Traditionally, one uses visual observation to make judgment on a cow's lameness or soundness. Visual observation heavily depends on the observer's experience, hence is subjective or ob-server-dependent. And even worse, it is inconsistent. It's reported that the agreement between veterinarians can be as low as 45% [1]. It is necessary and urgent to develop an objective detection method that can automatically detect lameness when it occurs. In this paper, we describe how statistical models can be used to develop such methods and how well the statistical models perform.展开更多

The optimal convergence of the finite element method is proved for both the L-2-norm and energy-norm, and in particular, the convergence is uniform with respect to the Lame constant lambda. Also the performance of the scheme does not deteriorate as the material becomes nearly incompressible, Numerical experiments are given which are consistent with our theory.展开更多
