description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Genetic variation at five microsatellite loci was analysed for European hake Merluccius merluccius sampled from nine different regions in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. A significant genetic differentiation was found between samples that suggests a fine subdivision of Atlantic and Mediterranean hake stocks. For a more detailed analysis in a shorter spatial scale, pre-spawning hakes caught in eight locations around the Iberian Peninsula were also analysed. Their genetic variation suggests that the species follows a population model of isolation by distance in this geographical area. Three different areas can be identified, one corresponding to the Mediterranean Sea, another to the Portuguese coast and another to the Cantabric Sea. The lack of differentiation between samples caught in the VIIIabd and in the VIIIc ICES areas suggests that the boundary between the northern and the southern stocks of European hake should be reconsidered based on genetic information.

description: The new IDEXX ELISA for paratuberculosis measures the concentration of antibody in clinical samples, serum, plasma or milk. ELISA reader results, measured as optical density (OD) units, are transformed to SIP (sample/positive) ratios. Conventional ELISA interpretations employ a single cutoff for interpretation of SIP values as either negative (below the cutoff) or positive (above the cutoff). Prior studies demonstrated a strong correlation of SIP values with the probability animals are shedding Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis (MAP) in fecal samples collected at the same time as serum samples by likelihood ratio (LR) analysis, highlighting the clinical value of knowing the magnitude of SIP or equivalent transformed ELISA OD values ( Collins et al, 2005).

description: In the present work we investigate wormhole structures and the energy conditions supporting them, in Einstein-Cartan theory ({\sf ECT}). The matter content consists of a Weyssenhoff fluid along with an anisotropic matter which together generalize the anisotropic energy momentum tensor in general relativity ({\sf GR}) to include spin effects. Assuming that the radial pressure and energy density obey a linear equation of state, we introduce exact asymptotically flat and anti-de-Sitter spacetimes that admit traversable wormholes and respect energy conditions. Such wormhole solutions are studied in detail for two specific forms for the redshift function, namely a constant redshift function and the one with power law dependency.

description: Safety in autonomous systems has been mostly studied from a human-centered perspective. Besides the loads they may carry, autonomous systems are also valuable property, and self-preservation mechanisms are needed to protect them in the presence of external threats, including malicious robots and antagonistic humans. We present a biologically inspired risk-based triggering mechanism to initiate self-preservation strategies. This mechanism considers environmental and internal system factors to measure the overall risk at any moment in time, to decide whether behaviours such as fleeing or hiding are necessary, or whether the system should continue on its task. We integrated our risk-based triggering mechanism into a delivery rover that is being attacked by a drone and evaluated its effectiveness through systematic testing in a simulated environment in Robot Operating System (ROS) and Gazebo, with a variety of different randomly generated conditions. We compared the use of the triggering mechanism and different configurations of self-preservation behaviours to not having any of these. Our results show that triggering self-preservation increases the distance between the drone and the rover for many of these configurations, and, in some instances, the drone does not catch up with the rover. Our study demonstrates the benefits of embedding risk awareness and self-preservation into autonomous systems to increase their robustness, and the value of using bio-inspired engineering to find solutions in this area.

