A Machine Vision-Based Method for Monitoring Broiler Chicken Floor Distribution

Sensors, 2020
The proper spatial distribution of chickens is an indication of a healthy flock. Routine inspections of broiler chicken floor distribution are done manually in commercial grow-out houses every day, which is labor intensive and time consuming.

Does Long‐Term Lower Extremity Strength Training in Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis and Varus Alignment Reduce Knee Joint Loading During Gait?

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

Doped low-density parity-check codes

Digital Communications and Networks
In this paper, we propose a doping approach to lower the error floor of Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes. The doping component is a short block code in which the information bits are selected from the coded bits of the dominant trapping sets of the ...

Joint Coding and Adaptive Image Transmission Scheme Based on DP-LDPC Codes for IoT Scenarios

IEEE Access, 2019
For wireless image communication in the Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios, fast and low error coding and transmission mechanisms are imperative. The joint source-channel coding scheme based on the double protograph low-density parity-check (DP-LDPC ...

In Situ Micromechanical Study of Bimodal γ′–γ″ Precipitate Assemblies in Ni–Cr–Al–Nb Superalloy

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A Ni–Cr–Al–Nb superalloy with a bimodal γ′–γ″ precipitate distribution is developed. Composite precipitate assemblies form through heterogeneous nucleation, effectively impeding dislocation motion. Micropillar compression reveals high strength at room and elevated temperatures, governed by precipitate shearing, with coupled faulting mechanisms ...

Intrinsic Photoactive Star ZnPc–Poly(glutamate) Nanoplatforms for Multimodal Glioblastoma Therapy and Brain‐Targeted Delivery

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An intrinsic photoactive star‐shaped zinc phtalocyanine‐poly(L‐glutamic acid) (ZnPc‐PGA) nanoplatform for multimodal glioblastoma (GBM) therapy and brain‐targeted elivery. A ZnPc‐PGA‐based multifunctional theranostic nanocarrier platform enables image‐guided, multimodal GBM therapy. ZnPc‐PGA nanocarriers support the integration of fluorescence imaging,

Ultrasmall High‐Entropy Materials: Nanoscale Effects, Synthesis, and Mechanistic Insights

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review article focuses on sub‐10 nm high‐entropy materials that combine nanoscale design with complex compositions for next‐generation applications. ABSTRACT Ultrasmall high‐entropy nanomaterials (USHENMs, <10 nm) merge multicomponent chemistry with size‐dependent effects, forming a distinct class of materials with unprecedented properties.

An error floor in tone calibrated transmission

, 1988
Use of a low level pilot tone has been shown to eliminate the error floor in fading channels. This paper demonstrates that non-idealities in the receiver's pilot tone filter cause reappearance of the error floor. It also presents the bit error rate (BER)

Error in the estimation of intellectual ability in the low range using the WISC-IV and WAIS-III

, 2010
The error, both chance and systematic, in the measure of true intellectual ability in the low IQ range is quantified and combined to find an overall confidence interval.
