Subacute Ruminal Acidosis in Dairy Herds: Physiology, Pathophysiology, Milk Fat Responses, and Nutritional Management

Ruminal acidosis is the consequence of feeding high grain diets to ruminant animals, which are adapted to digest and metabolize predominantly forage diets. Feeding diets that are progressively higher in grain tends to increase milk production, even in diets containing up to 75% concentrates. However, short-term gains in milk production are often substantially or completely negated by long-term compromises in cow health when high grain diets are fed.
Entrapment of Rigid Triprong Stone Removal Forceps During Ureteroscopy: A Nightmare for Urologist!

Ureteric injuries during ureteroscopic removal of ureteric stones are not rare, though injury by triprong forceps has not yet been reported. The objective behind this presentation is that, the urologist must be aware of the types of problems that may arise, the way these problems can be prevented, and the type of treatment required if an injury occurs. We report two cases of ureteric injuries caused by triprong stone removal forceps. One injury was due to spontaneous dismantling of triprong assembly while catching the stone fragment, while the second one was due to entrapment and disassembly of triprong forceps containing the stone fragment within. Both cases were managed by gentle and meticulous removal of triprong forceps’ dismantled parts endoscopically followed by prolonged Double J (DJ) stenting. Fortunately neither of them sustained any major ureteric injury except minimal mucosal abrasions. Both cases were followed up with DJ stent removal and retrograde pyelography, which showed normal ureteric caliber without any narrowing or dilatations. Patients were asymptomatic in follow-up period. Though infrequent, surgical misadventures during stone removal can occur. Careful attention to instrument selection and surgical techniques are helpful to reduce these complications.
Domain Adaptation using Word Embeddings for Word Sense Disambiguation

In this paper, we propose domain adaptation using word embeddings for word sense disambiguation (WSD). The validity for WSD of word embeddings derived from a huge corpus such as Wikipedia had already been shown, but their validity in a domain adaptation framework has not been previously discussed. If word embeddings are valid in this new context, the impact of the document type of the corpora on WSD is still unknown. Therefore, we investigate the performances of domain adaptation in WSD using word embeddings from the source, target and general corpora and examine (1) whether the word embeddings are valid for domain adaptation of WSD and (2) if they are, the eﬀects of the document type of the corpora from which the word embeddings are derived. We used three corpora of distinct document types and performed domain adaptation experiments using the document types as the domains. The experiments, conducted using Japanese corpora, revealed that the accuracy of WSD was highest when we used the word embeddings obtained from the target corpora together with a general corpora.
SMON as seen from Bombay.

: Clioquinol is still consumed in India in considerable amounts but no new case reports have appeared since 1977. A review is made for a regional neurotoxicology group of an enquiry that we conducted in Bombay to gather information regarding SMON, spanning the period of 1967 to 1976. Nine patients were diagnosed with a variable degree of confidence as suffering from SMON, two from a retrospective search and seven after a prospective watch for the disease. Myelopathy with predominant more distal dysesthesia was seen more often than the full-blown picture of SMON. The peripheral neuropathy component (N) diagnosed clinically or electrophysiologically was seen only once. Pyramidal tract disturbances and resulting spasticity was as striking as posterior column disorder and sensory ataxia. Subacute myelopathy was seen in six patients, optico-myelopathy in two, and myeloneuropathy only once. It was clear that clioquinol has potential neurotoxicity, but no definitive explanation was forthcoming about the vast difference in the prevalence of SMON as reported from Japan and seen by us in Bombay.
Fine grained recognition of masonry walls for built heritage assessment

This paper presents the ground work carried out to achieve automatic fine grained recognition of stone masonry. This is a necessary first step in the development of the analysis tool. The built heritage that will be assessed consists of stone masonry constructions and many of the features analysed can be characterized according to the geometry and arrangement of the stones. Much of the assessment is carried out through visual inspection. Thus, we apply image processing on digital images of the elements under inspection. The main contribution of the paper is the performance evaluation of the automatic categorization of masonry walls from a set of extracted straight line segments. The element chosen to perform this evaluation is the stone arrangement of masonry walls. The validity of the proposed framework is assessed on real images of masonry walls using machine learning paradigms. These include classifiers as well as automatic feature selection.
Prognostic Value of the Modified Atherogenic Index of Plasma during Body Mass Reduction in Polish Obese/Overweight People