description: We present Atacama Large Millimeter/ sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) observations of V883 Ori, an FU Ori object. We describe the molecular outflow and envelope of the system based on the $^{12}$CO and $^{13}$CO emissions, which together trace a bipolar molecular outflow. The C$^{18}$O emission traces the rotational motion of the circumstellar disk. From the $^{12}$CO blue-shifted emission, we estimate a wide opening angle of $\sim$ 150$^{^{\circ}}$ for the outflow cavities. Also, we find that the outflow is very slow (characteristic velocity of only 0.65 km~s$^{-1}$), which is unique for an FU Ori object. We calculate the kinematic properties of the outflow in the standard manner using the $^{12}$CO and $^{13}$CO emissions. In addition, we present a P Cygni profile observed in the high-resolution optical spectrum, evidence of a wind driven by the accretion and being the cause for the particular morphology of the outflows. We discuss the implications of our findings and the rise of these slow outflows during and/or after the formation of a rotationally supported disk.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Blue whiting from the eastern parts of the Barents Sea are genetically different from other parts of the northeast East Atlantic, indicating the existence of a self-sustaining and reproductively isolated or semi-isolated stock there. In mid- and western Barents Sea, its geographic distribution may overlap with Hebrido-Norwegian blue whiting on summer feeding migration. Circumstantial evidence from egg- and larvae distributions supports such a stock structure. Based on observation of unusually large amounts of young blue whiting in the northwest Barents Sea in 2000 and 2001, a sampling scheme encompassing the entire Barents Sea was designed and carried out in winter 2002 to explore the stock origin of these. The polymorphic isozyme loci PGM-1* and IDHP-2*, which showed discriminatory power in earlier blue whiting studies, were employed. The genetic analyses did not reveal overall genetic heterogeneity among geographic samples, but more detailed analysis revealed a statistical significant heterogeneity between age groups. At both loci, allele frequencies in Blue whiting four years and older were different from those in younger age groups, which in turn showed allele frequencies similar to those in the Hebrido-Norwegian stock. Hence, the younger specimens in the blue whiting occurrences in the northwest parts of the Barents Sea in 2001-2002 appear to origin with the Hebrido-Norwegian stock, while the older ones showed genetic characteristics like those of the previously reported Barents Sea stock. The possibility of physical population mixtures by different age groups is a novel feature which must be considered in genetic analyses of blue whiting.

description: Multi-core CPUs are a standard component in many modern embedded systems. Their virtualisation extensions enable the isolation of services, and gain popularity to implement mixed-criticality or otherwise split systems. We present Jailhouse, a Linux-based, OS-agnostic partitioning hypervisor that uses novel architectural approaches to combine Linux, a powerful general-purpose system, with strictly isolated special-purpose components. Our design goals favour simplicity over features, establish a minimal code base, and minimise hypervisor activity. Direct assignment of hardware to guests, together with a deferred initialisation scheme, offloads any complex hardware handling and bootstrapping issues from the hypervisor to the general purpose OS. The hypervisor establishes isolated domains that directly access physical resources without the need for emulation or paravirtualisation. This retains, with negligible system overhead, Linux's feature-richness in uncritical parts, while frugal safety and real-time critical workloads execute in isolated, safe domains.

description: Phase transition in quantum many-body systems inevitably causes changes in certain physical properties which then serve as potential indicators of critical phenomena. Besides the traditional order parameters, characterization of quantum entanglement has proven to be a computationally efficient and successful method for detection of phase boundaries, especially in one-dimensional models. Here we determine the rich phase diagram of the ground states of a quantum spin-1/2 XXZ ladder by analyzing the variation of bipartite and multipartite entanglements. Our study characterizes the different ground state phases and notes the correspondence with known results, while highlighting the finer details that emerge from the behavior of ground state entanglement. Analysis of entanglement in the ground state provides a clearer picture of the complex ground state phase diagram of the system using only a moderate-size model.

description: ELISA tests are often used to identify cows subclinically infected with Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis (MAP). However, they lack diagnostic sensitivity and specificity and are not necessarily useful to predict if or when a subclinically infected cow might develop clinical signs of Johne's disease (CSJD). If producers could predict this, they might cull a cow sooner to avoid economic losses associated with CSJD. A study of one infected herd reported that cows with low serum total protein levels (STP<6. 7 g/dl) in the pre-calving period were at increased risk of culling due to CSJD in the subsequent lactation (Raizman et al, Prev Vet Med 80: 166, 2007). The objective of this study was to describe, for ELISA-positive cows, whether STP, serum albumin (SALB), ELISA SP ratio (ESPR), or level offecal shedding (FS) on ELISA test day are associated with subsequent risk for developing CSJD.

