Molecular-assisted analysis of indigenous chicken semen to increase rooster fertility in tropics by Jacob Alhassan Hamidu, Richard Tsekumah, Amina Iddrisu, Stepehn Gariba, Mitchell Agyei Opoku, Emmanuel Kafari, Kofi Appenteng, Patrick Nana Kyere

“…Ten brown normal feathered (NF) birds and 10 brown naked neck (NN) birds selected over six generations were investigated for semen volume, concentration, viscosity, sperm viability, morphology, motility, and sperm DNA fragmentation to predict fertility. The results showed that the mean semen volume of NF males (0.399 ml) was higher compared to NN males (0.237 ml.) …”

Neural Network-Based Lower Limb Prostheses Control Using Super Twisting Sliding Mode Control by Adisu Tadese Demora, Chala Merga Abdissa

“…The triggering signal is extracted from the user’s muscles and intense signal preprocessing that includes filtering, rectification, linearization, and Mean Average Value (MAV) feature extraction. The ANN predicts joint angles for walking, upstairs, and downstairs using the processed sEMG signals of the muscles and measured and filtered target joint angles. …”

AI in Marketing Management: Executive Perspectives from Companies

“…Relative advantage and perceived value also influence adoption intentions, albeit to a lesser degree, indicating the perceived benefits and tangible outcomes of AI in improving processes such as segmentation, automation, and predictive analytics. Key differences arise between companies of varying revenue sizes: smaller firms exhibit greater aversion to AI, whereas larger organisations focus on maximizing their strategic benefits to drive innovation. …”

Hearing in categories and speech perception at the "cocktail party". by Gavin M Bidelman, Fallon Bernard, Kimberly Skubic

“…., whether responses were binary or continuous judgments), we then show the degree of release from masking experienced at the cocktail party is predicted by their degree of categoricity in phoneme labeling and not high-frequency audiometric thresholds; more discrete listeners make less effective use of time-reversal and show less release from masking than their gradient responding peers. …”

Evolutionary Explanations of the “Actuarial Senescence in the Wild” and of the “State of Senility” by Giacinto Libertini

“…Only the theory attributing an adaptive value to IMICAW allows an evolutionary explanation for it and for the aforesaid inverse correlation, while the other three theories (“mutation accumulation”, “antagonistic pleiotropy”, and “disposable soma” th.) even predict a positive correlation.Afterwards, the same theories are tested as possible explanations for the “state of senility”[3], namely the deteriorated state of individuals in artificially protected conditions (captivity, civilization, etc.) at ages rarely or never observable in the wild. …”
