description: Electronic correlations together with dimensional constraints lead to some of the most fascinating properties known in condensed matter physics. As possible candidates where these conditions are realized, semiconductor (111) surfaces and adatom systems on surfaces have been under investigation for quite some time. However, state-of-the-art theoretical studies on these materials that include many body effects beyond the band picture are rare. First principles estimates of inter-electronic Coulomb interactions for the correlated states are missing entirely, and usually these interactions are treated as adjustable parameters. In the present work, we report on calculations of the interaction parameters for the group IV surface-adatom systems in the α-phase series of Si(111):\{C, Si, Sn, Pb\}. For all systems investigated, interelectronic Coulomb interactions are indeed large compared to the kinetic energy of the states in question. Moreover, our study reveals that intersite interactions cannot be disregarded. We explicitly construct an extended Hubbard model for the series of group IV surface-adatom systems on silicon, which can be used for further many-body calculations.

description: I am here to discuss what we do in our practice relative to mastitis control and first I want to lay down some basic principles upon which we base what we do in our practice. Secondly, I want to examine what we do in our practice relative to the various factors which influence mastitis and mastitis control. And then, thirdly, I want to examine some actual cases we have had with the idea hopefully that it will help to put the pieces together.

description: The subject of drug interactions should embrace at least three facets: (1) an interaction of two or more drugs resulting in an unexpected response; (2) an interaction of one or more drugs with physiological processes in the patient, often referred to as adverse reactions; (3) an interaction of one or more drugs with laboratory tests either in vivo as a result of the drug(s) altering physiological systems or in vitro as a result of the drug(s) interfering with the chemistry of the test.

description: As the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, a new and potentially more complex challenge is emerging: one driven by the changing dynamics of our planet itself. Over half of known human pathogens are expected to be aggravated by rising temperatures and extreme weather events. These changes expand habitats for disease vectors, alter animal migration patterns, and, combined with global mobility and poverty, facilitate disease transmission and increase human movement. The next pandemic is likely to be zoonotic, with many vector-borne diseases having zoonotic origins, which complicates control and prevention efforts. While there is significant attention given to pandemics caused by respiratory viruses, there is a need to better recognize and address the epidemic and pandemic potential of vector-borne diseases. This comment aims to highlight the threat of recent vector-borne outbreaks facilitated by climate change and calls for action to enhance epidemic and pandemic preparedness.

description: In this paper we propose a "discrete in continuous" mathematical model for the morphogenesis of the posterior lateral line system in zebrafishes. Our model follows closely the results obtained in recent biological experiments. We rely on a hybrid description: discrete for the cellular level and continuous for the molecular level. We prove the existence of steady solutions consistent with the formation of particular biological structure, the neuromasts. Dynamical numerical simulations are performed to show the behavior of the model and its qualitative and quantitative accuracy to describe the evolution of the cell aggregate.
Nonsurgical Embryo Recovery and Transfer in Cattle

description: Embryo transfer is a technique which makes it possible for a cow to produce more than one or two calves per year. The value of embryo transfer in cattle is two-fold. In its practical application, a considerable contribution has already been made in the multiplication of the exotic breeds and the transfer of eggs from the better animals of a herd into the poorer ones. As a research tool, it has contributed significantly toward the understanding of reproductive physiology, particularly in the areas of endocrine relationships during the estrous cycle, ovulation, fertilization and early development of the fertilized egg.

Selenium Requirements of Cattle and Means of Meeting Them

Year: 1976

description: It is becoming much easier to talk about selenium than it was and now one is more frequently faced with the problem of what to leave out, rather than what to put in. The literature on the element has expanded at a truly remarkable rate and no less than five books, completely devoted to it, have appeared in this country in the last dozen years. The first of these, a comprehensive text published in 1964 by Rosenfeld and Beath at the University of Wyoming entitled "Selenium: Geobotany, Biochemistry, Toxicity and Nutrition," successfully bridged the gap between the toxic and essential nutrient qualities of selenium. Two years later we assembled "Selenium in Biomedicine," which was the proceedings of an international symposium held at Oregon State University. In 1971 the Committee on Animal Nutrition of the National Research Council produced "Selenium in Nutrition" which was a summary of then-current knowledge. Ralph Zingaro at Texas A&M and Charles Cooper of Noranda Mines in Canada authored the text "Selenium" which was published by Van Nostrand in 1974 and the National Academy of Sciences came out this year with "Selenium: Medical and Biological Effects of Environmental Pollutants," which incidentally lists 845 reference citations.

