3 Qinghua: The First Joint Experiment

Eight breeding companies contributed foundation stock for a joint experiment on lean growth at the Animal Breeding Research Organisation (ABRO) and Wye College. All animals were test-mated to halothane positive (HP) reactors and incidences of HP reaction among progeny were used to estimate the frequency of the halothane gene (n) in the original herds. Estimated incidences of HP were compared with those observed in an earlier 1979 survey.260 British Landrace (LR) were test-mated to HP (expected nn) LR at Wye, and 186 Large White (LW), including 18 boars standing at national AI centres, were test-mated to HP LR, Pietrain-Hampshire or LR x (LW x Norwegian Landrace) at ABRO.Offspring were given a 4-minute halothane test at an average age of 50 days in LW and 76 days in LR. Numbers tested and incidences of reaction are shown in Table 1. Herds are coded ‘A’ to ‘I’ for anonymity. Purebred LR in herds A, C, D, E, H and I were halothane testec in advance and only halothane negatives (HN) were supplied for test-mating.

Mental Tests

In the tenth Maudsley Lecture a plan was put forward by Prof. Spearman for conducting a large-scale research in psychiatry. The proposal was that many mental hospitals might co-operate in a joint experiment. Psychiatrists would give their psychiatrical and physiological accounts of selected patients; and psychologists would apply specially prepared clinical mental tests to these same patients. The mass material from many hospitals was to be collocated in order to see, as Prof. Spearman says, “what goes with what, and what follows what.”

An important discipline in biomedical science is the repair of damaged organs by in vitro cultured differentaited stem cells. This article evaluates an article in this field, entitled "The complexity of joint regeneration", by Diloloksumpan et al. (2021), who described a regeneration experiment of artificial damage of the joint of ponies. The experiment failed an I describe the possible cause of this failure by discussing the design of the experiment in the light of J.S.Mill's Method of Difference, published in 1848. I continue with a discussion of the concept of complexity that was introduced by the authors of the paper, by pointing out that three types of complexity may be distinguished; one of these is complicatedness which characterizes the assumed complexity of the joint experiment. I propose that this complicatedness can be solved by the use of the method of difference.

Abstract Measuring the motions of human hand joints is often a challenge due to the high number of degrees of freedom. In this study, we proposed a hand tracking system utilizing action cameras and ArUco markers to continuously measure the rotation angles of hand joints. Three methods were developed to estimate the joint rotation angles. The pos-based method transforms marker positions to a reference coordinate system (RCS) and extracts a hand skeleton to identify the rotation angles. Similarly, the orient-x-based method calculates the rotation angles from the transformed x-orientations of the detected markers in the RCS. In contrast, the orient-mat-based method first identifies the rotation angles in each camera coordinate system using the detected orientations, and then, synthesizes the results regarding each joint. Experiment results indicated that the repeatability errors with one camera regarding different marker sizes were around 2.64 to 27.56 degrees and 0.60 to 2.36 degrees using the marker positions and orientations respectively. When multiple cameras were employed to measure the joint rotation angles, the angles measured by using the three methods were comparable with that measured by a goniometer. Despite larger deviations occurred when using the pos-based method. Further analysis indicated that the results of using the orient-mat-based method can describe more types of joint rotations, and the effectiveness of this method was verified by capturing hand movements of several participants. Thus it is recommended for measuring joint rotation angles in practical setups.
