To overcome the drawback of linear approximation of objective function for diet formulation, a mathematical model based on nonlinear programming technique is proposed to measure animal performance in terms of milk yield and weight gain. At the second step, it compares the result of proposed program with that of linear programming model. Result of proposed model gives better results using nonlinear programming. Thus the study is an attempt to develop a nonlinear programming model for optimal planning and best use of nutrient ingredients. Research on nutrition is under process for more than hundred years. Diet formulation is a process by which different ingredients are combined to provide necessary nutrition to animals at different stages of production. A diet should supply all essential nutrients and energy to maintain vital physiological functions of growth, reproduction and health of animals. Diet should be highly digestible and should have very less adverse environmental effect. A number of methods have been defined for the formulation of animal diet; square method, two by two matrix methods, simultaneous equation method, trial and error method and linear programming method to formulate least cost diet. Linear programming is widely used for this purpose. Diet formulated by linear programming is based on assumption of linearity between animal yield and nutrient ingredients included in the diet. To overcome the assumption of linearity and to include complexity of different nutrient ingredients, a nonlinear model is proposed in this paper to maximize milk yield. This concept of non-linear programming may be used to maximize the weight gain of the animal or animal yields approximately. A combination spreadsheet is represented for ration formulation using linear programming (VandeHaar M. J., Black J. R., 1991). Chance-constrained programming is used to formulate commercial feeds for animals (William B. Roush, Robert H. Stock, Terri L. Cravener and Thomas H. D'Alfonso, 1994).

The rheological properties of normal erythrocytes appear to be largely determined by those of the red cell membrane. In SCD, the intracellular polymerization of sickle he- moglobin upon deoxygnation leads to marked increase in intracellular viscosity and elastic stiffness and also having indirect effects on cell membrane .To examine mathematically, the abnormal cell rheology behavior due to polymerization process and that due membrane abnormalities , we mechanically modeled the whole cell deformability as viscoelastic solid and proposed a Voigt-model of nonlinear viscoelastic solid constitutive relation as \" mixture''of an elastic and viscous dissipative parts, with parameters of elastic and viscous moduli. The elastic part used to express stress-strain relations via strain energy function of the material and the viscous part derivation depends on strain - rate of deformation. The combination of both constitutive expressions is used to predict the viscoelastic properties of normal and sickle erythrocyte. Furthermore, sickle hemoglobin polymerization also leads to alter the osmotic behavior of the cell and to investigate such osmotic effect; we employ the van't Hoff law of osmotic pressure versus volume relation. The analysis of both formulations presented well the abnormal rheological /mechanical characterization of sickle erythrocyte membrane as we understood and concluded from our results.","PeriodicalId":49251,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":"2 1","pages":"40-46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71250822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is found that engineers and scientists are using finite element method, finite volu me method, finite volu me element method etc. in flu id mechanics.

These predictions normally occur under those conditions defined in terms of flow geo metry. Convection- Diffusion Problems arises where fluid flow p lays a significant role .We must account for the effects of convection. Diffusion occurs always alongside convection in nature. The numerical solution of convection-diffusion transport problems arises in many important applications in science and engineering. These problems occur in many applications such as in the transport of air and ground water pollutants, oil reservoir flo w, in the modeling of semiconductors, and so forth(3).

Also, it is observed that the flow-variables behind the shock are affected significantly, by an increase in the parameter of radiation, when the initial magnetic field is strong.
