In poultry slaughterhouses, carcasses can be contaminated with microorganisms at various points during the slaughtering processes, affecting some quality characteristics and shelf life of chicken meat. The present study was conducted to investigate effects different de-feathering methods on meat broiler chickens. Forty male broilers 42 days age (Ross 308) were used in experiment. After slaughte...

The functional composition of plant communities (FCPC) makes a significant contribution to ecosystem properties, functions, and services. Here, we used 18 traits from the sPlot database v2.1 global forest management type dataset explore links between FCPC. We post hoc Tukey test differences in community-weighted mean (CWM) variance (CWV) among different types [i.e., intact forests, managed fore...

Urban runoff volumes and flow peaks are likely to increase in the future owing climate change–driven effects on rainfall continued urbanization. Actionable planning estimates that anticipate these impacts needed assess stormwater management infrastructure requirements minimize ecosystem services. This study presents a planning-level simple simulation tool quantifies benefits of green practices ...

In this work, a novel nonlinear filter, called tri-state median (TSM) filter, is proposed for preserving image details while effectively suppressing impulse noise. We incorporate the standard median (SM) filter and the center weighted median (CWM) filter into a noise detection framework to determine whether a pixel is corrupted, before applying filtering unconditionally. Extensive simulation re...

A cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) was developed for the installation of curtain wall modules (CWM). The research addressed question whether CDPR capable installing CWMs with sufficient accuracy while being competitive compared to conventional manual methods. In order develop and test such a system, conceptual framework that consisted three sub-systems defined. tests, carried out in two close...

Since its inception, the Object Management Group (OMG) has provided vendorand languageindependent interoperability standards to the enterprise. The CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) standard has recently been modified for -and embraced by -environments that require specialized real-time, fault-tolerant, and embedded systems. The OMG's complementary core modeling specifications i...