Although weight loss is recommended for obese patients, it remains questionable how much weight loss is optimal. A novel index that accurately determines the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in terms of weight loss is needed. The modified Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP), presented here is unique in the literature. It is calculated based on data for anti-atherogenic, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) fractions, instead of the total HDL-C. This study investigates whether weight loss correlates with CVD risk, and whether the modified AIP allows more accurate diagnostics in obese/overweight people. According to the increase or decrease of AIP during weight loss, 52 Polish patients were subdivided into two groups: group I (increased AIP; n = 16) and group II (decreased AIP; n = 36). The patients' body mass composition and fasting serum lipid parameters (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, and LDL-C (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol)), and cholesterol in 21 lipoprotein sub-fractions were determined. Over six months, all patients reduced their body mass by about 10%. There were no significant differences in anthropometric measures between groups. Increases in large and intermediate HDL-C fractions 1 to 6 and decreases in smaller fractions 7 to 10 were observed in group II. In group I, HDL-C fractions 1 and 10 decreased, while cholesterol in other fractions increased. Increases were observed in the antiatherogenic HDL-C of 52% of group II and 4% of group I. As for atherogenic HDL-C, a decrease of 24% was observed in group II and an increase of 9% in group I. In group I, increases of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and large LDL fractions were noticed, and the reverse in group II. The results show that the modified AIP is a more accurate indicator of CVD risk than existing indices, and that uncontrolled weight reduction does not necessarily have a beneficial influence, and may adversely affect the cardiovascular system.
Motivation aspects in teaching multivariable control

In the paper some ideas of studying multivariable control design is presented and illustrated through hierarchically structured project example. Introduced hierarchy enables students some freedom in choosing between different possibilities of studying and passing the examination. This freedom seems suitable for the lectures near the end of the study when students posses enough basic knowledge from the field. On the other hand this kind of work can motivate them to continue the project in different directions as for example some student's competition or even diploma.

Abstract 1520: Molecular Basis of Repolarization Reserve Differences between Dogs and Man

Dog models are often used for clinically related electrophysiology research, but their appropriateness and limitations are unclear. This study compared repolarization reserve and its molecular basis in dogs vs humans. Rapid (I Kr ) and slow (I Ks ) delayed rectifier and inward rectifier (I K1 ) K + currents were measured in cardiomyocytes from normal dog and human tissue-donor hearts. I K1 , I Kr and I Ks blocking effects on action potential duration (APD) were studied on human and dog papillary muscle preparations. Gene expression was measured by real time PCR. I Kr densities were similar in dog and man (0.37±0.03 pA/pF vs 0.29±0.05 pA/pF, P=ns). I K1 was ~3-fold greater in canine vs human cells (eg at −60 mV: 1.72±0.07 pA/pF vs 0.65±0.1 pA/pF*; n=21–28, *P Ks was ~4-fold greater in dog cardiomyocytes (eg at ~40 mV: 0.72±0.11 pA/pF vs human 0.18±0.03 pA/pF*, n=10–15). I K1 inhibition (Ba 2 + ) marginally increased APD in humans (by 4.8 ± 1.5 %) but caused larger increases in dogs (17.9 ± 2.1 %*). In contrast, I Kr inhibition caused remarkable APD prolongation in humans (44 ± 4 %) versus dogs (16 ± 2 %*). I K1 -inhibition potentiated APD-prolonging actions of I Kr -blockade more in dogs (APD-increase augmented by 55%) than in humans (APD-increase enhanced by 33%) and I Ks -inhibition enhanced APD-prolonging actions of I Kr -blockade more in dogs (APD-increase augmented by 20%) than in humans (APD-increase enhanced by 9%), confirming the role of I K1 and I Ks in limiting I Kr -blocking effects in dogs. Kir2.1 subunit mRNA was significantly more abundant in dog compared to human (by ~4 fold), while Kir2.2, Kir2.3, Kir2.4, the I Kr -subunit ERG and I to -subunits (Kv1.4, Kv4.3 and KChIP2) were expressed at similar levels. One I Ks -related gene (KvLQT1) was similarly expressed, while minK was more abundant (~ 7-fold) in dogs than humans. Smaller I K1 and I Ks , possibly due to differential expression of the I K1 β-subunit Kir2.1 and the I Ks β-subunit minK, limit repolarization reserve and exaggerate APD-prolongation by I Kr -block in humans compared to dogs. These findings provide insights into species-specific determinants of responses to repolarization stress and are relevant to relating findings in dog studies to clinical phenomena in man.
Singularities, Normal Forms, and Motion Planning for Non-holonmic Robotic Systems

