Comparison of the favorable gain values of genetic improvement among Indonesian grade cow breeds selected for agrotechnopark intensification

This research was aimed to compare the small and big truncation point proportions intended to evaluate gain values of genetic improvement for Indonesian Local cow breed groups selected for Agrotechnopark (integrated bio-cycle farming system) intensification. Animal live weights were collected from 674 Indonesian grade breed cows kept by local household farmers in North Sulawesi province. Data of cows were corrected by adjusting to six years old ages. All cows were divided into three breed groups with different genetic compositions of Bali breed cow generation (BG) of 207 cows, Ongole grade cow generation (OG) of 189 cows, and Local grade cow generation (LG) of 178 cows. The genetic improvements of BG, OG and LG were analyzed involving selection intensity (i), accuracy of selection (r), and standard deviation (SD) of breed group traits under selection. Results of this study showed that the critical components was genetic development of local grade breeds by choosing small proportion of 10% truncation point for Agrotechnopark intensification of selected elite cows groups among BG, OG and LG populations with the positive live weight gains of 58.6 kg, 23.15 kg, and 28.62 kg per generation, respectively compared with larger percentages of 20% and 30% proportions of truncation points.

Determination of Optimal Reserve between Two Machines in Series with the Repair Time has Change of Distribution after the Truncation Point

In inventory control, suitable models for various real life systems are constructed with the objective of determining the optimal inventory level. A new type of inventory model using the so-called change of distribution property is analyzed in this paper. There are two machines M1 and M2 in series and the output of M1 is the input of M2. Hence a reserve inventory between M1 and M2 is to be maintained. The method of obtaining the optimal size of reserve inventory, assuming cost of excess inventory, cost of shortage and when the rate of consumption of M2 is a constant, has already been attempted. In this paper, it is assumed that the repair time of M1 is a random variable and the distribution of the same undergoes a change of distribution after the truncation point X0 , which is taken to be a random variable. The optimal size of the reserve inventory is obtained under the above said assumption . Numerical illustrations are also provided.

A Image Watermarking Resisting Geometrical Attacks Based on EBCOT Algorithm

This paper, proposes a method that by generating a pseudo random pattern, which will work as the watermark and the watermark is embedded during the quantization procedure. Then WSR (watermarking survival rate) is used to search for the optimized truncation points by running the EBCOT process, the truncation point is adjusted to stay at the bit plane boundary and it is used as the dividing point to split magnitude bits of wavelet coefficients, which is then sent to EBCOT for encoding. The final output is the J2K coded watermarked image. The results show that watermarked EBCOT image is nearly rate-distortion optimized, the decoder can recover the original image, the watermark can be detected effectively, and it is robust against geometric attacking such as rotating attack, cropping and scaling attack.
