Cloning of Dolly the Sheep01:08

Cloning of Dolly the Sheep

7.8K
The first successfully cloned mammal was Dolly, a sheep, born on 5th July 1996 at Roslin Institute, Scotland. The cloned sheep was named after the American singer Dolly Parton. Dolly lived for seven years and died of respiratory complications, which is speculated to be due to the actual age of her DNA. Because the DNA in cloned cells belongs to an older individual,  the cloned individual’s life expectancy may be affected. Indeed, analysis of Dolly’s DNA revealed shorter...

Axial and Appendicular Muscles01:18

Axial and Appendicular Muscles

2.8K
Skeletal muscles, the key players in our body's movement, can be classified into two groups based on their location and function: axial muscles and appendicular muscles. These classifications reflect the primary roles the muscles play in the body's structure and movement.
Axial Muscles
Axial muscles, situated along the body's midline, are intricately connected to the axial skeleton, which includes the skull, spine, ribs, and sternum. These muscles facilitate facial expressions and...

Accelerators01:17

Accelerators

294
Accelerators in concrete serve as admixtures to speed up the hardening process, enabling the concrete to achieve early strength faster. Although accelerators do not necessarily impact the time it takes concrete to set, they reduce this time in practice. A common accelerator is calcium chloride, which is particularly useful for hastening early strength development in cold weather or for rapid repair jobs that require quick heat generation after mixing.
The effectiveness of calcium chloride can...

Overview of the Axial Skeleton01:09

Overview of the Axial Skeleton

12.5K
The skeleton is subdivided into two major divisions—the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton forms the vertical, central axis of the body. It includes all of the bones of the head, neck, chest, and back. It protects the brain, spinal cord, heart, and lungs. It also serves as the attachment site for muscles that move the head, neck, and back and for muscles that act across the shoulder and hip joints to move their corresponding limbs.
The axial skeleton of the...

General Case of Eccentric Axial Loading01:12

General Case of Eccentric Axial Loading

535
Unsymmetrical bending occurs when the bending moment applied to a structural member does not align with its principal axis. This misalignment leads to complex stress distributions and deflection patterns that differ from symmetrical bending, which are essential for designing structures to withstand different loading conditions.
Consider a member subjected to equal and opposite forces that are applied along a line that does not coincide with the member's neutral axis. In unsymmetrical...

Area of Science:

  • Animal Science
  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Lameness in sheep negatively impacts productivity and welfare.
  • Current visual inspection methods for lameness are labor-intensive and subjective.
  • Objective methods are needed for early detection and management of sheep lameness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of tri-axial accelerometers in differentiating sound and lame gaits in sheep.
  • To compare the performance of accelerometers deployed on the ear, collar, and leg.

Main Methods:

  • Sheep gait data were collected using accelerometers attached to the ear, collar, and leg.
  • Data were segmented into 10-second epochs and analyzed using Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA).
  • Classification models were developed to distinguish between sound and lame locomotion.

Main Results:

  • The ear-mounted accelerometer achieved the highest prediction accuracy (82%) for lame locomotion.
  • Leg-mounted accelerometers showed 87% accuracy but misclassified sound walking as lame.
  • Collar-mounted accelerometers had the lowest accuracy (35%) in classifying lame gaits.

Conclusions:

  • Ear-mounted accelerometers are superior for classifying sheep lameness based on time-series accelerometer data.
  • This technology offers a potential objective tool for monitoring sheep gait and health.
  • Further refinement may improve accuracy and reduce misclassification errors in lameness detection.
