A total of 32,817 test-day milk yield (TDMY) records of the first lactation of 4,056 Girolando cows daughters of 276 sires, collected from 118 herds between 2000 and 2011 were utilized to estimate the genetic parameters for TDMY via random regression models (RRM) using Legendre's polynomial functions whose orders varied from 3 to 5. In addition, nine measures of persistency in milk yield ($PS_i$) and the genetic trend of 305-day milk yield (305MY) were evaluated. The fit quality criteria used indicated RRM employing the Legendre's polynomial of orders 3 and 5 for fitting the genetic additive and permanent environment effects, respectively, as the best model. The heritability and genetic correlation for TDMY throughout the lactation, obtained with the best model, varied from 0.18 to 0.23 and from -0.03 to 1.00, respectively. The heritability and genetic correlation for persistency and 305MY varied from 0.10 to 0.33 and from -0.98 to 1.00, respectively. The use of $PS_7$ would be the most suitable option for the evaluation of Girolando cattle. The estimated breeding values for 305MY of sires and cows showed significant and positive genetic trends. Thus, the use of selection indices would be indicated in the genetic evaluation of Girolando cattle for both traits.

Rainfall events in the hydrologic circulation are closely related with various meteorological factors. Therefore, in this research, correlation relationship was analyzed between sea surface temperature of typical meteorological factor and monthly rainfall on Korean peninsula. The cluster analysis was performed monthly average rainfall data, longitude and latitude observed by rainfall observatory in Korea. Results from cluster analysis using monthly rainfall data in South Korea were divided into 4 regions. The principal components of monthly rainfall data were extracted from rainfall stations separated cluster regions. A correlation analysis was performed with extracted principal components and sea surface temperatures. At the results of correlation analysis, positive correlation coefficients were larger than negative correlation coefficients. In addition, The 3 month of principal components on monthly rainfall predicted by locally weighted polynomial regression using observed data of sea surface temperature where biggest correlation coefficients have. The result of forecasting through the locally weighted polynomial regression was revealed differences in accuracy. But, this methods in the research can be analyzed for forecasting about monthly rainfall data. Therefore, continuous research need through hydrological meteorological factors like a sea surface temperature about forecasting of the rainfall events.

Excessive use of the internet and smart phones have become a social issue. The level of engagement has both positive and negative effects such as good performance or indulgence phenomenon, respectively. This study was to develop an algorithm to determine the engagement state based on cardiovascular response. The participants were asked to play a pattern matching game and the experimental design was divided into cooperation and competition task to provide the level of engagement. The correlation between heart rate and amplitude was analyzed according to each task. The regression equation and accuracy were verified by polynomial regression analysis. The results showed that heart rate and amplitude were positively correlated when the task was a game, and negatively correlated when there was a reference task. The accuracy of classifying between game and reference task was 89%. The accuracy between tasks was confirmed to be 76.5%. This study is expected to be used to quantitatively evaluate the level of engagement in real time.

The objective of the present work is to estimate the strength and failure characteristics of symmetric thin square laminates under negative shear load. Two progressive failure analyses, one using the Hashin criterion and the other using a Tensor polynomial criterion, are used in conjunction with the finite element method. First-order shear-deformation theory along with geometric nonlinearity in the von Karman sense has been incorporated in the finite element modeling. Failure loads, associated maximum transverse displacements, locations and modes of failure including the onset of delamination are discussed in detail; these are found to be quite different from those for the positive sheer load reported in Part I of this study (Singh et al. 1998).

We strengthen a result of Michiel Kosters by proving the following theorems: (*) Let ${\phi}:W{\rightarrow}V$ be a finite surjective morphism of algebraic varieties over an ample field K. Suppose V has a simple K-rational point a such that $a{\not\in}{\phi}(W(K_{ins}))$. Then, card($V(K){\backslash}{\phi}(W(K))$ = card(K). (**) Let K be an infinite field of positive characteristic and let $f{\in}K[X]$ be a non-constant monic polynomial. Suppose all zeros of f in $\tilde{K}$ belong to $K_{ins}{\backslash}K$. Then, card(K \ f(K)) = card(K).

We consider the Steiner tree packing problem. For a given undirected graph G =(V, E) with positive integer capacities and non-negative weights on its edges, and a list of node sets(nets), the problem is to find a connection of nets which satisfies the edge capacity limits and minimizes the total weights. We focus on the switchbox routing problem in knock-knee model and formulate this problem as an integer programming using Steiner tree variables. The model contains exponential number of variables, but the problem can be solved using a polynomial time column generation procedure. We test the algorithm on some standard test instances and compare the performances with the results using cutting plane approach. Computational results show that our algorithm is competitive to the cutting plane algorithm presented by Grotschel et al. and can be used to solve practically sized problems.

A method for inverting the Laplace transform is presented, using a finite series of the classical Legendre polynomials. The method recovers a real-valued function f(t) in a finite interval of the positive real axis when f(t) belongs to a certain class ${\mathcal{W}}_{\beta}$ and requires the knowledge of its Laplace transform F(s) only at a finite number of discrete points on the real axis s > 0. The choice of these points will be carefully considered so as to improve the approximation error as well as to minimize the number of steps needed in the evaluations. The method is tested on few examples, with particular emphasis on the estimation of the error bounds involved.

This paper deals with the inverse of tails of Hurwitz zeta function. More precisely, for any positive integer s ≥ 2 and 0 ≤ a < 1, we give an algorithm for finding a simple form of f_s,a(n) such that $$\lim_{n{\rightarrow}{\infty}}\{\({\sum\limits_{k=n}^{\infty}}{\frac{1}{(k+a)^s}}\)^{-1}-f_{s,a}(n)\}=0$$. We show that f_s,a(n) is a polynomial in n-a of order s-1. All coefficients of f_s,a(n) are represented in terms of Bernoulli numbers.

We present an upper bound on the Cheeger constant of a distance-regular graph. Recently, the authors found an upper bound on the Cheeger constant of distance-regular graph under a certain restriction in their previous work. Our new bound in the current paper is much better than the previous bound, and it is a general bound with no restriction. We point out that our bound is explicitly computable by using the valencies and the intersection matrix of a distance-regular graph. As a major tool, we use the discrete Green's function, which is defined as the inverse of ${\beta}$-Laplacian for some positive real number ${\beta}$. We present some examples of distance-regular graphs, where we compute our upper bound on their Cheeger constants.

For minimum phase systems, the conventional fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) use the error and the change-of-error as fuzzy input variables. Then the control rule table is a skew symmetric type, that is, it has UNLP (Upper Negative and Lower Positive) or UPLN property. This property allowed to design a single-input FLC (SFLC) that has many advantages. But its control parameters are not automatically adjusted to the situation of the controlled plant. That is, the adaptability is still deficient. We here design a single-input direct adaptive FLC (SDAFLC). In the AFLC, some parameters of the membership functions characterizing the linguistic terms of the fuzzy rules are adjusted by an adaptive law. The SDAFLC is designed by a stable error dynamics. We prove that its closed-loop system is globally stable in the sense that all signals involved are bounded and its tracking error converges to zero asymptotically. We perform computer simulations using a nonlinear plant and compare the control performance between the SFLC and the SDAFLC.
