Implementing Biosecurity in Beef and Dairy Herds
Creators: name: Thompson, John U.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1997

description: The common disease prevention and control practices employed by the majority of beef and dairy herds today are inadequate to meet the future demands. They rely on visual observation, regulatory compliance, vaccination, and limited attention to biosecurity of the herds making animal additions.1 Bovine practitioners have been encouraged to increase their participation in nutritional, genetic selection, and financial and production record analysis for beef and dairy herds. Different surveys have indicated that cattle owners continue to look to the bovine practitioner primarily for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and addressing the needs of the individual animal. Veterinarians can strengthen their position in the decision-making team by providing a herd biosecurity and biocontainment risk management assessment and protocol. For this article, biosecurity will refer to attempts to prevent the entry of pathogens considered potentially harmful to the health and well-being of the herd. Practitioners are encouraged to expand the principles to include such things as genetics and nutrients. Biocontainment will refer to controlling the elements within a given population of cattle. Biocontainment strategies should apply to the management of epidemics within a herd and should address biosecurity failures.

description: Many experiments at large-scale laser systems require the highest on-target intensities. This is achieved only for beams with minimal aberration, which becomes more and more difficult to realize for large-aperture laser systems where the beam dimension nowadays exceeds 10 cm. Therefore, wavefront sensing and correction is crucial to suit the needs of current applications [1]. Commercial solutions in software and hardware have been available for the last two decades. However, these solutions often are specialized for a certain setup that might not fit the particular needs of the facility. Adaptions of existing systems are possible, but rather cost-intensive and do often require third-party-maintenance over the lifetime of the system.Therefore, a more flexible software for wavefront sensing and correction is currently being developed at the PHELIX facility at GSI, Darmstadt. The “Wavefront Optics Measurement and Beam Analysis Tool” (WOMBAT) is a modular LabVIEW-software that offers great flexibility while working with custom and commercial hardware. The software contains a camera-module that acquires images from arbitrary camera model, including commercial Shack-Hartmann sensors (SHS). Further modules are available to perform and analysis of its data, wavefront reconstruction as well as a modal analysis in terms of the Zernike-polynomials. The measurement quality is comparable to commercial solutions and even supersedes them in some fields. Wavefront correction can be conducted with different adaptive optics systems, including motorized mirrors, movable lenses and deformable mirrors. For this purpose, modules for response recording and wavefront control are implemented, using a driver interface that can easily be adapted for new hardware.The performance of the current state of WOMBAT has been quantitatively verified and proven in various experiments, compensating static aberrations and enabling manual optimization of the focus. Further functionality is being investigated, including continuous recording and compensation of on-shot-aberrations and an algorithm to retrieve the wavefront from far-field-images.

description: Lameness remains a major problem in cattle, particularly for dairy herds. Estimates of incidence vary from 10 to 50 cases per 100 cows per year, with the higher incidence being seen in cubicle-housed cattle. This paper outlines some of the common causes of lameness and the factors which can lead to an increased incidence. To appreciate the aetiology of lameness, it is necessary to understand the structure and function of the hoof.

description: The atmospheric dispersion of virus was simulated using a computer model which had been developed for predicting the dispersion of toxic gases from chemical engineering plants. The results were compared with data from four outbreaks in which virus was believed to have been transported by air: two outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom in 1967 and outbreaks of Aujeszky's disease in Yorkshire in 1981 to 1982 and Indiana in 1988. There was relatively good agreement with most of these data. The paper shows that the model could be useful in an emergency because the risk of virus spread could be predicted in real time.

description: A thesis submitted to the Niels Bohr Institute at the Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in physics. Submission date was November 19, 2015, and the defence was held on November 30, 2015, where the degree was also awarded.

The cuprate La2-xSrxCuO4+y – a high-temperature superconductor – was discovered almost three decades ago. However the mechanisms behind the superconductivity in the material for different doping values x and y are still not fully understood. A small part of this large puzzle is added to the pile with this thesis, where results on the structure for several different samples are presented.

The emphasis in this thesis is on a specific superstructure thought to be connected to the ordering of interstitial oxygen, known from the isostructural compound La2NiO4+y as staging. Four single crystal samples with different co-doping values are investigated by the use of both X-rays and neutrons.

