The objective of this study was to compare the effect of two conventional H9N2 avian influenza (AI) vaccines on replication and shedding of the H9N2 AI virus in broiler chickens. These inactivated oil emulsion vaccines contain either a UAE or an Iranian H9N2 AI isolate. One hundred and fifty one-day-old commercial broiler chickens were randomly divided into six groups. The birds, except for the...

Deep Learning (DL) is moving towards deploying workloads not only in cloud datacenters, but also to the local devices. Although these are mostly limited inference tasks, it still widens range of possible target architectures significantly. Additionally, new targets usually come with drastically reduced computation performance and memory sizes compared traditionally used architectures—and put ke...

Calls for Ethical AI have become urgent and pervasive, especially as ethical issues surrounding products at tech companies are increasingly scrutinized by the public. Yet even after a first wave of responses to these calls coalesced around principles guide decision-making second generated technical tools mitigate specific issues, multiple lines evidence indicate that only limited impact on dail...

Some argue that applying a strict liability regime on AI-inflicted damages may allow well-financed big AI companies to monopolize the industry. They hypothesize would expose significant legal liability. Since small lack necessary resources pay for inflicted by their technology, could erect barriers entry these companies. Ultimately, argument continues, such give group of virtual monopoly Thus, ...

conclusions according to our results, these clinical measurements would provide valid information regarding the structure of the medial longitudinal arch. patients & methods clinical measurements of arch index (ai) and foot posture index (fpi) were performed on 40 subjects (18 boys and 22 girls), aged from 5 to 7 years referred to adabian rehabilitation center, kermanshah, iran. the study was c...

twelve (experiment i) and four (experiment ii) multiparous dairy cows seronegative to pestivirus were selected and randomly assigned to either a control group which did not become infected or a treatment group in which all cows became infected following intranasal inoculation 9 days before ai. the experimental induction of infection was carried out with 2 ml of non-cytopathic pestivirus (bvd vi...

Lighting design is an important topic of 3D scene design. There are many functions that lighting assumes in game environments, including directing attention, visibility, evoking emotions, setting atmosphere, and providing depth. Due to the unpredictability of interactive environments, current lighting design models do not adequately adapt the lighting to serve these aesthetic and communicative ...

Résumé. Les SVM bi-classes, introduites en bioinformatique à la fin des années 90, font aujourd’hui référence pour de nombreux problèmes de traitement de séquences biologiques. Les SVM multi-classes, de conception plus récente, sont progressivement appliquées à ces problèmes, singulièrement en biologie structurale prédictive. Dans cet article, nous proposons une étude comparée des performances ...

Résumé. Les modèles multidimensionnels ont une structure statique où les membres des dimensions sont calculés d’une manière unique. Cependant les données (particulièrement les données multimédias) sont souvent caractérisées par des descripteurs pouvant être obtenus par divers modes de calcul que nous définissons comme des "versions fonctionnelles" de descripteurs. Nous proposons un modèle multi...
