Body Measurements and Body Condition Scoring as Basis for Estimation of Live Weight in Nili-Ravi Buffaloes
No full textImplementation of management recommendations for the Nili-Ravi buffalo in small-and medium scale commercial dairy production systems in Pakistan is hampered by difficulties to determine body weight (BW) of the animal. A workable and reliable method of predicting BW of this breed by using body measurements and body condition scoring (BCS) was therefore explored. Nili-Ravi buffaloes (n=211) were divided into three age groups (1-3 years = G1; >3-8 years = G2; >8 years = G3). Animals were weighed on a mechanical scale and their heart girth (HG), body length (BL) and shoulder height (SH) were measured. In addition, BCS was performed using a 5 point scale. Recorded data were subjected to simple and multiple linear regression analysis. The overall mean values of BW, HG, BL, SH and BCS were 359 +/- 160.9 kg, 170 +/- 30.1 cm, 130 +/- 19.2 cm, 125 +/- 14.5 cm and 3.8 +/- 0.77. With correlation coefficients (r) of 0.97 (HG), 0.94 (BL), 0.93 (SH) and 0.43 (BCS), the relationship between the individual independent variable with BW were significant (P<0.01) in all cases. The multiple linear regression between BW and HG, BL and BCS was highly significant (P<0.001) for each of the three groups (G1: r(2) = 0.95, G2: r(2) = 0.86, G3: r(2) = 0.83). Buffalo farmers who lack mechanical or electronic scales to regularly determine BW of their animals can thus combine simple morphometric body measurements (HG, BL) with BCS or just rely on HG in order to calculate feed requirements, monitor growth, determine breeding age, marketing weight and estimate the animals' cash value.

Gender Classification Using Smartphone Sensors and Machine Learning Approaches
No full textGait analysis is typically associated with the pattern of the human walk. Determining it with computational means can be helpful in many ways-from identifying individual humans to detecting gait-related diseases. In comparison to the expensive approaches and devices, which are limited to laboratories, smart- phones with motion sensors are low-cost solutions through which we can analyze mobility and gait patterns. Thus, in this work, we present the usage of smartphone sensors for data acquisition followed by machine learning-based gender classification, which is a baseline for different gait-related tasks. In this regard, we collected data from 14 persons in different tracks, paces, and movement styles; after adequate normalization, iterative feature elimination, and Monte-Carlo experiment-based ML training, we found the Decision Tree is the most optimal algorithm with attaining 90.6 % balanced-accuracy
Resilient TCP variant enabling smooth network updates for software defined data center networks
No full textNetwork updates have become increasingly prevalent since the broad adoption of software-defined networks (SDNs) in data centers. Modern TCP designs, including cuttingedge TCP variants DCTCP, CUBIC, and BBR, however, are not resilient to network updates that provoke flow rerouting. In this paper, we first demonstrate that popular TCP implementations perform inadequately in the presence of frequent and inconsistent network updates because inconsistent and frequent network updates result in out-of-order packets and packet drops induced via transitory congestion and lead to serious performance deterioration. We look into the causes and propose a network update-friendly TCP (NUFTCP), which is an extension of the DCTCP variant, as a solution. Simulations are used to assess the proposed NUFTCP. Our findings reveal that NUFTCP can more effectively manage the problems of out-of-order packets and packet drops triggered in network updates and it outperforms DCTCP considerably
