Field on Poincare group and quantum description of orientable objects
We propose an approach to the quantum-mechanical description of relativistic
orientable objects. It generalizes Wigner's ideas concerning the treatment of
nonrelativistic orientable objects (in particular, a nonrelativistic rotator)
with the help of two reference frames (space-fixed and body-fixed). A technical
realization of this generalization (for instance, in 3+1 dimensions) amounts to
introducing wave functions that depend on elements of the Poincare group . A
complete set of transformations that test the symmetries of an orientable
object and of the embedding space belongs to the group . All
such transformations can be studied by considering a generalized regular
representation of in the space of scalar functions on the group, ,
that depend on the Minkowski space points as well as on the
orientation variables given by the elements of a matrix .
In particular, the field is a generating function of usual spin-tensor
multicomponent fields. In the theory under consideration, there are four
different types of spinors, and an orientable object is characterized by ten
quantum numbers. We study the corresponding relativistic wave equations and
their symmetry properties.Comment: 46 page
Composition of the essential oils from the aerial parts of Elsholtzia ciliata (Thunb.) Hyland. from Vietnam
The essential oils from cultivated Elsholtzia ciliata (Thunb.) Hyland. from two regions of Vietnam were analyzed by capillary GC and GC/MS. More than 30 components were identified, representing over 95% of the oils. The majn constituents wereneral(15.2-20.5%),geranial (19.5-26.5%),limonene (10.9-14.2%)and(Z)-beta-farnesene (10.8-11.7%). The oxygenated compounds found, such as linalool, nerol, neral, geranial, geraniol, neryl and geranyl fonnates and acetates, (Z)-methyl geranate and (Z)-nerolidol, contribute to the characteristic odor of these oils

On-farm cow-calf performance in response to pre- and post-partum concentrate supplementation in South Central Coastal Vietnam
Supplementing cows with concentrate feeds in the last trimester of pregnancy and during lactation is important in maintaining cow body condition, positive energy balance and preventing the mobilisation of stored fat. However, there is a lack of information about the effect of supplementary feeding of beef cows during pre and post-partum periods on cow-calf performance in South Central Coastal Vietnam. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of pre- and post-partum supplementary feeding on cow-calf performance in an on-farm experiment.
Twenty crossbred cows in the third trimester of pregnancy were randomly allocated into four pre- and post-partum treatment groups comprising: 1) Control diet only; 2) Control diet pre-partum and improved diet post-partum; 3) Improved diet pre-partum and control diet post- partum; and 4) Improved diets only. The control diet was a mixture of maize powder and rice bran offered at 0.25% of body weight (BW) pre-partum and 0.35% of BW post-partum. The improved diet was a mixture of maize powder, rice bran, peanut cake and cassava powder offered at 0.35% of BW pre-partum and 0.5% of BW post-partum.
The improved diet had a significant (P<0.05) positive effect on calf birth weight, body length, and chest girth, but not at 90 days. There was a significant effect of diet on average cow body weight, body condition score (BCS) and calving to conception interval (CCI). However, the timing of feeding the concentrate (pre- or post-partum) had no effect. The CCI was longer for cows fed the control diet (212 days) than for cows supplemented pre-partum (176 days). Cows fed post-partum had the shortest CCI (Av. 144.5 days). It was concluded that pre- and post-partum supplementation improved cow-calf performance and induced early cyclicity thereby shortening the interval from calving to conception and overall reproductive performance under on-farm conditions
