Actuating Shape Memory Polymer for Thermoresponsive Soft Robotic Gripper and Programmable Materials.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
For soft robotics and programmable metamaterials, novel approaches are required enabling the design of highly integrated thermoresponsive actuating systems. In the concept presented here, the necessary functional component was obtained by polymer syn...

Automated measurement of broiler stretching behaviors under four stocking densities via faster region-based convolutional neural network.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience
Stretching behavior is one of the broiler comfort behaviors that could be used for animal welfare assessment. However, there is currently no methodology for automatic monitoring of stretching behavior under representative production practices. The ob...

Visual Guidance and Egg Collection Scheme for a Smart Poultry Robot for Free-Range Farms.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Free-range chicken farming allows egg-laying hens to move freely through their environment and perform their natural behavior, including laying her eggs. However, it takes time to gather these eggs manually, giving rise to high labor costs. This stud...

Sensitivity analysis based on the random forest machine learning algorithm identifies candidate genes for regulation of innate and adaptive immune response of chicken.

Poultry science
Two categories of immune responses-innate and adaptive immunity-have both polygenic backgrounds and a significant environmental component. The goal of the reported study was to define candidate genes and mutations for the immune traits of interest in...

Application of machine learning algorithm and modified high resolution DNA melting curve analysis for molecular subtyping of Salmonella isolates from various epidemiological backgrounds in northern Thailand.

World journal of microbiology & biotechnology
Food poisoning from consumption of food contaminated with non-typhoidal Salmonella spp. is a global problem. A modified high resolution DNA melting curve analysis (m-HRMa) was introduced to provide effective discrimination among closely related HRM c...

The behaviour of commercial broilers in response to a mobile robot.

British poultry science
1. Modern broiler production in large sheds holding upwards of 50 000 birds uses indoor climate control based on a handful of fixed-location sensors, often well above the bird-occupied zone. Significant deviations from optimal climate conditions for ...

Machine Learning-Guided Prediction of Antigen-Reactive In Silico Clonotypes Based on Changes in Clonal Abundance through Bio-Panning.

Biomolecules
c-Met is a promising target in cancer therapy for its intrinsic oncogenic properties. However, there are currently no c-Met-specific inhibitors available in the clinic. Antibodies blocking the interaction with its only known ligand, hepatocyte growth...

Assessment of Laying Hens' Thermal Comfort Using Sound Technology.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Heat stress is one of the most important environmental stressors facing poultry production and welfare worldwide. The detrimental effects of heat stress on poultry range from reduced growth and egg production to impaired health. Animal vocalisations ...

Evaluating Convolutional Neural Networks for Cage-Free Floor Egg Detection.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The manual collection of eggs laid on the floor (or 'floor eggs') in cage-free (CF) laying hen housing is strenuous and time-consuming. Using robots for automatic floor egg collection offers a novel solution to reduce labor yet relies on robust egg d...
