Mean and variation in back fat influence profit of pig production
Profit of pig production is influenced by several traits. Selection decisions should therefore be based on an economic index ($Index), which is the sum of estimated breeding values (EBVs) of individual traits multiplied by their economic value.

A Transnasal Endoscope for Robotically Assisted Gastroscopy
This work introduces a 4.25 mm diameter magnetically navigated transnasal endoscope for upper gastrointestinal (GI) screening and intervention. The system enables precise remote steering throughout the upper GI tract and is demonstrated through in vitro and in vivo experiments, including the robotic execution of preprogrammed retroflexions, trans ...
