The Impact of Genetic Variation on Duck Hepatitis A Virus (DHAV) Vaccine Efficacy: A Comparative Study of DHAV-1 and DHAV-3 Against Emerging Variant Strains.

Duck virus hepatitis (DVH), caused by duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV), poses significant challenges to duck farming due to high mortality rates in young ducklings. Despite the widespread use of live attenuated vaccines, the genetic diversity within DHAV strains has diminished their cross-protection efficacy. This study aimed to evaluate the cross-protective efficacy of current DHAV-1 and DHAV-3 vaccines against genetically divergent wild strains.

Research on Tool Wear Monitoring Technology Based on Variational Mode Decomposition and Back Propagation Neural Network Model.

Accurately predicting tool wear during the machining process not only saves machining time and improves efficiency but also ensures the production of good-quality parts and automation. This paper proposes a combined variational mode decomposition (VMD) and back propagation (BP) neural network model (VMD-BP), which maps spindle power to tool wear. The model is trained using both historical and real-time data.

Multipopulation Whale Optimization-Based Feature Selection Algorithm and Its Application in Human Fall Detection Using Inertial Measurement Unit Sensors.
