Objective: Litter size and piglet loss at birth significantly impact piglet production and are closely associated with sow parity. Understanding how these traits vary across different parities is crucial for effective herd management. This study investigates the patterns of the number of born alive piglets (NBA), number of piglet losses (NPL), and the proportion of piglet losses (PPL) at birth in Landrace sows under tropical conditions. Additionally, it aims to identify the most suitable model for describing these patterns. Methods: A dataset comprising 2,322 consecutive reproductive records from 258 Landrace sows, spanning parities from 1 to 9, was analyzed. Modeling approaches including 2nd and 3rd degree polynomial models, the Wood gamma function, and a longitudinal model were applied at the individual level to predict NBA, NPL, and PPL. The choice of the best-fitting model was determined based on the lowest mean and standard deviation of the difference between predicted and actual values, Akaike information criterion (AIC), and Bayesian information criterion (BIC). Results: Sow parity significantly influenced NBA, NPL, and PPL (p<0.0001). NBA increased until the 4th parity and then declined. In contrast, NPL and PPL decreased until the 2nd parity and then steadily increased until the 8th parity. The 2nd and 3rd degree polynomials, and longitudinal models showed no significant differences in predicting NBA, NPL, and PPL (p>0.05). The 3rd degree polynomial model had the lowest prediction standard deviation and yielded the smallest AIC and BIC. Conclusion: The 3rd degree polynomial model offers the most suitable description of NBA, NPL, and PPL patterns. It holds promise for applications in genetic evaluations to enhance litter size and reduce piglet loss at birth in sows. These findings highlight the importance of accounting for sow parity effects in swine breeding programs, particularly in tropical conditions, to optimize piglet production and sow performance.

The bandwidth minimization problem (BMP) has been classified as NP-complete because the polynomial time algorithm to find the optimal solution has been unknown yet. This paper suggests polynomial time heuristic algorithm is to find the solution of bandwidth minimization problem. To find the minimum bandwidth ${\phi}^*=_{min}{\phi}(G)$, ${\phi}(G)=_{max}\{{\mid}f(v_i)-f(v_j):v_i,v_j{\in}E\}$ for given graph G=(V,E), m=|V|,n=|E|, the proposed algorithm sets the maximum degree vertex $v_i$ in graph G into global central point (GCP), and labels the median value ${\lceil}m+1/2{\rceil}$ between [1,m] range. The graph G is partitioned into subgroup, the maximum degree vertex in each subgroup is set to local central point (LCP), and we adjust the label of LCP per each subgroup as possible as minimum distance from GCP. The proposed algorithm requires O(mn) time complexity for label to all of vertices. For various twelve graph, the proposed algorithm can be obtains the same result as known optimal solution. For one graph, the proposed algorithm can be improve on known solution.

방향 가중 그래프의 차수제약 최소신장트리 (degree-constrained minimum spanning tree, d-MST) 문제는 정확한 해를 구하는 다항시간 알고리즘이 존재하지 않아 NP-완전 문제로 알려져 왔다. 따라서 휴리스틱한 근사 알고리즘을 적용하여 최적 해를 구하고 있다. 본 논문은 차수와 사이클을 검증하는 Kruskal 알고리즘으로 d-MST의 초기 해를 구하고, d-MST의 초기 해에 대해 k-opt를 수행하여 최적 해를 구하는 다항시간 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 4개의 그래프에 적용한 결과 2-MST까지 최적 해를 구할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 Co$_{2}$와 H$_{2}$O의 방사율을 흡수특성치와 절대온도 역수 의 함수로 유도함으로써 기존의 방사율계산모형을 보다 일반화시켰을 뿐만아니라 실측 치와 계산치 사이의 오차를 기존 모형의 결과보다 훨씬 감소시켰다.

The main mode of heat transfer of combustion gases at high temperature is thermal radiation of the participating gases, which are mainly carbon dioxide and water vapor. Therefore, the information of the emissivities of carbon dioxide and water vapor would be very important in the thermal performance analysis of a furnace. In this study, an exponential model for the emissivities of carbon dioxide and water vapor is derived as a function of the product of the partial pressure and characteristic length and a polynomial of reciprocal of temperature. Error analysis of the calculated values from the present model is performed for the temperature ranges of 555.6∼2777.8K and the partial-pressure-length product ranges of 0.09144∼609.6 cm-atm. For carbon dioxide, the difference between the values from the present model and the Hottels chart is less than 2.5% using a polynomial in 1/T of degree of 4. For water vapor, the model can predict the emissivity within 2.5% difference using a polynomial in 1/T of degree of 3.

Using a simple recurrence relation, we give a new method to compute the Jones polynomials of closed braids: we find a general expansion formula and a rational generating function for the Jones polynomials. The method is used to estimate the degree of the Jones polynomials for some families of braids and to obtain general qualitative results.

We construct some infinite series of free and nearly free curves using pencils of conics with a base locus of cardinality at most two. These curves have an interesting topology, e.g. a high degree Alexander polynomial that can be explicitly determined, a Milnor fiber homotopy equivalent to a bouquet of circles, or an irreducible translated component in the characteristic variety of their complement. Monodromy eigenspaces in the first cohomology group of the corresponding Milnor fibers are also described in terms of explicit differential forms.

The original mixed multiplicity theory considered the class of mixed multiplicities concerning the terms of highest total degree in the Hilbert polynomial. This paper defines a broader class of mixed multiplicities that concern the maximal terms in this polynomial, and gives many results, which are not only general but also more natural than many results in the original mixed multiplicity theory.

Given a Unimodular polynomial P of degree N$\geq$1, the exteremal problem for ${\gamma}$ =max{｜P(eit)｜:0 $\leq$t$\leq$2$\pi$} satisfies ${\gamma}$$\leq$C{{{{ SQRT { N+1} where C is a universal constant. Here we show that C < 2+{{{{ whenever N is fixed and P has the coefficients of a Rudin-Shapiro polynomial.

In this paper, some sharp inequalities for ordinary derivative P'(z) and polar derivative D_αP(z) = nP(z) + (α - z)P'(z) are obtained by including some of the coefficients and modulus of each individual zero of a polynomial P(z) of degree n not vanishing in the region |z| > k, k ≥ 1. Our results also improve the bounds of Turán's and Aziz's inequalities.
