description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A French anchovy fishery takes place in the Bay of Biscay all along the year from the Spanish border to the west end of Brittany. This fishery is essentially based on pelagic trawling carried out on the continental shelf. Each year, a migration of the fishery may be observed from the south of the area in spring to the north of the area in autumn. A database of this fishery is compiled and maintained since 1983 at Ifremer. Concurrently, scientific surveys are carried out each year in spring for an acoustic estimate of anchovy biomass. The logbooks provide a geographical distribution of marketable anchovy while acoustic data provide the distribution of the whole biomass present on the platform.

description: A continuum $K$ is a common model for the family ${\mathcal K}$ of continua if every member of ${\mathcal K}$ is a continuous image of $K$. We show that none of the following classes of spaces has a common model: 1) the class of strongly chaotic hereditarily indecomposable $n$-dimensional Cantor manifolds, for any given natural number $n$, 2) the class of strongly chaotic hereditarily indecomposable hereditarily strongly infinite-dimensional Cantor manifolds, 3) the class of strongly chaotic hereditarily indecomposable continua with transfinite dimension (small or large) equal to $α$, for any given ordinal number $α< ω_{1}$.

description: Areas of the Northwest United States are trace mineral deficient, necessitating oral and/or parenteral supplementation in livestock. Selenium has been shown to be an important component of the antioxidant system of mammalian cells, and deficiency is known to be associated with white muscle disease and ill thrift in young calves. Recommended serum selenium levels for adult cattle are 0.08-0.30 pg/mL, and cattle are considered marginally deficient in selenium when serum levels are 0.03-0.07 pg/mL. There is scant evidence in the scientific literature comparing different commercially available parenteral supplements in dairy calves. This trial evaluated serum trace mineral levels, injection site and clinical aptitude scores (ISS/CAS) of neonatal dairy calves supplemented with two common parenteral trace mineral products.

description: The primary objective was to study a milk ELISA test for detection of antibody against p80 (p80/125 nonstructural protein) of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) in comparison with standard ear notch testing for cows persistently infected (PI) with BVDV. BVDV is an important cause of respiratory disease, diarrhea, abortion and infertility, and poor calf performance in dairy herds. Secondary objectives included evaluation of four methods of handling Dairy Herd Improvement Association (DHIA) milk meter-collected milk samples for possible differences in BVD test results, and to study cow characteristics, such as parity and stage of lactation, and their association with anti-BVD antibody detection.

description: Antimicrobial resistance, and the potential for transmission of resistant zoonotic pathogens from animal sources to humans, continues to be a heavily debated topic. We need to improve our understanding of factors on dairies that contribute to the development or shedding of resistant pathogens, so that veterinarians and producers can adopt judicious drug use and animal management practices that will ultimately protect both animal and human health. The objective of this study was to describe the relationship between the type of milk diet fed, age of calf, and systemic treatment with antimicrobials, and levels of antibiotic resistance in fecal E. coli from dairy calves between birth and four months of age.

description: Diarrhea treatment protocols that depend on antibiotic therapy need to be replaced with strategies that utilize management and nutrition to minimize economic losses from calf diarrhea. It is logical to formulate milk replacers that copy cow’s milk as closely as possible. Calf milk replacers are typically formulated with a fatty acid profile that does not exactly match that of cow’s milk (butterfat). Much research has been done to study the effects of many different nutrients. Recent work has looked at the effect of bringing fatty acid levels closer to cow’s milk (Hill et al, J Dairy Sci 92(2), 2009). This is a study to explore the effect of using a fatty acid supplement in a farm production setting.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Six surveys were carried out during late June and July covering most of the continental shelf north of 54oN in the North Sea and to the west of Scotland to a northern limit of 62oN. The eastern edge of the survey area was bounded by the Norwegian and Danish, Swedish and German coasts, and to the west by the shelf edge between 200 and 400 m depth. The surveys are reported individually in the report of the planning group for herring surveys, and a combined report has been prepared from the data from all surveys. The combined survey results provide spatial distributions of herring abundance by number and biomass at age by statistical rectangle; and distributions of mean weight and fraction mature at age. The estimates of North Sea autumn spawning herring are consistent with previous years at 2.9 million tonnes and 17,200 million herring. The survey also shows two exceptional year classes of herring (the 1998 and 2000 year classes) in the North Sea, which is consistent with the observation of exceptionally large year classes observed in the MIK and IBTS surveys. The estimates of Western Baltic spring spawning herring SSB are 255,000 tonnes and 2.9 millions (Table 2) and show a large increase compared with the previous year. The Western Baltic survey produces a rather noisy signal but the indications are of a stock that is higher now than between 1996 to 2000. The West of Scotland survey estimates of 548,000 tonnes and 2,900 million and shows the high 1995 year class again this year. The 1998 year class now (3 ring) is also a large one. Total adult mortality shows much lower mortality than last year (0.1 compared to 0.5 ) but the mean mortality over the last 4 years has been 0.3: this is consistent with the 2002 assessment that the stock is lightly exploited.
The Strong Interaction Model in DFR noncommutative space-time

