Abstract Background GABAergic inhibition and effects of intracellular chloride ions on calcium channel activity have been proposed to regulate neurotransmission from photoreceptors.To assess the impact of these and other chloride-dependent mechanisms on release from cones, the chloride equilibrium potential (ECl) was determined in red-sensitive, la
Comparative analysis of data driven rainfall-runoff models in the Kolar river basin
To effectively tackle the challenges posed by climate change, it is crucial to enhance the accuracy of rainfall-runoff models to ensure reliability amidst changing climatic conditions.Neural networks, renowned for their ability to capture complex patterns and relationships within uncertain input and output data, offer valuable tools in this pursuit
Freedom to Move: Free Lactation Pens Improve Sow Welfare
Farrowing crates present a major animal welfare problem.This study investigated the effects of temporary confinement at farrowing on sow welfare and aimed to determine whether this type of system could improve sow welfare through increased freedom of movement.Sows were housed in one Gonk of two farrowing accommodation treatments: conventional farro
Internal Decoupling in Nonlinear Process Control
A simple method has been investigated for the total or partial removal of the effect of non-linear process phenomena in multi-variable feedback control systems.The method is Fruit Spread based upon computing the control variables which will drive the process at desired rates.It is shown that the effect of model errors in the linearization All round
Gut-associated microbes are present and active in the pig nasal cavity
Abstract The nasal microbiota is a key contributor to animal health, and characterizing the nasal microbiota composition is an important step towards elucidating the role of its different members.Efforts to characterize the nasal microbiota composition of domestic pigs and other farm animals frequently report the presence of bacteria that are typic
