Dairy cows enabling circular production systems

The transition towards circular agriculture is about careful management of soil, feed, animals, biodiversity and money, to achieve a near-to-closed-loop system of resources. A tailored breeding approach is an essential building block, to ensure cows’ health, welfare and production in new farming systems related to resource availability. In this study, we defined circular production systems and related cow traits and compared the performance of two types of cows on a dairy farm in the Netherlands that strives to be circular. To define characteristics of circular dairy production systems and breeding goal traits required to transition towards circular production, a workshop was organized with multidisciplinary experts. In this workshop, nine characteristics of circular dairy production systems were defined: flexible, cooperative, efficient without losses, healthy cows, low input without concentrates, extensive nature and landscape, multipurpose, pasture based, and closed. Connecting to these characteristics, cow traits were prioritized which fitted to one or more types of circular dairy production systems, for example, roughage efficiency, grazing behaviour, coping with dietary fluctuations, and environmental footprint. A quick scan was performed at research farm “Knowledge Transfer Centre De Marke”, where innovative measures are designed and tested to minimize nutrient losses to work towards circular farming. The performance and variation in breeding goal traits of two types of cattle was investigated. Half of the in total ninety dairy cows at “De Marke” is of the Holstein Friesian breed, the other half is a three-breed rotational cross (Holstein Friesian, Montbéliarde, and Scandinavian Red cattle), which are managed together. Preliminary analysis on production and reproduction traits indicate that both types of cattle perform well within this extensive farming system. In recent years, the variation within breeding goal traits for Holstein Friesian AI bulls greatly increased and in combination with the implication of genomic selection, this helped to improve longevity and fertility traits. The quick scan highlights the importance of a large pool of genetic variation within or between cattle breeds. This variation will be essential for breeding programs when cows have to perform in a different environment, as will be the case when transitioning towards circular dairy farming.

Research progress on non-volatile memory based storage system

Abstract Non-volatile memory includes both sector-addressable flash memory and byte-addressable persistent memory. Flash memory has advantages like high performance, low energy consumption and light weight compared to hard disk drives, and brings opportunities to high-efficiency storage systems. Byte-addressable persistent memory (e.g., PCM, RRAM etc.) ， on the other hand, has high density over volatile DRAM and enlarges the memory space for multi-core CPUs. However, traditional storage systems fail to fully exploit the benefits of the emerging non-volatile memory. This paper first analyzes the challenges of storage system based on nonvolatile memory, and then discusses the revolutions in terms of storage architecture, system software and distributed protocols for flash memory and persistent memory, respectively. Finally, it points out the open problems for future research on storage systems based on the non-volatile memory. KeywordsKeywords
Capabilities of Conductive Thread Twisted-and-Coiled Actuators Capabilities of Conductive Thread Twisted-and-Coiled Actuators as Sarcomeres as Sarcomeres

Twisted-and-coiled actuators (TCAs) have shown great potential as an artificial muscle for robotics in terms of material cost and production expenses. However, the power-to-force efficiency of these artificial muscles falls short of biological muscles. Soft robotics takes inspiration from biological organisms for more natural movement, and biological mimicry helps increase the efficiency of robotics. Taking inspiration from how sarcomeres are structured in natural muscles, improvements in the energy efficiency of artificial muscles are possible. In this paper, an experiment was designed to analyze the effects on the efficiency of emulating biological sarcomere structures in artificial muscles. Specifically, this experiment used a load cell to capture and compare data between conventional and biological-emulating applications of TCAs under concentric contraction conditions. The experiment used silver-plated sewing thread to fabricate TCAs. While many works have attempted to increase efficiency by changing the material of the TCA, we show that it is also possible to increase efficiency by changing the structure of the TCAs, and the electrical circuit that connects the TCAs. The resulting TCA was approximately seven times as effective as its unchanged counterpart. Additionally, for the same amount of input power, the changed TCA’s contraction is approximately three times as much force as the unchanged TCA. Optimizing the resulting efficiency of this new TCA requires further study of the thermoelectrical properties of the material used for the TCA. Nevertheless, the increased efficiency of changing the structure of the TCA to mimic biological muscles may be worth a new endeavor.

