Access to adequate foraging material can reduce the occurrence of feather pecking and cannibalism in laying hens.Technical devices may help farmers provide enrichment material more effectively.However, research in this field is rare.On a commercial free-range farm with 15,000 laying hens (Lohmann Tradition), an enrichment device was evaluated from
Speech enhancement for drone audition is made challenging by the strong ego-noise from the rotating motors and propellers, which leads to extremely low signal-to-noise ratios (e.g.SNR $< -15$ dB) at onboard microphones.In this paper, we extensively assess the ability of single-channel deep learning approaches to ego-noise reduction on drones.We
Abstract Addressing the challenge of efficiently solving multi-objective optimization problems (MOP) and attaining satisfactory optimal solutions has always posed a formidable task.In this paper, based on the chicken swarm optimization algorithm, proposes the non-dominated sorting chicken swarm optimization (NSCSO) algorithm.The proposed approach i
In the field of biomechanics, numerical procedures can be used to understand complex phenomena that cannot be analyzed with experimental setups.The use of experimental data from human cadavers can present ethical issues that can be avoided by utilizing biofidelic models.Biofidelic models have been shown to have far-reaching benefits, particularly i
