PROXIMITY INTERACTIONS IN A PERMANENTLY HOUSED DAIRY HERD: NETWORK STRUCTURE, CONSISTENCY, AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES

Proximity Interactions in a Permanently Housed Dairy Herd: Network Structure, Consistency, and Individual Differences

Understanding the herd structure of housed dairy cows TORTILLA FLAX OAT BRAN has the potential to reveal preferential interactions, detect changes in behavior indicative of illness, and optimize farm management regimes.This study investigated the structure and consistency of the proximity interaction network of a permanently housed commercial dairy

Disturbance Observer-Based Robust Control Design for Uncertain Periodic Piecewise Time-Varying Systems With Disturbances

With the aid of disturbance observer strategy, this article aims to investigate the disturbance rejection and stabilization problems for periodic piecewise time-varying systems that are subject to time-varying delays, parameter uncertainties, nonlinear perturbations and exogenous disturbances.To be more specific, the periodic piecewise time-varying

Monte Carlo-based subgrid parameterization of vertical velocity and stratiform cloud microphysics in ECHAM5.5-HAM2

A new method for parameterizing the subgrid variations of vertical velocity and cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC) is presented for general circulation models (GCMs).These parameterizations build on top of existing parameterizations that create stochastic subgrid cloud columns inside the GCM grid cells, which can be employed by the Monte Car
