Development of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) leaf meal as an animal feed
… observed at 10% inclusion of cassava leaf meal (CLM). High levels (20 and 30%) of CLM depressed gain, feed intake and feed per gain. Weights of spleen and liver (% of body weight) linearly increased with increasing levels of CLM. Carcass pigmentation values favored the CLM-based diets. Dietary …

Design of a formed - folded compliant layered mechanism
… mechanism. These compliant layered mechanisms, CLMs, consist of four layers: (1) a skeleton cut from a single sheet of material that provides structural elements and compliant amplification mechanisms, (2) actuation, (3) control circuitry, and (4) sensors or other functional components as …

Automatic facial expression analysis
… analysis of the Constrained Local Model (CLM) for facial expression and head pose tracking. I propose a number of extensions that make location of facial features more accurate. Secondly, I introduce a 3D Constrained Local Model (CLM-Z) which takes full advantage of depth information …

Development and validation of the cancer literacy measure for African Americans
… Cancer Literacy Measure for African Americans (CLM-AA), designed to measure African American women’s cultural and conceptual knowledge of breast and cervical cancer. Survey data were collected from 301 African American women using online survey methodology. Exploratory factor analyses revealed …

Automated Loading and Unloading of the Stratasys FDM 1600 Rapid Prototyping System
… system, named Continuous Layered Manufacturing (CLM), has been developed to automatically load and unload the FDM 1600 rapid prototyping system (Stratasys, Inc.). The modifications made to the FDM 1600 system are minimal. The door to the FDM 1600 build chamber is removed, and the .SML build files …

Wetland model in an earth systems modeling framework for regional environmental policy analysis
… water fluxes model, the Community Land Model (CLM). CLM is the land fluxes component of the Integrated Global Systems Model (IGSM), a framework that simulates the relationship of physical systems to climate variations. Wetlands play an important role in the storage and regulation of the global …

Biomechanical Comparison of Traditional Laminectomy and Minimally‑Invasive Facetectomies
… pure moment (PM), combined loading and moment (CLM), and the coupled‑eccentric loading (CEL) protocols. The PM testing protocol is the standard form of biomechanical testing of the spine. The CLM testing protocol introduced compressive and shear forces to increase translation in the sagittal …

Three-Dimensional Volume Averaged Soil-Moisture Transport Model: A Scalable Scheme for Representing Subgrid Topographic Control in Land-Atmosphere Interactions
… existing 1-D scheme in the Common Land Model (CLM), one of state-of-the-art LSMs. The new coupled model (CLM+VAST) performance is investigated using the new SBCs and the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) forcing data in the off-line mode for a study domain around the Ohio Valley region. …

Character language models for generalization of multilingual named entity recognition
… is to develop a Character-level Language Model (CLM) that, as we show, allow us to better learn \what is a name"". We analyze the capabilities of corpus-agnostic Character-level Language Models (CLMs) in the binary task of distinguishing name tokens from non-name tokens and demonstrate that CLMs …

Crop water stress under climate change uncertainty : global policy and regional risk
… the Community Land Model - Agriculture module (CLM-AG) that models crop growth and water stress. It is a global generic crop model built in the framework of the Community Land Model and was evaluated for maize, cotton and spring wheat. A full climate model, the IGSM-CAM, was first used to force …

Data driven learning for feature binding and perceptual grouping with the Competitive Layer Model
… the so called Competitive Layer Model (CLM). The main result of the work is the development of an automatic learning method which extracts suitable interaction patterns from exemplary target groupings.

Clustering Analysis of Zernike Coefficients From High Order Aberration Patients
… of clustering of linear regression models (CLM). EM algorithm is used to infer the maximum likelihood estimate of parameters for each cluster. Bayesian information criterion (BIC) combined with Bootstrapped maximum volume (BMV) criterion are used to determine the number of clusters. The …

Avaliação da co-infecção do circovirus suíno 2 com Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae em amostras de pulmões coletadas em abatedouro
… de pulmões, sendo 45 com lesões macroscópicas (CLM) e 75 sem lesões macroscópicas (SLM) foram analisados pela histopatologia. Destes, foram selecionadas aleatoriamente 32 amostras (sendo 16 sem lesões macroscópicas e 16 com lesões macroscópicas) para a realização dos testes de imunoistoquímica …

Drought on the North American high plains: modeling effects of vegetation, temperature and rainfall perturbations on regional hydrology
… them. The model was constructed using ParFlow-CLM, which represents surface and subsurface processes in detail with physically based equations. Numerical experiments were run to perturb vegetation, precipitation and temperature separately, as well as a baseline scenario with no changes and two …

A case for multiple item response theory: The Cancer Health Literacy Measure-Breast and Cervical Cancer-Uruguay
… Measure-Breast and Cervical Cancer-Uruguay (CLM-BCC). This measure assessed women’s cultural and conceptual knowledge, which is an area of health literacy that is understudied at this point in time. Cultural and conceptual knowledge is comprised of women’s attitudes, beliefs, emotions, and …

Assessing and Improving the Representation of Hydrologic Processes in Atmospheric, Ocean, and Land Modeling and Dataset Generation
… of groundwater in the Community Land Model (CLM) as used in the Community Earth System Model is made more realistic by including variable soil thickness. Because the bottom of the model soil column is placed at effectively bedrock, the unconfined aquifer model currently used in CLM is removed …

Seasonal hydrologic dynamics under changing climate, land use-land cover and human influence
… A1B emission scenario. The Common Land Model (CLM) is used as the hydrologic model for the study since it incorporates detailed physical process representation, uses physical parameterization without the need for calibration and can be run at relatively high spatial and temporal resolutions. A …

Alcuin's heirs : the early reception of Alcuin's De Rhetorica and De Dialectica.
… manuscript: Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 6407 CV). First, because it is the oldest manuscript containing De rhetorica and De dialectica. Secondly, because in my view, recent analyses of the contents of this manuscript have been mistaken in associating its recension of De rhetorica and …

Transferability of regional climate models over different climatic domains
… simulations (2002 -2004) from five RCMs (CLM, GEMLAM, MRCC, RCA3 and RSM). In simulating seasonal and diurnal cycles of CBH and surface variables, the European models (CLM and RCA3) demonstrate a clear home advantage over the North American models (GEMLAM, MRCC and RSM). Principal …
