To avoid collisions, flies steer away from expanding visual scenes generated during straight flight: so how do they fly forward when no collision is imminent? A new study shows that wind compensates for this aversion, allowing flies to forge ahead.

Modern millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems rely on beam alignment to deliver sufficient beamforming gain close the link between devices. We present a novel selection methodology for multi-panel, full-duplex mmWave systems, which we call Steer, that delivers high while significantly reducing self-interference coupled transmit and receive beams. Steer does not necessitate changes conve...

ABSTRACT One persistent question in animal navigation is how animals follow habitual routes between their home and a food source. Our current understanding of insect suggests an interplay visual memories, collision avoidance path integration, the continuous integration distance direction travelled. However, these behavioural modules have to be continuously updated with instantaneous information...

It is vital for mobile robots to achieve safe autonomous steering in various changing environments. In this paper, a novel end-to-end network architecture proposed learn autonomously through deep reinforcement learning. Specifically, two sets of feature representations are first extracted from the depth inputs different input streams. The acquired features then merged together derive both linea...

Feed efficiency is of particular importance to the beef industry, as feed costs represent the single largest variable cost in beef production systems. Selection for more efficient cattle will lead to reduction of feed related costs, but should not have adverse impacts on quality of the carcass. In this study, we evaluated phenotypic and genetic correlations of residual feed intake (RFI), RFI ad...

Studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of early weaning steer calves on BW gain, feedlot performance, and carcass characteristics in two herds located in the Northern Great Plains, USA. Steer calves from predominantly Angus Hereford dams were stratified within dam age and calving date (Fort Keogh Livestock and Range Research Laboratory (LARRL), Miles City, MT, USA; n1⁄4354) and randomly ...
