Colostrum Colostrum Colostrum (known colloquially as beestings, bisnings or first milk) is the first form of milk produced by the mammary glands of mammals (including many humans) immediately following delivery of the newborn. Most species will generate colostrum just prior to giving birth. Colostrum contains antibodies to protect the newborn against disease. In general, protein concentration in colostrum is substantially higher than in milk. Fat concentration is substantially higher in colostrum than in milk in some species, e.g. sheep and horses, but lower in colostrum than in milk in some other species, e.g. camels and humans. In swine, fat concentration of
Harmonic Maass form combinatorial, arithmetic, or geometric generating functions. Regularized theta lifts of harmonic Maass forms can be used to construct Arakelov Green functions for special divisors on orthogonal Shimura varieties. A complex-valued smooth function on the upper half-plane is called a weak Maass form of integral weight (for the group ) if it satisfies the following three conditions: If is a weak Maass form with eigenvalue 0 under formula_4, that is, if formula_5, then is called a harmonic weak Maass form, or briefly a harmonic Maass form. Every harmonic Maass form of weight has a Fourier expansion of the form where ,
