Objective: The main goal of our current study was to improve the growth curve of meat animals by decreasing the birth weight while achieving a finishing weight that is the same as that before selection but at younger age. Methods: Random regression model was developed to derive various selection indices to achieve desired gains in body weight at target time points throughout the fattening process. We considered absolute and proportional gains at specific ages (in weeks) and for various stages (i.e., early, middle, late) during the fattening process. Results: The point gain index was particularly easy to use because breeders can assign a specific age (in weeks) as a time point and model either the actual weight gain desired or a scaled percentage gain in body weight. Conclusion: The point gain index we developed can achieve the desired weight gain at any given postnatal week of the growing process and is an easy-to-use and practical option for improving the growth curve.

In the mobile communication using DS-CDMA systems the problem of multiple user interference which reduce the performance is generated by multiple user access. In this paper to solve this problem we proposed the direct decision blind adaptive receiver with knowledge of only the desired user's spreading sequence. Simulation result present that the total user's power has equal gain The gain of signal to interference ratio for the proposed blind DD-LMS receiver has about 6[dB] than conventional receiver at additive white Gaussian noise and large gain at multipath channels. And when interference user's power has more large gain than desired user's power the gain of SIR for the proposed receiver has large value. And simulation result of bit error rate present that DD-LMS receiver has higher performance than LCCMA receiver. Thus the proposed blind DD-LMS receiver has robustness against interference of high power user and multipath channels.

QFT(Quantitative Feedback Theory) is a very practical design technique that emphasizes the use of feedback for achieving the desired system performance tolerances in despite of plant uncertainty and disturbance. The gain-phase loop shaping procedure of QFT is employed to design controller, until the bounds at desired frequencies are satisfied. This paper presents a transfer function synthesis using TLS(Total Least Squares) and offers a loop shaping method with the suggested technique. An example illustrates a feasibility of the presented algorithm.

Pole placement method is widely used in controller design. For the stability of the closed loop system, user-specified desired locations including extra pole locations in the s-plane is chosen and by some procedure, feedback gain is obtained. In this paper, only desired pole location is used, and the calculation process is done for attaining linear quadratic stability. Similarly transformation is used for this. By computer simulations using MATLAB, the effectiveness is shown.

In this paper, we deal with a tracking gain-up controller design problem to control effectively the shake of tracking actuator after a track seek. A minimum tracking gain-up open-loop gain can be calculated by estimating the shake of tracking actuator and a desired transient specification is considered to diminish effectively the shake of actuator. A tracking gain-up controller is designed by considering a robust $H_{\infty}$ control problem with a regional stability constraint. The proposed tracking gain-up controller design method is applied to the track-following system of a DVD recording device and is evaluated through the experimental results.

Fixed-gain and variable-gain PID control of tension in the winding section of a simple web transport system were evaluated. An open-loop mathematical model for the web transport system was derived and used for the design of the PID controllers. The winding roll radius is a timevarying parameter in the model. The fixed-gain PID controller designed at a particular instant of time could not meet the desired specifications, whereas the variable-gain PID controller could produce accurate tension control in the winding section. An advantage of the variable-gain control is its simplicity. This approach is easy to implement and shows promise for applications where the time-varying parameters are easily measured.

The brake gain adaptive wheel slip controller for a vehicle is designed in this paper. The brake gain from braking pressure to braking torque defined by friction coefficient, friction area and effective friction radius is estimated by the adaptive law based on the wheel slip dynamics. And the wheel slip controller is designed based on the estimated brake gain. The robustness of the designed controller is analyzed using Lyapunov function and the convergence of brake gain is verified. Proposed wheel slip controller is verified via CarSim simulation with two kinds of desired wheel slip ratio.

In this paper we design and evaluate the longitudinal nonlinear N(aub)z-CSAS(Command and Stability Augmentation System) flight control law in \"DMI(Dynamic Model Inversion)-method\" and classical \"Gain Scheduling-method\", respectively, to meet the handling quality requirements associated with push-over pull-up maneuver. It is told that the flight control law designed in \"DM-method\" is adequate to the full flight regime without gain scheduling and is efficient to produce the time response shape desired to the handling quality requirements. On the contrary, the flight control law designed in \"Gain Scheduling-method\" is easy to be implemented in flight control computer and insensitive to variation of the actuator model characteristics.n of the actuator model characteristics.

A novel approach is presented to improve the array performance of the alternate mainbeam nulling in a linearly constrained adaptive array processor in coherent environment. The convergence parameters in the linearly constrained LMS algorithm with a unit gain constraint and a null constraint in the direction of the desired signal are adaptively estimated to reduce the error power between the desired signal and the array output in the 2-dimensional convergence parameter space. It is shown that the case for estimating the convergence parameter for the unit gain constraint with that for null constraint fixed performs best. Also, it is observed that the proposed method performs significantly better than conventional methods as the number of coherent interferences increases.

This paper presents a tracking gain-up controller design method to control effectively the vibration of tracking actuator caused by external shocks and remaining velocity after seek control. A pole placement constraint is considered to assure a desired transient response against the vibration of tracking actuator. A loop gain-up constraint is introduced to hold the tracking gain-up loop gain and control bandwidth within allowable bounds. The pole placement constraint is expressed by a matrix inequality and the loop gain-up constraint is considered as an objective function so that genetic algorithm can be applied. Finally, a tracking gain-up controller is obtained by integrating a genetic algorithm with LMI design approach. The proposed tracking gain-up controller design method is applied to the track-following system of a DVD recording device and its effectiveness is evaluated through the experimental results.