description: For many years veterinarians saw clinical cases and read reports of primary myopathic diseases in food animals and the equine. During the 1950's and the 1960's, investigative research teams found one of the probable causes to be a deficiency of either alpha tocopherol and/or selenium in the diet. Since this breakthrough, innumerable clinical manifestations of white muscle disease (WMD), selenium responsive disease (SRD), or selenium alpha tocopherol deficiency (STD) have been encountered.

Surgical Correction of Hematoma of the Penis in Bulls
Creators: name: Hudson, Robert S.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1976

description: Rupture of the tunica albuginea of the penis of bulls occurs at a very predictable location, i.e., on the dorsal aspect of the distal bend of the sigmoid flexure (7). The rupture probably occurs as a result of extreme bending of the erect penis during an inept copulatory thrust. The location of the rupture has been described as the point at which a fulcrum (the preputial orifice) is applied to the erect penis (5). However, experimental rupture of 25 cadaver penises with hydraulic pressure at the predicted site with or without bending indicated an intrinsic weakness at the rupture site (3). The tunica albuginea has been described as focally thinner at this point ( 4). The angioarchitecture of the distal bend of the sigmoid flexure with its relatively large cavernous spaces (1) may also contribute to the predisposition. The force for the rupture comes from within the corpus cavernosum penis (CCP) and may be facilitated by the proposed bending. Whereas normal copulatory CCP pressure frequently reaches 200-400 lbs. per sq. in. (psi) (2), the pressure required for the rupture of cadaver penises was ca. 1486 psi (3). At rupture a jet of blood under this pressure serves as a highly traumatic force, which accounts for the severity of the lesions encountered on surgical exposure. The blood tears and displaces the surrounding elastic tissue layers and collects en masse along variable planes of the elastic tissue. The blood may invade the sheaths of the retractor penis muscles. The sensory nerves and vessels dorsal to the penis are vulnerable to injury. The resultant hematoma formation in the excavated surrounding tissue gives the clinical condition its popular name.

description: Corrective surgery for hematoma of the penis has been used for many years (1,2,3,4). Basically, this method is comprised of using sterile surgical technique to remove the blood clot and suturing the rent in the tunica albuginea of the penis followed by skin sutures to close the surgical incision. Metcalf (5) described a variation in clot removal by using a stab incision and suction. The above methods are followed by sexual stimulation soon after the surgery-breeding or electro-ejaculation.

description: Electrons with kinetic energies of the order 100 keV are capable of exciting atomic vibrational states from a distance of microns. Despite such a large interaction distance, our detailed calculations show that the scattering physics permits a high-energy electron beam to locate vibrational excitations with atomic-scale spatial resolution. Pursuits to realize this capability experimentally could potentially benefit numerous fields across the physical sciences.

description: This paper presents methodologies to discretize nominal robot paths extracted from 3-D CAD drawings. Behind robot path discretization is the ability to have a robot adjusting the traversed paths so that the contact between robot tool and work-piece is properly maintained. In addition, a hybrid force/motion control system based on Fuzzy-PI control is proposed to adjust robot paths with external sensory feedback. All these capabilities allow to facilitate the robot programming process and to increase the robots autonomy.

description: [ABRIDGED]: Aims: two candidates in the KOI 1574 system are relatively long-period (about 114d and 191d) and in 5:3 resonance. We therefore search for TTVs in this particularly promising system. Methods: The full Kepler data was used, allowing to search for TTVs as well as for additional transit-like signals. Results: We detect strong anti-correlated TTVs of the 114d and 191d signals, dynamically confirming them as members of the same system. Dynamical simulations reproducing the observed TTVs allow us to also determine the masses of the planets. KOI 1574.01 (hereafter Kepler-87 b) was found to have a radius of 13.49 +/- 0.55 R_earth and a mass of 324.2 +/- 8.8M_earth, and KOI 1574.02 (Kepler-87 c) was found to have a radius of 6.14 +/- 0.29R_earth and a mass of 6.4 +/- 0.8M_earth. Both planets have low densities of 0.729 and 0.152 g cm^-3, respectively, which is non-trivial for such cold and old (7-8 Gyr) planets. Specifically, Kepler-87 c is the lowest- density planet in the super-Earth mass range. Both planets are thus particularly amenable to modeling and planetary structure studies, and also present an interesting case were ground-based photometric follow-up of Kepler planets is very desirable. Finally, we also detect two more short period super-Earth sized planetary (< 2R_earth) candidates in the system, making the relatively high multiplicity of this system notable against the general paucity of multiple systems in the presence of giant planets like Kepler-87 b.

