Background: Calf diarrhea is an important disease that is caused by different pathogens including bacteria, virus and parasites and is associated with economic losses. Objectives: In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial activities of Zatacin (Z. multiflora aerial part ethanol extract), colistin, co-Trimoxazole and enrofloxacin against clinical isolates of Salmonella sp, E. coli and Campyl...

This paper examines some of the methods animals and humans have of adapting their environment. Because there are limits on how many different tasks a creature can be designed to do well in, creatures with the capacity to redesign their environments have an adaptive advantage over those who can only passively adapt to existing environmental structures. To clarify environmental redesign I rely on...

Accessibility of digital libraries and other web-based repositories has caused the illusion of accessibility of the full texts of scientific papers. However, in the majority of cases such an access (at least free access) is limited only to abstracts having no more then 50-100 words. Traditional keyword-based approach for clustering this type of documents gives unstable and imprecise results. We...

Traditional control charts are commonly based on the averages of the inspected groups of observations. It turns out to be quite worthwhile to consider alternative approaches. In particular, a very good proposal is to use instead the group minimum for comparison to some suitable upper limit (and likewise the group maximum for comparison to a lower limit). The power of detection during Out-of-Con...

OBJECTIVE Compared with in utero transport, incubator transport for preterm infants has several disadvantages including instability during transport with increased mortality and morbidity, lack of adequate systems for securing the infant in the event of an accident, and separation of mother and infant. As a new kind of postnatal transportation that bears some analogy to in utero transport and m...

Reinforcement learning (RL) is typically framed as a machine paradigm where agents learn to act autonomously in complex environments. This paper argues instead that RL fundamentally human the loop (HitL). The reward functions (and other components) of Markov decision process are defined by humans. decisions tackle certain problem, and deploy learned solution, taken Humans can also play critical...