We address the motion planning problem in non-holonomic robotic systems using the tools of control theory. To this objective we associate with the robotic system a control-affine system. The derivative of the end-point map of this control system defines the Jacobian of the robotic system. Control functions at which the Jacobian is not surjective are referred to as singular configurations of the robotic system. As a description of these singularities we propose normal forms under feedback of the associated control system. On the basis of the Jacobian we introduce Jacobian motion planning algorithms. Special attention is paid to Lagrangian Jacobian algorithms. As an illustration of theoretical concepts we analyse normal forms, singularities, and motion planning for a free-floating space manipulator. A motion planning problem is solved by a Lagrangian Jacobian motion planning algorithm and, alternatively, by a sinusoidal control applied to the normal form. Results of computations show the performance of the two algorithms.
MULTIPLE CHANNEL COHERENT AMPLITUDE MODULATED (AM) TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING (TDM) SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO (SDR) RECEIVER

OF THESIS MULTIPLE CHANNEL COHERENT AMPLITUDE MODULATED (AM) TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING (TDM) SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO (SDR) RECEIVER It is often required in communication and navigation systems to be able to receive signals from multiple stations simultaneously. A common practice to do this is to use multiple hardware resources; a different set of resources for each station. In this thesis, a Coherent Amplitude Modulated (AM) receiver system was developed based on Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology enabling reception of multiple signals using hardware resources needed only for one station. The receiver system architecture employs Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) to share the single hardware resource among multiple streams of data. The architecture is designed so that it can be minimally modified to support any number of stations. The Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL) was used to capture the receiver system architecture and design. The design and architecture are initially validated using HDL post-synthesis and post-implementation simulation. In addition, the receiver system architecture and design were implemented to a Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology prototyping board for experimental testing and final validation.
A H∞ PIε D-Based Observer Designed by LMI for Some Special System

This paper considers the problems of observing system states of some special system and proposes a novel $H\infty $ proportional–integral–derivative ( $PI^{\varepsilon }D$ )-based observer designed by linear matrix inequality (LMI). First, an augmented system is designed to ensure the asymptotic stability of the system with the $H\infty $ -based $PI^{\varepsilon }D$ observer. Then, the proportional, integral, and derivative gains of $PI^{\varepsilon }D$ observer are designed based on $H\infty $ synthesis. Finally, the $H\infty $ synthesis problem is translated into LMI, and through solving the LMI, the proposed observer can ensure the performance of $H\infty $ . The observation of vehicle longitudinal tire force is followed as an example, whose closed-loop system with traditional PID observer could not guarantee asymptotic stability. Both simulation and experimental results illustrate the great performance of the proposed observer.
Refining WZ rate estimation in DVC with feedback channel constraints

Distributed video coding (DVC) has attracted a lot of attention during the past decade as a new solution for video compression where the computationally most intensive operations are performed by the decoder instead of by the encoder. One very important issue in many current DVC solutions is the use of a feedback channel from the decoder to the encoder for the purpose of determining the rate of the coded stream. The use of such a feedback channel is not only impractical in storage applications but even in streaming scenarios feedback-channel usage may result in intolerable delays due to the typically large number of requests for decoding one frame. Instead of reverting to a feedback-free solution by adding complexity to the encoder for performing encoder-side rate estimation, as an alternative, in previous work we proposed to incorporate constraints on feedback channel usage. To cope better with rate fluctuations caused by changing motion characteristics, in this paper we propose a refined approach exploiting information available from already decoded frames at other temporal layers. The results indicate significant improvements for all test sequences (using a GOP of length four).

