RESPONSE OF BROILERS TO DIMETHYLGLYCINE ADDITION TO NORMAL AND LOW-ENERGY DIET ON PHYSIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE AND ANTIOXIDANT STATUS by A. A. Hazaa, H. H. Nafe

“…Birds were fed on two dietary systems: the first bishop feature that included transactions (T1, T2, T3), the first transaction T1 was control without adding (normal diet), the second transaction T2 and the third T3 (adding DMG at 300 and 600 mg/ kg ordinary diet sequential First treatment without adding (T1, T2, T3). 300 and 600 mg/kg low-energy rations, respectively). an improvement (P < 0.05) in favor of the low-energy diet with the addition of DMG at the level of 600 mg / kg feed for ALP enzyme, and a significant improvement (P < 0.05) was observed in the number of lymphocytes in favor of the normal and low-energy diet when adding DMG at the level of 600 mg / kg feed. …”

Time‐Lagged Effects of Ionospheric Response to Severe Geomagnetic Storms on GNSS Kinematic Precise Point Positioning by Zhe Yang, Y. T. Jade Morton

“…Abstract This paper investigates time‐lag effects of ionospheric response to two severe geomagnetic storms (Kp = 8) on the degradation of kinematic precise point positioning (PPP) solutions, utilizing over 5500 Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) stations distributed worldwide. Focusing on these two severe geomagnetic storms that occurred during solar cycle 24, the study employs an open‐source positioning software package, namely RTKLIB, to derive the PPP solutions. …”

Traditional guidance mechanism based deep robust watermarking by Xuejing GUO, Yixiang FANG, Yi ZHAO, Tianzhu ZHANG, Wenchao ZENG, Junxiang WANG

“…With the development of network and multimedia technology, multimedia data has gradually become a key source of information for people, making digital media the primary battlefield for copyright protection and anti-counterfeit traceability.Digital watermarking techniques have been widely studied and recognized as important tools for copyright protection.However, the robustness of conventional digital watermarking methods is limited as sensitive digital media can easily be affected by noise and external interference during transmission.Then the existing powerful digital watermarking technology’s comprehensive resistance to all forms of attacks must be enhanced.Moreover, the conventional robust digital watermarking algorithm’s generalizability across a variety of image types is limited due to its embedding method.Deep learning has been widely used in the development of robust digital watermarking systems due to its self-learning abilities.However, current initialization techniques based on deep neural networks rely on random parameters and features, resulting in low-quality model generation, lengthy training times, and potential convergence issues.To address these challenges, a deep robust digital watermarking algorithm based on a traditional bootstrapping mechanism was proposed.It combined the benefits of both traditional digital watermarking techniques and deep neural networks, taking into account their learning abilities and robust characteristics.The algorithm used the classic robust digital watermarking algorithm to make watermarked photos, and the constructed feature guaranteed the resilience of traditional watermarked images.The final dense image was produced by fusing the conventionally watermarked image with the deep network using the U-Net structure.The testing results demonstrate that the technique can increase the stego image’s resistance to various attacks and provide superior visual quality compared to the conventional algorithm.…”
