description: Voice-cloning (VC) systems have seen an exceptional increase in the realism of synthesized speech in recent years. The high quality of synthesized speech and the availability of low-cost VC services have given rise to many potential abuses of this technology. Several detection methodologies have been proposed over the years that can detect voice spoofs with reasonably good accuracy. However, these methodologies are mostly evaluated on clean audio databases, such as ASVSpoof 2019. This paper evaluates SOTA Audio Spoof Detection approaches in the presence of laundering attacks. In that regard, a new laundering attack database, called the ASVSpoof Laundering Database, is created. This database is based on the ASVSpoof 2019 (LA) eval database comprising a total of 1388.22 hours of audio recordings. Seven SOTA audio spoof detection approaches are evaluated on this laundered database. The results indicate that SOTA systems perform poorly in the presence of aggressive laundering attacks, especially reverberation and additive noise attacks. This suggests the need for robust audio spoof detection.

Facilitating primary care healthcare professionals to proactively manage oropharyngeal dysphagia in older adults: Co-design of a theory and evidence-based behaviour change intervention
Creators: name: H. Smith, Caroline
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2025

description: 30% of older adults living in their own homes experience swallowing difficulties known as oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD), but this is largely undiagnosed until they are hospitalised. This PhD aimed to co-design a behaviour change intervention to support primary care healthcare professionals to proactively manage OD in older adults living in their own homes.MethodsUnderpinned by behaviour change theory and a co-design approach, the PhD comprised three empirical studies: 1) a realist review of current OD interventions, 2) focus groups with primary care healthcare professionals to identify and explore the barriers and enablers to proactively managing OD and 3) workshops with key stakeholders to co-design the intervention.ResultsPrimary care healthcare professionals may be facilitated to proactively manage OD through: (1) OD education and training, (2) decision making support, (3) incorporating OD identification into existing workflow, (4) increasing awareness of older adults and carers expectations to manage OD, (5) raising awareness of OD’s adverse outcomes, (6) changing perceptions that OD is a red flag for cancer, (7) practical support from a colleague and (8) incentives.Workshop participants co-designed the intervention to comprise; an e-learning training module, video case studies, a resource on OD versus oesophageal dysphagia, OD questions integrated into clinical systems, a directory of OD specialists’ contacts, an OD advice leaflet, a pop-up in the clinical system and a national OD dashboard. These components were grouped into three phases; 1) Before the consultation- education and training, 2) During the consultation- clinical decision support and, 3) After the consultation- feedback on practice.ConclusionThe PhD co-designed a behaviour change intervention to facilitate primary care healthcare professionals to undertake proactive OD management. The next step would be to co-produce and test the intervention to determine its feasibility and, subsequently, its efficacy to change healthcare professionals’ behaviour.

description: Current data compression methods, such as sparsification in Federated Averaging (FedAvg), effectively enhance the communication efficiency of Federated Learning (FL). However, these methods encounter challenges such as the straggler problem and diminished model performance due to heterogeneous bandwidth and non-IID (Independently and Identically Distributed) data. To address these issues, we introduce a bandwidth-aware compression framework for FL, aimed at improving communication efficiency while mitigating the problems associated with non-IID data. First, our strategy dynamically adjusts compression ratios according to bandwidth, enabling clients to upload their models at a close pace, thus exploiting the otherwise wasted time to transmit more data. Second, we identify the non-overlapped pattern of retained parameters after compression, which results in diminished client update signals due to uniformly averaged weights. Based on this finding, we propose a parameter mask to adjust the client-averaging coefficients at the parameter level, thereby more closely approximating the original updates, and improving the training convergence under heterogeneous environments. Our evaluations reveal that our method significantly boosts model accuracy, with a maximum improvement of 13% over the uncompressed FedAvg. Moreover, it achieves a $3.37\times$ speedup in reaching the target accuracy compared to FedAvg with a Top-K compressor, demonstrating its effectiveness in accelerating convergence with compression. The integration of common compression techniques into our framework further establishes its potential as a versatile foundation for future cross-device, communication-efficient FL research, addressing critical challenges in FL and advancing the field of distributed machine learning.
Aus dem «Dorfe» in den «Stürmischen Morgen». Zu zwei Liedern aus Wilhelm Müllers und Franz Schuberts «Die Winterreise»
Creators: name: Hillesheim, Jürgen
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: Die Winterreise, written by the romantic author Wilhelm Müller and set to music by Franz Schubert, is one of the most important poem cycles of German tradition. Since the second half of the 20th century these texts have been taken out of their context and more and more politically interpreted, that is ideologically instrumentalized. That this leads to misinter­pretations is demonstrated with reference to the poems Im Dorfe and Der stürmische Morgen. Here we have to do, not with political beacons, but with the aesthetic realization of a pes­simism that influenced significantly the philosophy and literature of the early 19th century.