Staging is observed for all four samples at low temperatures with X-ray measurements. The sample with strontium doping x = 0.00 shows several coexisting staging levels with staging numbers between 2 and 8, with the highest contribution from a staging level between 4 and 5. The co-doped samples show increasing staging number with increasing x. It is found that the staging belongs to a structural phase assumed in space group Fmmm, while the unstaged fraction of the samples are in the Bmab space group. These two structural phases are found to have significantly different lengths of the long crystal axis for the two low x samples, in the order of a fraction of a percent, while the two higher x samples had a difference of only a small fraction of a permille.

The temperature dependent phase transitions for both the Bmab structure and the staging reflections are investigated between 5 and 300 K. The critical exponents for the Bmab reflections are found to be significantly lower than results from similar materials in literature, although with transition temperatures consistent with literature for comparable sample compositions. It is found that the critical exponents for the staging reflections increase for increasing doping while the transition temperatures decrease, both consistent with results on the isostructural La2NiO4+y.

Results from previous neutron measurements are found to be consistent with the X-ray measurements in this work, and measured reciprocal space maps from this work show a large variety of other superstructure reflections which will be interesting to investigate in the future.

description: A new dihydrobenzofuran lignan, (2R,3S)-2-(3′,4′-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-(3-hydroxypropyl)-7-methoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-methyl acetate, named as mitredrusin (1), was isolated from the leaves of Mitrephora teysmannii (Annonaceae) together with 12 known compounds including a related dihydrobenzofuran lignan: (−)-3′,4-di-O-methylcedrusin (2), four polyacetylenic acids: 13(E)-octadecene-9,11-diynoic acid (3), 13(E),17-octadecadiene-9,11-diynoic acid (4), octadeca-9,11,13-triynoic acid (5) and octadeca-17-en-9,11,13-triynoic acid (6), five lignans: (−)-eudesmin (7), (−)-epieudesmin (8), (−)-phillygenin (9), magnone A (10) and forsythialan B (11) and two megastigmans: (3S,5R,6S,7E,9R)-7-megastigmene-3,6,9-triol (12) and annoionol A (13). The chemical structures of these compounds were established on the basis of their 1-D and 2-D NMR spectroscopic data. All compounds were evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Among these isolates, polyacetylenic acids 3 and 4 showed more than 20-fold much higher activity compared with that of the antidiabetic drug acarbose.

description: Capsule Black Grouse declines across Scotland were greatest on less heterogeneous moorland, at low to intermediate altitudes and, more weakly, around post-thicket woodland. Aims To examine correlates of change in abundance of Black Grouse across Scotland. Methods Changes in abundance within 5-km squares between national surveys in 1995/96 and 2005 were modelled in relation to measures of habitat cover and woodland age derived from satellite imagery. Results Populations across Scotland were most stable where unenclosed moorland comprised rough grassland, intermediate heather cover and at higher altitude. Declines tended to be greatest in squares which had transitioned from pre-thicket to closed-canopy woodland. Conclusion Moorland will be most beneficial where it is heterogeneous in composition, and the role of woodland maturation in driving regional declines has support, albeit more weakly, at a national scale.

description: OBJECTIVE: Almost all patients with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) exhibit a CGG repeat expansion (full mutation) in the Fragile Mental Retardation 1 gene (FMR1). Here, the authors report five unrelated males with FXS harboring a somatic full mutation/deletion mosaicism. METHODS: Mutational profiles were only elucidated by using a combination of molecular approaches (CGG-based PCR, Sanger sequencing, MS-MLPA, Southern blot and mPCR). RESULTS: Four patients exhibited small deletions encompassing the CGG repeats tract and flanking regions, whereas the remaining had a larger deletion comprising at least exon 1 and part of intron 1 of FMR1 gene. The presence of a 2-3 base pairs microhomology in proximal and distal non-recurrent breakpoints without scars supports the involvement of microhomology mediated induced repair (MMBIR) mechanism in three small deletions. CONCLUSION: The authors data highlights the importance of using different research methods to elucidate atypical FXS mutational profiles, which are clinically undistinguishable and may have been underestimated.

