Modeling growth of pigs reared to heavy weights
… growth performance measures of pigs reared to heavy weights in commercial facilities and to evaluate different methods of modeling these relationships. The first study was designed to develop growth curves of live animal growth performance and ultrasound measures for barrows and gilts from …

Design synthesis of articulated heavy vehicles with active trailer steering systems
A new design synthesis method for articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) with an active trailer steering (ATS) system is examined and evaluated. Due to their heavy weights, large sizes, and complex configurations, AHVs have poor maneuverability at low speeds, and low lateral stability at high speeds. …

Modified principal components regression
… roots and latent vectors of X'X, tends to place heavy weights on the latent vectors corresponding to small latent roots of X'X. Thus, the estimates of regression coefficients corresponding to the regressors involved in multicollinearities tend to be dominated by the multicollinearities. …

Effects of Pack Weight on Endurance of Long-distance Hikers
… lack of comfort in the remote wilderness. These heavy weights may affect hikers' ability to walk in comfort and result in physical injuries such as ankle sprains, knee pain, muscular fatigue, and soft tissue damage. Heavy pack weights can cause injuries and possibly prevent hikers from completing …

Developing Breeding Objectives for Targhee Sheep
… of prolificacy and triplet survival. Economic weights (EW) were derived for estimated breeding values (BV) from National Sheep Improvement Program genetic evaluations for 120 d weaning weight (WW), maternal milk (MM), yearling weight (YW), fleece weight (FW), fiber diameter (FD), staple length …