Sind es doch diese Metainformationen, die über die vielfältigen Forschungsaktivitäten (wie Projekte, Publikationen, Forschungsdaten und Personen) Auskunft geben können und im Idealfall über übergreifende, vernetzte Systeme auffindbar sind.Leider sieht die Realität im Forschungsalltag anders aus: Bibliometrische Datenbanken sind selten vorhanden, das Personal ist nicht ausreichend geschult, Daten werden unsystematisch erhoben, sind kaum vernetzt und nicht aktuell. Was also tun? Einfach eine teure kommerzielle Lösung einkaufen, die aber dem Open Science-Gedanken widerspricht? Oder in der eigenen Institution beginnen, in konkreten Schritten und gemeinsam mit der Wissenschaftscommunity am Ziel offener Forschungsinformationen und -infrastrukturen zu arbeiten?Die Veranstaltung zielt darauf ab, Erfahrungen im Umgang mit Forschungsinformationen auszutauschen, um ins Handeln zu kommen. Als Ausgangspunkt geben wir einen Einblick in die Barcelona Declaration und stellen exemplarische Anwendungsfälle aus der Leibniz-Gemeinschaft und der Universität Münster vor.
Gödelmann’s Faustus (1591). Concerning the Fluidity of the Early Transmission of the Adventures of Faustus in Germany
Creators: name: McDonald, William C.
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: This article is the first to treat systematically the brief, contemporary references to the Fauststoff in the treatise De magis, veneficis et lamiis (1591) by Johann Georg Gödelmann, best known as a witchcraft theorist. He treats Johann Faustus as a “praedestigiator”, a black magician and trickster who belongs in the company of Simon Magus. Comparing Gödel­mann’s versions of the adventures of Faustus with those in the chapbook, Historia von D. Johann Fausten (1587), published in the same city (Frankfurt am Main), one sees that these adventures were in flux in the late sixteenth century.

description: Reinforcement Learning (RL) training is predominantly conducted in cost-effective and controlled simulation environments. However, the transfer of these trained models to real-world tasks often presents unavoidable challenges. This research explores the direct training of RL algorithms in controlled yet realistic real-world settings for the execution of dexterous manipulation. The benchmarking results of three RL algorithms trained on intricate in-hand manipulation tasks within practical real-world contexts are presented. Our study not only demonstrates the practicality of RL training in authentic real-world scenarios, facilitating direct real-world applications, but also provides insights into the associated challenges and considerations. Additionally, our experiences with the employed experimental methods are shared, with the aim of empowering and engaging fellow researchers and practitioners in this dynamic field of robotics.
Der Dichter als Idiot – Zur Poetik des Außenseiters in Botho Strauß’ «Lichter des Toren»
Creators: name: Winkler, Bernhard
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: Being an idiot isn’t that bad. Although persons who are called idiots live a life on the margins of society, they possess a special gift of insight and sensitivity, as well as a knowledge of hidden truths and experiences. Strauß revalues the figure of the idiot by approximating it to that of the poet. Both of them use alternative cognitive processes, a vicinity to transcen­dence and secret lore which is inherent to the solitude they have to bear for their alternative existence. In Lichter des Toren Strauß carries to extremes his thoughts on the figure of the idiot, exposes the roots of the word and introduces a personal poetics of the idiot.

description: The atomic play Atom vor Christus (1952) by the Viennese playwright Kurt Becsi (1920-1988) is one of the very numerous works on the subject of the nuclear threat that appeared in German-speaking countries in the 1950s and ’60s. This article investigates the complex Christian religious discourse that embeds the dramatization of atomic issues and apocalyp­tic ideas of the End in Becsi’s play. Special focus is given to such aspects as the struggle between generations and, in particular, the conflict between the unscrupulous scientist (and his hubris) and the figure of the repentant bomber pilot that becomes a monk (Science versus love, logic versus Christian grace).

