Abstract While there is a growing effort towards AI for Sustainability (e.g. the sustainable development goals) it time to move beyond that and address sustainability of developing using systems. In this paper I propose definition Sustainable AI; movement foster change in entire lifecycle products (i.e. idea generation, training, re-tuning, implementation, governance) greater ecological integri...

A field experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of varying nitrogen (N) supply andirrigation methods on the root growth and distribution of maize (Zea mays L.) in Wuwei,northwest China in 2011 and 2012. The irrigation treatments included alternate furrow irrigation(AI), fixed furrow irrigation (FI) and conventional furrow irrigation (CI). The N supply treatmentsincluded alternate ...

toxicity of spinosad was primarily evaluated with three bioassay methods: feeding, spraying (residual exposure) and combination with larval medium against one susceptible and one field population. feeding method was selected as efficient method for survey of susceptibility or resistance of seven field populations. in feeding bioassay method, spinosad ld50 of susceptible strain at 24h and 72h we...

The paper contributes to the development of the theory of AI-Completeness by formalizing the notion of AIComplete and AI-Hard problems. The intended goal is to provide a classification of problems in the field of General Artificial Intelligence. We prove Turing Test to be an instance of an AI-Complete problem and further show numerous AI problems to be AI-Complete or AI-Hard via polynomial time...

avian influenza (ai) is a viral respiratory disease of domestic and wild birds. in the diagnostic laboratory, it is essential to have methods for rapid detection of avian respiratory viruses. cloacal swabs collected from chickens experimentally infected with h9 subtype ai virus, used in a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) assay for detection of ai. in infected animals, ai...

In the present study, changes of values of serum 17ß-estradiol (E2), Asparate amino teransferase (AST), Alanine amino transferase (ALT) and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) following intraperitoneal (i.p) injection with the aromatase inhibitor (AI) letrozole were investigated in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Forty- eight apparently healthy rainbow trout (mean weight of 845 g) divided...

The present study aimed to determine the effect of administrating prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and GnRH at the time of artificial insemination (AI) on the pregnancy per artificial insemination (P/AI) and the pregnancy survival rate of dairy cows. A number of 830 lactating Holstein cows were randomly divided into four groups. Cows in group 1 (n=200) treated with 150 µg d-cloprostenol. In group 2 (n...

conclusions in this study we showed that eft, measured by echocardiography is higher in subjects with ai when compared to healthy controls. epicardial fat thickness had the best independent correlation with ai in multiple logistic regression analysis. incidentaloma is also associated with increased left ventricular mass index and cimt. adrenal incidentaloma patients may show early cardiac chang...
