description: Dark matter and neutrinos provide the two most compelling pieces of evidence for new physics beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics but they are often treated as two different sectors. The aim of this paper is to determine whether there are viable particle physics frameworks in which dark matter can be coupled to active neutrinos. We use a simplified model approach to determine all possible renormalizable scenarios where there is such a coupling, and study their astrophysical and cosmological signatures. We find that dark matter-neutrino interactions have an impact on structure formation and lead to indirect detection signatures when the coupling between dark matter and neutrinos is sufficiently large. This can be used to exclude a large fraction of the parameter space. In most cases, dark matter masses up to a few MeV and mediator masses up to a few GeV are ruled out. The exclusion region can be further extended when dark matter is coupled to a spin-1 mediator or when the dark matter particle and the mediator are degenerate in mass if the mediator is a spin-0 or spin-1/2 particle.

Year: 1995

description: At the Clinic for Ruminants the authors have used, besides the standard examination method, also the method of combined percussion and auscultation of the abdomen. By this diagnostic aid at the left or the right side of the abdomen they could very successfully detect and localize a variously large, ovally-shaped area emitting a characteristic, sharp, metallic sound, the so-called "ping" caused by the abomasal displacement. From 1981 -1993, twenty-nine cases of left and eighteen cases of right sided "ping" were encountered. In most cases surgery proved successful. In surgical corrections of left side displacement of the abomasum and afterwards also the right one, the authors sutured and thus fixed the omentum using Haupter PSV silk ribbon. The method is fast, simple and reliable.

description: We study the remote detection of virtual machine monitors (VMMs) across the Internet, and devise fuzzy benchmarking as an approach that can successfully detect the presence or absence of a VMM on a remote system. Fuzzy benchmarking works by making timing measurements of the execution time of particular code sequences executing on the remote system. The fuzziness comes from heuristics which we employ to learn characteristics of the remote system’s hardware and VMM configuration. Our techniques are successful despite uncertainty about the remote machine’s hardware configuration

description: 15 holstein cows with a palpable uterine lumen (PUL) at first postpartum palpation were identified and each cow was matched with a normal cow for parity and stage of lactation. Blood was collected from each cow and the uterus cultured, flushed with lactated Ringer's solution and biopsied. Analysis of blood samples indicated that all cows were healthy. Bacteria were isolated form 14 of 15 PUL cows and 13 of 15 normal cows. Uterine flush analysis showed evidence of an inflammatory response in 5 PUL cows and 1 normal cow. Mean scores from microscopical examination of the biopsy specimens were greater in PUL cows, indicating increased pathologic changes in this group.

description: We provide a fast method for computing constraints on impactor pre-impact orbits, applying this to the late giant impacts in the Solar System. These constraints can be used to make quick, broad comparisons of different collision scenarios, identifying some immediately as low-probability events, and narrowing the parameter space in which to target follow-up studies with expensive N-body simulations. We benchmark our parameter space predictions, finding good agreement with existing N-body studies for the Moon. We suggest that high-velocity impact scenarios in the inner Solar System, including all currently proposed single impact scenarios for the formation of Mercury, should be disfavoured. This leaves a multiple hit-and-run scenario as the most probable currently proposed for the formation of Mercury.

description: We examine the redistribution of the in-plane optical spectral weight in the normal and superconducting state in tri-layer \bbb (Bi2223) near optimal doping ($T_c$ = 110 K) on a single crystal via infrared reflectivity and spectroscopic ellipsometry. We report the temperature dependence of the low-frequency integrated spectral weight $W(Ω_c)$ for different values of the cutoff energy $Ω_c$. Two different model-independent analyses consistently show that for $Ω_c$ = 1 eV, which is below the charge transfer gap, $W(Ω_c)$ increases below $T_c$, implying the lowering of the kinetic energy of the holes. This is opposite to the BCS scenario, but it follows the same trend observed in the bi-layer compound \bb (Bi2212). The size of this effect is larger in Bi2223 than in Bi2212, approximately scaling with the critical temperature. In the normal state, the temperature dependence of $W(Ω_c)$ is close to $T^2$ up to 300 K.

description: Users experience a crisis of confidence for online activities in the current Internet. Unfortunately, the symptom of this crisis of confidence manifests itself through online attacks, where adversaries con users to extract money or valuable sensitive information. Instead of addressing the symptom, we investigate how to address the underlying cause, which is that the absence of humanly verifiable information for online entities prevents user authentication. As an initial step in this endeavor, we consider the specific problem of how users can securely authenticate online identities (e.g., associate a Facebook ID with its owner). Based on prior social science research demonstrating that the strength of social ties is a useful indicator of trust in many real-world relationships, we explore how tie strength can be visualized using well-defined and measurable parameters. We then apply the visualization in the context of online friend invitations and propose a protocol for secure online identity authentication. We analyze the robustness of the protocol against adversaries who attempt to establish fraudulent online identities, and evaluate the usability in an actual implementation on a popular online social network (i.e., Facebook). We find that a tie-strength visualization is a useful primitive for online identity authentication.