Year: 2025

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Diskussion um die Anzahl der deutschen Kinofilme. Es wird erkannt, dass das Thema zwar stattfindet in der öffentlichen Branchendiskussion, es aber wenig Forschung zu der Fragestellung gibt. Im ersten Teil der Masterarbeit wird das Kinojahr 2023 analysiert und anschließend die Entwicklung der Ticket- und Umsatzzahlen seit 2015 betrachtet. Ebenso wird die Entwicklung der Neustarts, der Kinos und Leinwände und der Startkopien behandelt, bevor die Besuchsverteilung der Filmcharts analysiert wird. Anschließend wird der aktuelle Stand der Debatte nachgezeichnet. Während ökonomische oder kulturelle Argumente aufgeführt werden, die für oder gegen eine Reduktion der Anzahl der Filme sprechen, taucht häufig die Forderung auf, dass Qualität und Sichtbarkeit der Filme verbessert werden müssten. Es wird deutlich, dass verschiedene Marktteilnehmer:innen unterschiedliche Interessen verfolgen. In dieser Masterarbeit wird versucht, die verschiedenen Perspektiven der Marktteilnehmenden zusammenzutragen. Um diese zu erfassen, werden qualitative Interviews mit Expert:innen geführt, die aus den unterschiedlichen Stationen entlang der Wertschöpfungskette eines Kinofilms entstammen. Bewertet wird die Anzahl der Kinofilme von den Befragten anhand 5 verschiedener Dimensionen: ökonomisch, kulturell, politisch, sozial und ökologisch. Die Ergebnisse werden anschließend analysiert und verglichen, dabei werden unterschiedliche Interessen deutlich. Auch in den Interviews wird ein Fokus auf Qualität und Sichtbarkeit der Filme gelegt. Darüber hinaus bewerten die Interviewten die Anzahl der Filme unterschiedlich, bieten aber Lösungsvorschläge für die jeweils genannten Probleme an. Für die kommenden Jahre prognostizieren die meisten einen Rückgang der Zahl der Filme.
Wissensbearbeitung im Produktionsprozess des zeitgenössischen Dokumentartheaters

description: Documentary theatre aims to portray truth or authenticity. It tries to produce knowledge, though it is rather difficult to assert the authenticity of this knowledge because the sources imply a great deal of subjectivity. It is a medium that asks questions about how to pass on knowledge not only through the body and the voice, but also through the meeting of mul­tiple people and the exchange between the stage and the audience. This study will analyse, through several contemporary documentary plays, how knowledge, and of what kind, can be produced on stage and if there is a particular aesthetics for this production.

«Wenn sich nach dem Werther die Leute totschießen, so ist das Buch gut; wenn sie auf andere schießen, besser». L’arte come pratica di costruzione del futuro in Ludwig Rubiner
Creators: name: Pirro, Maurizio
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: Both as essay writer and poet Ludwig Rubiner (1881-1920) focuses on art as a revolution­ary practice. He conceives critical understanding of reality as a first step in a radical change of social conditions, which can be seen as the result of an artist’s specific attitude in evoking new worlds. This implies that only a non-realistic art can be politically successful, because it refers to a future horizon without restricting itself to describing the political situation of the time. In this paper, I analyze Rubiner’s strongly utopic art concept involving some typical categories of expressionistic literature like “Geist”, “Gemeinschaft”, “Katastrophe”.

description: Abstract

Glamomastia, the abnormal enlargement of breast tissue due to hormonal imbalances, requires a multifaceted treatment approach. This paper introduces the GWENFOR Protocol, a comprehensive regimen combining hormonal regulation, liver protection, and the innovative integration of cannabidiol (CBD) to address both the primary condition and its associated side effects. The protocol includes two key medications, Refresol and Restfuler, which are designed to optimize hormonal balance, protect liver health, and enhance gastrointestinal comfort. This research paper provides a detailed chemical breakdown of the protocol’s components, explores their mechanisms of action, and evaluates the overall efficacy and safety of this approach.

