Non-Invasive Sheep Biometrics Obtained by Computer Vision Algorithms and Machine Learning Modeling Using Integrated Visible/Infrared Thermal Cameras.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Live sheep export has become a public concern. This study aimed to test a non-contact biometric system based on artificial intelligence to assess heat stress of sheep to be potentially used as automated animal welfare assessment in farms and while in...

Deep learning protocol for improved photoacoustic brain imaging.

Journal of biophotonics
One of the key limitations for the clinical translation of photoacoustic imaging is penetration depth that is linked to the tissue maximum permissible exposures (MPE) recommended by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Here, we propose a...

A comparative analysis of saponin-enriched fraction from (Moench) Garcke, (Gaertn) and (Santapau and Fernandes): an hemolytic and cytotoxicity evaluation.

Animal biotechnology
To explore the newer saponin resources, toxicity of saponin-enriched fraction (SEF) extracted from (SV) was evaluated for first time and compared with toxicity of SEF extracted from (SM) and (CV). All extracted SEF from diverse resources were cha...

Latent Phase Identification of High-Frequency Micro-Scale Gamma Spike Transients in the Hypoxic Ischemic EEG of Preterm Fetal Sheep Using Spectral Analysis and Fuzzy Classifiers.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Premature babies are at high risk of serious neurodevelopmental disabilities, which in many cases are related to perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Studies of neuroprotection in animal models consistently suggest that treatment must be ...

A Concentric Tube Robot System for Rigid Bronchoscopy: A Feasibility Study on Central Airway Obstruction Removal.

Annals of biomedical engineering
New robotic systems have recently emerged to assist with peripheral lung access, but a robotic system for rigid bronchoscopy has yet to be developed. We describe a new robotic system that can deliver thin robotic manipulators through the ports of sta...

Meat quality evaluation based on computer vision technique: A review.

Meat science
Nowadays people tend to include more meat in their diet thanks to the improvement in standards of living as well as an increase in awareness of meat nutritive values. To ensure public health, therefore, there is a need for a rise in worldwide meat pr...

A low-cost, automated parasite diagnostic system via a portable, robotic microscope and deep learning.

Journal of biophotonics
Manual hand counting of parasites in fecal samples requires costly components and substantial expertise, limiting its use in resource-constrained settings and encouraging overuse of prophylactic medication. To address this issue, a cost-effective, au...

Combination of LEDs and cognitive modeling to quantify sheep cheese whey in watercourses.

Talanta
The concentration of sheep cheese whey (CW) in water obtained from two Spanish reservoirs, two Spanish rivers, and distilled water has been estimated by combining spectroscopic measurements, obtained with light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and linear or n...

Anthelmintic effect and tissue alterations induced in vitro by hydrolysable tannins on the adult stage of the gastrointestinal nematode Haemonchus contortus.

Veterinary parasitology
Haemonchus contortus constitutes a severe problem for ruminant's production, it is the most frequent nematode parasite both in template and tropical regions, induces economical losses, and shows increasing resistance to currently available anthelmint...

Estimation of somatic cell count levels of hard cheeses using physicochemical composition and artificial neural networks.

Journal of dairy science
This study addresses the prediction of the somatic cell counts of the milk used in the production of sheep cheese using artificial neural networks. To achieve this objective, the neural network was designed using 33 parameters of the physicochemical ...
