description: As a practical method, the passive scheme is useful to monitor the photon statistics of an untrusted source in a "Plug & Play" quantum key distribution (QKD) system. In a passive scheme, three kinds of monitor mode can be adopted: average photon number (APN) monitor, photon number analyzer (PNA) and photon number distribution (PND) monitor. In this paper, the security analysis is rigorously given for APN monitor, while for PNA, the analysis including statistical fluctuation and random noise, is addressed with a confidence level. The results show that the PNA can achieve better performance than the APN monitor and can asymptotically approach the theoretical limit of the PND monitor. Also, the passive scheme with the PNA works efficiently when the signal-to-noise ratio ($R^{SN}$) is not too low and so is highly applicable to solve the untrusted source problem in the QKD system.

description: Rate constants for the aqueous-phase reactions of the hydroxyl radical with the dicarboxylic acids, succinic acid and pimelic acid were determined using the relative rate technique over the temperature range 287 K ≤ T ≤ 318 K and at pH = 2.0, 4.6 or 4.9 and 8.0. OH radicals were generated by H2O2 laser flash photolysis while thiocyanate was used as a competitor. The pH values were adjusted to obtain the different speciation of the dicarboxylic acids. The following Arrhenius expressions were determined (in units of L mol-1 s-1): succinic acid, k(T, AH2) (2.1 x 0.1) ± 1010 exp[(-1530 x 250 K)/T], k(T, AH-) (1.8 x 0.1) ± 1010 exp[(-1070 x 370 K)/T], k(T, A2-) (2.9 x 0.2) ± 1011 exp[(-1830 x 350 K)/T] and pimelic acid, k(T, AH2) (7.3 x 0.2) ± 1010 exp[(-1040 x 140 K)/T], k(T, AH-) (1.8 x 0.1) ± 1011 exp[(-1200 x 240 K)/T], k(T, A2-) (1.4 x 0.1) ± 1012 exp[(-1830 x 110 K)/T]. A general OH radical reactivity trend for dicarboxylic acids was found as k(AH2) < k(AH-) < k(A2-). By using the pH and temperature dependent rate constants, source and sinking processes in the tropospheric aqueous phase can be described precisely. © 2020 by the authors.

description: We argue that a large class of N=2 Chern-Simons-matter theories in three dimensions have a continuous family of exact IR fixed points described by suitable quartic superpotentials, based on holomorphy. The entire family exists in the perturbative regime. A nontrivial check is performed by computing the 4-loop beta function of the quartic couplings, in the 't Hooft limit, with a large number of flavors. We find that the 4-loop beta function can only deform the family of 2-loop fixed points, and does not change the dimension of this family. We further present an explicit computation of a perturbative correction to the Zamolodchikov metric on this space of three-dimensional superconformal field theories.

description: We investigate the bounds on axionlike states from flavor-changing neutral current b->s decays, assuming the axion couples to the standard model through mixing with the Higgs sector. Such GeV-scale axions have received renewed attention in connection with observed cosmic ray excesses. We find that existing B->K l+ l- data impose stringent bounds on the axion decay constant in the multi-TeV range, relevant for constraining the "axion portal" model of dark matter. Such bounds also constrain light Higgs scenarios in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. These bounds can be improved by dedicated searches in B-factory data and at LHCb.

description: Mycotoxin contamination of hay and other forages has been shown to have adverse effects on livestock. Known forage-associated mycotoxins include stachybotryotoxin, slaframine, the ergot alkaloids, tremorgens, and sporidesmin(1). Many allegations of livestock illness and death following consumption of moldy hay are associated with clinical syndromes uncharacteristic of known forage-related diseases, suggesting that unidentified toxin(s) may be responsible. Little information is available in the literature to verify involvement of toxigenic fungi, the toxic principle(s) or the basic biological effects on cattle.

