Recurrent-Cascade-Correlation(RCC) is a supervised teaming algorithm that automatically determines the size and topology of the network. RCC adds new hidden neurons one by one and creates a multi-layer structure in which each hidden layer has only one neuron. By second order RCC, new hidden neurons are added to only one hidden layer. These created neurons are not connected to each other. We present a generalization of the RCC Architecture by combining the standard RCC Architecture and the second order RCC Architecture. Whenever a hidden neuron has to be added, the new RCC teaming algorithm automatically determines whether the network topology grows vertically or horizontally. This new algorithm using sigmoid, tanh and new activation functions was tested with the morse-benchmark-problem. Therefore we recognized that the number of hidden neurons was decreased by the experiments of the RCC network generalization which used the activation functions.

Apparent and true metabolizable energy (AME and TME) contents and true amino acid availability (TAAA) values of full-fat seed, oil meal and oil of canola were assayed employing mature Single Comb white Leghorn roosters. For AME, test diets containing 30% level of canola full-fat seed, oil meal, oil meal plus oil or 10% level of oil were fed for a 3-day adaptation period, followed by a 4-day fecal collection period. For TME and TAAA, 30g test diets were force-fed and total excreta were collected for 48 hours, following a 24 hour fasting period. Metabolizable energy values were corrected to zero nitrogen balance(AMEn and TMEn), Canola contained 4,485, 1,984,8,275 and 5,655kcal/kg of AMEn and 4,577, 2,103, 8,487 and 5,630kcal/kg of TMEn for full-fat seed, oil meal, oil and mixture of meal plus oil, respectirely. The mixtures of oil meal plus oil had significantly higher available energy contents than the full-fat seeds (p＜0.01) . In general, TAAA values of full-fat seed were higher than those of oil meal.
