Data on the behavior of walk-hunters and pointing dogs aids in understanding and managing quail harvest. We collected Global Positioning System track logs and recorded behaviors of hunters and dogs ...on northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) hunts in Oklahoma (n = 43), Texas (n = 43), and Missouri (n = 7), USA, during the 2005–2006 and 2006–2007 hunting seasons. Hunter velocity averaged 0.8 ± 0.03 (SE) m/second both seasons (n = 85) and pooled (95% CL overlap) velocity of bird dogs was 2.5 ± 0.07 (SE) m/second (n = 154). Hunters spent 60.5 ± 2.4% (SE) of their time walking in 2005–2006 (n = 45) versus 75.2 ± 3.5% (SE) in 2006–2007 (n = 48); respective figures for ranging by dogs were 50.2 ± 2.2% (n = 57) versus 82.0 ± 1.3% (SE; n = 97). Mean duration of a hunt declined from 82.3 ± 8.16 (SE) minutes (n = 45) to 50.2 ± 5.1 (SE) minutes (n = 48) between seasons. Variation in bobwhite abundance was the primary cause of seasonal variation in hunter and dog behaviors because covey-associated activities declined as quail abundance declined. With our results and those of previous workers, managers have first-generation estimates of all variables in hunter–covey interface models for managing bobwhite harvest on discrete areas.
This research aims to develop a decision system for diagnosing diseases in dogs from behavior with text mining techniques. To help dog owners to diagnose the disease from the behavior of the pet dog ...in order to be able to recognize the disease that may occur or already occur of the pet dog Measure the accuracy of the data and satisfaction in using the system by using questionnaires as tools Evaluation of accuracy of data with 80 percent accuracy and accuracy in diagnosis is 80 percent accurate

Rabies, a fatal and infectious disease, is still endemic in all regions of Thailand. Domestic dogs are the most common reservoir of the virus. In a practical routine, it has a measure to control a ...disease with a mass vaccination, but operation is not effective due to the large area of operation protocol and difficulty in tracking an infected dog. In order to make a tool to help tracking an epidemic area, this paper presents the implementation of rabies epidemic simulation. The world generation and spatial data are generated from Mapbox SDK in Unity engine. Dog behavior and homerange are determined from a normal distribution and kernel density estimation method. Rabies infected dogs are modeled in SEIR model and their behavior is determined from a normal distribution combined with a factor probability value calculated from the incline and home position. The result shows that the coverage area of epidemic can cover other reported cases with a shorter radius than a vaccination protocol but giving a high RO result due to the dog group sample and unpredictable repeat bite of infected dog.
Na osnovi pretrage psa utvrđeno je da boluje od neuroloških manifestacija poput promjena ponašanja, i to od plašljivosti do bezrazložne agresije. Kliničkim i laboratorijskim nalazima nije utvrđen ...razlog neuroloških manifestacija, ali je poznato da ih hipofunkcija štitne žljezde može uzrokovati. Radom su opisane utvrđene neurološke manifestacije. Da bi se to provjerilo, primijenjen je dijagnostički terapijski postupak te je dan levotiroksinatrij. Nakon njegove primjene izgubile su se neurološke manifestacije u psa, čime je dokazano da su one bile uzrokovane hipotireoidizmom. Rezultat postupka dokazao je da se neurološke manifestacije u pasa mogu suprimirati i kontrolirati adekvatnom primjenom lijeka.

sequence, but failed to continue the series beyond this stage in later tests. A second dog developed what appeared to be an experimental neurosis and failed to achieve ...mastery of the problem. Hunter's hypothesis of a symbolic process is accepted as explanation of the results with the first-mentioned animal.
Dogs and cats tend to show their conditions and desires through their behaviors. In companion animal behavior recognition, behavior data obtained by attaching a wearable device or sensor to a dog’s ...body are mostly used. However, differences occur in the output values of the sensor when the dog moves violently. A tightly coupled RGB time tensor network (TRT-Net) is proposed that minimizes the loss of spatiotemporal information by reflecting the three components (x-, y-, and z-axes) of the skeleton sequences in the corresponding three channels (red, green, and blue) for the behavioral classification of dogs. This paper introduces the YouTube-C7B dataset consisting of dog behaviors in various environments. Based on a method that visualizes the Conv-layer filters in analyzable feature maps, we add reliability to the results derived by the model. We can identify the joint parts, i.e., those represented as rows of input images showing behaviors, learned by the proposed model mainly for making decisions. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is compared to those of the LSTM, GRU, and RNN models. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed TRT-Net method classifies dog behaviors more effectively, with improved accuracy and F1 scores of 7.9% and 7.3% over conventional models.
Devices that release a synthetic analog of the canine-appeasing pheromone can help to relax dogs during stressful situations, but they usually last for only one month. Two new devices with this ...analog were tested by owners of dogs showing signs of stress in a range of everyday situations: Zenidog™ collar, lasting three months, and Zenidog™ diffusing gel, lasting two months (Virbac, Carros, France). They were compared against reference products that last for one month. In the three-month study with collars, one group received Zenidog™ collar, one received the reference collar, and one group of dogs wore an antiparasitic collar alongside a Zenidog™ collar. In the two-month study with diffusers, groups received either the unpowered Zenidog™ gel diffuser or the reference electric diffuser. Owners regularly completed a questionnaire that assessed seventeen general behaviors and sources of fear and eleven specific signs of stress. Global scores for these two main scales were calculated, and the evolution of scores was compared between groups. Non-parametric tests with a Bonferroni correction were used for statistical analysis. An improvement of all global scores was observed in all groups (
< 0.001), including in puppies, and there was no difference between groups. Zenidog™ devices were as effective as the reference devices and lasted longer.
