Tongue reshaping: a new surgical method to prevent self-sucking in dairy cows [PDF]
Open Veterinary Journal, 2018 Self-sucking behaviors lead to substantial milk loss and inflammation of the udder and teats among dairy cows. Both conservative and surgical approaches are available to prevent such behavior; however, the current methods are limited by variable efficacy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

Miniaturized Magnetic Tip Design for Endoluminal Vine Robot Navigation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A magnetic tip mount is designed for a miniaturized 7 mm soft‐growing vine robot to enable wireless magnetic steering and onboard imaging, while preserving a 3 mm working channel. The internal–external ring magnets design balances magnetic attachment with low eversion pressure. Experiments demonstrate ±90° steering, 34 mm bending radius, and successful

ABNORMAL SUCKING BEHAVIOR IN CNS-DAMAGED PREMATURE INFANTS [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1984 Sucking behavior in growing premature infants has received little attention. Non-nutritive (NNS) and nutritive (NS) sucking was measured by suckometer 30 minutes prior to routine feedings, in 11 premature, AGA infants at 5-12 weeks of age, mean corrected age (C.A.) = 39-40 weeks.