description: Whole-tree-harvesting (WTH) is gaining support as a means to obtain more bioenergy from forests. One aspect that is scarcely addressed is its impact on the chemical quality of post-harvest plant growth, which may initiate ecological cascade effects through, for example, altered patterns of herbivory and decomposition. We measured C:N ratios and phenolic compounds in foliage from birch Betula spp. that had grown naturally after WTH and conventional harvest (CH) on two boreal sites in inland and more coastal Norway, three or five years after harvest. We found that carbon concentrations were higher after WTH compared to CH on the near-coastal site in spring and summer, but not on the inland site. The only observed change in nitrogen concentration after WTH was that it was lower compared to CH on the near-coastal site in autumn. In line with these changes, the C:N ratio was higher with WTH throughout the season on the near-coastal site, ostensibly favouring production or accumulation of plant defence metabolites. Expectedly, we observed altered concentrations of several phenolic compounds with WTH, particularly at the near-coastal site. Further studies are needed to clarify patterns, but our data strongly suggest that sustainability assessments of WTH should not ignore impact on plant chemical quality, and its potential consequences for trophic interactions.

description: Purpose Radiation exposure, besides the risk of cancer, may also increase the risk of non-cancer diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study investigates whether the soluble form of the ST2 receptor (sST2), an emerging prognostic marker in patients with CVD, can be used to monitor the CVD risk in individuals occupationally exposed to radiation. Materials and methods sST2 in blood plasma from 69 individuals, 45 workers from the nuclear industry and 24 controls, was analyzed using enzyme-linked assay (ELISA). Total antioxidant status (TAS) of blood plasma and levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in lymphocytes were determined by colorimetric and fluorescence assays. Results The data suggest a 5-fold increase in the number of subjects with sST2 levels above the clinical threshold and a 10-fold increase in the number of subjects with TAS levels outside the reference range in the exposed group when compared to the group of non-exposed individuals. The strongest up-regulation of TAS was measured in the group of younger workers with cumulative doses not exceeding 50 mSv. Conclusion The present study may represent an initial step towards the establishment of sST2 as a biomarker for CVD risk estimation in the context of radiation exposure.

description: Background: Improving maternal health and reducing maternal mortality are part of the United Nations global Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. Ensuring every woman’s right to safe delivery is critical for reducing the maternal mortality rate. Our study aimed to identify determinants of safe delivery utilization among women in the eastern Indonesia. Methods: This study was cross-sectional and used a secondary data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). A total of 2,162 women who had their last child in the five years preceding the survey and lived in the eastern part of Indonesia were selected as the respondents. Chi-squared test and binary logistic regression were used to understand the determinants of safe delivery. Results: Higher child rank and interval ≤2 years (OR: 0.30, 95% CI: 0.19-0.47), unwanted pregnancy at time of becoming pregnant (OR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.05-2.08), richest wealth quintile (OR: 5.59, 95% CI: 3.37-9.30), more than four antenatal care visits (OR: 3.62, 95% CI: 2.73-4.79), rural residence, good composite labor force participation, and a good attitude towards domestic violence were found to be significantly associated with delivery at health facility. Higher child rank and interval ≤2 years (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.29-0.83), husband/partner having completed secondary or higher education (OR: 2.18, 95% CI: 1.48-3.22), being in the richest wealth quintile, and four other factors were found to be significantly associated with the assistance of skilled birth attendants. Conclusions: This research extends our knowledge on the determinants of safe delivery among women in the eastern part of Indonesia. This study revealed that the economic status of household remains an important issue in improving safe delivery among women in eastern part of Indonesia. An open innovation and partnership process to improve safe delivery program that engages the full range of stakeholders should be developed based on economic situation.