description: We report neutron scattering data and DFT calculations of the stoichiometric iron-arsenide superconductor Sr2VO3FeAs. Rietveld refinements of neutron powder patterns confirm the ideal composition without oxygen deficiencies. Experiments with polarized neutrons prove weak magnetic ordering in the V-sublattice of Sr2VO3FeAs at ~ 45 K with a probable propagation vector q = (1/8,1/8,0). The ordered moment of ~ 0.1 muB is too small to remove the V-3d bands from the Fermi level by magnetic exchange splitting, and much smaller than predicted from a recent LDA+U study. By using DFT calculations with a GGA+EECE functional we recover the typical quasi-nested Fermi-surface even without magnetic moment. From this we suggest that the V-atoms are in a Mott-state where the electronic correlations are dominated by on-site Coulomb-repulsion which shifts the V-3d states away from the Fermi energy. Our results are consistent with photoemission data and clearly reveal that Sr2VO3FeAs is a typical iron-arsenide superconductor with quasi-nested hole- and electron-like Fermi surface sheets, and constitutes no new paradigm. We suggest that intrinsic electron-doping through V3+/V4+ mixed valence is responsible for the absence of SDW ordering.

description: We report inelastic neutron scattering results that reveal an hour-glass magnetic excitation spectrum in La1.75Sr0.25CoO4. The magnetic spectrum is similar to that observed previously in La1.67Sr0.33CoO4, but the spectral features are broader. We show that the spectrum of La1.75Sr0.25CoO4 can be modeled by the spin dynamics of a system with a disordered cluster spin glass ground state. Bulk magnetization measurements are presented which support the proposed glassy ground state. The observations reiterate the importance of quasi-one-dimensional magnetic correlations and disorder for the hour-glass spectrum, and suggest that disordered spin and charge stripes exist at lower doping in La2-xSrxCoO4 than previously thought.

Response of the Fetus to Infection
Creators: name: Kendrick, John W.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1976

description: My presentation on this subject is drawn from the current veterinary literature, as well as my own research. The papers that you've heard so far today regard the beginning and the end of pregnancy. I want to talk about pregnancy itself, but everything has to have a beginning. I will talk about some of the responses of the individual fetus, but somewhere along the line these responses have to begin. Do we talk about the individual as beginning its life at birth or at fertilization or maybe even going back a little further to the proverbial gleam in the father's eye? The interesting thing about this is that up until a few years ago we thought about the individual's life beginning at birth but we now know that most of the reactions that we see in animals-inflammation, resistance to disease, immune reaction-all begin during uterine life, and as we continue to study this I am amazed at how young the fetus is when we first see some of these reactions. Most of what we are talking about are protective mechanisms, but some are transitory responses that are unusual because of unusual results that occur. I will just take a moment or two to cover these.

description: A primitive form of fetotomy was recorded in history as early as the fourth century B.C. and again in the first century A.D. However, centuries passed before a practical form of fetotomy was developed. The dismemberment of the fetus is often erroneously referred to as an embryotomy. It is not dismemberment or dissection of an embryo but that of a fetus, hence, the term fetotomy is the more correct term.

