Comparative analysis of some investment costs for free rearing of female breeding calves
Get PDFWith varying capacities for dairy cattle breeding farms, this study aims to compare and analyze investmentcosts for building construction and technological equipment with various methods for free rearing femalebreeding calves. The ultimate goal is to determine the most economical and practically recommendedsolutions. This study compares eight different technological variations for freestall rearing of female calvesand heifers in farms with forty, sixty, eighty, or one hundred cows. Four of these variations involve buildingswith group cubicles on a sloping floor, designed for calves between three and eighteen months old, and fourof these variations involve buildings with group cubicles on straw bedding, designed for heifers. Comparedto buildings with group cubicles on straw bedding, the variants with a sloping floor for calves and a butterflylanding for heifers are more cost-effective in terms of relative construction costs of the load bearing andfencing structures and total construction costs, while the floor profile variants are more capital-intensive. Thisis true even though the farm capacity remains the same. The relative construction cost of the technologicalprofile drops from 299 to 203 BGN/st.pl. (up to 47.3%), the relative construction cost of the load bearing andfencing structures drops from 1388 to 832 BGN/st.pl. (up to 66.8%), and the relative total construction costdrops from 1650 BGN/st.pl. to 1080 BGN/st.pl. (up to 52.8%) when the farm capacity is increased from 40to 100 cows. The most cost-effective option, according to relative construction costs of the buildings' loadbearing and fencing structures (up to 66.7 percent) and total construction costs (up to 52.8 percent), is the onewith group cubicles on a sloping floor for calves and Butterfly landing for heifers on a farm that canaccommodate 100 cows. Based on the relative construction cost of the floor profile, the version with groupcubicles on straw bedding on a farm with a capacity for 100 cows is up to 47.3% more inexpensive than theother option
Crypto-Ransomware Analysis and Detection: Strengthening Security Measures
Get PDFSince the advent of the wide adoption of virtual currency (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin), some withill intents have become interested in this space and have created and sold ransomware to make easy access to virtualcurrency. Using cunning techniques, this ransomware enters the victim's computer and encrypts all of the files on it.Following the procedure for encryption, the intruder leaves a notice threatening to prevent entry to the encrypted dataunless a virtual currency ransom is paid. The biggest threat to information technology security at the moment is thiskind of ransomware, which is growing in popularity over time. Numerous studies about the identification andexamination of this cyberbullying can be found in the literature. In this study, we looked closely at a forensicinvestigation of a recent attack example with an emphasis on crypto-ransomware. In this instance, the attack techniqueand the crypto-ransomware's behaviour were examined, and it was found that the attacker's data was available. Giventhis aspect, we believe our research will make a substantial contribution to the fight against this danger. 
To Study the Adoption Level of Rural Women after getting Training on Mushroom Cultivation
Get PDFOyster mushrooms are the third largest cultivated mushroom in the world. China is theworld leader in oyster production, contributes nearly 85 per cent of the total worldproduction of about a million tons (Das and Kalita, 2006). The economic importance ofthe mushroom lies primarily in its use a food for human consumption. Mushroomcultivation can directly improve livelihoods through economic, nutritional andmedicinal contributions. Mushroom is a popular food due to their special flavour,nutritive value and medicinal properties. It is rich in vitamin C and B complex and theprotein content varies between 1.6 to 2.5 per cent. It has most of the mineral saltsrequired by the human body. The niacin content is about ten times higher than anyother vegetables. It has been reported by Rop et al. (2009) and Manikandan (2010).They provide high quality fats and low in carbohydrates and cholesterol, which is ideal forreducing body weight (Qumio et al., 1990)

Effect of body condition score at calving on body condition during lactation in Holstein and Brown Swiss cows
Get PDFA total of 37 cows, including 20 Holsteins and 17 Brown Swiss, are part in the research. Both breeds use thesame method for rearing: free-roaming in separate cubbies. In a milking parlor, milking occurs twice. Thereare three technical categories for cows based on their physiological state: dry cows, I-st up to 120-150th day,and ІІ-d lactation phase. Feeding is based on a complete diet mix that includes vitamin and mineral additions,concentrated feed, alfalfa haylage, and maize silage. A 5-point assessment method, ranging from 0 to 5, hasbeen used to record the cows' bodily status on a monthly basis, with an accuracy of up to 0.5 points. Browncows typically have a BCS of 3.0 at calving and 1.64 when nursing. Holstein cows typically have a BCS of2.8 points when they give birth and a BCS of 1.38 points while they are nursing. The body condition score(BCS) of heifers from both breeds is somewhat lower (3.0 points) when they give birth compared to oldercows, but they have less body condition loss (1.66 points) when nursing. Lactation loss is more severe incows at ≥ ІІ-d from the first month of lactation until they reach the lowest BCS, a total of 2.04 points.Compared to Brown Swiss cows, Holsteins lose an average of 2.14 points and attain a lower BCS of 1.05 atthe beginning of lactation, whereas the corresponding figures for Brown Swiss cows are 1.85 and 1.20 points,respectively. When it comes to lactation, cows of both breeds who are in poor bodily condition when theygive birth (2.5 points and 2 points, respectively) have the lowest BCS values. Body condition score (BCS)increases in cows who were at 3.5 or 4 points upon calving are the most consistent
