Planning-Assisted Context-Sensitive Autonomous Shepherding of Dispersed Robotic Swarms in Obstacle-Cluttered Environments [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Robotic shepherding is a bio-inspired approach to autonomously guiding a swarm of agents towards a desired location. The research area has earned increasing research interest recently due to the efficacy of controlling a large number of agents in a swarm (sheep) using a smaller number of actuators (sheepdogs).

Disturbances in Influence of a Shepherding Agent is More Impactful than Sensorial Noise During Swarm Guidance [PDF]
, 2020 The guidance of a large swarm is a challenging control problem. Shepherding offers one approach to guide a large swarm using a few shepherding agents (sheepdogs). While noise is an inherent characteristic in many real-world problems, the impact of noise on shepherding is not a well-studied problem. We study two forms of noise.

Consumer Perceptions of Meat Redness Were Strongly Influenced by Storage and Display Times
Foods, 2021 Lamb (n = 79) meat colour was scored by 879 untrained consumers using a scale of 0 (brown) to 100 (red). This consumer colour score (CCS) was obtained on m. longissimus lumborum (loin) and m. semimembranosus (topside), stored for short (5–7 days), medium

A Comparison of the Mechanical Properties of ECM Components and Synthetic Self‐Assembling Peptides
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Self‐assembling peptide hydrogels are increasingly utilized in biomedical applications. The authors review the key mechanical properties of these structures across multiple size scales and compare them to that of native extracellular matrix components, which are found to display a much wider range of structural attributes.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CDH18 gene affect growth traits in Hu sheep
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Growth traits are critical economic traits in sheep. Genetic polymorphism has a great influence on the improvement of sheep traits. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of cadherin 18 (CDH18) gene polymorphisms on growth traits in Hu sheep.