ANALGESIA AFTER SURGERY FOR BREAST TUMOR

Summary The choice of appropriate premedication and anesthetic technique may contribute to better postoperative analgesia. Intensity, frequency of occurrence, quality and duration of pain differ regarding the type of surgery: extent, site and duration of surgical procedure. They also depend on the patient's psychological profile, his perioperative psychological and physiological adaptation and the quality of postoperative procedures. Pain after mastectomy and evacuation of axillary lymph nodes is classified as moderate in nearly half of the patients, however, 10-30% of them may experience severe pain. In the management of postoperative pain, opioid and nonopiod analgesics are used. Poorly treated pain after surgery may be considered a significant factor for increased morbidity and mortality resulting in a protracted hospital stay and, subsequently, increased treatment costs. The intensity of chronic pain, that might occur in a form of phatnom pain in the chest, shoulder and upper arm region following breast surgery, greatly depends on good surgical technique, successful management of acute postoperative pain, and well-performed radiotherapy, chemotherapy and physical therapy. Prolon-ged pain with adverse effects on the respiratory, cardiocirculatory and neuroendocrine function, may lead to psychological disorders, i.e. depression, and produce long-term effects in the central and peripheral nervous system. Pain therapy should therefore be included in a so-called multimodal concept of postoperative rehabilitation.
Evaluation of spruce beetle in the Blue Joe Creek drainage, Bonners Ferry Ranger District, Idaho Panhandle National Forests, 1981

41 • degree by the building spruce beetle epidemic. The current infestation is a result of large amounts of spruce blowdown which apparently occurred in the drainage during both 1978 and 1979. Presently two areas, totaling slightly more than 200 acres, are the most seriously affected. Other smaller groups are also infested. In addition, scattered mortality can be found in much of the spruce type throughout the remainder of the drainage.
Integrating Sustainability in ELT

Concern over sustainability is rising to the surface. It has lately taken center stage as a growing number of people understand how what were formerly considered normal, unsustainable activities in life have depleted our planet’s resources and ripped society. As people lose touch with those two, the earth is forced to bear the consequences of local and global catastrophes. The planet is entering the Anthropocene epoch, which is thought to have begun with the Indus-trial Revolution when humans surpassed animals as the dominant force in the natural environment. In a nutshell, sustainability refers to the capacity of current generations to meet their own needs without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to do the same themselves. Three pillars characterize sustainability: the environment, society, and the economy, which are generally referred to as the 3Ps: Planet, People, and Proﬁts (Planet, People, and Proﬁts). This paper is discussed in three sections: 1) Education for Sustainability (EfS), 2) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and 3) Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The topic of sustainability is vital, and it should be addressed as an inherent element of education, particularly in language education such as ELT. The students learn something and become the agents of change for making the world a better place to live by integrating sustainability into their learning.
Changing Sources of Growth in Indian Agriculture: Implications for Regional Priorities for Accelerating Agricultural Growth

Indian agriculture was transforming from a cereal-based production system toward high-value crops (HVC) during the 1990s. However, food security concerns resurfaced during the first decade of the 21st century, and the policy environment tilted in favor of cereal-based production systems, especially rice and wheat. This paper revisits an earlier study to evaluate how the policy shift influences the patterns and the sources of agricultural growth in India and assesses their implications for regional priorities for higher, more sustainable, and more inclusive agricultural growth.
Convex Duality and Cutting Plane Methods for Over-parameterized Neural Networks

We develop a convex analytic framework for ReLU networks and study their function space characteristics. We show that the optimal parameters of two layer over-parameterized networks can be described as extreme points of a certain convex set. For one dimensional regression, our theory explains why ReLU networks yield linear spline interpolation. In higher dimensions, we show that the training problem can be cast as a convex optimization problem with inﬁnitely many constraints. We then provide convex relaxations to approximate the solution, and a cutting-plane algorithm to improve the relaxations
Personalized explanation in machine learning: A conceptualization.

