A two-stage cluster sample design was used to estimate population parameters of dogs and cats of the urban Embellishments area of Votorantim, São Paulo State, Brazil, to support the planning and implementation of population management programs for companion animals.For dogs, the total and density estimates were 27,241 dogs (95% confidence interval
Dual-Branch Diffusion Detection Model for Photovoltaic Array and Hotspot Defect Detection in Infrared Images
Failures in solar photovoltaic (PV) modules generate heat, leading to various hotspots observable in infrared images.Automated hotspot detection technology enables rapid fault identification in PV systems, while PV array detection, leveraging geometric cues from infrared images, facilitates the precise localization of defects.This study tackles the
Safety Assessment of Ultrasound-Assisted Intravesical Chemotherapy in Normal Dogs: A Pilot Study
Intravesical chemotherapy after transurethral resection is a treatment option in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.The efficacy of intravesical chemotherapy is determined by the cellular uptake of intravesical drugs.Therefore, drug delivery technologies in the urinary bladder are promising tools for enhancing the efficacy of intraves
Genetic Ablation of Type III Adenylyl Cyclase Exerts Region-Specific Effects on Cilia Architecture in the Mouse Nose.
We recently reported that olfactory sensory neurons in the dorsal zone of the mouse olfactory epithelium exhibit drastic location-dependent differences in cilia length.Furthermore, genetic ablation of type III adenylyl cyclase (ACIII), a key olfactory signaling protein and ubiquitous marker for primary Cocoa Powder cilia, disrupts the cilia length
Uncertainty measurement in the homogenization and sample reduction in the physical classification of rice and beans
ABSTRACT: The study aimed to i) quantify the measurement uncertainty in the physical tests of rice and beans for a hypothetical defect, ii) verify whether homogenization and sample reduction in the physical classification tests of rice and beans is effective to reduce the Drink holder measurement uncertainty of the process and iii) determine whethe
