J. Anim. Sci. Vol. 88, E-Suppl. 2/J. Dairy Sci. Vol. 93, E-Suppl. 1/Poult. Sci. Vol. 89, E-Suppl. 1 ultrasonography was used to determine ovarian hemodynamics. Ewes fed 360 ARG had greater serum arginine concentration than CON, 90 ARG, and 180 ARG on d 11 (175.5 vs. 153.2, 132.3, and 145.4 ± 8.6 nmol/mL, respectively; P = 0.01) and d 12 (166.4 vs. 142.7, 121.7, and 128.2 ± 7.4 nmol/mL, respecti...

While Virtual Reality applications are increasingly attracting the attention of developers and business analysts, the behaviour of users watching 360-degree (i.e. omnidirectional) videos has not been thoroughly studied yet. This paper introduces a dataset of head movements of users watching 360-degree videos on a Head-Mounted Display (HMD). The dataset includes data collected from 59 users watc...

To watch 360 videos on normal 2D displays, we need to project the selected part of the 360 image onto the 2D display plane. In this paper, we propose a fully-automated framework for generating content-aware 2D normal-view perspective videos from 360 videos. Especially, we focus on the projection step preserving important image contents and reducing image distortion. Basically, our projection me...

The use of remotely operated robotic systems in security related applications is becoming increasingly popular. However, the direct teleoperation interfaces commonly used today put a large amount of cognitive burden on the operators, thus seriously reducing the efficiency and reliability of these systems. In the context of an adjustable autonomy control architecture meant to relieve operators f...

Interactive real-time spatialization of audio over large immersive speaker arrays poses significant interface and control challenges for live performers. Fluidly moving and mixing numerous sound objects over unique speaker configurations requires specifically designed software interfaces and systems. Currently available software solutions either impose configuration limitations, require extreme...

Moral sensitivity is the first component of the 4-component moral action process (J. R. Rest, 1986). The author reviews moral sensitivity operationalization and measurement across multiple samples and domains. She reviews 3 definitions of the construct (i.e., recognition and affective response, recognition, and recognition and ascription of importance) and measurement instruments based on these...

Undoubtedly, the MapReduce is the most powerful programming paradigm in distributed computing. The enhancement of the MapReduce is essential and it can lead the computing faster. Therefore, there are many scheduling algorithms to discuss based on their characteristics. Moreover, there are many shortcoming to discover in this field. In this article, we present the state-of-the-art scheduling alg...
