Immunization against inhibin DNA vaccine as an alternative therapeutic for improving follicle development and reproductive performance in beef cattle.

The objective of the present study was to investigate the potential role of immunization against INH on follicular development, serum reproductive hormone (FSH, E, and P) concentrations, and reproductive performance in beef cattle. A total of 196 non-lactating female beef cattle (4-5 years old) with identical calving records (3 records) were immunized with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 mg [(T1, n = 58), (...

A spatiotemporal deep learning approach for pedestrian crash risk prediction based on POI trip characteristics and pedestrian exposure intensity.

Pedestrians represent a population of vulnerable road users who are directly exposed to complex traffic conditions, thereby increasing their risk of injury or fatality. This study first constructed a multidimensional indicator to quantify pedestrian exposure, considering factors such as Point of Interest (POI) attributes, POI intensity, traffic volume, and pedestrian walkability. Following risk in...
