Forecasting springtime rainfall in southeastern Australia using empirical orthogonal functions and neural networks by S. Marčelja

“…In addition to standard ocean climate indicators such as El Niño or the Indian Ocean Dipole, other typical patterns of variation are captured in terms of the temperatures of selected ocean areas. When characteristic patterns of correlation are discovered, they are included in the predictor selection in the form of expansion in terms of the empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs). …”

“…IntroductionNecrotic enteritis (NE), caused by Clostridium perfringens, has seen a surge in chicken populations recently due to the ban on antibiotic growth promoters in feed.MethodsIn this research, screening and identification of probiotics with strong antagonistic ability against C. perfringens from 34 wild bird fecal isolates, followed by analysis of probiotic characteristics and carbon source metabolic activity. Strains exhibiting favorable antagonistic activity against C. perfringens were subsequently employed in vivo study to evaluate their protective efficacy against C. perfringens challenge in locally-sourced broilers.ResultsThe results showed that Enterococcus faecalis strains YL-EF25 and YL-EF32 were selected based on their ability to inhibit the growth and biofilm formation of C. perfringens. …”
