Abstract:
Research was conducted in Sri Lanka to evaluate the feasibility of developing cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) leaf meal as an animal feed. In feeding trials with broilers, improvements in performance were observed at 10% inclusion of cassava leaf meal (CLM). High levels (20 and 30%) of CLM depressed gain, feed intake and feed per gain. Weights of spleen and liver (% of body weight) linearly increased with increasing levels of CLM. Carcass pigmentation values favored the CLM-based diets.

Abstract:
Adaptive filters constitute an important part of signal processing. They are widely used in many applications where signal statistics are unknown to the users. One of the most popular adaptive methods is known as the least mean-squared (LMS) algorithm. It is well known for its hardware simplicity and its cost effectiveness. However, the LMS adaptive algorithm does not operate well in non-ideal environments. Leakage in the updated equation of the LMS algorithm was proven to overcome many such problems. This algorithm is known as the leaky LMS (LLMS). The LLMS is very robust to drifting phenomen