description: Johne's disease (JD) control in dairy herds requires changes in herd management in combination with routine use of diagnostic tests and specific actions on test results. Outcomes of JD control programs, i.e. changes in prevalence, take at least five or more years to be seen on farms. Thus, it takes many years before bovine practitioners personally experience the success or failure of JD control programs in their clients' herds - a long learning cycle. Computer simulations allow for gaining clinical experience on virtual farms before tackling JD control in reality. Gaming concepts challenge learners to attain a passing score or improve their score by repeated attempts; in effect, trying to model expert behavior.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The goal of horse mackerel stock discrimination was tackled by integrating both established and innovative approaches such as genetic markers (allozymes, mtDNA, microsatellite DNA and SSCP), morphometry and parasites, tagging experiments and life history traits (growth, reproduction and distribution), within the EU-funded HOMSIR project. The sampling covered almost the whole distribution range of horse mackerel through 20 sampling localities. 200 fish per sampling site were collected taking in consideration the spawning season and temporal variation (two years of sampling). The results from genetic approaches (Multilocus Allozyme Electrophoresis, mtDNA and microsatellite DNA) showed that there was only slight genetic differentiation among sampling sites. Another genetic technique (SSCP), was successful in finding a genetic marker that demonstrated substructuring in horse mackerel populations. Several approaches (SSCP, morphometrics, parasites) support the separation between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea in horse mackerel populations, although the most western Mediterranean area could also be connected with the Atlantic populations. In the Northeast Atlantic, various stocks can be distinguished: The west Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula (southern stock); the west coasts of European countries from northern Spain to Norway (western stock) and the North Sea stock. This information implies the revision of the boundaries of the so-called southern and western stocks as currently defined. Various results suggested that adult horse mackerel could migrate through different areas/or stocks in the Northeast Atlantic. Horse mackerel from the Mauritanian coast is distinguished by its high production parameters (growth and batch fecundity). The population of horse mackerel in the Mediterranean Sea is substructured roughly in at least three main areas: western, central and eastern Mediterranean. In this contribution, we try to integrate the fundamental findings of differente approaches showing that the holistic approach is the appropriate way to identify stocks in horse mackerel.

description: In 2007, the Michigan Upper Peninsula BVDV Eradication Program was launched. The purpose of this project is to eradicate bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) from a geographic area and, in doing so, identify benefits derived from and obstacles encountered during the eradication program. An important goal of the project was to develop a feasible model that may be adopted by other parts of the US. Key components of the program include identification and removal of cattle persistently infected with BVDV, institution of a planned biosecurity program, and appropriate BVDV vaccination. Whole-herd testing to identify cattle persistently infected with BVDV is a major investment of both time and money for producers. Therefore, development of more efficient herd-testing strategies would be beneficial. Serological evaluation of small groups of young, non-vaccinated calves has been proposed as an alternative method for identifying herds with cattle persistently infected (PI) with BVDV. The objective of the study reported here was to evaluate the application of sentinel serology as an ongoing herd monitoring tool to detect entry of BVDV into a herd. The goal of sentinel testing is to provide an effective herd screening tool that can be used in follow-up surveillance in an eradication program.

description: Major mergers are considered to be a significant source of turbulence in clusters. We performed a numerical simulation of a major merger event using nested-grid initial conditions, adaptive mesh refinement, radiative cooling of primordial gas, and a homogeneous ultraviolet background. By calculating the microscopic viscosity on the basis of various theoretical assumptions and estimating the Kolmogorov length from the turbulent dissipation rate computed with a subgrid-scale model, we are able to demonstrate that most of the warm-hot intergalactic medium can sustain a fully turbulent state only if the magnetic suppression of the viscosity is considerable. Accepting this as premise, it turns out that ratios of turbulent and thermal quantities change only little in the course of the merger. This confirms the tight correlations between the mean thermal and non-thermal energy content for large samples of clusters in earlier studies, which can be interpreted as second self-similarity on top of the self-similarity for different halo masses. Another long-standing question is how and to which extent turbulence contributes to the support of the gas against gravity. From a global perspective, the ratio of turbulent and thermal pressures is significant for the clusters in our simulation. On the other hand, a local measure is provided by the compression rate, i.e. the growth rate of the divergence of the flow. Particularly for the intracluster medium, we find that the dominant contribution against gravity comes from thermal pressure, while compressible turbulence effectively counteracts the support. For this reason it appears to be too simplistic to consider turbulence merely as an effective enhancement of thermal energy.

description: Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) causes a severe interstitial pneumonia primarily in calves from birth to 12 months of age, and is a significant component of the bovine respiratory disease complex. Current detection of BRSV is performed by laboratory-based methods including direct and indirect immunofluorence, real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The development of a rapid patient-side BRSV detection assay would facilitate timely disease diagnosis and the institution of appropriate therapeutic and control plans. Rapid immunomigration assays are readily available for the detection of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV). BRSV and HRSV share significant genetic and antigenic homology. Taking advantage of this homology, this study investigated the use of commercially available HRSV immune migration assays to detect BRSV.