Mathematics in school and life : implications for secondary mathematics
Creators: name: Faulkner, PS
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Concerns have been expressed by employers that many young people coming into the workforce do not have the mathematical skills that are desired. Concerns have also been expressed about the increasing departure of school mathematics from the demands of daily life. These concerns are not confined to Australia and it is suggested that something may be amiss with the secondary mathematics curriculum. This study is concerned with identifying and closing any gaps that may exist between mathematics that is taught in secondary school and that practiced in daily life. This study opens with an investigation of the development of mathematics and mathematics education in order that the reasons for the mathematics that is currently taught in secondary schools can be best understood. Previous research regarding the mathematics that is used in everyday life is extended and compared with the mainstream syllabus of today as exhibited in text books used in the classroom. The lessons that have been learned from observations of past and present practices are finally drawn together to propose a new secondary mathematics course. In addition to improving the numeracy of students, it is expected that additional benefits will accrue in the reduction of the common anxiety in students that is associated with mathematics, and an easing of the ever-increasing shortage of specialist mathematics teachers. The solution that is offered is to approach secondary mathematics from a lateral point of view with the design of a bipartite course. The core or compulsory syllabus of the proposed course concentrates on the mathematics found in daily life so that all students leave school familiar and confident in their ability to perform simple mathematical tasks with a high degree of accuracy time after time. Those students who have a deeper interest in mathematics would be able to choos e an elective mathematics syllabus where they can study with others of a like mind.

description: Diabetes in cattle has various etiologies1. In humans, virus-induced insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) has been reported. It has also been reported that cattle infected with foot-and-mouth disease contracted diabetes mellitus2. Craighead and coworkers observed experimental diabetes in mice after inoculation of encephalomyocarditis virus3. Other viruses suspected of inducing diabetes are coxsackie, mumps, rubella and cytomegalo virus4. Bovine viral diarrhea mucosal disease (BVD-MD) is a frequently fatal infectious disease of cattle. There is no concrete evidence to date that BVD-MD virus induces diabetes. In this report, the clinicopathological characteristics of diabetes mellitus in cattle were described, and the relationship between BVD-MD and diabetes mellitus was discussed.

Advances in Nutrition and Bovine Disease

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1992

description: The relationship between nutrition and livestock production has been recognized for centuries. Gradually, more specific disease syndromes were associated with specific feeding practices (eg. grass staggers in early pasture, alkali disease in arid climates). However, only in the last 60 to 70 years has animal agriculture attained an understanding of the nutritional mechanisms that contribute to the pathogenesis of many disease syndromes. In particular, we have recognized the diseases resulting from dietary deficiencies and excesses. Nonetheless, as the need for production efficiency in animal agriculture increases, and the reliance on chemical methods to enhance disease resistance decreases, progress in the understanding of nutritional disease relationships will need to integrate complex mechanisms of metabolism, pathophysiology, and toxicology. It is the purpose of this paper to outline selected topics that epitomize the complex role of nutrition in bovine metabolic and infectious disease.

description: We study a possible dark matter candidate in the framework of a minimal anomalous $U(1)'$ extension of the MSSM. It turns out that in a suitable decoupling limit the Stückelino, the fermionic degree of freedom of the Stückelberg multiplet, is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). We compute the relic density of this particle including coannihilations with the next to lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) and with the next to next to lightest supersymmetric particle (NNLSP) which are assumed almost degenerate in mass. This assumption is needed in order to satisfy the stringent limits that the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) puts on the relic density. We find that the WMAP constraints can be satisifed by different NLSP and NNLSP configurations as a function of the mass gap with the LSP. These results hold in the parameter space region where the model remains perturbative.

description: The structure of networks that provide optimal transport properties has been investigated in a variety of contexts. While many different formulations of this problem have been considered, it is recurrently found that optimal networks are trees. It is shown here that this result is contingent on the assumption of a stationary flow through the network. When time variations or fluctuations are allowed for, a different class of optimal structures is found, which share the hierarchical organization of trees yet contain loops. The transitions between different network topologies as the parameters of the problem vary are examined. These results may have strong implications for the structure and formation of natural networks, as is illustrated by the example of leaf venation networks.

description: Since the beginning of the 1970's, one has striven for an increase in the herd milk production on the dairy herds in Western Europe. This was accomplished by investing and by specialising, making use of technological progress and economics of scale. Since the introduction of quota's in 1983, the number of dairy herds in Belgium is decreasing at a rate of 6% a year, and interest in beef cows (Figure 1) and other specialisations of intensive stock-farming is increasing. Along with increasing herd size (Figure 2) and increasing production costs, there is rising interest in the improvement of internal farm efficiency with emphasis on cost-management. Envirommental interests, too, exert an even larger influence on management methodes. It is in this framework that herd management systems must be situated.

