Success can be defined in so many different ways. If you don’t believe me, just Google “What Does Success Look Like” and see how many different opinions you get.
In my humble opinion, success ultimately comes down to how you define it in your own mind. It may be based on financial targets, career progression, work-life balance, family, health, your golf game score, or a combination of any of these plus many more variables that we don’t have time to explore.
Is diamine oxidase, which is an indicator for disease assessment in diarrheal calves, influenced by the serum copper concentration?

Diarrhea remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in beef calves. Calf diarrhea is problematic because it reduces productivity at the production site.
In the healthy state, the intestinal villi absorb water and glucose, but when the intestinal epithelium is impaired diarrhea develops, and damage to intestinal villi reduces productivity. It is known that diamine oxidase (DAO) is produced by mucosal epithelial cells of the small intestine and is involved in the control of cell proliferation. Therefore, DAO activity has been used as a biomarker of intestinal villi status. However, as DAO is a copper (Cu)-containing enzyme, it may be reduced by copper deficiency. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the serum DAO activity level and Cu concentration in diarrheal calves, and to examine whether DAO can be used to evaluate the pathological condition of diarrhea without being affected by the serum copper concentration. In addition, we examined the sequential changes in serum DAO activity in healthy calves according to the days after birth.
Job, career or calling
Authors: Rooker Eric J. 
Published: February 2023

Our current job market identifies 3 distinct groups when studying an employee’s career development goals: the job, the career, or the calling. Every employee fits into one of these categories regardless of age, gender, tenure or skill. Experts have identified an equal 3-way split between said groups, with one-third of employees representing each group.
As employers, it is our job to identify an employee’s position in these groupings and engage them accordingly. While some employees will be content to remain within their current grouping, others, if presented with appropriate guidance, can be motivated to progress upward through the groups. Our goal as employers is to help the employee succeed in this mission.
To assist with this mission, a system known as “Job Crafting” can be utilized. Job crafting is the use of an autonomy technique which encourages self-management; this means the employee creates a job description that is personalized to their strengths and interests. This design yields a more engaged employee as well as improved job satisfaction, which in turn potentiates the progression from a job, to a career and finally to a calling.
contemporary look at performance evaluation
Authors: Oster Kurt A. 
Published: February 2023

One of my favorite mentors would frequently tell me to look through the windshield, not in the rear-view mirror. He liked to focus his team on what was in front of us and where we were heading, rather than spending time rehashing where we had already been. I think that is a great metaphor for the career dialogue that tends to look at employee performance with an eye on the future, rather than an anchor to the past.
Around 2015, cutting-edge businesses began ditching their annual performance reviews in favor of continuous performance dialogues. Within just a few short years, almost every Fortune 500 company adopted this new approach to performance management.
How did this new trend take over so quickly? The easy answer is that everyone hated the old process! Managers invested a lot of time in a process that yielded very little positive return. Employees felt undervalued and demotivated. Thus, a process that was supposed to improve employee performance, productivity and engagement was having exactly the opposite impact on your practice team. Learn how transitioning to an easier, more enjoyable process can yield more positive results for everyone and tips for implementing it in your practice.
Buying into a practice
Authors: Brinson Patrick 
Published: February 2023

Buying into a practice can be a scary proposition, but by doing 3 things you can set yourself up for success both professionally and financially. Upon graduating veterinary school, we have been consistently trained to use our left brain much more than our right. As we transition from mastering technical skills involved in routine bovine practice into more of a managerial or leadership role, we must grow and practice using our right brain. It is vital to first build a solid foundation as an associate based on work ethic, communication, and selflessness. Practicing leadership, reading to absorb new ideas and information, and learning from your colleagues and mentors is a great place to start.
After deciding that you are a good cultural fit and would like to purchase a practice, you must have an accurate valuation based on the true profitability of the business, complete a feasibility analysis, and create a buy-in/buy-out agreement that is fair for both sides of the transaction. The holy grail of practice ownership is that you are acquiring equity while having the business actually pay for your buy-in.
Bull breeding soundness and cryopreservation of semen
Authors: Armstrong Chance 
Published: February 2023

