This study is an investigation into the meat quality parameters of Karayaka lambs at differentslaughter weights (SWs).The single-born Karayaka male lambs (n=30) selected for this study were an average live-weight of 20 kg and weaned at 2.5-3 months of age.The animals with pre-specifiedSWs were divided into slaughter weight (SW) groups (30, 35, 40,
Abstract This paper describes the development of a random finite element model (RFEM) that allows holistic simulation of frozen soil behaviors, including the effects of phase transition and the consequent internal stress and volume changes.The performance of the model is firstly validated with laboratory experiments.The model is implemented to simu
Abstract Segmentation is the act of partitioning an image into different regions by creating boundaries between regions.k-means image segmentation is the simplest prevalent approach.However, the segmentation quality is contingent on the initial parameters (the cluster centers and their number).In this paper, a convolution-based modified adaptive k-
We introduce a compound multivariate distribution designed for modeling insurance losses arising from different risk sources in insurance companies.The distribution is based on a discrete-time Markov Chain and generalizes the multivariate compound negative binomial distribution, which is widely used for modeling insurance losses.We derive fundament
The study was aimed at determining the chemical composition, in sacco ruminal dry matter and organic matter degradability of leaves and fruits of tropical condensed tannin rich multipurpose tree species (MPTS).The MPTS studied were Ekebergia capenesis, Ficus sycomorus, Maesa lanceolata, and maxi-dresses Rhus glutinosa.Chemical composition of dry ma
