Automated on-site broiler live weight estimation through YOLO-based segmentation by Mahmoud Y. Shams, Wael M. Elmessery, Awad Ali Tayoush Oraiath, Ahmed Elbeltagi, Ali Salem, Pankaj Kumar, Tamer M. El-Messery, Tarek Abd El-Hafeez, Mohamed F. Abdelshafie, Gomaa G. Abd El-Wahhab, Ibrahim S. El-Soaly, Abdallah Elshawadfy Elwakeel

“…Traditional weighing methods, which use electronic platform weighers, can stress broilers and may not capture accurate weight data, particularly heavy broilers. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes a camera-based weighing approach that relies on morphological changes in different growth stages of broilers rather than body dimensions. …”

A study of Summer Rainfall on the Southern Coast of the Caspian Sea Using WRF and Satellite Numerical Forecasting Models by Donya Sadegh Nezhad, Ebrahim Fatehi, Gholam Ali Kamali, Zahra Ghassabi

“…Numerical weather forecasting models such as WRF usually do not have suitable outputs for predicting the amount of precipitation in the first hours of implementation; This is intensified in the summer season on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea in the provinces of Gilan and Mazandaran. Because most of the heavy rains in this season occur in the form of convection and in small spatial and temporal dimensions. …”

Timing evolution and prediction of Internet transmission behavior by He TIAN, Hai ZHAO, Jinfa WANG, Chuan LIN

“…The transmission behavior of Internet plays an importance role in the research on the relationship between network topology structure and dynamic behavior.Selecting effective path samples in four monitoring points which from different regions authorized by CAIDA_Ark project and statistics network traveling time and traveling diameter,their correlation is very weak,network traveling time is presented on multi-peak and heavy tail distribution.Using nonlinear time sequences analysis method to identify the Chaos characteristics of network traveling time evolution sequences.The results show that their timing evolution has Chaos characteristics.Based on this,the Logistic equation was lead to establish network transmission behavior prediction model,and particle swarm optimization (PSO) was used to optimize model parameters.The model by the network traveling time sequences of four monitoring points was experimented,evaluated it from accuracy and availability,the results show that the model can predict network transmission behavior accurately in the short term.It can be used as a tool for predicting the network behaviors’ evolution in a period of time.…”
