Body frame measures and perceptions of frame size and weight
… was to examine five methods of determining frame size. In addition, self perception of frame size and of desired weight was compared to two height-weight table recommendations. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to determine relationships between measurements used as criteria …

Relationships among lifetime measures of growth and frame size for commercial beef females in a pasture-based production system in the Appalachian region of the United States
… has placed increased focus on mature cow size as a result of its influence on production efficiency and profitability. The objectives of this study were to evaluate relationships among lifetime measures of body weight (BW) and frame score (FS) in commercial beef females, and to assess the …

Growth, Efficiency and Carcass Composition of Three Frame Sizes of Hogs Slaughtered at Fat Constant or Weight Constant Endpoints
… in a completely randomized design to three frame size groups (small, medium and large). Birth weight and forearm length were the criteria used in the allotment procedure. Hogs were slaughtered either at a fat constant endpoint (2.54 cm) or weight constant endpoint (110 kg). Growth and …

The effects of a dairy cow body condition scoring system on selected production and metabolic parameters
… obtaining body condition scores, body weight, frame size measurements and blood samples. Herds were chosen according to rolling herd milk production average and cows were chosen at random from within five Estimated Relative Producing Ability groupings to insure a representative sample of herds …

Growth, Efficiency and Carcass Characteristics of Two Frame Sizes of Steers Slaughtered at Fat-Constant Endpoints
… The steers were also divided into two different frame size groups in an effort to accurately classify body size differences.

Design and stability analysis of high performance packet switches
… scheme is named round-robin with adaptable frame size (RR-AF) arbitration. The frame size in RR-AF is adaptably changed by the serviced and unserviced traffic. If a switch is stable, the switch provides 100% throughput. Here, it is proved that RR-AF can achieve 100% throughput under uniform …

Economic Pasture-Based Cow-Calf Systems for Appalachia
… were analyzed. Comparisons among 2 cow frame size and 2 calf creep system treatments for production efficiency (total weaning weight per land area), and net returns to the enterprise, were made. Pastures with medium frame cows and designated creep systems had the greatest production …

Robust Content Identification and De-Duplication with Scalable Fisher Vector In video with Temporal Sampling
… of selected key point features, and a frame significance function based non-uniform temporal sampling scheme on the video segments, to create a very compact binary representation of the content fragments that is agnostic to the typical coding and transcoding variations. The key …

Finding perceptually optimal operating points of a real time interactive video-conferencing system
… allow us to modify certain parameters, such as frame rate and frame size, which were not previously possible. The testbed takes as input, two recorded videos of the two speakers of a face-to-face conversation and desired output video parameters, such as frame rate, frame size and delay. A video …

Link layer protocol performance of indoor infrared wireless communications
… are derived for optimum values of the window and frame size parameters. Analytical results indicate that significant utilization increase is observed if the optimum values are implemented, especially for high error rate links. A protocolimprovement that utilizes special Supervisory frames …

QoS provisioning in multimedia streaming
… needed. Prediction of the variation of the I frame size using Least Mean Square (LMS) is first proposed. Owing to a smoother sequence, better prediction has been achieved as compared to the composite MPEG video traffic prediction scheme. One problem with this LMS algorithm is its slow …

A Novel Approach for Continuous Speech Tracking and Dynamic Time Warping. Adaptive Framing Based Continuous Speech Similarity Measure and Dynamic Time Warping using Kalman Filter and Dynamic State Model
… which models the input (test) speech signal frame as a unidirectional moving object along the template speech signal. The most similar corresponding frame position in the template speech is estimated which is fused with a feature based similarity observation and the noise variances using a …

Assessing the reliability of plant-wax markers to delineate diet choice and feed efficiency in beef heifers
… diet choices, 24 heifers from large and moderate frame size lines were evaluated at two instances. Cubed red clover and fescue hays were offered ad libitum. After an acclimation period, feed intakes and body weights were collected for 10 days; fecal samples were collected for the final 5 days. …

Estrogen, energy, and bone: a life history approach to understanding skeletal phenotypes
… and anthropometric measures of current body size and habitual use affect frame size and bone density. This chapter focused exclusively on the Polish sample and did not include the U.S. sample of Polish-American women. I found that in this sample habitual activity seems more important than …

Simulation of an Anti-Collision Algorithm for RFID Systems using a Code Division Multiple Access with Adaptive Interference Cancellation (CDMA/AIC) Approach with Dynamic Processing Gain (Gp)
… ALOHA-type algorithms. The time slots and frames of the tags are manipulated to deal with the collision problem. They work with different ALOHA protocol variants that are always trying to reduce the number of collisions compared to the previous techniques. The most promising of the ALOHA …

Supplementation Strategies for Growing and Finishing Beef Cattle on Tall Fescue Pastures in the Southeast
… event in the early morning. It has been hypothesized that these morning feedings could disrupt the natural diurnal grazing pattern of cattle to negatively affect forage utilization and overall cost of gain. Additionally, while self-feeder systems using supplements containing intake limiters give …
