Effect of sire type and a by-product based diet on performance and meat quality in growing-finishing pigs
For many years, pig production has focused on maximizing performance by selecting for maximal muscle growth and feeding diets that allow the animals to express their genetic potential. However, it is unclear whether this selection for muscle deposition has affected the capacity of pigs to cope with by-product-based diets, which rely on fat as the p...
Crime within a bandwidth : testing 'the law of crime concentration at place' in Brussels
This study tests the law of crime concentration at place in Brussels Capital Region (approx. 1.2 million inhabitants) and examines the spatial stability of crime concentrations by applying Andresen's Spatial Point Pattern Test. Besides testing the law of crime concentration city-wide, this study also tests the law of crime concentration in the cont...
Understanding the role of gaze behaviour and coaching experience in the assessment of youth soccer teams
This study aimed to explore the perceptual-cognitive characteristics of coaches as they assessed team performance in youth soccer. The primary focus was to investigate the alignment between coaches’ subjective analyses of team behaviour and objective analyses, while also examining the relationship between coaches’ gaze behaviour and their levels of...
Search for new Higgs bosons via same-sign top quark pair production in association with a jet in proton-proton collision...
...
A search is presented for new Higgs bosons in proton-proton (pp) collision events in which a same-sign top quark pair is produced in association with a jet, via the pp -> tH/ A -> tt (c) over bar and pp -> tH/ A -> tt
Comparative evaluation of crash hotspot identification methods : empirical bayes vs. Potential for safety improvement us...
The empirical Bayes (EB) method is widely acclaimed for crash hotspot identification (HSID), which integrates crash prediction model estimates and observed crash frequency to compute the expected crash frequency of a site. The traditional negative binomial (NB) models, often used to estimate crash predictive models, typically struggle with accounti...
Phosphorus-based variable rate manure application in wheat and barley
Manure is used as a source of nutrients and organic matter for agricultural lands, but its unbalanced use has unfortunately made nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) leakage to the environment quite common in Western Europe. One way to optimize the use of manure is variable rate (VR) application, wherein within field spatial variability of soil nutrien...
Development, validation, and comparison of a novel nociception/anti-nociception monitor against two commercial monitors ...
...
In this paper, we present the development and the validation of a novel index of nociception/anti-nociception (N/AN) based on skin impedance measurement in time and frequency domain with our prototype AnspecPro device. The primary objective of the study was to compare the Anspec-PRO device with two other commercial devices (Medasense, Medstorm). Th...
Hybrid simulation-optimization approach for planning relief-aid distribution with a real-world case study
Purpose: Authorities have set up numerous security checkpoints during times of armed conflict to control the flow of commercial and humanitarian trucks into and out of areas of conflict. These security checkpoints have become highly utilized because of the complex security procedures and increased truck traffic, which significantly slow the deliver...
