This study investigated the effects of various standardized ileal digestible (SID) Trp to Lys ratios on the performance and carcass characteristics of late finishing gilts receiving low-CP (9.6%) diets supplemented with crystalline AA. Ninety gilts (89.1 ± 5.1 kg) were used in a dose–response study conducted for 35 d. Crystalline Trp (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, or 0.6 g/kg) was added to a corn–wheat bra...

PURPOSE Lung cancer radiotherapy treatments employ a wide variety of fractionation protocols. The choice among protocols mostly depends on the size of the target volume (GTV or ITV) and the volume of normal tissue receiving a critical dose. Rigorous mathematical criteria for normal tissue (NT) dose distributions were derived to determine the type of dose per fraction schedule that maximizes lin...

We study the concept of quadratic variation a continuous path along sequence partitions and its dependence with respect to choice partition sequence. introduce roughness show that for Hölder-continuous paths satisfying this condition, balanced is invariant Typical Brownian motion are shown satisfy property almost-surely any required step size condition. Using these results we derive formulation...

Abstract The objective of the present study was to investigate dose-response effects essential oil (EO) and dry extract (EX) Satureja khuzistanica (SK) on in vitro gas production kinetics, rumen fermentation, ruminal methanogenesis microbial protein synthesis. So, EO EX were tested at 0 (as control); 150 (low dose); 300, 450 (intermediate doses) 600 mg/L (high dose). produced over 24 h incubati...

in this paper, we study the problem of minimizing the ratio of two quadratic functions subject to a quadratic constraint. first we introduce a parametric equivalent of the problem. then a bisection and a generalized newton-based method algorithms are presented to solve it. in order to solve the quadratically constrained quadratic minimization problem within both algorithms, a semidefinite optim...

four in vitro experiments (exp.) were conducted to evaluate lavender essential oil (leo) effects at 0 (control), 250 (low dose), 500 (medium dose), 750 and 1000 µl per l(high doses) of incubation medium on rumen gas production kinetics (exp.1), ruminal digestibility and fermentation (exp.2), methane production (exp.3) and rumen acidosis (exp.4). the asymptote of gas production (a) increased qua...

We evaluated and compared various broken-line regression models and SAS (SAS Inst. Inc., Cary, NC) procedures for estimating nutrient requirements from nutrient dose response data. We used the SAS (Version 9) procedures NLIN and NLMixed and the response data of Parr et al. (2003), who evaluated the isoleucine requirement of growing swine. The SAS NLIN was used to fit 2 different broken-line reg...
