This collection features five peer-reviewed reviews on ensuring the welfare of laying hens.The first chapter highlights the key welfare issues in poultry housing and management, focussing on the use of conventional cages to house laying hens. The chapter then explores the emergence of enriched cages and cage-free housing, as well as the benefits and risks of each system on bird health and welfare.The second chapter reviews the range of welfare issues affect...

Lin Feng, who sold small pancakes, got a miraculous stone and menu by accident. Afterwards, the already famous pancake stand in the University City became filled with more customers.Relying on the magical power of the stone and the menu, Lin Feng first subdued the bullies that often bullied people around the Higher Education Mega Centre, then completed his own little dream and set up a small restaurant with his dependent sister, Lin Xin. Afterwards, he obtained a m...

This book offers the reader a formalization, characterization and quantification of the real threat level posed by side-channel leaks from devices implementing cryptography. It exploits the best mathematical tools for quantifying information leakage and characterizing leakage-based attacks. The two possible approaches are described in detail. This includes the optimal attack strategy that can be derived (in specific contexts) or generic bounds regarding data complexity that can be computed...

Particular focus on improving functional traits needed for more resilient poultry breedsComprehensive coverage of key advances in genomic selection and their practical application in breeding improved breeds of layers and broilersLooks forward to emerging trends such as the use of epigenetics and genome editing

The main focus of this book is the transport mechanics of sediment particles coated with microbial biofilm, which is called bio-sediment. The book also addresses the question of how to measure and simulate the considerable variation in the properties of natural sediment associated with microbial biofilm, ranging from the micro-scale surface morphology to the macro-scale sediment transport. Nowadays most studies to elucidate the mechanisms of sediment transport have concentrated on physical...

This book goes to great depth concerning the fast growing topic of technologies and approaches of fuzzy logic in the Semantic Web. The topics of this book include fuzzy description logics and fuzzy ontologies, queries of fuzzy description logics and fuzzy ontology knowledge bases, extraction of fuzzy description logics and ontologies from fuzzy data models, storage of fuzzy ontology knowledge bases in fuzzy databases, fuzzy Semantic Web ontology mapping, and fuzzy rules and their interchan...

This book investigates Reliability-based Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (RBMDO) theory and its application in the design of deep manned submersibles (DMSs). Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) is an effective design method for large engineering systems like aircraft, warships, and satellites, which require designers and engineers from various disciplines to cooperate with each other. MDO can be used to handle the conflicts that arise between these disciplines, and focuses on...

出版史上首次依照2016年11月發表的PPG I分類系統編排蕨類名錄，物種清單最新，收錄種數最多的台灣蕨類大圖鑑！★ 許天銓、陳正為、「植物獵人」洪信介、Ralf Knapp 等中外蕨類專家首次聯手寫作★ 首次根據2016年11月最新發表的PPG I分類系統編排台灣蕨類名錄★ 自石松目的石松科起，至水龍骨目的烏毛蕨科為止，共收錄28科409種★ 林業試驗所副研究員／前台北植物園園長邱文良專業審定目前世界上全部的蕨類種數約有10,000餘種，其中全歐洲僅有約150種，美洲約400種，而台灣就佔了800種以上，而且有約三分之一是稀有物種，在島上保存得相當完整，無論是世界最大、最小、或是最古老的蕨類植物，在台灣都可以見到。而和亞洲的鄰國相比，台灣的面積雖小，但由於得天獨厚的複雜地形，垂直分布容納自熱帶、亞熱帶、溫帶及寒帶的氣候與植物帶特色，加上氣候與四面環海的地理位置，令台灣幾乎擁有全世界最高的蕨類物種密度，也成為蘊藏豐富蕨類的重要寶庫。本書為《台灣原生植物全圖鑑的八卷...