description: We study the many-body localization of spin chain systems with quasiperiodic fields. We identify the lower bound for the critical disorder necessary to drive the transition between the thermal and many-body localized phase to be $W_{cl}\sim 1.85$, based on finite-size scaling of entanglement entropy and fluctuations of the bipartite magnetization. We also examine the time evolution of the entanglement entropy of an initial product state where we find power-law and logarithmic growth for the thermal and many-body localized phases, respectively. For larger disorder strength, both imbalance and spin glass order are preserved at long times, while spin glass order shows dependence on system size. Quasiperiodic fields have been applied in different experimental systems and our study finds that such fields are very efficient at driving the MBL phase transition.

description: Autophagosome and lysosome fusion is an important macroautophagy/autophagy process for cargo degradation, and SNARE proteins, including STX17, SNAP29, VAMP7 and VAMP8, are key players in this process. However, the manner in which this process is precisely regulated is poorly understood. Here, we show that VAMP7B, a SNARE domain-disrupted isoform of R-SNARE protein VAMP7, competes with SNARE domain functional isoform VAMP7A to bind to STX17 and inhibits autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Moreover, we show that DIPK2A, a late endosome- and lysosome-localized protein, binds to VAMP7B, which inhibits the interaction of VAMP7B with STX17 and enhances the binding of STX17 to VAMP7A, thus enhancing autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Furthermore, DIPK2A participates in autophagic degradation of mitochondria proteins and alleviates apoptosis. Thus, we reveal a new aspect of autophagosome-lysosome fusion in which different isoforms of VAMP7 compete with STX17 and their regulation by DIPK2A.

To mitigate the economic loss due to waste milk, 33% of dairy farms in the U.S. feed this milk to pre-weaned calves. Though economically sound, this practice may favor increased selection of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Currently, there are no reports evaluating the presence and concentration of drug residues in waste milk on California dairies. The aims of this cross-sectional study were to: 1) identify and measure concentrations of antimicrobial residues of waste milk samples from dairy farms in Central California, 2) identify management practices associated with the occurrence of specific antimicrobial residues in waste milk, and 3) characterize the antimicrobial resistance patterns of E. coli cultured from waste milk samples.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Hake (Merluccius merluccius) is a high valuable fish species of the Portuguese demersal fisheries. In the present study, the morphometric data and the males first maturity length variation along the Portuguese continental coast (ICES Division IXa) were analysed as an attempt to define population homogeneity. Three geographical zones with different oceanographic conditions were considered: northwest, southwest and south, each composed by different sectors. A discriminant analysis performed by zone and sector indicates segregation between the northwest and the other zones. Morphometric discriminant functions lead to the classification of 51% of the specimens in their correct geographical zones. The male’s length first maturity from the southern samples is smaller than in southwest and northwest.

description: Autophagosome and lysosome fusion is an important macroautophagy/autophagy process for cargo degradation, and SNARE proteins, including STX17, SNAP29, VAMP7 and VAMP8, are key players in this process. However, the manner in which this process is precisely regulated is poorly understood. Here, we show that VAMP7B, a SNARE domain-disrupted isoform of R-SNARE protein VAMP7, competes with SNARE domain functional isoform VAMP7A to bind to STX17 and inhibits autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Moreover, we show that DIPK2A, a late endosome- and lysosome-localized protein, binds to VAMP7B, which inhibits the interaction of VAMP7B with STX17 and enhances the binding of STX17 to VAMP7A, thus enhancing autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Furthermore, DIPK2A participates in autophagic degradation of mitochondria proteins and alleviates apoptosis. Thus, we reveal a new aspect of autophagosome-lysosome fusion in which different isoforms of VAMP7 compete with STX17 and their regulation by DIPK2A.

description: Caustic paste disbudding is becoming more common-place in North America. A large body of work has examined pain control for cautery disbudding and surgical dehorning, but fewer studies have evaluated pain control for caustic paste disbudding, and results conflict regarding benefits of local anesthesia. In humans, the pain associated with a caustic, chemical burn can differ in nature, duration, and intensity compared to a thermal burn. The objective of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effects of either a lidocaine cornual nerve block or a topical anesthetic incorporated into caustic paste on the acute pain of caustic paste disbudding.

