Modeling Of Crossbred Cattle Growth, Comparison Between Cubic And Piecewise Random Regression Models, H R. Mirzaei, Wayne S. Pitchford, Arunas P. Verbyla
Modeling Of Crossbred Cattle Growth, Comparison Between Cubic And Piecewise Random Regression Models, H R. Mirzaei, Wayne S. Pitchford, Arunas P. Verbyla
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
Two analyses, cubic and piecewise random regression, were conducted to model growth of crossbred cattle from birth to about two years of age, investigating the ability of a piecewise procedure to fit growth traits without the complications of the cubic model. During a four-year period (1994-1997) of the Australian "Southern Crossbreeding Project", mature Hereford cows (N = 581) were mated to 97 sires of Angus, Belgian Blue, Hereford, Jersey, Limousin, South Devon, and Wagyu breeds, resulting in 1141 steers and heifers born over four years. Data included 13 (for steers) and eight (for heifers) live body weight measurements, made approximately …

Differential kinematic has a wide range application area in robot kinematics. The main advantage of the differential kinematic is that it can be easily implemented any kind of mechanisms. In differential kinematic method, Jacobian is used as a mapping operator in the velocity space. The joint velocities are required to be integrated to obtain the pose of the robot manipulator. This integration can be evaluated by using numerical integration methods, since the inverse kinematic equations are highly complex and nonlinear. Thus, the performances of the numerical integration methods affect the trajectory tracking application. This paper compares the performances of numerical …
A Comparison Study Of Ellipsoid Fitting For Pose Normalization Of Hippocampal Shapes, Luping Zhou, Oliver Salvado
A Comparison Study Of Ellipsoid Fitting For Pose Normalization Of Hippocampal Shapes, Luping Zhou, Oliver Salvado
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
Pose normalization is an important step to establish shape correspondence for group comparison of anatomical structures. The most basic and widely used way is ellipsoid fitting, which provides three principal axes for shape alignment, and is often solved by least square fitting. In this paper, it is recognized that the deformation caused by neuro-degenerative diseases is usually locally irregular, behaving like the outliers to the majority of the anatomical surfaces. Therefore we hypothesize that the distance function in L1-norm may perform better than that in L2-norm for hippocampal surface fitting, and thus conduct a study to compare the influence of …
