The effect of different cluster take-off levels at udder quarter in combination with feeding during milking on milk production in dairy cows by Hultén, Christine

“…Three different cluster take-off levels (100, 300 or 500g/min) on udder quarter level in combination with (f) or without feeding (nf) of concentrate during milking were tested in a six week long study in a 6x6 Latin Square model. It was found that milk yield was not affected by neither treatment, take-off level nor feeding of concentrate during milking, while milk composition was affected by both take-off level and feeding of concentrate during milking. …”

Spatial and temporal deep learning methods for deriving land-use following deforestation: A pan-tropical case study using Landsat time series by Masolele, R.N., Sy, Veronique de, Herold, M., Gonzalez, D.M., Verbesselt, Jan, Gieseke, F., Mullissa, A.G., Martius, C.

“…In this paper, for the first time, we assess the potential of spatial, temporal and spatio-temporal deep learning methods for large-scale classification of land-use following tropical deforestation using dense satellite time series over six years on the pan-tropical scale (incl. Latin America, Africa, and Asia). Based on an extensive reference database of six forest to land-use conversion types, we find that the spatio-temporal models achieved a substantially higher F1-score accuracies than models that account only for spatial or temporal patterns. …”
