Abattoir antemortem inspection protocol: Observation of unloading improves detection of transport welfare compromises in livestock

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ensuring livestock welfare throughout the production chain, including transport, is an ethical and regulatory imperative. However, protocols to assess transport‐related welfare during routine abattoir inspections are not standardised, including antemortem (AM) inspection by an official veterinarian at UK abattoirs.

Assessing physiological, behavioral and movement responses to Suprelorin implant delivery methods in free‐ranging eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Overabundant populations of eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus in peri‐urban areas pose ecological and social challenges. Current management strategies are often hindered by animal welfare and logistical concerns. This study aimed to assess stress responses of kangaroos to two contraceptive delivery methods.

AGPLO‐Driven Optimisation for Accurate Segmentation of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in Medical Imaging

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent thyroid malignancy, and accurate lesion segmentation is essential for clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. Metaheuristic optimisation algorithms have been widely used in Multi‐Threshold Image Segmentation (MTIS), but many existing methods suffer from an imbalance between global ...

On A New Class of Tempered Stable Distributions: Moments and Regular Variation

open access: yes, 2011
We extend the class of tempered stable distributions first introduced in Rosinski 2007. Our new class allows for more structure and more variety of tail behaviors. We discuss various subclasses and the relation between them.

Practical Day‐Ahead Gas Generator Dispatch Optimisation for Enhancing the Reserved Capacity

open access: yesIET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
Practical day‐ahead gas generator dispatch optimisation model is proposed to enhance the system reserved capacity. ABSTRACT In order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, traditional coal‐fired power generation has been strictly limited in China recently, which has led to the problem of reserved capacity shortage. As one of the critical east provinces of
