Ectoparasites, such as cattle fever ticks, and the diseases they carry pose a risk to the global cattle population in reduced productivity and in livability.Tick infestations carry significant economic implications through losses in productivity, increased morbidity, and control costs.Cattle fever ticks were eradicated from the United States throug
Quality-related fault diagnosis based on -nearest neighbor rule for non-linear industrial processes
The fault diagnosis approaches based on k -nearest neighbor rule have been widely researched for industrial processes and achieve excellent performance.However, for quality-related fault diagnosis, the approaches using k -nearest neighbor rule have been still not sufficiently studied.To tackle this problem, in this article, we propose a novel quali
The Effect of Sand and Dust Storms (SDSs) and Rain on the Performance of Cellular Networks in the Millimeter Wave Band
Future cellular systems are expected to use millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) frequency bands in addition to the existing microwave bands under 6 GHz.Severe weather conditions, including sand and dust storms (SDSs) and heavy rainfalls, challenge reliable communications over wireless links at those higher frequencies.In such conditions, besides frequency-de
Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties of Selected Phytogenics for Sustainable Poultry Production
The use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) in poultry production not only promotes the emergence of pathogenic multi-drug resistant bacteria, but it also compromises product quality, threatens animal and human health, and pollutes the environment.However, the complete withdrawal of AGP without alternatives could result in uncontrollable disease o
