Relationships between the incidence and degree of medullation with the diameter of alpaca fibers evaluated using a novel device based on artificial intelligence

Journal of the Textile Institute, 2022
The presence of medullated fibers affects the textile processing, comfort and appeal of alpaca apparel. Measuring the incidence of medullated fibers is slow and expensive.

ALPACA

Proceedings of the 2nd ACM workshop on Information credibility on the web, 2008
Internet users face challenges in evaluating the validity of online information. Such evaluation is not adequately supported by current tools; we outline some of the shortcomings of these tools, including centralization, lack of automation, and lack of user-centrism.

Alpaca

Proceedings of the 14th ACM conference on Computer and communications security, 2007
Traditional Public Key Infrastructures (PKI) have not lived up to their promise because there are too many ways to define PKIs, too many cryptographic primitives to build them with, and too many administrative domains with incompatible roots of trust.

Alpaca

Proceedings of the 11th ACM Conference on Emerging Networking Experiments and Technologies, 2015
In enterprise networks, policies (e.g., QoS or security) are often defined based on the categorization of hosts along dimensions such as the organizational role of the host (faculty vs. student), and department (engineering vs. sales). While current best practices (VLANs) help when hosts are categorized along a single dimension, policy may often need ...

Detectability of southern gamma-ray sources beyond 100 TeV with ALPAQUITA, the prototype experiment of ALPACA

Experimental astronomy (Print), 2021
Andes Large-area PArticle detector for Cosmic-ray physics and Astronomy (ALPACA) is an international experiment that applies southern very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy to determine the origin of cosmic rays around the knee energy region (1015eV −

Alpaca against Vicuna: Using LLMs to Uncover Memorization of LLMs

North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
In this paper, we introduce a black-box prompt optimization method that uses an attacker LLM agent to uncover higher levels of memorization in a victim agent, compared to what is revealed by prompting the target model with the training data directly ...

Alpaca Meat

2020
The chapter analyses alpaca (Vicugna pacos) meat production and consumption in Peru. The analysis highlights what affects alpaca meat consumption, drawing from exploratory studies in the Andean high zone of Arequipa, Puno, and Cusco. The reasons that are behind alpaca meat consumption decisions are anthropological aspects related to historical and ...

Exenatide dosing in alpacas

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2014
In order to investigate whether exenatide could be used to stimulate glucose clearance and insulin secretion in alpacas without causing colic signs, six healthy adult alpacas were injected once a day with increasing subcutaneous doses. A follow‐up intravenous glucose injection was given to induce hyperglycemia, and serial blood samples were collected ...