description: High signal-to-noise, representative spectra of star-forming galaxies at z~2, obtained via stacking, reveal a high-velocity component underneath the narrow H-alpha and [NII] emission lines. When modeled as a single Gaussian, this broad component has FWHM > 1500 km/s; when modeled as broad wings on the H-alpha and [NII] features, it has FWHM > 500 km/s. This feature is preferentially found in the more massive and more rapidly star-forming systems, which also tend to be older and larger galaxies. We interpret this emission as evidence of either powerful starburst-driven galactic winds or active supermassive black holes. If galactic winds are responsible for the broad emission, the observed luminosity and velocity of this gas imply mass outflow rates comparable to the star formation rate. On the other hand, if the broad line regions of active black holes account for the broad feature, the corresponding black holes masses are estimated to be an order of magnitude lower than those predicted by local scaling relations, suggesting a delayed assembly of supermassive black holes with respect to their host bulges.

description: Linear programming can be used to assess the economic impact of health issues and management for beef cattle operations. The current model shows that substantial increases in relative profit may be achieved by Increasing the ratio of cows per bull for breeding. A 3% increase in profit is projected by moving from a bull to cow ratio of 1 :25 to 1 :40. In addition, the distribution of calvings over the calving season can have dramatic effects on the profitability of the operation. A prolonged calving season (147 days) can result in an operation only 77% as profitable as an operation with a 63-day calving season. A calf death loss of 15% is projected to result in an operation only 87% as profitable as an operation with a 4% death loss.

description: We model the distribution of neutral Hydrogen (HI hereafter) in the post-reionization universe. This model uses gravity only N-Body simulations and an ansatz to assign HI to dark matter haloes that is consistent with observational constraints and theoretical models. We resolve the smallest haloes that are likely to host HI in the simulations, care is also taken to ensure that any errors due to the finite size of the simulation box are small. We then compute the smoothed one point probability distribution function and the power spectrum of fluctuations in HI. This is compared with other predictions that have been made using different techniques. We highlight the significantly high bias for the HI distribution at small scales. This aspect has not been discussed before. We then discuss the prospects for detection with the MWA, GMRT and the hypothetical MWA5000. The MWA5000 can detect visibility correlations at large angular scales at all redshifts in the post-reionization era. The GMRT can detect visibility correlations at lower redshifts, specifically there is a strong case for a survey at z=1.3. We also discuss prospects for direct detection of rare peaks in the HI distribution using the GMRT. We show that direct detection should be possible with an integration time that is comparable to, or even less than, the time required for a statistical detection. Specifically, it is possible to make a statistical detection of the HI distribution by measuring the visibility correlation, and, direct detection of rare peaks in the HI distribution at z = 1.3 with the GMRT in less than 1000 hours of observations.

description: Dairy herd health programs are being implemented in various countries for over 15 years. Advice to the farmer is usually not backed up by statistical analyses. The risk assessment component of veterinary epidemiology deals with the identification and quantification of risk factors and conditions contributing to multifactorial disease occurrence. In this paper on Italian footrot it is shown that the application of epidemiological risk indicator profiles can be useful for setting herd health priorities and for manipulating environmental risk factors to reduce disease occurrence.

description: Both holistic disciplines such as epidemiology, and reductionistic disciplines, typified herein under the category "biotechnology", have as a major goal the improvement of the health status of food animals, as well as the people and environment associated with the production of foods of animal origin. However the perspectives on how this goal should be attained differ widely between these groups. This paper describes, from the vantage of an epidemiologist, the merits of integrating epidemiologic and biotechnologic methods in the areas of ongoing disease control and food animal health research.

description: We report on a fiber-stabilized agile laser with ultra-low frequency noise. The frequency noise power spectral density is comparable to that of an ultra-stable cavity stabilized laser at Fourier frequencies higher than 30 Hz. When it is chirped at a constant rate of ~ 40 MHz/s, the max non-linearity frequency error is about 50 Hz peak-to-peak over more than 600 MHz tuning range. The Rayleigh backscattering is found to be a significant frequency noise source dependent on fiber length, chirping rate and the power imbalance of the interferometer arms. We analyze this effect both theoretically and experimentally and put forward techniques to reduce this noise contribution.

description: One side-effect of a veterinary practice offering a bureau computerised recording service to its dairy farmers is that a large database of health, fertility, and production is developed in relatively few years. It was the use of such a recording scheme, the DAISY system developed at the University of Reading and operated from a veterinary practice that provided the data for this study. The increasing use of such schemes by practitioners should lead to the creation of large quantities of data which should answer many questions relating to health, fertility, and production. With the development of a commercial service offering to implant twin embryos into dairy cows it seemed opportune to measure the effect that twinbirths has on production in dairy cows using data from the practice recording scheme.

