Broiler responses to digestible threonine at different ages: a neural networks approach.

Journal of animal physiology and animal nutrition
Three experiments were conducted with broiler chickens to evaluate the effects of digestible threonine (DThr) and crude protein (CP) on their performance at three different phases of age: 1-14, 15-28 and 29-42 days. The measured traits included the f...

Group sessions with Paro in a nursing home: Structure, observations and interviews.

Australasian journal on ageing
AIM: We recently reported that a companion robot reduced residents' loneliness in a randomised controlled trial at an aged-care facility. This report aims to provide additional, previously unpublished data about how the sessions were run, residents' ...

Relative Attribute SVM+ Learning for Age Estimation.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
When estimating age, human experts can provide privileged information that encodes the facial attributes of aging, such as smoothness, face shape, face acne, wrinkles, and bags under-eyes. In automatic age estimation, privileged information is unavai...

Novel method to predict body weight in children based on age and morphological facial features.

Journal of clinical pharmacology
A new and novel approach of predicting the body weight of children based on age and morphological facial features using a three-layer feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) model is reported. The model takes in four parameters, including age-ba...

Towards a future robotic home environment: a survey.

Gerontology
PURPOSE: Demographic change has resulted in an increase of elderly people, while at the same time the number of active working people is falling. In the future, there will be less caretaking, which is necessary to support the aging population. In ord...

The Retinal Age Gap as a Marker of Accelerated Aging in the Early Course of Schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia bulletin
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: Given the available findings confirming accelerated brain aging in schizophrenia (SZ), we conducted a study aimed at verifying whether quantitative retinal morphological data enable age prediction and whether schizophrenia ...

Sex-specific body fat distribution predicts cardiovascular ageing.

European heart journal
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cardiovascular ageing is a progressive loss of physiological reserve, modified by environmental and genetic risk factors, that contributes to multi-morbidity due to accumulated damage across diverse cell types, tissues, and organ...

Unveiling the ageing-related genes in diagnosing osteoarthritis with metabolic syndrome by integrated bioinformatics analysis and machine learning.

Artificial cells, nanomedicine, and biotechnology
Ageing significantly contributes to osteoarthritis (OA) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) pathogenesis, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. This study aimed to identify ageing-related biomarkers in OA patients with MetS. OA and MetS datasets an...
