An enriched environment is widely used to improve domestic animals’ welfare and promote their natural behaviors. Music can reduce abnormal behavior in humans, nonhuman primates, and rodents. However, little is known about the effects of music on pigs. This study aims to explore the effects of repeated music stimulation on the behavior, physiology, and immunity of growing pigs. A total of 72 hybrid piglets (Large White × Duroc × Minpig) were randomly divided into three groups, including music (Mozart K.448, 60 to 70 dB), noise (recorded mechanical noise, 80 to 85 dB), and control (natural background sound, <40 dB), and 6 h sound stimulation was given per day (1000 to 1600 hours) from 40 to 100 d of age. The behavioral activities of the pigs were observed during the music stimulation, and their serum cortisol, salivary cortisol, and serum immune indices were also measured. Compared with the control group, the music group and noise group increased activity but decreased lying of pigs (P < 0.05). A significant increase in tail-wagging, playing, and exploring behaviors of pigs was found in the music group (P < 0.05), and the noise significantly increased the aggressive behavior of the pigs (P < 0.05). Tail-wagging, playing, exploring, manipulating, and aggressive behaviors decreased over time. Short-term (8 d) music stimulus had a lower cortisol level than that of the noise and control groups (P < 0.05), whereas long-term (60 d) music stimulus increased immunoglobulin G (IgG), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) levels (P < 0.05) and decreased interleukin-4 (IL-4) level (P < 0.05). Long-term noise stimulus significantly reduced the level of IgG (P < 0.05) but did not affect the level of IL-2, IL-4, and IFN-γ levels (P > 0.05). In conclusion, short-term music stimulus (8 d) reduced the stress response, whereas long-term music stimulus (60 d) enhanced the immune responses. In addition, the noise increased the aggressive behavior, and long-term noise reduced the immunity of the growing pigs.  相似文献

针对传统牛肉嫩度检测速度慢、精度低的问题，提出了基于气流脉冲结合结构光3D成像的牛肉嫩度快速无损检测方法。首先，利用脉冲气流对牛肉表面进行冲击，同时通过结构光3D成像获取待测牛肉表面凹陷区域的三维点云信息；然后，采用去噪、点云分割、贪婪投影三角化、Delaunay三角化、曲面拟合等算法进行点云处理，获得牛肉表面凹陷区域的深度、映射面积、表面积和体积等信息；基于此,分别建立基于最小二乘支持向量机回归（LS-SVR）、BP神经网络和广义回归神经网络（GRNN）的生鲜牛肉剪切力预测模型；结果表明，GRNN模型预测表现最佳，预测集相关系数为0.975，均方根误差为5.307N。采用基于K-fold交叉验证的GRNN神经网络对牛肉嫩度等级进行预测，结果显示该方法对较嫩牛肉分级效果较好，为100%，对较老牛肉分级效果稍差，为91.3%。研究表明，基于气流脉冲结合结构光3D成像进行牛肉剪切力以及嫩度快速、无损检测是可行的。  相似文献

沈惠平  朱忠颀  孟庆梅  吴广磊  邓嘉鸣 《农业机械学报》2020,51(10):411-420

根据基于方位特征(POC)方程的并联机构拓扑设计理论与方法，提出一种零耦合度、含1条冗余支链的三自由度两平移一转动(2T1R)并联机构，并对该机构进行拓扑分析。结果表明：该机构具有符号式位置正解和部分运动解耦特性，其被动冗余支链能避免奇异位置，改善刚度；因机构耦合度为零，易求解出其符号式位置正解，并分析了机构可能产生的3种奇异位置；运用虚拟弹簧法建立了每条支链的刚度模型并进行求解，给出并分析了机构笛卡尔刚度矩阵中扭转刚度和线性刚度的变化趋势，讨论了冗余支链对整体刚度性能的影响，验证了冗余支链可使机构整体刚度性能提升约22%。  相似文献   

蜗壳式离心泵外特性仿真与实验研究     

喻德辉  陈燕  王超  白小榜  杨由超 《中国农村水利水电》2020,(1):181-184,187

为探索不同仿真方法的适用性,对ns=157的单级蜗壳离心泵不同工况的扬程和效率进行定常和非定常计算,并分别分析了定常计算时不同叶片夹角及非定常计算时不同时间步长的影响,通过与实验对比,得到的主要结论有:定常计算仅适用于额定工况外特性仿真,其扬程和效率计算误差分别为4.9%和2.9%,而定常多相位的计算误差分别为7.1%和3.2%;非定常仿真计算时,以4°为时间步长,并间隔20°保存一次计算数据,较好地预测出扬程曲线走势,额定工况扬程和效率计算误差约1.1%和1.8%,但小流量和大流量区间扬程计算误差达到10%左右。因此在水力优化设计时,若只关注高效点位置及其扬程和效率,可采用定常计算,若还关注扬程曲线走势,则应采用非定常计算。  相似文献   

miR-140-3p inhibits viability,invasion and migration of non-small-cell lung cancer A549 cells by targeting PD-L1     

ZHANG Yu-xuan  LI Chun-wei  MAO Wen-hao  ZHU Ke-yan  SHAO Yang-qian  DENG Xiao-ming 《园艺学报》2019,35(1):8-14

AIM: To explore the target relationship between microRNA-140-3p (miR-140-3p) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and their effect on the viability, migration and invasion of non-small-cell lung cancer A549 cells.METHODS: RT-qPCR was used to detect the miR-140-3p expression in HLF-1, A549 and H1299 cells, and then the A549 cells with the most significant difference were selected as the subsequent research object. TargetScan software and dual-luciferase reporter assay were performed to predict and confirm the target relationship between miR-140-3p and PD-L1. RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to determine the effects of miR-140-3p mimic and inhibitor on PD-L1 expression level. MTT assay was used to detect the viability of A549 cells. Transwell assay was performed to detect the migration and invasion abilities of the A549 cells.RESULTS: miR-140-3p was significantly down-regulated in the A549 cells and H1299 cells (P<0.05). Transfection with miR-140-3p mimic decreased the expression of PD-L1 and inhibited the viability, migration and invasion of the A549 cells. Transfection with pcDNA3.0-PD-L1 reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-140-3p on the viability, migration and invasion of the A549 cells.CONCLUSION: miR-140-3p inhibits the viability, migration and invasion of A549 cells by targeting PD-L1.  相似文献