description: Detecting and handling network partitions is a fundamental requirement of distributed systems. Although existing partition detection methods in arbitrary graphs tolerate unreliable networks, they either assume that all nodes are correct or that a limited number of nodes might crash. In particular, Byzantine behaviors are out of the scope of these algorithms despite Byzantine fault tolerance being an active research topic for important problems such as consensus. Moreover, Byzantinetolerant protocols, such as broadcast or consensus, always rely on the assumption of connected networks. This paper addresses the problem of detecting partition in Byzantine networks (without connectivity assumption). We present a novel algorithm, which we call NECTAR, that safely detects partitioned and possibly partitionable networks and prove its correctness. NECTAR allows all correct nodes to detect whether a network could suffer from Byzantine nodes. We evaluate NECTAR's performance and compare it to two existing baselines using up to 100 nodes running real code, on various realistic topologies. Our results confirm that NECTAR maintains a 100% accuracy while the accuracy of the various existing baselines decreases by at least 40% as soon as one participant is Byzantine. Although NECTAR's network cost increases with the number of nodes and decreases with the network's diameter, it does not go above around 500KB in the worst cases.

description: The singly charged $SU(2)_L$ singlet scalar is one of the very interesting new particles, as it can generate neutrino masses at loop level, produce contributions to various flavour observables. We study the possibility of detecting this kind of scalar predicted by the singly-charged scalar model at ILC via the lepton flavour violation (LFV) process $e^+e^-\rightarrow S^+S^-\rightarrow μe + {E\mkern-10.5 mu/}$. Considering the constraints on the free parameters, we obtain the expected sensitivities of the ILC with the center of mass energy $\sqrt{s}=1~\mathrm{TeV}$ and the integrated luminosity $\mathcal{L}=$ $1.5~\mathrm{ab}^{-1}$ to the parameter space of the singly-charged scalar model. The prospective excluded mass range at $95\%$ C.L. is $M_S \gtrsim 470~\mathrm{GeV}$, $410~\mathrm{GeV}$ for the branching ratio $\mathcal{B}_{μe}$ = $100\%$ , $50\%$, respectively, while the scalar with $M_S \gtrsim 300~\mathrm{GeV}$ is excluded at $95\%$ C.L. for $\mathcal{B}_{μe}$ = $30\%$.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of converting Viscum album bio-waste into more valuable antifungal agents for the wood industry. The study reports the activity against basidiomycete species, including brown and white wood-decaying fungi, as well as the phenolic composition of extracts from three mistletoe subspecies (album, austriacum, and abietis). The resistance of Scots pine sapwood treated with mistletoe extract against Coniophora puteana and Trametes versicolor was also evaluated. All tested extracts at a 100 mg mL−1 concentration caused a complete inhibition of all fungal species growth and were more inhibitory to brown-rot fungi than white-rot fungi. The phenolic profile of extracts depended on mistletoe subspecies and was dominated by phenolic acids. Treated wood showed lower mass loss caused by decay fungi compared to untreated wood. Samples treated with mistletoe extract in different concentrations were characterised by a reduction in the destructive effect of C. puteana in the range of 52-70% compared to untreated wood, and in the case of T. versicolor in the range of 45-85%. The research indicated the potential of using mistletoe extract as a sustainable source of antifungals that may improve the resistance of treated wood against C. puteana and T. versicolor.

description: As fruit prices increase by less than inflation and farm subsidies in England are being reduced, growers may need to adopt a new technology such as a Precision Variable Rate Spray (PVRS) system to increase their yield of top-quality fruit and reduce their input costs. Engineering and agronomist researchers are developing and attempting to commercialise a PVRS system for use in top fruit orchards in England. A PVRS system targets a variable level of chemical application within specific sections of fruit trees within an orchard and are yet to be adopted by the industry. Q-methodology explores the stakeholder perspectives of what factors lead to the adoption of a PVRS system in orchard growing. Adoption cost relative to farm size, the attitude of the farmer towards adoption of new technologies in general as well as the environment and being able to demonstrate that the technology works are shown to be some of the most significant factors promoting adoption.

description: Nanosatellites are proliferating as low-cost dedicated sensing systems with lean development cycles. Kyushu Institute of Technology and collaborators have launched a joint venture for a nanosatellite mission, VERTECS. The primary mission is to elucidate the formation history of stars by observing the optical-wavelength cosmic background radiation. The VERTECS satellite will be equipped with a small-aperture telescope and a high-precision attitude control system to capture the cosmic data for analysis on the ground. However, nanosatellites are limited by their onboard memory resources and downlink speed capabilities. Additionally, due to a limited number of ground stations, the satellite mission will face issues meeting the required data budget for mission success. To alleviate this issue, we propose an on-orbit system to autonomously classify and then compress desirable image data for data downlink prioritization and optimization. The system comprises a prototype Camera Controller Board (CCB) which carries a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 which is used for classification and compression. The system uses a lightweight Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to classify and determine the desirability of captured image data. The model is designed to be lean and robust to reduce the computational and memory load on the satellite. The model is trained and tested on a novel star field dataset consisting of data captured by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The dataset is meant to simulate the expected data produced by the 6U satellite. The compression step implements GZip, RICE or HCOMPRESS compression, which are standards for astronomical data. Preliminary testing on the proposed CNN model results in a classification accuracy of about 100\% on the star field dataset, with compression ratios of 3.99, 5.16 and 5.43 for GZip, RICE and HCOMPRESS that were achieved on tested FITS image data.

