Transhumant production system (TPS) is a type of extensive livestock production practiced by transhumant pastoralists in which indigenous livestock breeds are mainly fed a pasture-based diet. The hypothesis tested in this work was whether differences existed between fat samples from the different species in respect to ratios of n-6/n-3, and polyunsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids. ...

Over the last century the reproduction of sturgeon has been intensively studied par Russian scientists who established a technology for the ranching of alevins which included artificial fertilization of gametes taken from wild broodfish and larvae rearing. More recently, since 1970, major contributions originated from teams in the USA, the EU, Japan and Iran. A rather good knowledge of the repr...

Computer Assisted Visual Interactive Recognition, or CAVIAR, has proven to be an effective methodology for integrating human and machine expertise in addressing challenging pattern recognition tasks. In this paper, we examine the application of the CAVIAR paradigm to problems arising in real-time document analysis in the field. We identify hurdles we expect to encounter, propose potential solut...
