Identification of chicken egg fertility using SVM classifier based on first-order statistical feature extraction [PDF]
ILKOM Jurnal Ilmiah, 13(3), (2021), 285-293, 2022 This study aims to identify chicken eggs fertility using the support vector machine (SVM) classifier method. The classification basis used the first-order statistical (FOS) parameters as feature extraction in the identification process. This research was developed based on the process's identification process, which is still manual (conventional ...

PLoS ONE, 2007 Hemangioblasts are bi-potential precursors for blood and endothelial cells (BCs and ECs). Existence of the hemangioblast in vivo by its strict definition, i.e. a clonal precursor giving rise to these two cell types after division, is still debated. Using a combination of mitotic figure analysis, cell labeling and long-term cell tracing, we show that ...
