Investigation of a holistic human-computer interaction (HCI) framework to support the design of extended reality (XR) based training simulators
(2021-12)
In recent years, the use of Extended Reality (XR) based simulators for training has increased rapidly. In this context, there is a need to explore novel HCI-based approaches to design more effective 3D training environments. ...
Evaluating the factors that control the growth performance of pigs fed with low protein diets supplemented with a corn-expressed phytase or phytogenic feed additive
(2021-05)
The objective of Study 1 was to assess the effect of a novel corn-expressed phytase (CEP) on growth, nutrients digestibility, bone characteristics, and fecal microbiota of pigs fed with very low-protein, -calcium (Ca) and ...