The use of oxycodone for analgesia post caesarean section: maternal plasma levels, breast milk levels and neonatal levels; survey of use in Australian and New Zealand obstetric units.
Creators: name: Seaton, S
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Drug transfer to the feeding infant and the safety of a transferred drug are important considerations for clinicians, yet there is a paucity of reliable studies in humans. Drug product manufacturers are not mandated to provide studies on the transfer oftheir products into human milk and may advise that the drug not be used in breastfeeding mothers, due to lack of information. This often leads to the cessation of the drug, resulting in suboptimal treatment of the mother, or the highly undesirable outcome of cessation of breastfeeding. There was a perception that the opioid analgesic drug, oxycodone, was becoming a popular choice for oral analgesia post-Caesarean section. A review of the literature revealed no information or recommendations for its use in this setting, and manufacturers advised that the drug should not be used in breastfeeding. Fifty breastfeeding mothers, taking oxycodone, had blood and breast milk samples analysed for oxycodone levels at 24-hourly intervals after Caesarean section. Fortyone neonates had blood samples analysed at 48 hours and 72 hours after delivery. Oxycodone was detected in milk of all mothers taking any dose of the drug in the previous 24 hours. The maximum level recorded in milk was 168 ng/m!. There was a strong linear correlation between the maternal blood levels and the milk levels and there was evidence of persistence of oxycodone in the milk of some mothers, up to 37 hours after the last maternal dose. Oxycodone was detected in the plasma of one neonate of 41 tested. The risk of neonatal exposure was assessed to be minimal in the three days post delivery because of the low volumes of milk ingested by neonates in this period. The benefits of providing effective and convenient analgesia to aid successful initiation of breastfeeding and enable mothers to care for their babies would appear to outweigh the risks of infant exposure to oxycodone in this early period. The findings in this study are not generalisable to the transfer of oxycodone into mature milk, or exposure of older infants whose mothers may be taking this drug. It would be prudent to be cautious and monitor infants for signs of sedation, poor feeding, gastrointestinal symptoms and respiratory depression if mothers are on large doses of oxycodone. To determine current practice with respect to the use of oxycodone and other drug components of multi modal analgesia post-Caesarean section 25 Fellows of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists completed an on-line survey. Responses indicated that 50 percent of women in metropolitan hospitals and 95 percent in ruraVregional hospitals, in the survey sample, would receive oral or rectal oxycodone post-Caesarean section. The popularity of oxycodone as a choice for analgesia in this setting supports the importance of this study.
Learning to read the nation in twentieth‚ÄövÑv™century Australian school readers
Creators: name: McGennisken, J
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: School Readers, once ubiquitous and indispensable elements of the Australian educational apparatus, contributed significantly to the development of a national imaginary. In analyses of Australian culture though, this contribution has been under‚ÄövÑv™recognised. This thesis argues for a re‚ÄövÑv™reading of, and sustained critical engagement with, early twentieth‚ÄövÑv™century Australian school Readers and their encoded metanarrative of national growth. It examines a selection of first edition Readers from the Adelaide, Queensland, Tasmanian, Victorian, Western Australian and New Australian School Series (NSW). The shape of the Readers' metanarrative about origins, development and maturation, is reflected in the shape of the thesis. Addressing the question of how Australians learned to read (and imagine) the nation, this thesis argues that the various stories, poems and images of the Readers comprise a shifting and contradictory metanarrative. As literary and cultural analysis, this study is attuned to the ways in which these texts, as metanarrative signs, are formally and historically specific, how they appear, reappear and circulate in a network of meanings operating within and outside of school Readers. The analysis is alert to aberrant or elided aspects of these signs, as well as to those that fit neatly within dominant and appealing thematic strands. The first chapter examines the Readers' representation of children and childhood, arguing that the figure of the child is imbued with the nation's innermost cultural anxieties and desires, where childhood can be read as an (already corrupted)metanarrative sign of a youthful, innocent nation. The second chapter is a reading of the imperial curriculum that simultaneously privileges and suppresses concerns about legitimacy and inheritance. Another effect of this pervasive ambivalence in school Readers is uncovered in the third chapter, where signs of an Australian Aboriginal presence are read as resistant, even as metanarrative codings insist on absence and silence. According to the reading of this repressive logic, in chapters 4 and 5 the focus shifts to the imitatory white indigene. Chapter 4 concentrates on iconic elements of the national imaginary: the pioneer, the bushman, the digger. Chapter 5 analyses intertextual visual signs for this white Australian legend, the Readers' frontispieces, photographs and illustrations. The thesis concludes by arguing for a retrieval of the school Reader via a genealogy of reading books that uncovers and examines a colonial and Australian educational apparatus specifically in terms of its literary products. After all, school Readers institutionalise a vital part of an Australian literary imaginary.

