TAIL biting is relatively common in pigs but is rare in cattle. There are three reports in the literature (Sigsgaard and Hansen 1979, Meindertsma 1986, van der Mei 1986) with phosphorous deficiency and associated pica thought the likely cause in one of these (Sigsgaard and Hansen 1979). Tail trauma, on the other hand, can be common in fattening cattle,

On Tail-Biting Polarization-Adjusted Convolutional (TB-PAC) Codes and Small-Sizes List Decoding
IEEE Communications Letters, 2023Polarization-adjusted convolutional (PAC) coding is a good concatenation of convolutional codes and polar codes. For short block-length codes ( $N\leq 128$ ), PAC codes with a sequential decoding or a list decoding with large list-sizes ( $L\geq 128 ...

On the Secrecy Gain of Isodual Lattices from Tail-Biting Convolutional Codes
International Symposium on Turbo Codes and Iterative Information Processing, 2023The secrecy gain of Construction A isodual lattices obtained from rate 1/2 binary tail-biting convolutional codes is considered. The secrecy gain criterion has been proposed in lattice coding for the Gaussian wiretap channel to characterize the secrecy ...

Tail-biting: A new perspective
The Veterinary Journal, 2010Tail-biting data from different studies are difficult to compare because a range of definitions of tail-biting behaviour and tail-biting lesions are used. Although records from abattoirs provide a large database, their usefulness is restricted as tail-biting is under-recorded and environmental and husbandry factors associated with the behaviour are ...

Abstract Extract Sir:- Over the last year or so we have seen an apparent increase in the number of pigs with tail bites at the Tomoana plant, Judging from talks with works people, Meat Inspectors, and colleagues, the condition seems to be accepted as an unavoidable affliction connected with industrialised pig-rearing.

On Tail Biting Convolutional Codes
IEEE Transactions on Communications, 1986In this paper, we introduce generalized tail biting encoding as a means to ameliorate the rate deficiency caused by zero-tail convolutional encoding. This technique provides an important link between quasi-cyclic block and convolutional codes. Optimum and suboptimum decoding algorithms for these codes are described and their performance determined by ...

To bite or not to bite-a study of tail bits versus tail-biting
Proceedings of PIMRC '96 - 7th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Communications, 2002Tail bits and tail-biting are the two commonly used methods for terminating the trellis of convolutional codes. In this paper, we evaluate the relative performance of these two options by comparing their performance in a variety of cases. Suboptimal decoding algorithms for the tail-biting case are proposed.

Tail Biting in Pigs Behavioral Signs Welfare Impact Risk Factors and Prevention Strategies
Journal of Biomedical Research & Environmental SciencesTail biting in pigs remains a persistent welfare and economic challenge in commercial pig production, despite decades of research. This harmful behavior is driven by a combination of genetic, environmental, and management factors, resulting in injuries ...

219 Social network analysis of tail-biting behavior in growing-finishing pigs with intact tails.
Journal of Animal ScienceUnderstanding the dynamics of tail biting in pigs, such as which pigs are involved and what roles these pigs play in this damaging behavior, can help us develop management strategies to minimize tail biting outbreaks. We evaluated social structures and