The Society for Theriogenology (SFT) adopted the current form for the bull breeding soundness evaluation (BSE) in 2018. The BSE consists of four parts: a physical exam, a minimal scrotal circumference by the age of the bull, minimum progressive motility of 30%, and minimum morphology of 70% normal cells. A bull deemed to be a satisfactory potential breeder should unequivocally meet or exceed these four requirements. These standards as set forth by the SFT, give the veterinar­ian an objective approach to evaluating a bull. It has been said that “rarely are bulls infertile, but there are a lot of sub-fertile bulls”. Identification of these sub-fertile bulls by veterinarians, allows cattle producers to negate a potential negative impact on the overall productivity of the herd due to poor reproductive efficiency.
Each part of the exam should be of equal importance to the vet­erinarian and no part should be omitted if an accurate assess­ment of the bull is to be determined. Carson et al in review of BSE trends for the past 20 years, deemed that overwhelmingly the most common cause of unsatisfactory or deferred classi­fication of bulls was due to unacceptable semen morphology. The preparation and interpretation of the morphology slide must be proficient and consistent for the results of the exam to be valid.
The challenges that food animal practitioners encounter re­garding remaining relevant in the livestock industry continue to surface, and the profession must find means to maintain their position in a changing world. Promoting ourselves as ex­perts and the benefits of a professional exam by a veterinarian are essential to suppressing emerging imitators that provide a mediocre version of this exam sometimes referred to as the “se­men check”.
Statistical evaluation of snow accumulation and depletion from remotely sensed MODIS snow time series data using the SARIMA model

Published: February 2023

AbstractIn the remote and challenging terrain of the Himalayan region, accurate measurement of cyclic snow accumulation and depletion is a significant challenge. To overcome this, an attempt has been made in the present study by applying a statistical analysis of MODIS snow time series data with the Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model from 2003 to 2018 over the Beas river basin. The Box–Jenkins methodology of forecasting is based on the identification using seasonality, stationarity, ACF, and PACF plots; and estimation based on maximum likelihood techniques; and the last diagnostic checking based on the residual and error values have been used. Later, forecasting models have been proposed separately for the snow accumulation period (October–February) as (1,1,1) (0,1,3)19 and for the snow depletion period (March–September) as (1,1,1) (1,1,2)27 after calibration of the data (2003–2015) and the same were then validated using data (2016–2018). The accuracy assessment of the models has been checked using performance criteria like AIC, MSE, and RSS. The comparison of the forecasting models with the observed data showed a good agreement with R2 of 0.83 and 0.89 for snow accumulation and snow depletion, respectively. This research highlights the potential of utilizing satellite data and statistical modeling to address the challenges of monitoring snow cover in remote and inaccessible regions.
Assimilation versus optimization for SWAT calibration: accuracy, uncertainty, and computational burden analysis
Authors: Bayat Mehrad , Alizadeh Hosein , Mojaradi Barat 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The accurate estimation of runoff by hydrological models depends on proper model calibration. Sequential Data Assimilation (DA), as an online method, is used to estimate complex hydrological models' states and parameters simultaneously. Although DA was applied for estimating the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model's state and/or parameter, the previous research did not pay attention to the model calibration by DA or the comparison between DA and popular SWAT calibration methods. This paper compares Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), a well-known DA method, with Sequential Uncertainty Fitting (SUFI2), a popular SWAT calibration method, to calibrate the model. We test the impact of the selected objective function in the SUFI2 application. We evaluate the results based on the multiple deterministic and uncertainty-based Goodness of Fit (GOF) measures and compare all scenarios based on the simulation accuracy, computational burden, uncertainty assessment, and parameter ranges. Results show that under the SUFI2 application, some GOFs might be located in unsatisfactory ranges while the algorithm obtains (very) good results concerning the objective functions. On the other hand, EnKF simultaneously locates most GOFs in (very) good ratings. Moreover, we found that the selection of SUFI2's objective function and the specification of uncertainty's error in EnKF have significant effects on the results.

The Deficits of the Methodological and Reporting Quality of Randomized
Controlled Trials in the Field of Prosthetics and Orthotics in Iran: A
Systematic Review
Authors: Shahabi Saeed , Kiekens Carlotte , Mojgani Parviz , Arienti Chiara , ShahAli Shabnam , Lankarani Kamran Bagheri 
Published: February 2023

Introduction:
Due to the development of the academic field of prosthetics and orthotics
(P&O) in recent years, scientific studies in this domain have increased. However, relevant
published studies, especially randomized controlled trials (RCTs), are not always of acceptable
quality. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the methodological and reporting quality of RCTs
in the field of P&O in Iran to recognize existing shortcomings.

Methods:
Six electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, the
Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database, were
searched from January 1, 2000, to July 15, 2022. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was applied to
evaluate the methodological quality of the included studies. In addition, the Consolidated Standards
of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) 2010 checklist was used to assess the reporting quality of the
included studies.

