Intent inferral on a hand orthosis for stroke patients is challenging due to the difficulty of data collection. Additionally, EMG signals exhibit significant variations across different conditions, sessions, and subjects, making it hard for classifiers to generalize. Traditional approaches require a large labeled dataset from the new condition, session, or subject to train intent classifiers; however, this data collection process is burdensome and time-consuming.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the differences in ruminal microbiota, gene variation, tick incidence, and blood parameters between Holstein × Gyr and Holstein dairy heifers grazing on intensively managed Guinea grass.
  • Results show that Firmicutes dominated the rumen microbiota in both breeds, but Holstein heifers had a higher abundance of Bacteroidota and a greater tick count compared to Holstein × Gyr heifers.
  • The findings suggest that Holstein × Gyr heifers may have better adaptations in terms of microbiota composition, resistance to ticks, specific genetic variations, and higher levels of certain blood hormones and nutrients.

We aimed to estimate the protein requirements of pregnant Holstein × Gyr cows. A total of 61 Holstein × Gyr (HG) cows were used, with an average initial body weight (BW) of 480 ± 10.1 kg and age 5 ± 0.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of differential average daily gain targets of dairy heifers throughout gestation on placental hemodynamics, uterine involution, colostrum production of the heifers, and effects on newborn calf weight and immunity transfer. Fourteen Holstein × Gyr heifers with an average body weight of 446 ± 46.7 kg and age of 25 ± 3.