description: Paleoecology of Scarabaeoidea  Assigning feeding or other ecological traits to fossil beetles is notoriously difficult. Narrative scenarios have some appeal and may be intrinsically consistent (e.g., Ponomarenko 2003), but rely on extensive interpretations of sparse evidence. We have only two sources of evidence: fossilized traces of feeding activities and optimizing feeding habits of extant taxa onto cladograms (e.g., Scholtz and Chown 1995). Fossilized evidence of feeding activity of insects refers mainly to phytophagy and coprophagy. Traces of leaf feeding are frequently documented in the fossil record (Scott et al. 1992), but identifying the tracemakers is virtually impossible. The fossil evidence for coprophagy is large, and assigning it to the Scarabaeoidea is straightforward if we consider scarabs to be the only dung feeders producing dung balls and tunnels.
Beutel and Leschen (2005) identified saprophagy as an apomorphy for all Polyphaga taxa included in their analysis. It was hypothesized to be the ancestral feeding habit of the hydrophiloid lineage (Hydrophiloidea, Histeroidea, and Scarabaeoidea) by Hansen (1997 b) and of 'laparostict' scarabs by Cambefort (1991). However, by mapping extant feeding habits onto the then latest phylogenetic tree, Scholtz and Chown (1995) identified mycetophagy as plesiomorphic conditions for the adults and humus feeding for the larvae of scarabaeoids. The topology of the scarabaeoid tree has changed since, and some extant feeding habits were not considered in the analysis, e.g., coprophagy in adult Trogidae (Krell et al. 2003 and references therein), predatory Hybosoridae and Cetoniinae, sap-feeding Dynastinae and Lucanidae, and necrophagy in Cetoniinae. A new analysis is beyond this review but necessary to test the hypothesis of a fungus-feeding scarabaeoid stem species with humus-feeding larvae.

description: Audit mechanisms are essential for privacy protection in permissive access control regimes, such as in hospitals where denying legitimate access requests can adversely affect patient care. Recognizing this need, we develop a principled approach to audits. Our first contribution is a game-theoretic model that captures the interaction between the defender (e.g., hospital auditors) and the adversary (e.g., hospital employees). The model takes pragmatic considerations into account, in particular, the periodic nature of audits, a budget that constrains the number of actions that the defender can inspect, and a loss function that captures the economic impact of detected and missed violations on the organization. We assume that the adversary is worst-case as is standard in other areas of computer security. We also formulate a desirable property of the audit mechanism in this model based on the concept of regret in learning theory. Our second contribution is an efficient audit mechanism that provably minimizes regret for the defender. This mechanism learns from experience to guide the defender’s auditing efforts. The regret bound is significantly better than prior results in the learning literature. The stronger bound is important from a practical standpoint because it implies that the recommendations from the mechanism will converge faster to the best fixed auditing strategy for the defender.

description: A total of six trials (five with live animals and one in vitro study) were conducted to evaluate the effects of fenbendazole (FBZ) on the immune response in stressed feedlot cattle. FBZ was given to all treatment calves at the recommended label dosage of 2.3 mg/lb (5 mg/kg) body weight. In Trial 1, treatment with FBZ did not affect serum neutralizing (SN) virus titers or viral shedding following inoculation with live, avirulent bovine herpes virus (BHV-1), but did increase titers for interferon (IFN) in nasal secretions at one, four and seven days post-inoculation. In Trial 2, FBZ-treatment reduced viral shedding and increased IFN titer in nasal secretions on days 4, 7 and 11 following inoculation with live, virulent bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). In Trial 3, treatment with FBZ increased average daily gain ( P =0.11) and increased IFN titer in nasal secretions at two ( P =0.12) and seven ( P =0.07) days following intranasal vaccination with avirulent BHV-1. In naturally infected calves, control and FBZ-treated calves had greater nasal secretions of IFN compared to calves treated with morantel tartrate, levamisole, or thiabendazole (Trial 4). Treatment with FBZ did not increase weight gain or interferon secretions in response to vaccination with IBR and BVD viruses (Trial 5). In cell cultures treated with bluetongue virus, FBZ increased IFN titers. FBZ appears to stimulate IFN secretion in calves during experimental infection with either BHV-1 or BVDV (Trial 6).

