A phase transition in diffusion models reveals the hierarchical nature of data.

Understanding the structure of real data is paramount in advancing modern deep-learning methodologies. Natural data such as images are believed to be composed of features organized in a hierarchical and combinatorial manner, which neural networks capture during learning. Recent advancements show that diffusion models can generate high-quality images, hinting at their ability to capture this underlying compositional structure.

Phytase Improves Zinc Utilization by Broiler Chickens.

The study aimed to evaluate phytase effects on the availability of zinc (Zn) from corn and soybean meal feeds for broiler chickens, whereas, in parallel, Zn requirements were investigated. A total of 640 Cobb × Cobb 500 male chicks were fed a Zn-deficient diet (18.87 ± 0.

Increasing pollination possibilities in species: in vitro and in vivo viability of cryopreserved pollen to address flowering asynchrony.

is a vital forage and turf grass in tropical and subtropical regions, yet its breeding programs face challenges due to the lack of natural flowering synchronization between some parent species. Pollen cryopreservation offers a potential solution to this issue. This study aimed to adapt a cryopreservation protocol for the pollen of , , and , and to evaluate the viability of cryopreserved pollen grains (CPG) for hybridization purposes.

Research Note: Proteases effect on soybean meal: enzyme product and area of production differences on standardized ileal amino acids digestibility of broiler chickens.

This study evaluated the effects of two protease products added to feeds having two soybean meal (SBM) sources (South and North of Brazil). A total of five hundred and sixty, 21 d male broiler chickens were allocated into 7 dietary treatments: a nitrogen-free diet (NFD) and other six diets prepared with a 40% replacement of the NFD with each SBM source. Two commercial protease products (RONOZYME® ProAct and ProAct 360) were added at 15,000 PROT and 30,000 NFP per kg feed, respectively.

Old but gold: Is the Judet procedure still a viable option for posttraumatic knee stiffness in 2024? A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Posttraumatic extension contracture of the knee (PECK) is common after knee injury. Initial management is conservative to improve the range of motion; if it fails, surgery may be necessary. This systematic review analyses existing literature on Judet quadricepsplasty for PECK.
