Objective: This study aimed to determine phenotypic correlations between carcass part yields (breast and thigh yield) meat quality characteristics (pHu, lightness, redness, yellowness, chroma, hue, thawing loss, cooking water holding capacity, texture) in Japanese quails.Material Methods: was carried out on a total of 130 quails with mixed sexes. Twenty-four hours after slaughter, pHu color mea...

In this paper, a simple architecture for subsampling LC-based continuous-time Σ∆ modulators is introduced. The concept of utilizing loop delay to simplify the modulator architecture is generalized to subsampling modulators. Moreover, it is shown that is possible to remove delay-compensation branch usually used in traditional designs. Removing delay-compensation branch results in a significant s...

Spectral decorrelation (transformations) methods have long been used in remote sensing. Transformation of the image data onto eigenvectors that comprise physically meaningful spectral properties (signal) can be used to reduce the dimensionality of hyperspectral images as the number of spectrally distinct signal sources composing a given hyperspectral scene is generally much less than the number...

We analyse a random walk on the ring of integers mod n, which at each time point can make an additive ‘step’ or a multiplicative ‘jump’. When the probability of making a jump tends to zero as an appropriate power of n we prove the existence of a total variation precutoff for this walk. In addition, we show that the process obtained by subsampling our walk at jump times exhibits a true cutoff, w...

We describe a “constant pace” framework for video summarization via fast playback or temporal subsampling. The pace of the summary serves as a parameter that enables production of a video summary of any desired length. Earlier, we showed that the intensity of motion activity (or pace) of a video sequence is a good indication of its “summarizability.” Here we build on this notion by adapting the...

We compare three remote visualization strategies used for interactive exploration of large data sets in distributed environments: image-based rendering, parallel visualization servers, and subsampling. To determine the regimes for which each approach is most cost-effective, we develop performance models to study the computation and communication costs associated with the common visualization ta...

Objective: The orange-red spectrum of  the skin of  electric yellow (Labidochromis caeruleus) is  one  of  the  idealistic and  necessary  schemas sought  by  aquarists  and commercial producers. In this study, the effect of live foods meal on the skin coloration of juvenile electric yellow was examined. Methods: 270 fish with an average living body weight was 0.42 ± 0.11 g, and averag...