PBR will consist of an innovative hybrid focal surface featuring a Fluorescence Camera (FC, based on Multi-Anode Photomultiplier Tubes [MAPMTs], 1.05 $μ$s time resolution) and a Cherenkov Camera (based on SiPMs, 10 ns time resolution), both mounted on the same tiltable frame that can point from nadir up to 13$^\circ$ above the horizon. The FC's main scientific goal is to observe, for the first time, the fluorescence emission of Extensive Air Showers produced by Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays from sub-orbital altitudes. This measurement will validate the detection strategy for future space-based missions, such as POEMMA. As a secondary goal, the FC will perform a search for macroscopic dark matter through slowly evolving showers that will leave a signal similar to (but distinct from) a meteor. PBR targets a launch in 2027 as a payload of an ultra-long duration balloon flight with a duration of up to 100 days.

description: We utilized a sample from the Fermi-LAT 14-year Source Catalog by adjusting the flux detection threshold, enabling us to derive the intrinsic source count distribution $dN/dF_{25}$ of extragalactic blazars using nonparametric, unbinned methods developed by Efron and Petrosian and Lynden-Bell. Subsequently, we evaluated the contribution of blazars to the extragalactic gamma-ray background. Our findings are summarized as follows: (1) There is no significant correlation between flux and spectral index values among blazars and their subclasses FSRQs and BL Lacs. (2) The intrinsic differential distributions of flux values exhibit a broken-power-law form, with parameters that closely match previous findings. The intrinsic photon index distributions are well described by a Gaussian form for FSRQs and BL Lacs individually, while a dual-Gaussian model provides a more appropriate fit for blazars as a whole. (3) Blazars contribute 34.5\% to the extragalactic gamma-ray background and 16.8\% to the extragalactic diffuse gamma-ray background. When examined separately, FSRQs and BL Lacs contribute 19.6\% and 13\% to the extragalactic gamma-ray background, respectively.

description: The VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenges (VoxSRC) were a series of challenges and workshops that ran annually from 2019 to 2023. The challenges primarily evaluated the tasks of speaker recognition and diarisation under various settings including: closed and open training data; as well as supervised, self-supervised, and semi-supervised training for domain adaptation. The challenges also provided publicly available training and evaluation datasets for each task and setting, with new test sets released each year. In this paper, we provide a review of these challenges that covers: what they explored; the methods developed by the challenge participants and how these evolved; and also the current state of the field for speaker verification and diarisation. We chart the progress in performance over the five installments of the challenge on a common evaluation dataset and provide a detailed analysis of how each year's special focus affected participants' performance. This paper is aimed both at researchers who want an overview of the speaker recognition and diarisation field, and also at challenge organisers who want to benefit from the successes and avoid the mistakes of the VoxSRC challenges. We end with a discussion of the current strengths of the field and open challenges. Project page : https://mm.kaist.ac.kr/datasets/voxceleb/voxsrc/workshop.html

description: The evolution and diversity of a language is evident from it's various dialects. If the various dialects are not addressed in technological advancements like automatic speech recognition and speech synthesis, there is a chance that these dialects may disappear. Speech technology plays a role in preserving various dialects of a language from going extinct. In order to build a full fledged automatic speech recognition system that addresses various dialects, an Automatic Dialect Identification (ADI) system acting as the front end is required. This is similar to how language identification systems act as front ends to automatic speech recognition systems that handle multiple languages. The current work proposes a way to identify two popular and broadly classified Tamil dialects, namely literary and colloquial Tamil. Acoustical characteristics rather than phonetics and phonotactics are used, alleviating the requirement of language-dependant linguistic tools. Hence one major advantage of the proposed method is that it does not require an annotated corpus, hence it can be easily adapted to other languages. Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) features are used to perform the classification task. The experiments yielded an error rate of 12%. Vowel nasalization, as being the reason for this good performance, is discussed. The number of mixture models for the GMM is varied and the performance is analysed.

