Machine‐Learning‐Based, Feature‐Rich Prediction of Alumina Microstructure from Hardness
Herein, high‐performance generative adversarial network (GAN), named ‘Microstructure‐GAN’, is demonstrated. After training, the high‐fidelity, feature‐rich micrographs can be predicted for an arbitrary target hardness. Microstructure details such as small pores and grain boundaries can be observed at the nanometer scale in the predicted 1000 ...

Enhancing Sensitivity across Scales with Highly Sensitive Hall Effect‐Based Auxetic Tactile Sensors
Herein, a tactile sensor based on hall‐effect sensors with an auxetic structure, called Hall effect‐based auxetic tactile sensor (HEATS), is proposed. The change in magnetism resulting from the deformation of the auxetic structure is utilized for sensing.

Genetic variation in dairy cattle claw health traits recorded by claw trimmers [PDF]
Claw health has been recorded by claw trimmers at trimming in Sweden since 1996, but data was then captured at each AI association. From 2003 data was captured by central scanning and entered directly to the national cow data base at the Swedish Dairy ...

Digital health and conformation were assessed in 216 dairy cattle on 78 randomly selected small-scale farms. For each cow, gait was assessed and the digits examined in detail. Hoof measurements (angle and length of the dorsal hoof wall, heel depth and hoof-base area) were also made. Hoof measurements varied most between individual cattle.
