Abstract:

Rendering on the making of movie animation is a process of combining the imagination of animators and artistic creativity by turning the graphic display into millions of moving images. To perform the rendering process, the render farm is used, which is a combination of a group of high-performance computers (super-computers) commonly referred to as Computer Generated Imager. Throughout this time, the render artist spends a considerable plenty of time on doing image analysis from render farms manually. Reflecting on that, the study presented in this paper propose a deep learning method can separ

Abstract:

The 3D animation industry continues to grow rapidly, but it is often hindered by the limitations of adequate computational resources. The rendering process, which converts 3D models into realistic images, requires significant computational power and often takes a long time. This study uses an experimental method to measure execution time during rendering with varying frame values. These variations are applied to each slave computer and compared to determine the speedup in execution time. Observations were made to understand the impact of changing frame values on rendering time. With the implem

Abstract:

This article outlines the nature of the decision making problem for an annual crop, and considers the problems of devising simulation models. Appropriate biological models are now in existence; the problem of computability is addressed briefly, and methods are described that might help to render such an optimizing program feasible. The potential usefulness of a crop management optimizing program is noted. There is no a priori theoretical reason why the same techniques cannot be applied at the farm level, aggregating different crop responses and relating management to the resource base of the i

Does credit availability exacerbate asset price inflation? Are there long-run consequences? During the farm land price boom and bust before the Great Depression, we find that credit availability directly inflated land prices. Credit also amplified the relationship between positive fundamentals and land prices, leading to greater indebtedness. When fundamentals soured, areas with higher credit availability suffered a greater fall in land prices and had more bank failures. Land prices and credit availability also remained disproportionately low for decades in these areas, suggesting that leverag

Wind energy is currently one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources in the world. For this reason, research on methods to render wind farms more energy efficient is reasonable. The optimization of wind turbine positions within wind farms makes the exploitation of wind energy more efficient and the wind farms more competitive with other energy resources. The investment costs alone for substation and electrical infrastructure for offshore wind farms run around 15–30% of the total investment costs of the project, which are considered high.

Desedimentation is a concept that every society in all historical periods experiences. It refers to the socio-political condition in which the routinization of norms is broken due to specific crises. Crises render familiar traditions into unhomed, disturbing unstable issues, giving birth to desedimentation. However, it is a social and historical necessity to oblige people to reconsider their identity. In this regard, some thinkers claim that desedimentation results in three primary factors: the disruption of socio-political routine, the struggle for hegemony, and the undecidability of calculat

Many people in African countries derive their livelihoods from agriculture and livestock. Therefore, unfavourable environmental and climatic conditions render them more vulnerable to increasing food insecurity and poverty rates.

Abstract:

Farmers in the Guinea Savannah region of Nigeria rely on inorganic fertilizer to mitigate yield reduction caused by low soil fertility. Unfortunately, high purchasing cost and harmful residual effect of chemical fertilizers render them unsustainable. However, goat dung, which is an animal waste, can be harnessed as organic amendment. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Abuja, Nigeria to evaluate growth and yield response of maize to goat dung amended soils. Three levels of goat dung (0 kg, 1.8 kg, and 2.7 kg of go

AbstractThis pilot experiment was conducted to ascertain whether CO2-enriched high expansion foam could be an acceptable and efficient alternative in emergency killing of poultry. This method could have wide-ranging applications but with particular emphasis on small (backyard) flocks, free-range sheds or open (naturally-ventilated) housings. The objectives of the study were as follows: 1) to determine whether the injection of foam and being covered with foam leads to fear or panic reactions in birds; 2) to determine the time taken to render birds unconscious and dead and 3) to determine whethe

The symbiotic relationship between microbes and ruminant livestock enables the efficient upcycling of otherwise for human consumption unsuitable rumen digestible fibre or cell wall components into highly nutritious milk and meat. Before entering the Czech National List of Plant Varieties, new silage maize germplasm is extensively tested for different cell wall digestibility parameters. Recently published, the undigestible neutral detergent fibre (uNDF) cell wall digestibility approach promises even greater

ABSTRACTDairy cows have been identified as common carriers ofCampylobacter jejuni, which causes many of the human gastroenteritis cases reported worldwide. To design on-farm management practices that control the human infection sourced from dairy cows, the first step is to acquire an understanding of the excretion patterns of the cow reservoir. We monitored the same 35 cows from two dairy farms forC. jejuniexcretion fortnightly for up to 12 months.

Considering the rising concern over climate change and the need for local food security, productive blue-green roofs (PBGR) can be an effective solution to mitigate many relevant environmental issues. However, their cost of operation is high because they are intensive, and an economical operation and maintenance approach will render them as more viable alternative. Low-cost sensors with the Internet of Things can provide reliable solutions to the real-time management and distributed monitoring of such roofs through monitoring the plant as well soil conditions.

Abstract Benzimidazole anthelmintics are the most common chemotherapeutic agents used to remove intestinal helminths from farm animals. The development of drug resistance within helminth populations is wide-spread and can render these drugs essentially useless. The mechanism of benzimidazole resistance appears to be common to many species ranging from fungi to nematodes and involves alterations in the genes encoding beta-tubulin. During the selection process resulting in resistance, there must be quantitative changes in the population gene pool. Knowledge of these changes would indicate the me

Abstract:

Saline-sodic soils are a major impediment for agricultural production in semi-arid regions. Salinity and sodicity drastically reduce agricultural crop yields, damage farm equipment, jeopardize food security, and render soils unusable for agriculture. However, many farmers in developing semi-arid regions cannot afford expensive amendments to reclaim saline-sodic soils. Furthermore, existing research does not cover soil types (e.g., Luvisols and Lixisols) that are found in many semi-arid regions of South America. Therefore, we used percolation columns to evaluate the effect of inexpensive chemic

Abstract:

Research on potentially adverse effects of wind farms is an expanding field of study and often focuses on large raptors, such as golden eagles, largely because of their life history traits and extensive habitat requirements. These features render them sensitive to either fatality (collision with turbine blades) or functional habitat loss (avoidance through wariness of turbines). Simplistically, avoidance is antagonistic to collision; although, the two processes are not necessarily mutually exclusive in risk. A bird that does not enter a wind farm or avoids flying close to turbines cannot colli
