Material Selection and Geometric Design for Few‐filament Shape Memory Polymer Yarns for Force Generation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A custom shape memory polymer material selection process relates quantitative application criteria (e.g., compression garment yarns) to material characterization information. The selected materials are manufactured into yarn geometries, which expand the design space by creating structural stress‐strain profiles beyond the nominal material stress‐strain

Controlled field study investigating effects of 2 methods of enriching moderate-quality maternal colostrum on transfer of passive immunity and well-being of neonatal dairy calves

Journal of Dairy Science
: Enriching low- or moderate-quality maternal colostrum (MC) by directly adding dry commercial colostrum replacement (CR) powder into MC is convenient, but it is unknown whether this may increase osmolality of the CR-MC mixture to levels that could ...

The Diverse Structure and Organization of U.S. Beef Cow-Calf Farms [PDF]

Beef cow-calf production in the United States is widespread, occurring in every State. Nearly 765,000 farms, about 35 percent of the 2.2 million farms in the United States, had a beef cow inventory in 2007. Most of these were small, part-time operations.

Learning Highly Dynamic Skills Transition for Quadruped Jumping Through Constrained Space

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A quadruped robot masters dynamic jumps through constrained spaces with animal‐inspired moves and intelligent vision control. This hierarchical learning approach combines imitation of biological agility with real‐time trajectory planning. Although legged animals are capable of performing explosive motions while traversing confined spaces, replicating ...

Stable Imitation of Multigait and Bipedal Motions for Quadrupedal Robots Over Uneven Terrains

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
How are quadrupedal robots empowered to execute complex navigation tasks, including multigait and bipedal motions? Challenges in stability and real‐world adaptation persist, especially with uneven terrains and disturbances. This article presents an imitation learning framework that enhances adaptability and robustness by incorporating long short‐term ...

Antimicrobial drug usage from birth to 180 days of age in Irish dairy calves and in suckler beef calves

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2019
Concern about the use of antimicrobials in food producing animals is increasing. The study objective was to quantify antimicrobial drug usage in calves using antimicrobial treatment records from Irish suckler beef and dairy farms. Antimicrobial treatment

Calf diarrhoea: Serious concern for calf mortality

, 2023
Calf diarrhea, also known as calf scours, is a common and concerning condition affecting young calves, particularly in the livestock industry. It is one of the major causes of death in dairy calves and attribute approximately 57% of calf mortality, resulting in economic losses across the world due to high morbidity, mortality and veterinary cost. It is

AI‐Powered Framework for Evaluating Drug Efficacy for Three‐Dimensional In Vitro Cancer Models in Robot‐Assisted Production

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
An AI‐powered, robot‐assisted framework automatically produces, images, and analyzes 3D tumor spheroids to evaluate drug efficacy. Integrated modules handle spheroid formation, live/dead staining, brightfield imaging, and automated image analysis, including spheroid segmentation, viability and metrics to assess the drug treatment efficacy. The workflow
