Revegetation with herbaceous plants has been effective in neutralizing land degradation; however, there is limited understanding about the water use characteristics and influences on soil dynamics of revegetated species for ecological restoration. Hence, stable isotopic composition xylem water, groundwater was measured to investigate uptake patterns Bromus inermis Medicago sativa semi-arid agro...

Clinical mastitis (CM) and monthly test-day somatic cell count (SCC) records on Holstein cows were used to investigate the genetic and economic relationship of lactation average (of natural logarithms of) monthly test-day SCC (LSCC) with CM. After editing, there were 23663 lactation records on 17937 cows from 257 herds. Three groups of herds were first identified as having low (L), medium (M) a...

BACKGROUND In the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), lung-protective ventilation strategies combine the delivery of small tidal volumes (VT) with sufficient positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). However, an optimal approach guiding the setting of PEEP has not been defined. Monitoring volumetric capnography is useful to detect changes in lung aeration. OBJECTIVES The aim of this st...

This study applies methods of Image processing, Haar Cascade, and PID in building a system on an autonomous car. The working car has currently gained interest for the exploration. processing method is utilized to detect road markings applying algorithms (BGR RGB, Perspective transformation, threshold, canny edge, histogram) navigating pixel parameter values with actual distances. line detection...

BACKGROUND Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) delivers airway pressure (Paw) in proportion to neural inspiratory drive as reflected by electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi). Changing positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) impacts respiratory muscle load and function and, hence, EAdi. We aimed to evaluate how PEEP affects the breathing pattern and neuroventilatory efficiency duri...
