Identification of acoustic parameters for broiler welfare estimate

The Welfare of Broiler Chickens

Comparison of different models to estimate genetic parameters for carcass traits in a commercial broiler line.

The effect of genetic and non-genetic factors for carcass, breast meat and leg weights, and yields of a commercial broiler line were investigated using the restricted maximum likelihood method, considering four different animal models, including or excluding maternal genetic effect with covariance between direct and maternal genetic effects, and maternal permanent environmental effect. The like...

technical and legal parameters for determination of river boundary,( case study haraz river)

چکیده با توسعه شهر نشینی و دخل و تصرف غیر مجاز در حریم رودخانه ها خسارات زیادی به رودخانه و محیط زیست اطراف آن وارده می شود. در حال حاضر بر اساس آئین نامه اصلاح شده بستر و حریم رودخانه ها، حریم کمی رودخانه که بلافاصله پس از بستر قرار می گیرد از 1 تا20 متر از منتهی الیه طرفین بستر رودخانه تعیین، که مقدار دقیق آن در هر بازه از رودخانه مشخص نیست. در کشورهای دیگر روشهای متفاوتی من جمله: درصد ریسک...

Using paired visual and passive acoustic surveys to estimate passive acoustic detection parameters for harbor porpoise abundance estimates.

Passive acoustic monitoring is a promising approach for monitoring long-term trends in harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) abundance. Before passive acoustic monitoring can be implemented to estimate harbor porpoise abundance, information about the detectability of harbor porpoise is needed to convert recorded numbers of echolocation clicks to harbor porpoise densities. In the present study, pa...

FACTS Control Parameters Identification for Enhancement of Power System Stability

The aim of this paper is to investigate a novel approach for output feedback damping controller design ofSTATCOM in order to enhance the damping of power system low frequency oscillations (LFO). The design ofoutput feedback controller is considered as an optimization problem according with the time domain-basedobjective function which is solved by a honey bee mating optimization algorithm (HBMO...
