Modeling nutrient requirements and measuring nutrient outputs of feedlot cattle
… agents have resulted in heavier carcass weights. Animal nutrient requirements are dynamic and the ability to accurately predict the requirements of modern, heavy cattle based on historic data has not been explored. A dataset derived from 19 studies containing 289 means for treatments …

Accelerating Gauss-Newton filters on FPGA's
… then, it is now possible to reconsider more heavy-weight, robust algorithms such as the original nonrecursive Gauss-Newton filter on which the Kalman filter is based. This dissertation investigates the acceleration of such a filter using FPGA technology, making use of custom, …

The Mirrors of Naturalism: Stephen Crane's Pragmatic Determinism
… Stephen Crane’s fiction reveals determinism’s heavy weight upon the naturalist genre (the sense that humans cannot affect their worlds), yet unlike Frank Norris or Jack London, for instance, Crane innovatively employs pragmatic elements that work against the very deterministic frameworks that …