description: We investigate the scalable image classification problem with a large number of categories. Hierarchical visual data structures are helpful for improving the efficiency and performance of large-scale multi-class classification. We propose a novel image classification method based on learning hierarchical inter-class structures. Specifically, we first design a fast algorithm to compute the similarity metric between categories, based on which a visual tree is constructed by hierarchical spectral clustering. Using the learned visual tree, a test sample label is efficiently predicted by searching for the best path over the entire tree. The proposed method is extensively evaluated on the ILSVRC2010 and Caltech 256 benchmark datasets. Experimental results show that our method obtains significantly better category hierarchies than other state-of-the-art visual tree-based methods and, therefore, much more accurate classification.

description: This study was conducted in a commercial feedlot to compare the health, nutritional performance, carcass characteristics and economic value of three groups of 600 lb (273 kg) beef steer calves-one group of unweaned calves of unknown health history and two groups of calves administered a herd-of-origin health protocol with at least a 45-day weaning period. Calves were purchased between December 1 and December 20, 2003, and were harvested between April 22 and June 2, 2004. Calves identified as persistently infected with bovine viral diarrhea virus remained in their respective treatment groups for the duration of the study. Mortality rates were low in all groups of steers and were unaffected (P>0.14) by treatment. Compared with steers administered health protocols, steers of unknown health history had higher L. (P<0.05) morbidity, lower average daily gain and lower feed intake, particularly early in the feeding period. Additionally, steers with an unknown health history were more likely than health protocol steers to receive multiple treatments for respiratory disease during the entire feeding period. Treatment costs were approximately $7 per head higher for steers of unknown health history. Although feed efficiency was not affected (P>0.57) by treatment, steers of unknown health history required an additional 16 days-on-feed to reach the desired back fat thickness. Neither quality grade nor yield grade was affected by treatment, but the trend was towards a lower (less favorable) quality grade and lower (more favorable) yield grade in calves of unknown health history. Unadjusted for days-on-feed, profit per head was not affected (P=0.64) by treatment; however, on the basis of an equal number of days-on-feed, steers administered the WeanVAC® health protocol at the herd of origin returned $33.71 more net income per head than steers of unknown health history, whereas steers administered other 45-day programs returned $11.36 more net income per head than steers of unknown health history.

description: A field study was conducted to compare the relative effect of a Mannheimia haemolytica toxoid (Presponse® SQ, Wyeth Animal Health, Division of Wyeth Canada, Guelph, Ontario) and a Mannheimia haemolyticaPasteurella multocida bacterin~toxoid (Pulmo-guard™ PHM-1, Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) Ltd., Burlington, Ontario). Upon arrival at the feedlot, 5,128 animals were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to two experimental groups. Animals in the first group received Presponse® SQ (PSQ), while animals in the second group received Pulmo-guard™ PHM-1 (PHM-1). Animals in each experimental group were housed in separate pens with 10 pens per experimental group. With respect to morbidity, the first undifferentiated fever relapse, overall chronicity and overall wastage rates were significantly (P<0.05) lower in the PSQ group as compared to the PHM-1 group. There were no significant (P~0.05) differences in any of the other morbidity or mortality outcome variables between the experimental groups. In addition, there were no significant (P~0.05) differences in average daily gain or the dry matter intake-to-gain ratio between groups. The PSQ group had a higher proportion of carcasses grading YG Canada 3 (P<0.05) than the PHM-1 group. In the economic analysis, there was an advantage of $4.06 CDN/animal in the PSQ group. Based on these results, it is more cost-effective to use PSQ than PHM-1 in feedlot calves at high risk of developing bovine respiratory disease in western Canada.

description: Bovine respiratory disease is the most common illness in post-weaned beef calves, and numerous pre-conditioning programs have been designed to mitigate the impact of this disease syndrome. Preconditioning programs rely on proper implementation of tools, including vaccination and weaning, to prepare the calf to successfully overcome disease challenges. Our objective was to determine whether backgrounding morbidity was associated with the timing of previous vaccinations and the number of days weaned prior to commingling of beef feeder calves. Data were procured over a six-year period from 85 producers that preconditioned calves and placed them in a commingled backgrounding lot for approximately three months. Generalized linear mixed models were utilized to assess the impact of the number of days between first and second viral vaccinations, number of days between the final viral vaccination and commingling and the number of days weaned prior to commingling. Hypothesis testing was performed using P <0.10 due to the relatively small sample size when year and origin farm were considered. Morbidity during the backgrounding phase was significantly higher ( P <0.10) when the time between initial and booster vaccination was less than 14 days. No morbidity differences were found based on weaning time or the proximity of the final vaccination to commingling. Our results illustrate that the timing of vaccinations influences health outcomes of preconditioning programs, and that further research is necessary to provide definitive recommendations regarding timing of vaccination and weaning.

