TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied limit cycle bifurcations for a kind of non-smooth polynomial differential systems by perturbing a piecewise linear Hamiltonian system with the center at the origin and a homoclinic loop around the origin.
Abstract: In this paper, we study limit cycle bifurcations for a kind of non-smooth polynomial differential systems by perturbing a piecewise linear Hamiltonian system with the center at the origin and a homoclinic loop around the origin. By using the first Melnikov function of piecewise near-Hamiltonian systems, we give lower bounds of the maximal number of limit cycles in Hopf and homoclinic bifurcations, and derive an upper bound of the number of limit cycles that bifurcate from the periodic annulus between the center and the homoclinic loop up to the first order in e . In the case when the degree of perturbing terms is low, we obtain a precise result on the number of zeros of the first Melnikov function.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of feed restriction applied to immunocastrated pigs in the period after the second vaccination (V2) against GnRH on hormonal status, performance, car- cass traits, and meat quality was assessed.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of feed restriction applied to immunocastrated pigs in the period after the second vaccination (V2) against GnRH on hormonal status, performance, car- cass traits, and meat quality. Immunocastrated pigs (IC) were compared with entire males (EM) and surgical castrates fed ad libitum. Pigs (Large White × Landrace) × Pietrain were either left entire or surgically castrated within 1 wk after birth (SC, n = 22). At 83 d of age, the entire males were further allotted to treatment groups (individual housing) of ad libitum fed EM (n = 24), ad libitum fed IC (IC-L, n = 21), or restrictively fed IC (IC-R, n = 21). At that time, the fi rst vaccination (V1) was applied to IC-L and IC-R pigs. One week after V2 (age 130 d), feed restriction (≈80% of the ad libitum feed intake of SC pigs) was applied to IC-R pigs. The experiment ended 5 wk after V2, when pigs were 165 d old. Immunocastration successfully reduced boar taint compounds and size of reproductive organs. At 130 d, serum leptin concentrations were similar in all groups, whereas IGF-I concentration was less in SC (P ≤ 0.002) than in the other groups. Three weeks after V2, leptin concentrations of both IC groups were in between EM (least) and SC (greatest). The reverse was observed for IGF-I. Feed restriction had no effect on leptin or IGF-I concentrations in IC pigs. In the period V1 to V2, per- formance differed mainly between EM and SC, whereas both IC groups had feed intake and feed conversion ratio similar to EM and intermediate daily BW gain, not differing from either EM or SC. After V2, IC-L pigs increased their feed intake to the concentrations of SC, with faster growth compared with the other 3 groups (P < 0.05) and fatter carcasses compared with EM pigs (P = 0.007). Similar performance and carcass leanness were observed for IC-R and EM pigs. During preslaughter handling more carcass lesions were noted in EM and IC-R than in IC-L or SC pigs (P < 0.002). Neither immu- nocastration nor feed restriction had any effect on meat quality, but EM had greater drip loss, less intramuscular fat, and decreased tenderness than SC pigs. In conclu- sion, restricting feed intake can increase production effi ciency but also aggressiveness of IC pigs.

TL;DR: An ancestry tree-based approach to record the evolution history of a population and a number of exploration and exploitation metrics that can be used to better understand inner working of an evolutionary algorithm or in evolutionary algorithm designing phase to develop suitable variation operators with good balance between Exploration and exploitation.
Abstract: This paper introduces an ancestry tree-based approach for exploration and exploitation analysis. The approach introduces a data structure to record the evolution history of a population and a number of exploration and exploitation metrics. Such an approach not only provides insight of how and when the exploration and exploitation influence an evolution process, but also how the genetic structure of an individual is affected. It can be used to better understand inner working of an evolutionary algorithm or in evolutionary algorithm designing phase to develop suitable variation operators with good balance between exploration and exploitation. The approach is applied to the multi-objective 0/1 knapsack problem.
