Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize indications for and clinical outcomes of limb amputation in goats and sheep.
DESIGN Retrospective case series and observational study.
ANIMALS Goats (n = 15) and sheep (7) that underwent partial or complete limb amputation at the University of California-Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital from January 1, 1985, through December 31, 2015.
PROCEDURES Medical records of qualifying goats and sheep were reviewed and data extracted regarding signalment, use of animal, characteristics of the amputated limb, duration of hospitalization, outcome, and surgery-associated complications. The Fisher exact test was performed to compare postsurgical complication rates between various groups.
RESULTS Reasons for limb amputation included trauma (ie, fracture, dog bite, and wire-fence injury) and infectious or degenerative disease (ie, osteomyelitis and osteoarthritis). Median (range) hospitalization period for goats and sheep was 7.5 days (1 to 63 days) and 8 days (3 to 20 days), respectively. Most (7/9) of the postsurgical complications were noticed > 2 months after amputation and included uncoordinated gait, tendon breakdown and laxity of the contralateral limb, chronic lameness, surgical site infection, chronic intermittent pain, and angular limb deformity. No association was identified between postsurgical complication rate in goats and body weight category (< 20 vs ≥ 20 kg [44 lb]), age category (< 2 vs ≥ 2 years), and amputated limb type (forelimb vs hind limb).
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinical outcomes for goats and sheep following limb amputation varied and were seemingly case dependent. Amputation should be considered when preservation of the whole limb is not possible. Veterinarians should advise owners that limb amputation may result in various complications and recommend aftercare treatment such as physiotherapy.

Computer-aided drug design (CADD) has revolutionized the drug discovery arena and it has reduced the costs associated with finding novel compounds which are having pharmaceutical importance. In CADD, the scientists use the computer software to discover biological active compounds. Molecular docking and energy minimization tools are essential components of structure based drug design. It is a significant tool in structural molecular biology and computer-assisted drug design. It reduces the laboratory workload of the end user and allows researchers to restrict their docking studies to the smallest and the most representative set of macromolecules and small molecules possible. This greatly enhances the productivity of researchers. Energy minimization is an important criterion for selecting a potential 3D molecule. In modeled structures, the 3D structure is affected is due to steric clashes. These clashes happen in a protein structure due to the overlap of non bonding atoms and with the assistance of energy minimization, steric clashes can be eradicated. The open software’s and databases provides a platform for scientists and scholars to carry out their research work in a better way. The docking tools are discussed in this review cover protein-ligand, protein-peptide as well as protein-nucleic acid docking. The tools described include AutoDock 4 and Vina, UCSF DOCK, FLIPDock, EADock, HADDOCK 2.2, SwissDock, PatchDock and ClusPro. In addition to the docking tools, energy minimization tools such as YASARA minimization server, KoBaMIN server and 3D refine server have also been discussed. This mini-review concentrates on open software tools which are free of cost and can be easily downloaded in the computers that are useful for CADD.

Authors: Ramesh Mentham , Rao Chandu Babu 
Published: March 2018

The current investigation is intended to evaluate the content of phytochemical constituents and antioxidant potential of hydroalcoholic extracts of stem and root of Grewia serrulata DC (HAESGS & HAERGS) and leaf and bark of Grewia Nervosa (Lour.) panigrahi (HAELGN & HAEBGN). Initially, all the extracts at different concentrations were estimated for their total phenolic content and total flavonoid content. The study was further extended for their antioxidant potential evaluation using various in vitro methods such as 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, hydroxyl radical and superoxide radical scavenging assays. The total phenolic content (mg gallic acid equivalent per gram of extract) was high in HAELGN (170.82±0.19) and HAERGS (123.00±0.48) than HAESGS (111.2±0.26) and HAEBGN (119.60±0.23). The total flavonoid content (mg quercetin equivalent per gram) is greater in HAERGS (71.24±0.50) and HAESGS (65.68±0.27) than HAELGN (55.82±0.35) and HAEBGN (62.38±0.45). The IC50 values (µg/ml) of different plant extracts inferred that DPPH radical scavenging activity is greater in HAELGN (42.91±0.88) and HAEBGN (53.87±0.35) than HAESGS (126.73±1.20) and HAERGS (88.87±1.25). However, hydroxyl and superoxide radical scavenging activity is more in HAERGS (135.41±1.19 & 88.00±1.42) and HAELGN (172.28±1.91 & 108.163±1.09) than HAESGS (237.3±1.65 & 110.074±0.87) and HAEBGN (204.7±1.04 & 125.54±1.07). The results of present comprehensive analysis demonstrated that both the plants Grewia serrulata DC and Grewia Nervosa (Lour.) panigrahi possess high phenolic, flavonoid contents and potential antioxidant activity, and could be used as a valid source of natural antioxidants and might be utilized for pharmacological screening of various therapeutic activities.

