Published: April 2023

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of drinking ionized water on histological changes, bacteria count, and some hematological parameters of Japanese quail. A total of 200-42-day-old Japanese quails were divided into five treatments. The birds of each treatment were divided into four replicates. The pH level of drinking water of the first treatment was 7, whereas the pH levels of drinking water of other treatments were 8, 9, 6, and 5 respectively. The results showed that villi height, crypt depth, and mucous layer thickness of the duodenum were increased (P<0.05) in T4 and T5. The normal histological structure was observed in the microscopic section of the liver of the treated group. The pH 7 of drinking water led to the depletion of the follicles and an increase in the interfollicular space of birds (Fig4). In addition, there was hemorrhage among the bursal follicles in the bursa of birds that received pH8 drinking water (Fig5). The pH5 of drinking water showed mild lymphoid depletion in the section of the bird bursa (Fig6). Also, the pH9 of drinking water showed large vacuoles in the epithelial layer which support the lymphoid follicles in the section of the bursa (Fig 7). There were thickening and degeneration changes in the capsule with lymphocyte aggregation in birds that received pH9 of drinking water (Fig8). The levels of pH of drinking water affect WBC, Hb, and PCV. Drinking acidic ionized water increased the number of Lactobacilli bacteria and decreased the number of Coliform bacteria. Conclusion: The pH 8 and 5 of drinking water had a positive role in the histological changes, bacterial count, and some hematological parameters of Japanese quail.

Fish were experimentally challenged with P. aeruginosa (LD50= 2±0.2×109 CFU/ml), in untreated water or water treated with addition of kaolin at levels of 4, 6 and 8g/l (G1, G2 and G3 respectively). Over the 5‐day course of kaolin treatment led to significantly (P ≤ 0.05) improved of survival (100%) in treated groups (G2 and G3) as compared to untreated fish (infected group; 75% survival). Considerable changes were observed in blood parameters, leucocyte count recorded significant increase (P≤0.05) in G2 and G3 relative to C- and C+ groups. Erythrocyte count, Hb content and HT(%) reported significant decrease (P≤0.05) in all treated groups (G1, G2 and G3) related to C- group. Globulin level registered significantly increased (P≤0.05) in G2 and G3 than C+ group.  The current study strongly recommends that treatment of common carp infected with kaolin at 6 and 8g/l improves survival, hematological and biochemical profile, against P. aeruginosa. Future complete molecular studies are required before application of kaolin as a treatment in aquaculture.

The study aimed to estimate the cost efficiency and to know the most important social and economic factors affecting the production of broiler chickens in the Baghdad governorate. Using the random parametric analysis (SFA) based on the greatest possibility (ML) method. To determine the factors affecting the cost inefficiency function. The study relied on primary data from its field sources according to a questionnaire prepared for this purpose in Baghdad Governorate for one production year (2022). Data were collected randomly from (64) projects out of a total of (546) projects, with a rate of (11.72%). The results indicated that all the explanatory variables confirmed a prior prediction of the economic theory, as all the coefficients estimated for the cost of fodder, chicks, medicines, vaccines, and chicken meat production gave positive parameters indicating agreement with the assumption that the cost function increases directly with the input prices. The average cost of broiler breeding projects in the sample area was estimated at 1.04, which is about 4% more than the minimum cost set by the limits. Breeders can achieve an additional profit of up to 12.2% if the optimum efficiency is reached, so breeders must develop their agricultural skills in managing the use of inputs to achieve the lowest possible cost efficiency.

Published: April 2023

There is growing interest in the kinematic analysis of human functional upper extremity movement (FUEM) for applications such as health monitoring and rehabilitation. Deconstructing functional movements into activities, actions, and primitives is a necessary procedure for many of these kinematic analyses. Advances in machine learning have led to progress in human activity and action recognition. However, their utility for analyzing the FUEM primitives of reaching and targeting during reach-to-grasp and reach-to-point tasks remains limited. Domain experts use a variety of methods for segmenting the reaching and targeting motion primitives, such as kinematic thresholds, with no consensus on what methods are best to use. Additionally, current studies are small enough that segmentation results can be manually inspected for correctness. As interest in FUEM kinematic analysis expands, such as in the clinic, the amount of data needing segmentation will likely exceed the capacity of existing segmentation workflows used in research laboratories, requiring new methods and workflows for making segmentation less cumbersome. This paper investigates a variety of reaching and targeting motion primitive segmentation methods in two different domains and how to evaluate these methods. This work finds that most of the segmentation methods evaluated perform reasonably well given current limitations in our ability to evaluate segmentation results. Furthermore, we propose a method to automatically identify potentially incorrect segmentation results for further review by the human evaluator.

Authors: Bakirtzis Stefanos , Fiore Marco , Wassell Ian , Zhang Jie
Published: April 2023

Propelled by rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI), the design and operation of 5G and beyond networks are anticipated to be radically different from those of legacy communication systems. Indeed, AI can be exploited to automate and optimize various functionalities that are essential for the wireless ecosystem, such as resource allocation, channel modeling, or network planning. This article explores how data-driven propagation models can be leveraged for the automated and expedient deployment of small cells in indoor environments. In particular, a generalizable data-driven propagation model is entwined with AI-based optimizers aiming at determining the optimal network topology with respect to some target key performance indicators. The data-driven model combines the accuracy of a high-performance propagation solver with the computational efficiency of deep neural networks, inferring the signal level spatial distribution based on physics-based information of the indoor geometry. The capability of the data-driven model to conduct multiple simulations within a few seconds is vital for the optimization procedure, enabling accurate network planning that would be extremely expensive to produce with a conventional indoor propagation tool, especially for ultra-dense networks where macro-base stations coexist with numerous small cells.

