Human reproductive ecology to aid infant survival and growth. Lactational strategies vary cross-culturally, but can typically be defined by sibling sets and sex ratios, frequency of nursing, entire lactational duration, and milk composition. Milk is composed of my bioconstituents, but only a few will be outlined here. In the first days of puerperium, the first milk is thick and yellowish, also called colostrum. For weeks after that, mature milk is expressed and it has been shown that fetal-mammary gland signaling occurs even before birth in determining milk type and concentrations based on the fetus sex. Colostrum plays an important role in establishing the
Quadratic form is also called a quadratic form. Two "n"-dimensional quadratic spaces and are isometric if there exists an invertible linear transformation (isometry) such that The isometry classes of "n"-dimensional quadratic spaces over "K" correspond to the equivalence classes of "n"-ary quadratic forms over "K". Let "R" be a commutative ring, "M" be an "R"-module and be an "R"-bilinear form. A mapping is the "associated quadratic form" of "b", and is the "polar form" of "Q". Alternatively, a quadratic form may be characterized as follows: Two elements "v" and "w" of "V" are called orthogonal if . The kernel of a bilinear
