the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of ensiling pistachio by-product (pbp) on nutrient value, some physical and chemical parameters. fresh pbp was ensiled into a trench silo for three months and simultaneously amount of pbp was dried in front of the sun. chemical composition, buffering capacity, water holding capacity, protein fractionation according to cornell net carboh...

Abstract Silo-cave is a unique human habitation form on the Loess Plateau in northern China, which consists of an excavated 6–7 m deep pit as courtyard and cave dwellings surrounding four walls. This architecture has had history more than 7000 years, yet such “living fossils for dwellings” are now facing great crises challenges during rapid social economic development. In this paper, remote sen...

Bilateral congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare birth defect, with a poor prognosis. We describe a case of bilateral CDH discovered while repairing the right sided CDH. Diaphragmatic defect was repaired and a silo was applied on the abdominal wound to avoid abdominal compartment syndrome. The patient however died postoperatively due to severe pulmonary hypertension.

Communication efficiency is crucial for federated learning (FL). Conducting local training steps in clients to reduce the communication frequency between and server a common method address this issue. However, it leads client drift problem due non-i.i.d. data distributions different which severely deteriorates performance. In work, we propose new improve performance cross-silo FL via maintainin...

Water, energy, and agricultural infrastructure investments have important inter-relations fulfilling potentially competing objectives. When shaping investment plans, decision makers need to evaluate those interactions the associated uncertainties. We compare planning under uncertainty with an integrated water-energy-food nexus framework sector-centered (silo) frameworks. use WHAT-IF, open-sourc...