The Optimized Link State Routing Protocol

Urethane prepolymer compositions are made from 1-isocyanato-3-isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethyl cyclohexane and polyols at a total NCO to OH ratio of at least 1.2:1, and the prepolymers are reacted with cycloaliphatic polyamines to give urea-urethanes. The urea-urethanes can be formed as films such as coatings on a substrate or as indpendent sheets or the urea-urethanes can be formed materials of greater thickness. The products exhibit good strength, high resistance to the discoloring effects of ultraviolet light, elastomeric and other desirable properties. Often the urea-urethane is prepared in solution but this may not be the procedure where the urethane prepolymer and polyamine are combined and more or less immediately placed in the desired form as a film or other article such as is done using a two component spray gun.
Usability and game design : improving the MITAR Game Editor

Creating MIT Augmented Realty (MITAR) games can be a daunting task. MITAR game designers require a usable game editor to simplify this process. The MITAR Game Editor was the first editor to provide game designers with the means to effectively create MITAR games, however, there were several areas that needed improvement. This motivated the development of several other incarnations of MITAR editor, each with its own unique usability strengths. However, these editors haven't seen much use by the game designers, and so much of the usability research that went into their development has gone to waste. In this project a new MITAR editor, the Full Editor, was developed. It combines the most usable portions of the newer editors together with the features of the original Game Editor into one game development solution. In addition, the Full Editor also introduces a new feature, the Flow View, which increases its usability further. Heuristic analysis and informal testing suggest that the Full Editor is a highly usable MITAR editor that will replace the Game Editor as the primary development platform for MITAR games.

Fast Fourier Transform for high speed OFDM wireless multimedia system

Future Wireless multimedia systems require higher data rate and robust transmission of information. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is being actively considered for the potential candidate for the next generation wireless communication systems. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is one of the key building blocks to implement OFDM transceiver systems. Thus its efficient implementation is desirable. In this paper, principles of OFDM are described. FFT computational requirements for this emerging technology for wireless multimedia systems are identified. The corresponding VLSI design options for FFT implementations to meet these requirements are presented. Trade offs between hardware footprint, speed, and power are analyzed. An alternative FFT realization is considered where constant geometry architecture with pipelining and parallel processing is used. In this realization, the architecture of each FFT stage is identical. As a result, the hardware implementation for one stage can be repeatedly used, i.e. the outputs of an FFT stage are fed back to the same hardware. In addition, it is shown that, while a ROM is employed to store the twiddle factors, memory access requirement is eliminated. This approach is promising to meet the high-speed FFT requirements for this application.
Relation between a Book Review Content and Its Rating

While millions of products and services are consumed everyday, consumers may share their experiences by posting a review on the Web. A review usually consists of paragraphs of text. Readers wishing to learn details may choose to read the textual description. In many reviews, a product rating is also provided. Such rating might appear simply as a number of stars, a list of adjectives (excellent, good, poor, etc) to choose from. Readers may quickly look at those ratings, just to get a rough idea about the tone of the reviews. This research aims to discover the relation between a product review content and its rating. Specifically, different parts of speech in the review text are analyzed and used to predict the rating. Some classification algorithms are employed as discovery tools. Data used for this study in particular is a number of book reviews from amazon.com's Books department. Keywords-text analysis; text mining; opinion mining; book review; product review I. INTRODUCTION A. Hypothesis When a person is considering buying a product, he often seeks related information from sources including a review. A review is usually in the form of a textual description, though many come with pictures or video clips. A number of review formats also contain some kind of reviewer's rating of the product, to summarize the reviewer's overall opinion, and for reader's convenience of a quick glance. Examples of such rating might be a star rating of 1-5, as seen in Fig. 1, a list of descriptive adjectives (excellent, good, fair, poor, etc). This research studies the relation between a review's textual content and its rating. Specifically, a hypothesis is that different parts of speech in the text can help predict the product's rating.