Adaptive Exponential Weight Discretization for Compact and energy-efficient CNN Inference
Authors: A. Al-Hamid Ali
Published: April 2023

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) compression and optimization techniques for the inference process attract attention due to CNN’s broad range of applications in many fields. Implementing CNNs for embedded deceives, however, faces great challenges due to the devices’ limited hardware resources. Recently, real-time  pplications based on complex CNNs require optimization and compression techniques to make CNNs run faster in compact and energyefficient embedded devices. CNN  odel optimization and compression include pruning and weight quantization. Conventional pruning techniques often suffer from poor compression ratio, so they still have a large number of float point weights leading to embedded devices with excessive hardware cost or slow inference speed. Conventional quantization techniques often result in an unacceptable loss in inference accuracy. To overcome the above problems, the proposed method introduces an adaptive exponential weight discretization process, which selects discretization parameters based on the sensitivity and the number of the weights in each layer. Unlike many previous compression methods, the proposed method does not require any retraining process nor any fine-tuning methods. The proposed weight discretization has been evaluated using the VGG16 CNN model with the ImageNet dataset for classification. The evaluation demonstrated that it saves 48 % of computation for fully connected layers and it reduces the overall weight memory size from 528 MB to 44.24 MB – a reduction of 11.9 times. We also demonstrate that the optimized CNN loses negligible loss – a loss of only  .43% in the top-5 accuracy and a loss of only 1.44% in the top-1 accuracy.
A Novel Family of Online Censoring Based Complex-Valued Least Mean Kurtosis Algorithms
Authors: Mengüç Engin , Çolak Güvenç Buket
Published: April 2023

In this paper, we propose a novel family of on?line censoring (OC) based complex-valued least mean kurtosis (CLMK) algorithms by inspiring the advantages of the online censoring strategy and kurtosis based cost function. We first develop important members of this family of algorithms such as OC based CLMK (OC-CLMK) and augmented CLMK (OC-ACLMK). These algorithms censor less informative complex-valued data streams in an online manner and keep only the most informative ones for performing their weight vector updates. Thus, they reduce the costs of data processing without markedly affecting performance accuracy. However, they do not take into account the possible outliers that disturb their performances considerably. Therefore, we also develop robust members such as robust OC-CLMK (ROC-CLMK) and OC-ACLMK (ROC?CLMK) algorithms, which censor the possible outliers as well as less informative complex-valued data streams. The convergence analyses of the proposed algorithms in the sense of Lyapunov are also presented to derive the bounds of their step sizes in a compact form. The simulation results on large-scale system identification and regression scenarios affirm the mentioned attractive features of the proposed algorithms. This study also shows that the noteworthy properties of the proposed algorithms will provide important contributions to the processing of complex-valued big data streams.

Published: April 2023

We have developed a comprehensive modeling framework to explain the switching characteristics of BEOL-compatible FeFET with an amorphous IGZO channel. Our TCAD-based modeling framework, calibrated against measurement data, jointly incorporates a) the distributed channel, b) a physics- based nucleation-limited switching dynamics model for multi- domain ferroelectric polarization (PFE) and c) the domain-domain interaction. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a physics-based comprehensive model of BEOL-compatible FeFET. Our model reproduces and explains the experimentally- observed abrupt current jumps in the reverse and forward DC sweeps. Further, our model is capable of processing arbitrary input waveforms such as quasi-DC and different kinds of pulse trains used in neuromorphic applications. This comprehensive modeling framework would enable researchers to explore the BEOL FeFET applications and guide device optimization and development.
Mathematical Modelling of the Electromagnetic Halbach Array for Wireless Power Transfer
Authors: Gogo Tamuno-omie , Zhu Dibin
Published: April 2023

An inductive Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) system delivers energy wirelessly from a transmitter (Tx) to a receiver (Rx). Energy transfer efficiency largely depends on coil properties, alignment, and space (air gap) between the coils. The Electromagnetic Halbach Array WPT (EHA-WPT) system has a transmitter consisting of five coils and can produce an alternating single-sided electromagnetic field without using any ferrite backing. It has been proven to be able to extend the power transfer distance between the transmitter and the receiver. This work proposes a mathematical model of the EHA. Biot-Savart’s law of magnetic field in a current-carrying square loop is used to establish the model. The model is validated through Finite Element Model (FEM) simulations with small errors. To verify the analytical and simulation results, an EHA was fabricated, and experimental verification was carried out. The proposed model offers a new approach to optimizing electromagnetic Halbach arrays with accuracy, speed, and easy interaction without the need for extra resources.

TSN-based Industrial Network Performance Analysis
Authors: Seliem Mohamed , Zahran Ahmed , Pesch Dirk
Published: April 2023

Industrial automation applications enforce strict requirements on the automation network, such as strict timing, upper bounded latency, low jitter, and essentially zero loss. Time sensitive networking (TSN) is an enabling technology for future automation networks. While most studies on TSN for industrial applications have focused on simple approaches to performance evaluation, we provide a comprehensive simulation based analysis for a typical industrial use case. We specify the network traffic produced by automation applications and associated TSN traffic classes. We model different network configurations such as priority queuing, time aware shaping, and credit based shaping to study how they meet the delay constraints of the different traffic classes. To evaluate the performance of our TSN based industrial network, we build and configured a network model and a set of application traffic models to generate realistic network traffic together with defined network design goals in OMNET++. Our simulation results show that a TSN based network meets all application requirements.