description: Background: Stress and cortisol dysregulation are linked to NCDs. Moreover, stress favours unhealthy lifestyle patterns, which increase the risk for NCDs. The role of the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) and the effect of lifestyle interventions on the same remain unclear. Methods: The impact of the intensive 8-week phase of the Healthy Lifestyle Community Programme (HLCP, cohort 1) on parameters of the CAR, ie cortisol values 0 (sample [S]1), 30), 45 and 60 minutes post-awakening, average peak, S1-peak delta and area under the increase curve (AUCI), and perceived stress levels (PSL) was evaluated in a non-randomized, controlled trial. Covariates of the CAR (eg sleep measures) and irregularities in sampling were assessed. The intervention focussed on stress management, a healthy diet, regular exercise, and social support. Participants were recruited from the general population. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. Results: 97 participants (age: 56±10 years; 71% female), with 68 in the intervention group (IG; age: 55±8, 77% female) and 29 participants in the control group (CG; age: 59±12, 59% female), were included in the analysis. The baseline characteristics of both groups were comparable, except participants of IG were younger. On average, the PSL at baseline was low in both groups (IG: 9.7 ±5.4 points; CG: 8.5 ±6.9 points; p=.165), but 22% (n =15) in the IG and 20% (n =6) in the CG reported a high PSL. Most participants reported irregularities in CAR sampling, eg interruption of sleep (IG: 80% CG: 81%). After 8 weeks, most CAR parameters and the PSL decreased in the IG and CG, resulting in no differences of change between the groups. In the IG only, a decrease of PSL was linked to an increase of CAR parameters, eg AUCI (correlation coefficient =−0.307; p =.017). Conclusion: The HLCP may potentially reduce PSL and change the CAR, but results cannot be clearly attributed to the programme. Methodological challenges and multiple confounders, limit suitability of the CAR in the context of lifestyle interventions. Other measures (eg hair-cortisol) may give further insights.

The second describes the following observation that we could strengthen through the example of the Hungarian National eHealth Infrastructure. Besides the broad promotion of a service or its function significantly tends to influence people to become more familiar with it, choosing the appropriate generation-specific platform for the education is also essential.

description: We report results of 3D Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations aiming at investigating the role of the boundary vibration in inducing frictional weakening in sheared granular layers. We study the role of different vibration amplitudes applied at various shear stress levels, for a granular layer in the stick-slip regime and in the steady-sliding regime. Results are reported in terms of friction drops and kinetic energy release associated with frictional weakening events. We find that larger vibration amplitude induces larger frictional weakening events. The results show evidence of a threshold below which no induced frictional weakening takes place. Friction drop size is found to be dependent on the shear stress at the time of vibration. A significant increase in the ratio between the number of slipping contacts to the number of sticking contacts in the granular layer is observed for large vibration amplitudes. These vibration-induced contact rearrangements enhance particle mobilization and induces a friction drop and kinetic energy release. This observation provides some insight into the grain-scale mechanisms of frictional weakening by boundary vibration in a dense sheared granular layer. In addition to characterizing the basic physics of vibration induced shear weakening, we are attempting to understand how a fault fails in the earth under seismic wave forcing. This is the well know phenomenon of dynamic earthquake triggering. We believe that the granular physics are key to this understanding.

description: For the first time in meetings that I have been to, we have looked beyond the rumen in the cow in our physiopathological appraoch. Nutritionists are now busy devising rumen bypass mechanisms with their feeding regimes. Several patented products on the market are claimed to move on through the rumen to the lower G.I. tract. Our speakers have killed some of the old wives' tales regarding the digestive tract. I am interested in the role of the ecology of the gut flora, on down, as it influences the nutritional uptake of some of these things. We have talked primarily about the wall and the organism but we have not had much research on the interface of the organism and how it lives against the wall and how it influences the physiopathology, particularly as we mass-medicate.

description: The problems of the lower gastrointestinal tract in the cow can be divided into two major categories: (1) diarrhea, and (2) obstruction with lack of adequate fecal output. Less common problems would include bleeding in the intestinal tract, tenesmus or straining, and pain in the abdomen. Diarrhea is the most prominent problem of the gastrointestinal tract facing the large animal practitioner of today. In fact, diarrhea or the complications associated with diarrhea account for 10- 15% of the mortality losses associated with calves born in the United States! Some data indicate this is the major loss to the cattle industry in the United States.

description: New and more natural human-robot interfaces are of crucial interest to the evolution of robotics. This paper addresses continuous and real-time hand gesture spotting, i.e., gesture segmentation plus gesture recognition. Gesture patterns are recognized by using artificial neural networks (ANNs) specifically adapted to the process of controlling an industrial robot. Since in continuous gesture recognition the communicative gestures appear intermittently with the noncommunicative, we are proposing a new architecture with two ANNs in series to recognize both kinds of gesture. A data glove is used as interface technology. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed solution presents high recognition rates (over 99% for a library of ten gestures and over 96% for a library of thirty gestures), low training and learning time and a good capacity to generalize from particular situations.

