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
P-adic modular form is invertible at ("E",ω). The "p"-adic modular form "f" now takes values in "R" rather than in the complex numbers. The "p"-adic modular form also has to satisfy some other conditions analogous to the condition that a classical modular form should be holomorphic. Overconvergent "p"-adic modular forms are similar to the modular forms defined by Katz, except that the form has to be defined on a larger collection of elliptic curves. Roughly speaking, the value of the Eisenstein series "E" on the form is no longer required to be invertible, but can be a smaller element of "R". Informally the
