• Automatic monitoring of the positioning behaviour slaughter pigs within a pen. We make use convolutional neural networks with linear regression output. The trained models generalize well to unseen data. Pre-trained can be fine-tuned situations data one day Pen fouling is an undesired pigs, which increases labour costs for farmer, worsens hygiene and welfare has negative environmental conseque...

In the title complex, [Ni(C(7)H(4)NO(3)S)(2)(C(3)H(10)N(2))(2)] or [Ni(sac)(2)(pen)(2)] (sac = saccharinate or 1,1,3-trioxo-2,3-dihydro-1λ(6,2)-benzothia-zol-2-ide and pen = propane-1,3-diamine), the Ni(II) ion sits on an inversion center, being coordinated by two N atoms of the sac ligands, which occupy trans positions, and four N atoms of the bidentate pen ligands to define a distorted octa-h...

This paper presents an accelerometer-based pen device for online handwriting recognition applications. The accelerometer-based pen device consists of a triaxial accelerometer, a microcontroller, and an RF wireless transmission module. Users can hold the pen device to write numerals in air without space limitations. The accelerations generated by hand motions are generated by the accelerometer e...

Background. Pre-diabetes is one of the most widespread epidemics in world. Pre-diabetics are susceptible to diabetes. The prevalence prediabetes status higher than that Lifestyle modification at this stage may delay onset type 2 diabetes for ten years. present study aims determining Dezful pre-diabetic women’s experiences diabetic preventive eating behaviors. Methods. employed a directed qualit...

BACKGROUND Advances in insulin pen technology continue to improve the usability of these devices for patients with diabetes. In this study, ergonomic features and injection force, as measured by glide force (GF) and glide force variability (GFV), were evaluated for the new Humalog Mix75/25 KwikPen (KwikPen) and compared with the NovoLog Mix 70/30 FlexPen (FlexPen). METHODS Fifty prefilled ins...

This paper discusses the use of pen pressure as a feature in writer-independent on-line handwriting recognition. We propose two kinds of features related to pen pressure: one is the pressure representing pen ups and downs in a continuous manner; the other is the time-derivative of the pressure representing the temporal pattern of the pen pressure. Combining either of them with the existing feat...

Salinity of soil is a major abiotic stress limiting the crop production and growth of safflower. To mitigate stress, the effects of penconazole (PEN) on the growth of safflower were studied to understand the underlying mechanisms of salt tolerance. PEN, a triazole derivative, which has both fungicidal and plant growth regulator properties, protects plants from several types of abiotic stresses....

A new handwriting model is proposed for simulating complex handwriting variation in obedience to individual handwriting tendencies. Individual handwriting t,endency is represented as a set of deformation rules each of which deforms one structure of pen movements. Characters are represented as hierarchical descriptions of pen movements, so that deformation rules for various types of pen movement...
