This study aimed at determining the physico-morphological attributes, in vitrofertilityand their interrelationships in semen of Sahiwal bulls. Semen samples werecollected weekly for 6 weeks from ten mature Sahiwal bulls divided randomly into 5 groups. The mean (±SEM) of ejaculate volume (mL), mass activity (score 0-5), progressive sperm motility (%), sperm concentration (106/mL), live sperm (%)...

Identifying matching attributes across heterogeneous data sources is a critical and time-consuming step in integrating the data sources. In this paper, the author proposes a method for matching the most frequently encountered types of attributes across overlapping heterogeneous data sources. The author uses mutual information as a unified measure of dependence on various types of attributes. An...

The naive Bayesian classiier provides a very simple yet surprisingly accurate technique for machine learning. Some researchers have examined extensions to the naive Bayesian classiier that seek to further improve the accuracy. For example, a naive Bayesian tree approach generates a decision tree with one naive Bayesian classiier at each leaf. Another example is a constructive Bayesian classiier...

Large-scale patterns of animal distributions and abundances may be determined by mechanisms that act at local or landscape scales. We studied the movement behaviors of four species of bottomland butterflies in a natural setting to examine the determinants of movement behavior across different scales. We tested the relative importance of three landscape attributes: drainage slope, boundary type,...

Reading an action verb elicits the retrieval of its associated body movements as well as its typical goal-the outcome to which it is directed. Two fMRI experiments are reported in which retrieval of goal attributes was isolated from retrieval of motoric ones by contrasting actions that are either done intentionally (e.g., drink) and thus have associated goal information or by accident (e.g., hi...

In this article, meteorological and agricultural droughts across the Erbil province, Iraq, were assessed using remote sensing data satellite products. To end, long-term (2000–2022) Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration index (SPEI) at 1- 3-month accumulation periods (SPEI-1 SPEI-3) as well Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) utilized. While former was retrieved from global SPE...

Our goal is to make a recommendation system based on taste of products for each customer estimated by observing their behavior in a retail store. The dominant attributes in customer's taste are estimated by Conjoint analysis of the attributes of product and the degree of interest in product estimated from customer's behavior. We achieved success 3 of 4 customers, in the experiment in the trial ...

Traditionally, marketers have focused on functional and meaningful product differentiation and have shown that such differentiation is important because consumers engage in a deliberate reasoning process (Chernev, 2001; Shafir et al., 1993; Simonson, 1989). However, nowadays products in many categories are functionally highly similar, and it is difficult for consumers to differentiate products ...
