The Impact of Biofloc Technology on Water Quality in Aquaculture: A Systematic Meta-Analysis

Aquaculture Nutrition, 2023
A technique called biofloc technology (BFT) is an environmentally friendly method for aquaculture in which a successful growing cycle depends on the maintenance and monitoring of water quality parameters.

Beef Steer Performance on Irrigated Monoculture Legume Pastures Compared with Grass- and Concentrate-Fed Steers

Animals, 2022
Fall- or spring-born steers grazed monoculture irrigated birdsfoot trefoil (BFT; Lotus corniculatus L.) or cicer milkvetch (CMV; Astragalus cicer L.) pastures for approximately 12 weeks for 3 years and were compared with steers on concentrate diets.

Backfat Thickness at Pre-Farrowing: Indicators of Sow Reproductive Performance, Milk Yield, and Piglet Birth Weight in Smart Farm-Based Systems

Agriculture, 2023
The importance of backfat thickness in sows lies in its correlation with nutritional status, reproductive performance, and overall health. Identifying the optimum backfat thickness is crucial for determining the ideal energy reserves needed to support ...

Improving Independence of Failures in BFT [PDF]

2013 IEEE 12th International Symposium on Network Computing and Applications, 2013
Independence of failures is a basic assumption for the correctness of BFT protocols. In literature, this subject was addressed by providing N-version like abstractions. Though this can provide a good level of obfuscation against semantic-based attacks, if the replicas know each others identities then non-semantic attacks like DoS can still compromise ...

Clinical trial barriers in neurostimulation for pediatric drug‐resistant epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The NeuroPace responsive neurostimulation (RNS) System effectively treats focal drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) in adults but lacks pediatric regulatory approval. Despite effective off‐label pediatric use, systemic device‐trial challenges have impeded label expansion.

Prediction at harvest and detection at the ready‐to‐eat stage of internal black flesh severity in mangoes using portable Vis–NIR spectroscopy

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Although previous studies have demonstrated that visible–near infrared (Vis–NIR) spectroscopy can accurately predict black flesh incidence at harvest and detect the disorder in ready‐to‐eat mango fruit, its ability to discriminate among severity levels has not yet been established.