Infectious Diseases of the Bovine Lower Gastrointestinal Tract and the Immune Response
Creators: name: Duncan, J. Robert
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1976

description: Of what significance is modern-day immunology with its T and B lymphocytes, various immunoglobulin classes and subclasses, transfer factor, suppressor cells, immunosuppressive factors, and immunodeficiency diseases to everyday bovine practice? The amount of talent being devoted to continuing education in this area might suggest that it is grossly over-rated. However, when we consider that the control, diagnosis and prevention of some of the major disease problems of cattle, namely, tuberculosis, brucellosis, blackleg, virus diarrhea, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and vibriosis, to name a few, are being conducted principally with immunological tools, possibly it is not over-rated. If we further accept that a major portion of our practice problems are related to infectious diseases of epithelial surfaces, namely the respiratory, digestive, reproductive system and mammary gland; that failure of immunity in its broadest context, whether of animal origin or management-induced, plays an important role in infectious disease, the onus is on us as veterinarians to understand the immune system so that we may use it to our best advantage.

Basic Structure, Function, Pathophysiology and Immune Mechanisms of the Bovine Gut

Year: 1976

description: The bovine intestine can be thought of as a tube. Food goes into one end and, after a few changes, comes out as feces at the other end. We never worry much about what's going on in that tube unless something goes wrong. When something goes wrong with the intestine, the most common clinical sign is diarrhea. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to determine the what and the why of the problem, and one is forced to treat all diarrheas in a similar manner, largely with antibacterial drugs and/or parasympatholytic anti-cholinergic agents. In order to prevent and treat diarrheas, other than symptomatically, we must develop an understanding of what is.happening in the gut and what are some of the mechanisms by which bacteria and viruses can cause diarrhea.

Poisonous Plants in Harvested Feeds
Creators: name: Fowler, Murray E.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1976

description: There are hundreds of plants with potential toxicity to cattle. This presentation is limited to a few that are likely to cause problems in harvested feed. Many livestock producers now buy feed from those who specialize in crop production, thus they may have minimal control over the quality of the feed. Modern methods of feed preparation (grinding, pelleting, and cubing) may make it impossible to ascertain the presence of poisonous plants unless quality control is rigidly practiced from field to animal.

description: Filling out the dearth of detections between direct imaging and radial velocity surveys will test theories of planet formation and (sub)stellar binarity across the full range of semi-major axes, connecting formation of close to wide separation gas giants and substellar companions. Direct detection of close-in companions is notoriously difficult: coronagraphs and point spread function (PSF) subtraction techniques fail near the $λ/D$ diffraction limit. We present a new faint companion detection pipeline called Argus which analyzes kernel phases, an interferometric observable analogous to closure phases from non-redundant aperture masking but utilizing the full unobscured telescope aperture. We demonstrate the pipeline, and the power of interferometry, by performing a companion search on the entire \emph{HST/NICMOS} F110W and F170M image archive of 114 nearby brown dwarfs (observed in 7 different programs). Our pipeline is able to detect companions down to flux ratios of $\sim10^2$ at half the classical diffraction limit. We discover no new companions but recover and refine astrometry of 19 previous imaging companions (two with multiple epochs) and confirm two previous kernel-phase detections. We discuss the limitations of this technique with respect to non-detections of previously confirmed or proposed companions. We present contrast curves to enable population studies to leverage non-detections and to demonstrate the strength of this technique at separations inaccessible to classical imaging techniques. The binary fraction of our sample ($ε_b=14.4^{+4.7}_{-3.0}$%) is consistent with previous binary surveys, even with sensitivity to much tighter separation companions.

