strategic UTM involves solving an optimization problem that ensures proposed flight schedules do not exceed vertiport capacities. However, dynamic nature low lead-time applic...

It is well known that there exist universal Turing machines (UTM). Such a UTM simulates any special Turing machine (TM) M in a certain way. There are several ways of simulation. One is that a UTM U simulating a TM M with input w halts if and only if M halts on input w. Another possibility is that any computation step of M is simulated by U using some number of steps which are be restricted by s...

In this section, we describe our high-level strategy for data acquisition, as well as our multi-view stereo processing pipeline for estimating the scene geometry and free space. Our goals in this section are twofold. First, we would like to obtain a rough estimate of the scene geometry, in the form of a triangle mesh in real-world coordinates. Second, we would like to obtain a strictly conserva...