description: Presented at Fall 2015 Meeting of the Western States Section of the Combustion Institute, Provo, UT, USA. 5–6 October 2015. Paper 134CK-0019.
Accurate simulations of combustion phenomena require the use of detailed chemical kinetics in order to capture limit phenomena such as ignition and extinction as well as predict pollutant formation. However, the chemical kinetic models for hydrocarbon fuels of practical interest exhibit both mathematical stiffness in the governing differential equations and large numbers of species and reactions, particularly for larger molecules. In order to integrate the stiff equations governing chemical kinetics, generally reactive-flow simulations rely on implicit algorithms that require frequent Jacobian matrix evaluations; in addition, various computational combustion diagnostics methods require accurate Jacobian matrices. Typically, finite differences numerically approximate these, but for larger chemical kinetic models this poses significant computational demands since the number of chemical source term evaluations scales with the square of species count. Furthermore, existing analytical Jacobian tools do not optimize evaluations or support emerging SIMD processors such as GPUs. Here we introduce pyJac, a Python-based open-source program that generates analytical Jacobian matrices for use in chemical kinetics modeling and analysis. In addition to producing the necessary customized source code for evaluating reaction rates (including all modern reaction rate formulations), the chemical source terms, and the Jacobian matrix, pyJac uses an optimized evaluation order to minimize computational and memory operations. First, we establish the correctness of the Jacobian matrices for kinetic models of hydrogen, methane, and ethylene oxidation (number of species ranging 13–111) by showing agreement within 1% of high-order finite difference approximations. We then demonstrate the performance, via matrix evaluation timing comparisons, achievable on CPUs and GPUs using pyJac. The Jacobian matrix generator we describe here will be useful for reducing the cost of integrating chemical source terms with implicit algorithms in particular and algorithms that require an accurate Jacobian matrix in general. Furthermore, the open-source release of the program and Python-based implementation will enable wide adoption.

A great variety of national and international standards, as well as guidelines for what constitutes a Trustworthy Digital Repository, exists. To formalize the interpretation and evaluation of FAIR principles and on the question how repositories can demonstrate their FAIRness, an assessment process has to be designed. In order to do so, this milestone evaluates existing certification mechanisms and procedures. Our recommendation is to consider the FAIR implications for CoreTrustSeal requirements by FAIR-aligning the Extended Requirements for the core certification of repositories.

description: Objectives This prospective study was designed to investigate the effect of testosterone, delivered by subcutaneous implants, on the female voice. Methods Ten women who had opted for testosterone therapy were recruited for voice analysis. Voices were recorded prior to treatment and at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months while on testosterone therapy. Acoustic samples were collected with subjects reading a sentence, reading a paragraph, and participating in a conversation. Significant changes in the voice over time were investigated using a repeated-measures analysis of variance with the fundamental frequency (F0) as a response variable. Demographic variables associated with characteristics of the voice were assessed. Results There were no significant differences in average F0 related to smoking history, menopausal status, weight, or body mass index. There was no difference in average fundamental speaking frequency (sentence, paragraph, conversation) between the pre-treatment group and any post-treatment group at 3 and 12 months. There was an increase in sentence speech F0 at 6 months. Two of three patients with lower than expected F0 at baseline improved on testosterone therapy. Conclusion Therapeutic levels of testosterone, delivered by subcutaneous implant, had no adverse affect on the female voice including lowering or deepening of the voice.

description: A common consideration in the rehabilitation of historic timber structures is addressing the concerns for fire safety. Heritage structures can have softwoods but depending on the time they were built they may also have hardwoods present. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge on the char rate of heritage hardwood and softwood. This study presents initial findings into the charring of these historic materials as they would be encountered in practice through samples taken from pre-existing aged timber structures in Canada that are greater than 100 years old. The materials were tested in a cone calorimeter following a modified ASTM 1354 procedure. Hardwood samples typically exhibited a faster charring rate than the softwoods but the charring rates converged at 1.05 mm/min when exposed to higher fluxes of 50 kW/m2. As rehabilitation and readaptation may require performance-based approaches such as structural fire modelling, a provisional framework for a numerical model using LS DYNA for historic timber members is presented. The objective is to identify future research and testing areas to develop a higher certainty model. In the a-priori model presented, results showed conservative charring rate results with charring trends seen in the experiment generally being followed.

