Gait recognition aims to identify person by walking pattern of individuals, which has a valuable application prospect in the fields of identity identification, public security and medical diagnosis.At present, most of the gait recognition methods are designed based on the human gait information.However, this paper focuses on the feature space of ga
Dairy heifers were subjected to a non-life-threatening challenge designed to induce ruminal acidosis by feeding grain and sugar.Large among animal variation in clinical signs of acidosis, rumen metabolite concentrations, and the rumen microbiome occurred.This exploratory study investigates sources of the variation by examining associations between
In this study, we respond to the criticism that the value-at-risk (VaR) measure fails during financial crises and is only applicable during periods without asset price bubbles.We propose a new dating mechanism that is based on the work of Phillips (2015) to date-stamp the oil burner origination and termination of the asset price bubbles.Our method