Salmo clarki clarki living alone changed their depth distribution throughout the summer season but no diel movement was recorded. The changes in food habits closely corresponded with seasonal change in distribution, and a wide variety of food organisms was eaten. Salvelinus malma living alone underwent considerable diel changes in spatial distribution, with the majority caught at the surface during the evening. Their diet consisted primarily of zooplankton and surface-caught insects. Sympatric Salmo clarki clarki and Salvelinus malma were spatially segregated throughout the summer. Cutthroat trout occurred mostly near the surface and in littoral areas and fed in these areas. In contrast, Dolly Varden were mostly benthic in distribution and fed primarily on bottom organisms. By comparing food habits and distribution in allopatric and sympatric situations it was inferred that food competition contributes to the segregation of the species in sympatry. Seasonal differences in food and spatial segregation occur suggesting interactive segregation is a temporary phenomenon. In general, the data support Nilsson's hypothesis of interactive segregation.

description: Dairymen in the USA look upon twinning in dairy cows as an undesirable and unwanted event because of the strong association with abortions, stillbirths, dystocias, retained fetal membranes, uterine infections, infertility, increased culling and possible reduced milk production. The possible causes associated factors and consequences of twinning have been reviewed.(1-4) Unfortunately there is evidence that twinning in dairy cows is increasing.5 Whether the adverse effects of twinning can be eliminated or reduced by improved feeding and management practices has not been substantiated. In order to apply such practices, there must be an accurate method to determine the presence of twins. The objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of rectal palpation in predicting twins in 25 herds.

description: We investigate pairwise quantum correlation as measured by the quantum discord as well as its classical counterpart in the thermodynamic limit of anisotropic XY spin-1/2 chains in a transverse magnetic field for both zero and finite temperatures. Analytical expressions for both classical and quantum correlations are obtained for spin pairs at any distance. In the case of zero temperature, it is shown that the quantum discord for spin pairs farther than second-neighbors is able to characterize a quantum phase transition, even though pairwise entanglement is absent for such distances. For finite temperatures, we show that quantum correlations can be increased with temperature in the presence of a magnetic field. Moreover, in the XX limit, the thermal quantum discord is found to be dominant over classical correlation while the opposite scenario takes place for the transverse field Ising model limit.

description: Given a group $X$ we study the algebraic structure of the compact right-topological semigroup $λ(X)$ consisting of maximal linked systems on $X$. This semigroup contains the semigroup $β(X)$ of ultrafilters as a closed subsemigroup. We construct a faithful representation of the semigroup $λ(X)$ in the semigroup of all self-maps of the power-set of $X$ and using this representation describe the structure of minimal ideal and minimal left ideals of $λ(X)$ for each twinic group $X$. The class of twinic groups includes all amenable groups and all groups with periodic commutators but does not include the free group with two generators.

The Use of Milk Progesterone Samples for Complete Herd Oestrous Control
Creators: name: Watson, Chris
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1992

description: The most common cause of poor reproductive performance in the dairy herd is poor heat detection. It is impossible to separate heat detection from conception rate as accurate timing of service is certainly a requirement for the successful use of Artificial insemination. However many workers have shown that heat detection is much more closely related to reproductive performance than is conception rate.1,2 Milk Progesterone Assays have been used for over 20 years to asses the stage of oestrous cycle in cattle.3 The first widespread application was for pregnancy diagnosis due to the fact that the method was by Radioimmunoassay (RIA) which involved centralised testing and a necessary time lag between sampling and results . The development of Enzyme-Immunoassay (EIA or ELISA systems) opened up the practical application of on site or "cow-side" testing and results. Use of the test for pregnancy diagnosis severely restricted the potential of the test as the accuracy was often poor. Use for the detection of oestrous and timing of insemination has brought many revolutionary changes.5 This paper examines a complete system of applying the test for oestrous detection and insemination in a commercial dairy herd and the implications for routine veterinary fertility visits.

description: We show a system capable of projecting a video scene on a white-light holographic screen to obtain a kind of image that results in a plane in front of the screen. This holographic screen is mainly a diffractive lens and it is constructed by holography. The image plane can be located at any azimuth angle and seen with continuous parallax and without the use of goggles or any special visualization equipment. The image is not volumetric but when the plane is oblique to the observer its appearance looks very close to a real volumetric image.

