Prevalence and risk factors of teat end hyperkeratosis in cows from the Urals region of Russia by A.S. Barkova, V.V. Verkhoturov

“…It was noted that animals with milking frequency of more than 2 times a day have a higher level of hyperkeratosis; likewise, animals with permanence in the box and prolongued milking have a higher percentage of lesions, which can be related to the narrowing of the lumen of the teat canal and excretion of a large volume of milk. …”

Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Chickpea Proteins and Their Functional and Technological Properties by Emine Aytunga Arik Kibar, Özlem Aslan

“…In this study, with the aim of developing a more efficient and effective method, chickpea proteins were isolated by ultrasound-assisted extraction and the process parameters were optimised using the Box-Behnken design. Results and conclusions. Under the optimal extraction conditions (solid/solvent ratio 13.42 g/100 mL, pH=8.8, extraction time t=10 min, ultrasound amplitude 70 %), the highest extraction yield was obtained, 66.1 % with ultrasound-assisted extraction and 55.1 % with the conventional alkaline method. …”

Gaze Assistance for Efficient Segmentation Correction of Medical Images by Leila Khaertdinova, Tatyana Shmykova, Ilya Pershin, Andrey Laryukov, Albert Khanov, Damir Zidikhanov, Bulat Ibragimov

“…Specifically, the gaze-assisted corrections increased the average segmentation performance by nearly 62% for difficult medical cases, compared to traditional segmentation methods based on bounding boxes. The main findings of our proposed work include: 1) the substantial improvement in segmentation quality through gaze interaction, 2) the development of an efficient correction mechanism leveraging eye movements, and 3) the demonstration of gaze-assisted segmentation’s superior performance in abdominal imaging tasks. …”