description: Two 60-day studies were conducted comparing various post-metaphylaxis evaluation periods (PMEPs) following administration of tilmicosin to beef feeder cattle at arrival-processing. Calves in Study I were randomly assigned to a control group (no metaphylaxis) or administered tilmicosin at label dose (4.55 mg/lb; 10 mg/kg BW) and assigned to a 3-, 5- or 7-day PMEP (n=160 calves per treatment). Morbidity due to bovine respiratory disease (BRD) was reduced (P <0.01) in calves treated metaphylactically with tilmicosin compared to controls (9.6 vs 33.8%, respectively). Average daily gain (ADG) was improved ( P <0.05) in all three PMEP groups compared to gain of calves in the control group. Calves in Study II were randomly assigned to a control group (no metaphylaxis) or administered tilmicosin at label dose and assigned to one of four PMEP (3-, 5-, 7- or 10-days) groups (n=140 per treatment). Morbidity caused by BRD was reduced ( P <0.05) in all tilmicosin metaphylaxis groups compared to controls (55.7, 56.4, 52.1, 39.3 and 69.3% for the 3-, 5-, 7- and 10-day PMEP groups and controls, respectively). The morbidity rate due to BRD was lower ( P <0.01) in the 10-day PMEP group compared to other PMEP groups, however, mortality in this group was numerically higher than the other PMEP groups. There was no difference in ADG among treatments. Calves diagnosed with clinical BRD following the PMEP and control calves showing signs of BRD were treated with tulathromycin (1.14 mg/lb; 2.5 mg/kg BW) in both studies. Treatment success was similar across all treatments in each study, but was numerically higher in Study I (88.0%) compared to Study II (66.8%).

description: The redshift dependence of the abundance of collapsed objects places strong constraints on cosmological models of structure formation. We apply a recently proposed model describing the anisotropic collapse of inhomogeneous spatial domains. Compared with the spherical top-hat model, this generic model leads to significantly more collapsed objects at high redshifts: at redshift one and on the scale of rich clusters a factor of 65. Furthermore, for a fixed normalization of the initial fluctuation spectrum (σ_8=1), we predict four times as much presently collapsed objects on the mass-scale of rich clusters within the standard CDM cosmogony, compared to the spherical collapse.

description: A total of 13,732 animals were allotted to 64 pens (average 215 head per pen) in two commercial feedyards to compare the effects of growth-promoting implants with and without tylosin tartrate on performance, carcass merit and buller incidence in yearling steers. Implant formulations used in the study included 120 mg trenbolone acetate and 24 mg estradiol with 29 mg of tylosin tartrate (120/24 T) and 120 mg trenbolone acetate and 24 mg estradiol (120/24). Steers implanted without tylosin tartrate tended to have a lower incidence of bullers (1.17 vs 1.49%; P =0.08), and had a greater percentage of USDA quality grade Prime and Choice carcasses (42.51 vs. 40.26%; P =0.02) than steers given an implant with tylosin tartrate. No other differences in performance or carcass characteristics were noted ( P >0.10). Under the conditions of this study, there was no benefit to using tylosin tartrate in generically comparable growth-promoting implants.

description: A cross-sectional study was performed to evaluate the relationship between herd-level management and biosecurity practices in a sample of California's beef cow-calf operations, and the estimated within-herd prevalence of antibodies to Neospora caninum , Anaplasma marginale, and the persistent carrier state of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV PI). Serum samples were collected from 917 adult beef cows from 29 herds. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were created to predict calving season length and the probability of a cow weaning a calf using selected herd-level management and biosecurity factors and the seroprevalence data. The overall seroprevalence of A. marginale , N. caninum and BVDV PI was 47.4% (435/917), 8.9% (82/917) and 0.1% (1/917), respectively. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed no significant associations between management variables and calving season length. A logistic regression model found that the probability that a cow weaned a calf was associated with the number of first-calf heifers in the herd, whether the bulls were semen tested, whether the herd had a history of epizootic bovine abortion, and if the cow herd was vaccinated against Clostridium spp. Based on these findings, we conclude that herd-level management and biosecurity factors may be associated with reproductive success in beef cow-calf farms in California through their effect on the probability that a cow weans a calf.