Nontraditional Student Accommodation
Creators: name: Watty, Shannon
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2020
Subjects: Education

description: The number of students who are applying to colleges and universities has been exponential over the past years. Higher education institutions include four-year or senior institutions, two-year or community colleges and other private institutions that contribute to the development of their students equally. This paper uses secondary data to arrive at solutions for combating a diverse student population. Through the three strategies, namely the academic support strategy, student support strategy and financial support strategy, educational institutions are better able to address the needs of nontraditional students enrolled at their respective institution.
Control of Salmonellosis in Calves
Creators: name: Weaver, Leon D.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1976

description: Calfhood salmonellosis continues to be a major source of economic loss for dairies and commercial calf growers in Southern California. Almost all dairies in our area are drylot operations ranging in size from 200 to 1,200 milking cows. Replacement heifers are raised on the premises or by a commercial calf grower in our area until they are four to eight months old, at which time they are usually shipped out of Southern California. The two most significant health problems our calf growers experience are: (1) neonatal calf diarrhea ("colibacillosis," calf septicemia, reo-, and/or corona virus), and (2) salmonellosis. Salmonellosis may be slightly less prevalent than "colibacillosis," but may represent an equal or greater economic loss since it affects older calves, is resistant to therapy, and is extremely difficult to control.

Digital Models of Retinal Vasculature for 3D Printed Phantoms
Creators: name: Regulatory Catalog
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This tool is a set of files that provide digital models of human retina vasculature, based on images acquired with a fundus camera. The vascular map deviates from the original geometry in that it is essentially planar and has been modified to provide circular channels with equal diameter throughout the volume. Three versions are included which incorporate: (a) a single vascular network (b) two vascular networks at different depths and rotated 90o and (c) a single vascular network that is tilted with respect to the surface so that the vessels vary in depth. The full dimensions are also nominally 45 x 45 x 13 mm, but can be modified. These models can be implemented for 3D printing of tissue-simulating phantoms for a range of biophotonic imaging modalities, as noted above. The size of any printed model is dependent on the printer used as well as any preprocessing of the file.

description: We investigate the contribution from each Dirac modes to the Polyakov loop based on a gauge-invariant analytical relation connecting the Polyakov loop and the Dirac modes on a temporally odd-number lattice, where the temporal lattice size is odd, with the normal (nontwisted) periodic boundary condition. The dumping factor in the relation plays crucial role for the negligible contribution of low-lying Dirac modes to the Polyakov loop. The zero-value of the Polyakov loop in the confinement phase is due to the ``positive/negative symmetry'' of the Dirac-mode contribution to the Polyakov loop. In the deconfinement phase, there is no such symmetry.

Universal distribution of component frequencies in biological and technological systems

Subjects: subject: Molecular Networks (q-bio.MN)

description: Bacterial genomes and large-scale computer software projects both consist of a large number of components (genes or software packages) connected via a network of mutual dependencies. Components can be easily added or removed from individual systems and their usage frequencies vary over many orders of magnitude. We study this frequency distribution in genomes of ~500 bacterial species and in over 2 million of Linux computers and find that in both cases it is described by the same scale-free power law distribution with an additional peak near the tail of the distribution corresponding to nearly universal components. We argue that this is a general property of any modular system with a multi-layered dependency network. We demonstrate that the frequency of a component is positively correlated with its dependency degree given by the total number of upstream components whose operation directly or indirectly depends on the selected component. The observed frequency/dependency degree distributions are reproduced in a simple mathematically tractable model introduced and analyzed in this study.

description: We propose a method for programmable shaping of the amplitude and phase of the XUV and x-ray attosecond pulses produced by high-order harmonic generation. It overcomes the bandwidth limitations of existing spectral filters and enables removal of the intrinsic attosecond chirp as well as the synthesis of pulse sequences. It is based on partial phase matching, such as quasi-phase matching, using a longitudinally addressable modulation.
Update of National Brucellosis and Tuberculosis Eradication Programs

Year: 1976

description: The brucellosis eradication program was making progress towards reducing the number of infected herds until about 1972. A number of problems, including a reduction in funds and manpower due to the detailing of personnel to the VEE eradication program, the exotic Newcastle disease eradication efforts, and the hog cholera eradication campaign, resulted in an increase in the incidence of brucellosis throughout the country. This increase was observed in both the high-risk and the predominantly clean populations.
