Colostrum milk at 48 to 72 hours after parturition may be higher than in colostrum or in late-lactation milk. Fat concentration in bovine colostrum is extremely variable. Newborns have very immature and small digestive systems, and colostrum delivers its nutrients in a very concentrated low-volume form. It has a mild laxative effect, encouraging the passing of the baby's first stool, which is called meconium. This clears excess bilirubin, a waste-product of dead red blood cells, which is produced in large quantities at birth due to blood volume reduction from the infant's body and helps prevent jaundice. Colostrum is known to contain
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