Authors: Tozer K.N. , James T.K. , Ferguson C. , Meikle A. 
Published: March 2018

AgPest is a website (www.agpest.co.nz) that provides relevant, up-to-date and independent information on the identification and control of pastoral pests and weeds to support New Zealand farmers and rural professionals with decision making around pest and weed management. In addition, AgPest provides timely advice that will reduce the need for ‘fire-fighting’ decisions, late treatment and, sometimes, pesticide use. The ultimate goal is to reduce the economic impact of pastoral weed control (estimated impact â‰ˆ NZ$ 1.2 billion p.a.) and invertebrate pests (estimated impact â‰ˆ $4.1 billion p.a.) through more targeted management, thereby increasing pasture persistence and productivity.
Since its launch in 2011, AgResearch scientists have added over 100 entries (70 weeds and 32 pests), each with information on the weed or pest biology, management and impact. An identification tool and pictures assist users to rapidly and accurately identify weeds and pests. In collaboration with Beef + Lamb New Zealand, alerts on weeds and pests are disseminated through various social media channels. This provides farmers with timely information that enables a rapid response, which is often critical to minimise the impact of weeds and pests. Key features of AgPest will be displayed.

Abstract
Safety analysis is a major part during licensing a nuclear power plant. This paper presents coupled neutronic thermal-hydraulic calculations for a MOX/UOX mixed core loading of the Westinghouse AP1000 pressurized water reactor concept. Originally, the initial core loading of the reactor has three types of UO2 fuel assemblies with U235 enrichments are: 2.35 w/o, 3.40 w/o and 4.45 w/o. In this paper, it is assumed that one-third of fuel assemblies is replaced by MOX assemblies. The steady state conditions are calculated with the code QUARK. QUARK is a 3D neutronic kinetics code coupled to core thermal hydraulics code. The required cross-section data for QUARK were generated using WIMSD5. The results of the steady state analysis show that both core loading schemes can be used in AP1000 as the safety criteria mentioned in design control document are met.

Authors: Debbarma A. , Pandey K. M. 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Numerical analysis on rewetting of nuclear fuel rod bundle by injecting coolant water in radial jet direction has been performed using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD). CFD-CFX results are compared with experimental data and an investigation is carried out for three ranges of numerical operating conditions (central water flow: 150 lpm, 225 lpm and 300 lpm; sub-cooled coolant: 288 K, 298 K and 308 K; initial wall temperature: 430 K, 500 K and 600 K). It was observed that the rewetting behavior shows an irregular pattern of rewetting progress. Rewetting velocity has got no significance under any operating conditions. The effective numerical response is observed for rewetting temperature and wetting delay. Results show an increase in rewetting temperature, and reduction in wetting delay under higher flow rate, low sub-cooling and lowering the initial wall temperature.
Simulation model for centrifugal pump in flow networks based on internal characteristics
Authors: Sun J.-L. , Xue R.-J. , Peng M.-J. 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
For the simulation of centrifugal pump in flow network system, in general three approaches can be used, the fitting model, the numerical method and the internal characteristics model. The fitting model is simple and rapid thus widely used. The numerical method can provide more detailed information in comparison with the fitting model, but increases implementation complexity and computational cost. In real-time simulations of flow networks, to simulate the condition out of the rated condition, especially for the volume flow rate, which the accuracy of fitting model is incredible, a new method for simulating centrifugal pumps was proposed in this research. The method based on the theory head and hydraulic loss in centrifugal pumps, and cavitation is also to be considered. The simulation results are verified with experimental benchmark data from an actual pump. The comparison confirms that the proposed method could fit the flow-head curves well, and the responses of main parameters in dynamic-state operations are consistent with theoretical analyses.
Analysis of double-ended guillotine break at a direct vessel Injection line of ATLAS
Authors: Tatu A. , Kim J. , Kim T. 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
A double-ended guillotine break at a direct vessel injection line of the ATALS facility has been evaluated with the MARS-KS thermal hydraulic system analysis code. The results are validated against the ATLAS experimental data provided under the First Domestic Standard Problem for Code Assessment (DSP-01) project, indicating that the calculation can generally explain the important phenomena observed in the experiment. The major difference is that the simulation predicts a 2nd peak for the peak cladding temperature, which was not measured during the experiment. Further investigation for the core and downcomer liquid levels reveals that the 2nd peak happens because of incorrect prediction of the downcomer wall temperature caused by the lack of information for heat loss through the downcomer wall in the experiment. This is confirmed by a calculation with the downcomer wall temperature measured at the experiment modeled as a boundary condition. The results with modified downcomer wall boundary conditions show a good prediction of the PCT behavior, indicating that additional heat loss measurements at the downcomer are required for a better understanding of the complex phenomena occurring in the ATLAS downcomer.