description: Time measured by an ideal clock crucially depends on the gravitational potential and velocity of the clock according to general relativity. Technological advances in manufacturing high-precision atomic clocks have rapidly improved their accuracy and stability over the last decade that approached the level of 10$^{-18}$. Based on a fully relativistic description of the background gravitational physics, we discuss the impact of those highly-precise clocks on the realization of reference frames and time scales used in geodesy. We discuss the current definitions of basic geodetic concepts and come to the conclusion that the advances in clocks and other metrological technologies will soon require the re-definition of time scales or, at least, clarification to ensure their continuity and consistent use in practice. The relative frequency shift between two clocks is directly related to the difference in the values of the gravity potential at the points of clock's localization. According to general relativity the relative accuracy of clocks in 10$^{-18}$ is equivalent to measuring the gravitational red shift effect between two clocks with the height difference amounting to 1 cm. We show how clock measurements can provide geopotential numbers for the realization of gravity-field-related height systems and can resolve discrepancies in classically-determined height systems as well as between national height systems. Another application of clocks is the direct use of observed potential differences for the improved recovery of regional gravity field solutions. Finally, clock measurements for space-borne gravimetry are analyzed along with closely-related deficiencies of this method like an extra-ordinary knowledge of the spacecraft velocity, etc. For all these applications besides the near-future prospects, we also discuss the challenges that are related to using those novel clock data in geodesy.

description: The interval subset sum problem (ISSP) is a generalization of the well-known subset sum problem. Given a set of intervals $\left\{[a_{i,1},a_{i,2}]\right\}_{i=1}^n$ and a target integer $T,$ the ISSP is to find a set of integers, at most one from each interval, such that their sum best approximates the target $T$ but cannot exceed it. In this paper, we first study the computational complexity of the ISSP. We show that the ISSP is relatively easy to solve compared to the 0-1 Knapsack problem (KP). We also identify several subclasses of the ISSP which are polynomial time solvable (with high probability), albeit the problem is generally NP-hard. Then, we propose a new fully polynomial time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for solving the general ISSP problem. The time and space complexities of the proposed scheme are ${\cal O}\left(n \max\left\{1 / ε,\log n\right\}\right)$ and ${\cal O}\left(n+1/ε\right),$ respectively, where $ε$ is the relative approximation error. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed scheme has almost the same time complexity but a significantly lower space complexity compared to the best known scheme. Both the correctness and efficiency of the proposed scheme are validated by numerical simulations. In particular, the proposed scheme successfully solves ISSP instances with $n=100,000$ and $ε=0.1\%$ within one second.
description: The paper will appear in the Journal of Global Optimization. The paper has 31 pages and 4 tables. The C++ simulation codes of the proposed FPTAS in the paper for solving the interval subset sum problem are available at [http://bitbucket.org/diaorui/issp]

description: The use of pain control for disbudding and dehorning is important from both an animal- and industry-centered perspective. Best practices include the use of local anesthetic, commonly given as a cornual nerve block, and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Approximately 40% of Canadian dairy producers do not use local anesthesia, perhaps in part due to lack of knowledge regarding cornual nerve block technique. Although this skill is typically learned in person from a veterinarian, alternative or adjunct methods may be useful for hard to reach producers. The objective of this trial was to determine if there were differences in the efficacy of online training, hands-on training, and a combined approach for teaching producers to successfully administer a cornual nerve block and disbud a calf less than 12 weeks of age.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Two species of anglerfish are found in the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean, white anglerfishes (Lophius piscatorius) and black anglerfish (L. budegassa). Both species are highly valuable in trawl and gill net fisheries. In the present study, the morphometric and meristic variation of both anglerfish species is analysed along the Atlantic coast between the west of Ireland and the south of Portugal and also the south-western Mediterranean. In this Atlantic area ICES considers for assessment purposes two anglerfish stocks, northern and southern, with the geographical barrier between them in the Cap Breton Canyon. Results showed a reasonable classification of specimens in certain areas, namely between western Ireland, western France and northern Spain for L. piscatorius and between western France and southern Portugal for L. budegassa. The population structure of the two European anglerfishes seems to be more complex than considered by the actual ICES stock limits.