Explanation in machine learning and related fields such as artificial intelligence aims at making machine learning models and their decisions understandable to humans. Existing work suggests that personalizing explanations might help to improve understandability. In this work, we derive a conceptualization of personalized explanation by defining and structuring the problem based on prior work on machine learning explanation, personalization (in machine learning) and concepts and techniques from other domains such as privacy and knowledge elicitation. We perform a categorization of explainee data used in the process of personalization as well as describing means to collect this data. We also identify three key explanation properties that are amendable to personalization: complexity, decision information and presentation. We also enhance existing work on explanation by introducing additional desiderata and measures to quantify the quality of personalized explanations.

Journal of Pediatric Sciences Aspiration of a Castor Oil Seed masquerading as Laryngeal Diphtheria in an Infant

: Foreign body aspiration in children often remains undetected because of misleading clinical findings. Young age and absence of the history of an aspiration episode may lead to a delayed diagnosis. A 6-month-old unimmunized boy presented with sudden onset low grade fever, aphonia and respiratory distress for 7 days. He was clinically diagnosed as a case of diphtheria and was treated accordingly. X-ray of neck and chest were normal. Direct laryngoscopy showed a brownish white membrane completely covering the vocal cords along with small punctate bleeding spots in the surrounding laryngeal wall. Thinking of a possibility of laryngeal diphtheria vs. any mass lesion in vocal cord he was posted for laryngoscopic examination under general anesthesia but before the procedure, he coughed out an oval shaped brownish white mass which was actually a thorny seed of castor oil. Though high incidence of diphtheria in the community, absence of a history of immunization and aspiration of a foreign body, radiolucent nature of the seed and young age of the patient favored the diagnosis of diphtheria, a high level of suspicion and constant vigil over clinical progress is necessary for the physician to prevent delayed diagnosis and subsequent complications.
An Analysis of Mental State Verbs in Children with Hearing Loss An Analysis of Mental State Verbs in Children with Hearing Loss

Mental state verbs (MSV) require unique cognitive and linguistic knowledge compared to lower level function words (Shatz et al., 1983). These cognitive and linguistic demands are thought to be difficult for children with hearing loss (CHL) due to deficits in word learning (Werfel, 2017; Lund, 2016), limited depth of vocabulary knowledge (Walker et al., 2018) and deficits in complex syntax (Werfel et al., 2021). The present study recruited 73 preschool children (23 CHL-CI, 22 CHL-HA and 28 CNH) to participate. Our analysis examined the frequency, lexical diversity and use of MSV within required complex syntax structures.
Tourism and indigenous peoples : issues and implications

Tourism and Indigenous Peoples is a unique text examining the role of indigenous societies in tourism and how they interact within the tourism nexus. Unlike other publications, this text focuses on the active role that indigenous peoples take in the industry, and uses international case studies and experiences to provide a global context to illustrate best practice and aid comparison. First published over ten years ago the editors, Butler and Hinch, have thoroughly revised and updated the text to bring together a new collection of contributions and case studies from recognised international authors and those with first hand experiences in this area. Divided into five main sections, the text looks at this topic under the following headings: Involvement: Uses case studies to discuss and compare such as 'campfire' programmes in east Africa, and the employment of indigenous peoples as guides, amongst other cases, Turbulence: Host guest relationships, conflicts on communities and contrasting strategies and results of tourism in indigenous villages in South Africa. Issues: Discusses issues such as authenticity, religious beliefs and managing indigenous tourism in a fragile environment. Progress: Looks at tourism education, tourism and cultural survival and examples of the policy and practice of indigenous tourism. Conclusions: Five contributions from indigenous people on North America, Australasia and Europe to discuss implications and experiences. Each section uses international case studies from, for example, Australia, New Zealand, Nepal, Namibia, Thailand, Saudi Arabia and South America.