description: Datasets are essential for any machine learning task. Automatic Music Transcription (AMT) is one such task, where considerable amount of data is required depending on the way the solution is achieved. Considering the fact that a music dataset, complete with audio and its time-aligned transcriptions would require the effort of people with musical experience, it could be stated that the task becomes even more challenging. Musical experience is required in playing the musical instrument(s), and in annotating and verifying the transcriptions. We propose a method that would help in streamlining this process, making the task of obtaining a dataset from a particular instrument easy and efficient. We use predefined guitar exercises and hidden Markov model(HMM) based forced viterbi alignment to accomplish this. The guitar exercises are designed to be simple. Since the note sequence are already defined, HMM based forced viterbi alignment provides time-aligned transcriptions of these audio files. The onsets of the transcriptions are manually verified and the labels are accurate up to 10ms, averaging at 5ms. The contributions of the proposed work is two fold, i) a well streamlined and efficient method for generating datasets for any instrument, especially monophonic and, ii) an acoustic plectrum guitar dataset containing wave files and transcriptions in the form of label files. This method will aid as a preliminary step towards building concrete datasets for building AMT systems for different instruments.

Thermodynamics of mixtures containing a very strongly polar compound. 11. 1-Alkanol + alkanenitrile systems

description: 1-Alkanol + alkanenitrile systems have been studied by means of the DISQUAC, ERAS and UNIFAC (Dortmund) models. DISQUAC and ERAS parameters for the alkanol/nitrile interactions are reported. DISQUAC describes a whole set of thermodynamic properties: phase equilibria, vapour-liquid (VLE), liquid-liquid (LLE) and solid-liquid (SLE) equilibria, molar excess functions, Gibbs energies, $G_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, and enthalpies, $H_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, and partial excess molar enthalpies at infinite dilution, $H_{\text{mi}}^{\text{E,}\infty }$ using the same set of interaction parameters for each solution. The dependence on the molecular structure of the interaction parameters is similar to that observed in other previous applications to mixtures formed by 1-alkanols and a strongly polar compound, in such way that the quasichemical interchange coefficients can be kept constant from 1-propanol. However, methanol and ethanol solutions behave differently. From the analysis of experimental data for $H_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, $TS_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}(=H_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}-G_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}})$, and molar excess volumes, $V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, it is concluded that the studied systems are characterized by dipolar interactions and strong structural effects. The former are more relevant in acetonitrile solutions. Association effects are more important in butanenitrile mixtures. DISQUAC improves $H_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$ results from the ERAS model. ERAS results on $H_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$ for systems containing acetonitrile are also improved by UNIFAC. This remarks the importance of dipolar interactions in the investigated mixtures. ERAS describes the variation of $V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$(${{x}_{1}}$=0.5) with the 1-alkanol size for mixtures with a given nitrile, but the concentration dependence of this excess function is poorly represented.

description: Sheep have been a fundamental part of human civilization since their domestication approximately 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent. Selective breeding has significantly enhanced their productivity, leading to improved milk yield, wool quality, and meat production. Among sheep breeds, Lacaune and Merino are widely recognized for their superior milk and wool traits, respectively. This study evaluates the reproductive performance of Lacaune × Hungarian Merino crossbred ewes under semi-intensive conditions in Aksaray, Türkiye. A total of 72 Hungarian Merino ewes were mated with four Lacaune rams, and their reproductive performance was analyzed. In this study, the conception rate, birth rate, single birth rate, twin birth rate, triplet birth rate, fecundity, and litter size were recorded as 91.47%, 98.48%, 57.57%, 39.39%, 3.04%, 1.33, and 1.45, respectively. Additionally, the weaned lamb rate and lamb survival were calculated as 1.25 and 93%, respectively. The findings of this study align with previous research on Lacaune, Merino, and their crossbreeds, demonstrating that crossbreeding can enhance reproductive traits even in challenging environmental conditions. The results suggest that LacauneXHungarian Merino crossbreeding could be an effective approach to sustain high litter size and lamb survival rates in Türkiye. In conclusion, crossbreeding studies need to be expanded to include Türkiye's native sheep breeds with a conscious breeding approach under controlled management conditions to improve and sustain animal production
