Long-term residual dry matter mapping on the San Joaquin Experimental Range provides a working example of this monitoring technique for grazing management and research. Residual dry matter (RDM) is the amount of old plant material left on the ground at the beginning of a new growing season. RDM indicates the previous season’s use and can be used to describe the health or condition of annual ran...

In production theory, it is necessary to be capable of predicting the production func- tion’s long-run behaviors. Hereof, returns to scale is a helpful concept. Returns to scale describes the reaction of a production function to the proportionally scaling all its input variables. In this regard, Data envelopment analysis (DEA) provides a com- prehensive framework for returns to scale evaluation...

Resource Discovery Mechanisms are commonly used to publish and retrieve information about network-available resources. Description Logics are basically a subset of Predicate Logic where expressiveness and computational complexity have been deeply studied. In this paper we present a formal approach to these mechanisms using Description Logics. This is based on a terminological model of the RDM (...

This paper presents a domain-oriented user attribute model for getting user personalized and real requirements on the field of the accurate retrieval. Resource Distribution Matrix (RDM) and User’s Personalized Preference Vector (UPPV) are created by analyzing the user feature and resource characteristic on domain – specific condition. We then present a method to improve the efficiency of the pe...

In this paper two fundamental questions in the contracted Schrödinger equation ~CSE! approach are considered by using Lipkin’s quasispin model: 1-1 mapping between the second-order reduced density matrix ~2-RDM! and the wave function of an excited state, and the uniqueness of the solution of CSE under incomplete N-representability conditions. We present some examples of the wave functions that ...

Supplementary material A. Symmetric tensors A.1. Background Let Rd1⇥···⇥dm be the set of d1⇥ · · ·⇥dm real m-order tensors. In this paper, we focus on cubical tensors, i.e., d1 = · · · = dm = d. We denote the set of m-order cubical tensors by Rd m . We denote the elements of M 2 Rdm by Mj1,...,jm , where j1, . . . , jm 2 [d]. Let = [ 1, . . . , m] be a permutation of {1, . . . ,m}. Given M 2 Rd...

Academic libraries and their staff are increasingly involved in the Research Data Management (RDM) practices processes universities. This article explores impact that such initiatives have on image identity of academic libraries. paper proposes involvement leadership RDM university has potential to re-shape library’s role, image, within university, going forward, contribute continuing relevance...

OBJECTIVES We compared catheter-based electromechanical mapping (NOGA system, Biosense-Webster, Haifa, Israel) with positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for prediction of reversibly dysfunctional myocardium (RDM) and irreversibly dysfunctional myocardium (IDM) in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction. Furthermore, we established t...

Willson and Reynolds (in this issue) challenged my thesis that the regression-based discrepancy method (RDM) is not a valid tool to detect aptitude-achievement discrepancies. In this response, I show that the statistical and theoretical counterarguments of Willson and Reynolds are based on a misreading of the statistical models presented. Furthermore, I demonstrate that the regression adjustmen...