Results:
35 RCTs published from 2007 to 2021 were included in our final analysis. The
methodological quality of 18 RCTs was poor, and the quality of the rest of the studies was good (n
= 7) or fair (n = 10). In addition, the median score (IQR) of the reporting quality of RCTs in
accordance with the CONSORT items was 18 (13-24.5) out of 35. The results of the relationship
analysis indicated a moderate correlation between the CONSORT score and the publication year of
the included RCTs. Nonetheless, there was a low correlation between the CONSORT scores and
the journals' impact factors

Conclusion:
The overall methodological and reporting quality of RCTs in the field of P&O in Iran
was not found to be optimal. To enhance the methodological quality, some items should be
considered more strictly, such as blinding of outcome assessment, allocation concealment, and
random sequence generation. Furthermore, the criteria of CONSORT, as reporting quality
checklist, should be adopted in writing the papers, especially methods-related items
Effector Proteins of Type IV Secretion System: Weapons of Brucella Used
to Fight Against Host Immunity
Authors: Zheng Min , Lin Ruiqi , Zhu Jinying , Dong Qiao , Chen Jingjing , Jiang Pengfei , Zhang Huan , Liu Jinling , Chen Zeliang 
Published: February 2023

Abstract::
Brucella is an intracellular bacterial pathogen capable of long-term persistence in the host,
resulting in chronic infections in livestock and wildlife. The type IV secretion system (T4SS) is an important
virulence factor of Brucella and is composed of 12 protein complexes encoded by the VirB operon.
T4SS exerts its function through its secreted 15 effector proteins. The effector proteins act on important
signaling pathways in host cells, inducing host immune responses and promoting the survival and
replication of Brucella in host cells to promote persistent infection. In this article, we describe the intracellular
circulation of Brucella-infected cells and survey the role of Brucella VirB T4SS in regulating
inflammatory responses and suppressing host immune responses during infection. In addition, the important
mechanisms of these 15 effector proteins in resisting the host immune response during Brucella
infection are elucidated. For example, VceC and VceA assist in achieving sustained survival of Brucella
in host cells by affecting autophagy and apoptosis. BtpB, together with BtpA, controls the activation of
dendritic cells during infection, induces inflammatory responses, and controls host immunity. This article
reviews the effector proteins secreted by Brucella T4SS and their involvement in immune responses,
which can provide a reliable theoretical basis for the subsequent mechanism of hijacking the host cell
signaling pathway by bacteria and contribute to the development of better vaccines to effectively treat
Brucella bacterial infection.
scTSSR-D: Gene Expression Recovery by Two-side Self-Representation
and Dropout Information for scRNA-seq Data
Authors: Liu Meng , Chen Wenhao , Zhao Jianping , Zheng Chunhou , Guo Feilong 
Published: February 2023

Background:
Single-cell RNA sequencing is an advanced technology that makes it possible to
unravel cellular heterogeneity and conduct single-cell analysis of gene expression. However, owing to
technical defects, many dropout events occur during sequencing, bringing about adverse effects on
downstream analysis.

Methods:
To solve the dropout events existing in single-cell RNA sequencing, we propose an imputation
method scTSSR-D, which recovers gene expression by two-side self-representation and dropout information.
scTSSR-D is the first global method that combines a partial imputation method to impute dropout
values. In other words, we make full use of genes, cells, and dropout information when recovering
the gene expression.

Results:
The results show scTSSR-D outperforms other existing methods in the following experiments:
capturing the Gini coefficient and gene-to-gene correlations observed in single-molecule RNA fluorescence
in situ hybridization, down-sampling experiments, differential expression analysis, and the accuracy
of cell clustering.

Conclusion:
scTSSR-D is a more stable and reliable method to recover gene expression. Meanwhile, our
method improves even more dramatically on large datasets compared to the result of existing methods.
In-vivo and In-vitro Investigations to Assess Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Bhardwaj Hemlata , Vasudeva Neeru , Sharma Sunil 
Published: February 2023

