Performance analysis of probabilistic timed automata using digital clocks [PDF]

, 2006
Probabilistic timed automata, a variant of timed automata extended with discrete probability distributions, is a modelling formalism suitable for describing formally both nondeterministic and probabilistic aspects of real-time systems, and is amenable to

Assessing veterinary students’ attitudes towards pain in cattle before and after final‐year clinical training

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cattle only show subtle signs of pain, making pain assessment difficult. The approach to pain and the use of analgesics depend on the treating person's experience and opinions. Methods Bavarian veterinary students were asked to answer two identical questionnaires before and after 12 weeks of clinical training in a ruminant clinic. A

A Coordinated U.S. Biobank Alliance for the Zoological and Conservation Community

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Coordinated biobanking across institutions (squares) makes biobank access more efficient and robust for research and conservation (human figure). ABSTRACT With dramatic advancements in biological data generation, genetic rescue and reproductive technologies, and inter‐institutional coordination of care across entire animal populations, zoos, aquariums,

Fixed-Time Artificial Insemination Versus Artificial Insemination at Stalk Detected in Cows And Heifers

Revista de Gestão Social e Ambiental
Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the pregnancy rate of IACD and IATF in cows and heifers.   Theoretical framework: Artificial insemination at a fixed time (IATF) and artificial insemination at detected heat (IACD) are essential tools in livestock farms, improving the production and reproduction of the herd in a short time,

Direct Comparison of Natural Service versus Timed Artificial Insemination: Reproductive Efficiency and Economics

, 2008
Poor estrus detection contributes to low pregnancy rate (rate of pregnancy by day postpartum [pp]; PR) and economic losses on dairy farms. The use of natural service (NS) and timed artificial insemination (TAI) are two options that minimize problems with

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Viability of Peranakan Etawah Liquid Semen Preserved in Tris Substituted with Various Energy Sources [PDF]

, 2020
The use of liquid semen for artificial insemination program of Etawah crossbreed goat (PE) is an alternative to replace frozen semen which is constrained by limited and expensive facilities. Production of liquid semen is faster than frozen semen, but the