In silico characterization and expression profiles of zinc transporter-like (LOC100037509) gene of tomato

Zinc (Zn) is an essential microelement for plants. ZIP transporters play a critical role in Zn homeostasis in plants. This in silico study characterizes different features of putative Zn transporter of tomato (Solyc07g065380) and its homologs. A total of 10 ZIP protein homologs were identified across nine plant species by protein BLAST. All these ZIP protein homologs located at chromosome 7 showed 305-350 amino acid residues, 7-8 transmembrane helices, and stable instability index. Further, these ZIP protein homologs are localized in the plasma membrane at the subcellular level corresponding to the ZIP zinc transporter (PF02535) domain. Gene organization analysis reveals the presence of 3 exon along with the position of the promoter, TATA-box, transcriptional start site, and splice sites in these ZIP transporter homologs, in which tomato ZIP transporter (NM_001247420.1) contains a promoter, TATA-box, transcriptional start site at 500, 911 and 946 bp, respectively along with several splice sites, which may be useful for targeting binding sites and transcription factor analysis. Further, the cutting sites and restriction enzymes of each ZIP gene homologs might be helpful for future transgenic studies underlying Zn homeostasis. MEMO displayed five conserved motifs associated with the ZIP zinc transporter, N-glycosylation site, and phosphorylation site. Phylogenetic studies reveal a close relationship of Solyc07g065380 with Solanum pennellii homolog, while ZIP transporter of Nicotiana sylvestris and Nicotiana tabacum predicted to be in close connection. The Solyc07g065380 transporter is predominantly linked to several uncharacterized zinc metal ion transporters and expressed in diverse anatomical part, developmental stage, and subjected to pathogen and heat stress. The secondary structural prediction reveals unique signal peptide in the ZIP protein homologs of S. lycopersicum and S. pennellii along with extended alpha-helix. These bioinformatics analyses might provide essential background to perform wet-lab experiments and to understand Zn homeostasis for the development of Zn-biofortified crops. Key message ♦ ZIP protein homologs are localized in the plasma membrane and are linked to ZIP zinc transporter (PF02535) domain at chromosome 7. ♦ ZIP protein motifs are associated with the ZIP zinc transporter, N-glycosylation site, and phosphorylation site. ♦ Phylogenetic studies reveal a closet relationship of Solyc07g065380 with Solanum pennellii homolog. ♦ ZIP protein homologs of S. lycopersicum and S. pennellii show unique signal peptide along with extended alpha-helix.
Développement financier et croissance économique : études théoriques et applications sur l'UEMOA et la CEDEAO

Dans cette these, nous etudions empiriquement les liens de causalite, au sens de Granger, entre le developpement financier et la croissance economique dans le cadre de l'UEMOA et de la CEDEAO. La plupart des etudes dans ce domaine sont realisees dans les domaine temporel. Ici, nous associons les domaines temporel et frequentiel par l'utilisation de modeles multivectoriels autoregressifs. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons la methode de decomposition de Geweke (1982, 1984) amelioree par Chen et al. (2008) afin d'obtenir, en plus des relations causales temporelles et frequentielles, les causalites instantanees et la dependance. Cette these apporte aussi une contribution theorique en proposant une methode de calcul des p-values plus adaptee aux echantillons de petite taille. Les applications portent d'abord sur les relations causales entre finance et croissance dans les domaines temporel et spectral. Ensuite, nous examinons l'influence de l'inflation sur ces relations. Enfin, nous etudions les relations causales entre croissance et Investissements Directs Etrangers (IDE) conditionnellement au developpement financier et a l'ouverture economique.