Securing Crowdfunding Platforms: Implementing Blockchain for Fraud Detection
Get PDFCrowdfunding is an online fundraising procedure that was originally designed to allow members of the public tocontribute small sums of money to support creative people's projects. Crowdfunding uses blockchain technologyto provide consumers with smart contracts. This allows us to deliver crowdfunding in a safe, open, and transparentmanner. This project aims to create interactive forms for campaign development and financial contributions. Thissystem allows campaign creators and contributors to view or submit requests for approval, as well as constructand support their initiatives. Furthermore, the donor may be able to monitor the utilization of the funds theydonate. Every transaction will be recorded as blocks on the blockchain and monitored accordingly. The use ofsmart contracts in the blockchain is tempting. A blockchain-based agreement must be created, carried out, andenforced by untrustworthy members without the intervention of a trustworthy third party. Developing blockchaincompatible executable code is critical. Blockchain was initially used primarily as the foundation forcryptocurrencies, but it has since spread to a variety of other enterprises. Blockchain technology is expected tobecome the most widely used green method of conducting internet transactions. Blockchain technology isemployed in a variety of applications, including crowdfunding sites. The biggest difficulty confronting the globalcrowdfunding industry today is a lack of strong control over campaigns, as some attempts at crowd investing haveproven fraudulent. This work aims to address these issues by ensuring that initiatives may be added within thegiven time frame, eliminating fraud, and allowing contracts to be fully mechanically executed using Ethereumsmart contracts on the crowdfunding site. 
INTEGRATING CMP-BLOCKCHAIN WITH NLP AND MACHINE LEARNING FOR TRUST VERIFICATION AND EVENT DETECTION
Get PDFAn integral part of our everyday lives is spent on social networks, and one of the most important parts of these networks is the so-called social reviewing system (SRS), which allows us to access data, usually in the form of reviews. The significance of social networks necessitates that they be trustworthy and secure, preventing assaults and misuses and allowing users to freely utilise the information they provide. False reviews are a major weapon in the fight against the reputation system. Since even verified members of the network are capable of launching such attacks, a strong defence is to take advantage of trust management by giving each user a trust level and then having them use it to evaluate the collected data. Because it is subjective and difficult to completely automate the process of detecting improper behaviours, trust management within the framework of SRSs is especially complex. Despite several proposals in the existing literature, this matter has not yet been fully addressed. By using the innovative notion of time-dependent and content-dependent crown consensus and modelling trust management as a multicriteria multiexpert decision making, this work proposes a remedy against mendacious reviews that integrates fuzzy logic with the theory of evidence. Even when faced with sockpuppet assaults, our method proved to be more effective than the primary methodologies described in related literature
Studies on Molecular characterization of Rhizobium spp. Isolates from Agricultural soil of M.P
Get PDFNitrogen fixation in leguminous plants by rhizobia, gram-negative symbiotic bacteria, is important innatural ecosystems and for agriculture. This is because the rhizobia are capable of utilizing dinitrogendirectly with their nitrogenases, whereas the plants have to get nitrogen in a chemically reduced form,which can be costly. Both the bacteria and their host plants are involved in determining host specificityand the interaction between the host plant and the rhizobial bacteria is often highly specific. The aim ofthis study was to study diversity of Rhizobium spp. in agricultural lands of Madhya Pradesh.Physicochemical properties of soil were studied using standard methods while molecular methods used tostudy diversity within Rhizobium species. Further, population analysis of Rhizobium species in relation togenetic diversity was carried out using 16S rDNA-RFLP PCR. Rhizobium were identified and geneticallyby determining the %G+C content of the whole genome, followed by Restriction enzyme (Mbo I, Hap II,Taq I, Msp I, Cfo I, Nde II, Dde I, Rsa I) treatment of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplifiedproduct of 16S rDNA segment was performed. The sequences recognized by the restriction enzymes aredistributed at variable intervals in the genome of an organism and also vary in number. The separationcarried out by electrophoresis (1.6-2% agarose gel) resulted in specific banding pattern differing within aswell as among different species
True Potato Seed (TPS): An Alternative Technology for Commercial Cultivation of Potato in Bihar
Get PDFFor standardization of TPS (True Potato Seed) transplanting time, seedling tuber sizeand fertilizer application the experiments were conducted on experimental research plot of TCA,Dholi along with farmer’s field with selected True Potato Seed populations. Total tuber yield (q/ha)varied from 90.50 to 128.00 q/ha. Early transplanting by second week of November was found mostsuitable for superior TPS transplanting. Application of N-100kg, K2O-100kg and Mustard Cake 10q per ha in seedling transplanted crop was found most profitable. The seedling survival at harvestin farmer’s field varied from 50.00 per cent to 63.00 per cent. The seedling tuber size of 10-20 gramgave equal tuber yield as compared to normal seed potato size (30-40 g). As the tuber yield fromTPS seedling transplanted crop is poor in alkaline-saline soils of North Bihar, farmers are verymuch interested to transplant TPS seedling in small area to get good quality seedling tubers potatofor large scale commercial production in future.,