description: A common consideration in the rehabilitation of historic timber structures is addressing the concerns for fire safety. Heritage structures can have softwoods but depending on the time they were built they may also have hardwoods present. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge on the char rate of heritage hardwood and softwood. This study presents initial findings into the charring of these historic materials as they would be encountered in practice through samples taken from pre-existing aged timber structures in Canada that are greater than 100 years old. The materials were tested in a cone calorimeter following a modified ASTM 1354 procedure.

description: © 2019 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim Embryo implantation into maternal endometrium is critical for initiation and establishment of pregnancy, requiring developmental synchrony between endometrium and blastocyst. However, factors regulating human endometrial–embryo cross talk and facilitate implantation remain largely unknown. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as important mediators of this process. Here, a trophectoderm spheroid-based in vitro model mimicking the pre-implantation human embryo is used to recapitulate important functional aspects of blastocyst implantation. Functionally, human endometrial EVs, derived from hormonally treated cells synchronous with implantation, are readily internalized by trophectoderm cells, regulating adhesive and invasive capacity of human trophectoderm spheroids. To gain molecular insights into mechanisms underpinning endometrial EV-mediated enhancement of implantation, quantitative proteomics reveal critical alterations in trophectoderm cellular adhesion networks (cell adhesion molecule binding, cell–cell adhesion mediator activity, and cell adherens junctions) and metabolic and gene expression networks, and the soluble secretome from human trophectodermal spheroids. Importantly, transfer of endometrial EV cargo proteins to trophectoderm to mediate changes in trophectoderm function is demonstrated. This is highlighted by correlation among endometrial EVs, the trophectodermal proteome following EV uptake, and EV-mediated trophectodermal cellular proteome, important for implantation. This work provides an understanding into molecular mechanisms of endometrial EV-mediated regulation of human trophectoderm functions—fundamental in understanding human endometrium–embryo signaling during implantation.

description: Information is lacking on the chemical ecology of asparagus, and knowledge about the effects of its volatile emissions on its associated early season pest species is completely absent. The current study aimed to (1) evaluate whether the asparagus miner responds to asparagus volatiles, (2) identify and compare the changes in asparagus host plant volatiles from mechanical and chewing damage by the black cutworm, a temporally co-occurring species with the asparagus miner, and (3) assess how asparagus volatiles affect asparagus miner populations in the field. Results indicated that asparagus miners were significantly attracted to healthy asparagus stems when compared to clean air. Damaged asparagus headspace volatiles were quantitatively and qualitatively different from healthy plants. Volatile baits elicited a range of responses, but their effects were inconsistent between sampling years and phenology-dependent. Overall, we demonstrated that the chemical ecology of asparagus may be altered by its pest community, and volatiles identified from asparagus may impact the behavior of the asparagus miner.

description: An alternative, convenient, and efficient procedure for the synthesis of 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde was carried out by the action of Vilsmeier’s reagent on acetanilides using phosphorus pentachloride as chlorinating agent in place of phosphoryl chloride, obtaining good yields for activated acetanilides. The optimal conditions for this reaction requires only 4.5 equivalents of phosphorus pentachloride, 3 equivalents of N,N-dimethylformamide, and 1 equivalent of the corresponding acetanilide at 100 °C for approximately 4 h.

description: Our objective was to examine the effects of inter-annual variation of precipitation on productivity of two dominant species (Chuquiraga avellanedae, an evergreen shrub, and Nassella tenuis, a perennial grass) in two communities of contrasting soil degradation: a herbaceous steppe with shrubs (HSS) and a degraded shrub steppe (SS). Data were collected during two consecutive years with different annual precipitation. Aboveground productivity was determined nondestructively using a double sampling approach. The number of inflorescences per plant was recorded too. Perennial grass productivity was lower in SS than in HSS in both years, while shrub productivity was lower in SS only during the year of below average precipitation. With rising precipitation the perennial grass increased the number of inflorescences while the evergreen shrub augmented vegetative biomass. In summary, the effects of precipitation on plant productivity are community dependent; abiotic factors, such as superficial and sub-superficial soil characteristics, and biotic factors, such as leaf area index (LAI) or tussock sizes, may interact to influence the responses of species to precipitation. Our results suggest that if precipitation increased, this would favor the dominance of shrubs over grasses.
