Research Note: Longitudinal monitoring of chicken houses in a commercial layer farm for antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli with special reference to plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance.

Poultry science
Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes located on conjugative plasmids can be transferred to other bacteria in the absence of antimicrobial selective pressure. To elucidate the prevalence of resistance, including PMQR in an egg-producing ...

Inexpensive robotic system for standard and fluorescent imaging of protein crystals.

Acta crystallographica. Section F, Structural biology communications
Protein-crystallization imaging and classification is a labor-intensive process typically performed either by humans or by instruments that currently cost well over $100 000. This cost puts the use of crystallization-trial imaging outside the reach o...

Artificial Intelligence in Radiotherapy: A Philosophical Perspective.

Journal of medical imaging and radiation sciences
The increasing uptake of machine learning solutions for segmentation and planning leaves no doubt that artificial intelligence (AI) will soon be providing input into a range of radiotherapy procedures. Although this promises to deliver increased spee...

A classification model for lncRNA and mRNA based on k-mers and a convolutional neural network.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is closely related to many biological activities. Since its sequence structure is similar to that of messenger RNA (mRNA), it is difficult to distinguish between the two based only on sequence biometrics...

Using mid-infrared spectroscopy and supervised machine-learning to identify vertebrate blood meals in the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis.

Malaria journal
BACKGROUND: The propensity of different Anopheles mosquitoes to bite humans instead of other vertebrates influences their capacity to transmit pathogens to humans. Unfortunately, determining proportions of mosquitoes that have fed on humans, i.e. Hum...

Comparison between random forest and gradient boosting machine methods for predicting Listeria spp. prevalence in the environment of pastured poultry farms.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Foodborne pathogens such as Listeria spp. contain the ability to survive and multiply in poultry farming environments, which provides a route of contamination for poultry processing environments and final poultry products. An understanding of the eff...

Protective effects of Ganoderma triterpenoids on cadmium-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory injury in chicken livers.

Journal of trace elements in medicine and biology : organ of the Society for Minerals and Trace Elements (GMS)
Several studies have been conducted on liver damage caused by cadmium, but few on the protective effects of Ganoderma triterpenoids against liver damage due to cadmium. This experiment was designed to evaluate the protective effects of Ganoderma trit...

Immunogenicity of Concentrated and Purified Inactivated Avian Influenza Vaccine Formulation.

Archives of Razi Institute
Avian influenza (AI) H9N2 is a low pathogenic virus subtype belonging to Orthomyxoviridae family. Given the prevalence of this subtype as an infectious agent in poultry industry, special attention has been always directed toward the development of va...

Development of a sandwich ELISA for determining plasma prolactin concentration in domestic birds.

Domestic animal endocrinology
The present study was conducted to establish a sandwich ELISA for the determination of prolactin (PRL) concentrations in the plasma of domestic fowls. The assay uses a recombinant goose PRL as the reference standard, expressed in a eukaryotic system,...

Classification of Chicken Parts Using a Portable Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectrophotometer and Machine Learning.

Applied spectroscopy
Identification of different chicken parts using portable equipment could provide useful information for the processing industry and also for authentication purposes. Traditionally, physical-chemical analysis could deal with this task, but some disadv...
