Alley floor Cleanliness in Dairy Cubicle Barns

Different alley flooring systems have been found to influence claw health and locomotion among dairy cows in cubicle barns. The ability to keep the alley floors clean and dry is part of this. It is, however, challenging to keep the alleys clean at all time. Different cleaning regimes are used, and barns are equipped with a diversity of scrapers and alley surfaces.

Alley CATs in search of good homes

A score sequence of a tournament is a monotonically non-decreasing sequence of the out-degrees of its vertices. We develop two algorithms that generates all score sequences, each of which appears to use only a constant amount of computation per sequence produced. A degree sequence of a graph is a monotonically non-increasing sequence of the degrees of its vertices. We develop an algorithm that ...

Pyrethroid insecticide exposure in school-aged children living in rice and aquacultural farming regions of Thailand

BACKGROUND Pyrethroid insecticides (PYR) are commonly used in rice farms and household pest control in Thailand. No investigative study has yet been made regarding factors associated with PYR exposure among Thai children.