A study of pragmatic strategies of English of Thai university students : apology speech acts
Creators: name: Thijittang, S
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Pragmatics is about language in use. It is concerned with the relationships between linguistic forms and the users of those forms. In order to communicate successfully, language users should have pragmatics competence which is the ability to use language forms suitably to sociocultural context. Consequently, language users need to acquire not only linguistic rules but also sociolinguistic rules of language use to perform the speech acts appropriately. Apology, among other speech acts, has received great attention in pragmatics research as politeness is essential in human interaction. Though being polite is preferred universally, the connotation of politeness might differ across culture. In intercultural communication, lack of apology awareness, could lead to offense or misunderstandings, both in producing the appropriate apology and perceiving the intended meaning from other speakers. This study is aimed at examining crosscultural pragmatics by focusing on apologies in Thai and English and investigating the production of interlanguage apologies of Thai EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners in terms of different sociolinguistic variables. The study focussed on two main aspects: a Discourse Completion Task (DCT) and qualitative data from an interview. Previous studies were analyzed and contrasted to find the similarities and differences of apologies in Thai and English as the native Thai speakers and native English speakers' pragmatic norms. The quantitative eliciting data was collected through a DCT questionnaire from 160 Thai undergraduate students of various disciplines at a university in Thailand while the qualitative data was gathered from an individual interview with nine of the original 160 students in order to find the apology strategies use and the views toward significance of apology and apology teaching in language learning. The contrastive findings showed that there are more strategies for apologizing in English than in Thai. Also, universality and culture-specificity co-exist in the act of apologizing in Thai and English. The interlanguage data revealed the influence of sociolinguistic factors: social distance, social status and severity of offense.

A Simulation Model to Compare Strategies For Reducing the Effect of Cystic Ovarian Disease of Dairy Cattle on Herd Average Open Days
Creators: name: Scholl, Daniel T.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1992

description: A theoretical approach was taken to compare various ways of reducing the extended calving intervals that may result from cystic ovarian disease of dairy cattle. The question evaluated was which of the three following options would yield the greatest benefit in tenns of reducing the herd's average number of open days: 1) reducing the cumulative incidence of cystic ovarian disease, 2) improving cystic ovary therapy effectiveness, or 3) improving heat detection and conception rate perfonnance in general. A stochastic Markov Chain model was developed on a computerized spread sheet. This simulation model has the following alterable inputs: 1) cumulative incidence of ovarian cysts occurring before the first postpartum ovulation, 2) cumulative incidence of ovarian cysts occurring after the first postpartum ovulation, 3) probability of spontaneous resolution before or after first postpartum ovulation, 4) probability of responding to treatment, 5) probability of recurrence, 6) average days postpartum at first veterinary reproductive examination, 7) days postpartum of first allowable insemination, 8) days between routine veterinary reproductive examinations, 9) herd average services per conception, and 10) heat detection efficiency. The respective inputs were varied to simulate the expected improvement in herd average days open. Improving herd heat detection efficiency and service per conception were more effective at reducing herd average days open that were improvement of any of the cystic ovarian disease parameters.

description: Bovine freemartinism is the sexual modification of a female twin by in utero exchange of blood from a male fetus. This condition was first described by Hunter in 17791 and was well known to result in sterility. The freemartin syndrome occurs in around 92% of bovine females born as a result of heterosexual twin pregnancies2, which indicates 8% of female heterosexual twins will be normal. The diagnosis of freemartinism can be established by one of the following methods: 1) clinical genital abnormalities; 2) presence of sex chromatin bodies in circulating leukocytes in male co-twin; 3) presence of sex chromosome chimerism (XX/XY) of hemopoietic cells; 4) blood typing; and 5) skin grafting. In order to promote the preservation of ideal genetic traits in newborn heterosexual co-twin heifer calves in the Holstein breed, the American Holstein Association authorized our laboratory to cytogenetically test calves for potential freemartinism. The purpose of this paper is to review the cytogenetical results of testing Holstein heifer heterosexual twins referred to our laboratory in the last 13 years.