description: The matrix barcodes known as Quick Response (QR) codes are rapidly becoming pervasive in urban environments around the world. QR codes are used to represent data, such as a web address, in a compact form that can be readily scanned and parsed by consumer mobile devices. They are popular with marketers because of their ease in deployment and use. However, this technology encourages mobile users to scan unauthenticated data from posters, billboards, stickers, and more, providing a new attack vector for miscreants. By positioning QR codes under false pretenses, attackers can entice users to scan the codes and subsequently visit malicious websites, install programs, or any other action the mobile device supports. We investigated the viability of QR-code-initiated phishing attacks, or QRishing, by conducting two experiments. In one experiment we visually monitored user interactions with QR codes; primarily to observe the proportion of users who scan a QR code but elect not to visit the associated website. In a second experiment, we distributed posters containing QR codes across 139 different locations to observe the broader application of QR codes for phishing. Over our four-week study, our disingenuous flyers were scanned by 225 individuals who subsequently visited the associated websites. Our survey results suggest that curiosity is the largest motivating factor for scanning QR codes. In our small surveillance experiment, we observed that 85% of those who scanned a QR code subsequently visited the associated URL.

Circumstellar Interaction Models for the Bolometric Light Curve of SN 2017egm

description: We explore simple semi-analytic fits to the bolometric light curve of Gaia17biu/SN 2017egm, the most nearby hydrogen-deficient superluminous supernova (SLSN I) yet discovered. SN 2017egm has a quasi-bolometric light curve that is uncharacteristic of other SLSN I by having a nearly linear rise to maximum and decline from peak, with a very sharp transition. Magnetar models have difficulty explaining the sharp peak and may tend to be too bright 20 d after maximum. Light curves powered only by radioactive decay of nickel fail on similar grounds and because they demand greater nickel mass than ejecta mass. Simple models based on circumstellar interaction do have a sharp peak corresponding to the epoch when the forward shock breaks out of the optically-thick circumstellar medium or the reverse shock reaches the inside of the ejecta. We find that models based on circumstellar interaction with a constant-density shell provide an interesting fit to the bolometric light curve from 15 d before to 15 d after peak light of SN 2017egm and that both magnetar and radioactive decay models fail to fit the sharp peak. Future photometric observations should easily discriminate basic CSI models from basic magnetar models. The implications of a CSI model are briefly discussed.

The Jefferson Lab 1 kW IR FEL

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Accelerator Physics (physics.acc-ph)

description: The Jefferson Lab (JLab) IR Demo Free Electron Laser (FEL) has completed commissioning and is initiating user service. The FEL - a high repetition rate, low extraction efficiency wiggler-driven optical cavity resonator - produces over 1 kW of tuneable light on intervals in a 3-6 micron wavelength range. It is driven by a 35-48 MeV, 5 mA superconducting RF (SRF) based energy-recovering continuous wave (CW) electron linac. The driver accelerator meets requirements imposed by low energy, high current, and a demand for stringent beam control at the wiggler and during energy recovery. These constraints are driven by the need for six-dimensional phase space management, the existence of deleterious collective phenomena (space charge, wakefields, beam break-up, and coherent synchrotron radiation), and interactions between the FEL and the accelerator RF. We will detail the system design, relate commissioning highlights, and discuss present performance.

description: We systematically investigate effect of oxygen isotope in $(Pr_{1-x}Sm_x)_{0.7}Ca_{0.3}CoO_3$ which shows a crossover with x from ferromagnetic metal to the insulator with spin-state transition. A striking feature is that effect of oxygen isotope on the ferromagnetic transition is negligible in the metallic phase, while replacing $^{16}O$ with $^{18}O$ leads to a giant up-shift of the spin-state transition temperature ($T_s$) in the insulating phase, especially $T_s$ shifts from 36 to 54 K with isotope component $α_S=-4.7$ for the sample with x=0.175. A metal-insulator transition is induced by oxygen isotope exchange in the sample x=0.172 being close to the insulating phase. The contrasting behaviors observed in the two phases can be well explained by occurrence of static Jahn-Teller distortions in the insulating phase, while absence of them in the metallic phase.

description: An analysis of the environments around a sample of 28 3CR radio galaxies with redshifts 0.6 < z < 1.8 is presented, based primarily upon K--band images down to K ~ 20 taken using the UK Infrared Telescope (UKIRT). A net overdensity of K-band galaxies is found in the fields of the radio galaxies, with the mean excess counts being comparable to that expected for clusters of Abell Class 0 richness. A sharp peak is found in the angular cross-correlation amplitude centred on the radio galaxies, which, for reasonable assumptions about the luminosity function of the galaxies, corresponds to a spatial cross-correlation amplitude between those determined for low redshift Abell Class 0 and Abell Class 1 clusters.