Abstract:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major source of death and disability worldwide; however, its pathogenesis is no longer regarded as an immediate, irreversible process that occurs at the time of injury. Long-term alterations in personality, sensory-motor function, and cognition are common among trauma survivors. The pathophysiology of brain injury is very complex, so it is difficult to understand. Establishing models such as weight drop, controlled cortical impact, fluid percussion, Accelerationdeceleration, hydrodynamic and cell line culture, etc., to simulate the event within controlled conditions has been a critical step in better understanding traumatic brain injury and enabling improved therapy. Establishing effective in vivo and in vitro models of traumatic brain injury and mathematical models is described here as part of the discovery of neuroprotective techniques. Some models, such as weight drop, fluid percussion, and cortical impact, help us understand the pathology of brain injury and provide suitable and effective therapeutic doses of the drug. A chemical mechanism such as prolonged or toxic exposure to chemicals and gases causes toxic encephalopathy, an acquired brain injury that may or may not be reversible. This review provides a comprehensive overview of numerous in-vivo and in-vitro models and molecular pathways to advance the knowledge of TBI. It covers traumatic brain damage pathophysiology, including apoptosis, the function of chemicals and genes, and a brief discussion on putative pharmacological remedies.

Authors: Kumar Sharma Vijay , Anjalideep Kun , Kumar Harsh , Kumar Akshay , Nagpal Rishita 
Published: February 2023

Background::
Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a new emerging nanotechnology
that has been proven to be an improved alternative to complementary metal oxide semiconductor
(CMOS) technology. It consists of a group of cells that can perform computational functions when
combined and arranged in a particular manner.

Objective::
The Flip-Flops are widely affiliated with the circuits of logical and arithmetic unit structures
that are used for the processors. Data (D) Flip-Flop is the most important and widely used Flip-Flop
among all different types due to its better performance and efficiency. Hence, an efficient D Flip-Flop
needs to be developed using QCA nanotechnology.

Method::
This paper proposes a new design for D Flip-Flop in QCA nanotechnology. The proposed D
Flip-Flop has 28 quantum cells and covers an area of 0.03 μm2 . Furthermore, the paper presents a new
design for a 3-bit Shift Register using the proposed D Flip-Flops in QCA nanotechnology keeping in
mind the importance of the same in storing and transferring multiple bits of data.

Result::
The proposed D Flip-Flop and the 3-bit Shift Register are compared with the existing QCAbased
designs. The proposed Shift Register has 100 quantum cells and covers an area of 0.11 μm2 .

Conclusion::
The comparison concludes that the proposed D Flip-Flop and the 3-bit Shift Register
have used a lesser number of QCA cells and covered smaller areas than the previous works. The proposed
designs have been designed in a single layer without any crossover.
Solid Oxide Membrane-assisted Controllable Electrolytic Fabrication of
Ti5Si3/TiC Composites in Molten Salt
Authors: Zheng Kai , Li Jierui , Shi Cuilian , Luo Haitao , Gong Haifeng 
Published: February 2023

Background:
The titanium silicide Ti5Si3 possesses many desirable properties, such as
a high melting point, excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance, low density, and relatively
high hardness, and it is considered a promising structural intermetallic compound. However, like
most ceramic materials, originating from low symmetry (D88) in its crystal structure, Ti5Si3 has
poor fracture toughness and limited flexibility at room temperature, and at high temperatures, its
creep resistance also drops sharply, which hinders its application. To overcome these shortcomings,
it is suggested that TiC is a practical addition to Ti5Si3 to overcome the brittleness. Compared
with monolithic Ti5Si3, Ti5Si3/TiC composites have a higher fracture toughness. Ti5Si3/TiC
composites can be prepared by many ways, which commonly require high energy cost, complex
processes and provide low efficiency. Therefore, the search for environmentally friendly strategies
for the production of Ti5Si3/TiC is still ongoing.

Objective:
This article proves that we can successfully prepare Ti5Si3/TiC composites from
CaTiO3/SiO2/C precursor by using SOM technology and explores the reaction mechanism of
electrochemical process.

Methods:
In the process of electroreduction of CaTiO3/SiO2/C particles into Ti5Si3/TiC composites,
we mainly used SOM technology at 1273 K and 4.0 V in molten CaCl2 and under an argon
atmosphere.

Results:
The results show that the Ti5Si3/TiC composites can also be successfully electrosynthesized
from CaTiO3/SiO2/C precursors by using SOM-based anode systems at 1273 K and 4.0 V
in molten CaCl2.

Conclusion:
This work demonstrates that Ti5Si3/TiC composites have been successfully electrosynthesized
from CaTiO3/SiO2/C precursors using SOM-based anode systems at 1273 K and
4.0 V in molten CaCl2. The Ti5Si3/TiC has a smooth surface and micro/nano-porous structure.
The formation routes for Ti5Si3 and TiC are independent. In summary, the SOM-assisted controllable
electroreduction process has the potential to provide a novel one-step route from CaTiO3/
SiO2/C precursors to Ti5Si3/TiC composites in molten salts.