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The Doplicher-Fredenhagen-Roberts (DFR) framework for noncommutative (NC) space-times is considered as an alternative approach to describe the physics of quantum gravity. In this formalism, the NC parameter, {\it i.e.} $θ^{μν}$, is promoted to a coordinate of a new extended space-time. Consequently, we can construct a Field Theory in a space-time with spatial extra-dimensions. This new coordinate has a canonical momentum associated, where the effects of a new physics point of view can emerge in the fields propagation along the extra-dimension. In this paper we have introduced the gauge invariance in the DFR NC space-time by the composite symmetry $U^{\star}(N)\times U^{\star}(N)$. We have constructed the non-Abelian gauge symmetry based on DFR formalism, and we analyzed the consequences of this symmetry in the presence of such extra-dimensions. The gauge symmetry in this DFR scenario can reveal new gauge fields attached to $θ$-extra-dimension. As an application, we have accomplished the unification of Strong Interaction with the electromagnetism and a Higgs model to give masses to the NC bosons. We have estimated their masses by using some experimental constraints of QCD.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Little is know about the biology, distribution and abundance of the herring or sprat stocks in ICES Division VIa (N), especially for the juvenile stages. This paper forms part of a wider study to increase our understanding of these pelagic stocks. A series of six fine-spatial-scale acoustic studies were carried out in selected Scottish sea lochs between October 2000 and January 2003, in the late autumn and winter of each year. Several lochs from Torridon to Loch Nevis were surveyed but Lochs Duich, Hourn, Kishorn and Nevis were more consistently surveyed than any of the others. Herring (Clupea harengus L.) and sprat (Sprattus sprattus L.) juveniles (0 and 1 group) are known to overwinter in west coast sea lochs and this study aimed to assess, among other things, the abundance of these small pelagics through an acoustic survey accompanied by trawl sampling using a pelagic net.

description: Arthropods comprise the majority of all described animal species, and understanding their evolution is a central question in biology. Their developmental processes are under the precise control of distinct hormonal regulators, including the sesquiterpenoids juvenile hormone (JH) and methyl farnesoate (MF). The control of the synthesis and mode of action of these hormones played important roles in the evolution of arthropods and their adaptation to diverse habitats. However, the precise roles of non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs, controlling arthropod hormonal pathways are unknown. Here, we investigated the microRNA regulation of the expression of the juvenile hormone acid methyltransferase gene (JHAMT), which encodes a rate-determining sesquiterpenoid biosynthetic enzyme. Loss of function of the microRNA bantam in the fly Drosophila melanogaster increased JHAMT expression, while overexpression of the bantam repressed JHAMT expression and resulted in pupal lethality. The male genital organs of the pupae were malformed, and exogenous sesquiterpenoid application partially rescued the genital deformities. The role of the bantam in the regulation of sesquiterpenoid biosynthesis was validated by transcriptomic, qPCR and hormone titre (JHB3 and JH III) analyses. In addition, we found a conserved set of microRNAs that interacted with JHAMT, and the sesquiterpenoid receptor Methoprene-tolerant (Met) in different arthropod lineages, including insects (fly, mosquito and beetle), crustaceans (water flea and shrimp), myriapod (centipede) and chelicerate (horseshoe crab). This suggests that these microRNAs might have conserved roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of genes in sesquiterpenoid pathways across the Panarthropoda. Some of the identified lineage-specific microRNAs are potential targets for the development of new strategies in aquaculture and agricultural pest control.

description: Johne’s disease (JD) of dairy cows is caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). Although the majority of infected cows are subclinical, the infection causes production losses which lead to economic losses for the farm. Available tests do not identify all subclinically infected cows, and anecdotal reports from producers indicate that some cows can test positive for Johne’s disease or MAP antibodies at one test, and the same cow can test negative at a following test. These contradictory results often lead to frustration and uncertainty among producers about the interpretation of test results and their implication for JD control on their farm. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify characteristics of the cow and her Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) milk test at the time of a positive MAP-antibody milk ELISA (MAP milk ELISA) result that is followed by a different milk ELISA result, i.e. negative or suspect, compared to a cow’s milk test where cows tested positive at both the initial and subsequent MAP milk ELISA.

description: We report the temperature-pressure phase diagram of CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ established using high pressure electrical resistivity, magnetization and high energy x-ray diffraction measurements up to 6 GPa. With increasing pressure, both resistivity and magnetization data show that the bulk superconducting transition of CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ is suppressed and then disappears at $p$ $\gtrsim$ 4 GPa. High pressure x-ray data clearly indicate a phase transition to a collapsed tetragonal phase in CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ under pressure that coincides with the abrupt loss of bulk superconductivity near 4 GPa. The x-ray data, combined with resistivity data, indicate that the collapsed tetragonal transition line is essentially vertical, occuring at 4.0(5) GPa for temperatures below 150 K. Band structure calculations also find a sudden transition to a collapsed tetragonal state near 4 GPa, as As-As bonding takes place across the Ca-layer. Bonding across the K-layer only occurs for $p$ $\geq$ 12 GPa. These findings demonstrate a new type of collapsed tetragonal phase in CaKFe$_4$As$_4$: a half-collapsed-tetragonal phase.

description: Most dairies with free-stall barns in central or southern California use cooling systems consisting of fans combined with water soakers or misters to deal with the effects of heat stress on lactating dairy cattle during hot summer temperatures. Although these systems have been widely adopted and have been shown to be effective for minimizing losses in milk production related to summer heat stress, these systems require consumption of significant amounts of electricity and water for their operation. Conductive cooling technology was retrofitted into a free-stall barn to evaluate its potential effectiveness for cooling cows compared to a conventional cooling system. An overall purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of installing heat exchanger mats in beds of an existing free-stall barn. The primary research objective was to measure milk production for a short period of time during the summer in a randomized clinical trial comparing cows using freestall housing with fans and soakers with cows having access only to free-stall beds with heat exchanger mats providing conductive cooling.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Stocks are declining or collapsing, fisheries are being closed, and FAO reports static or declining world fisheries catches, despite continuous increases in technological fishing power. These developments have far reaching repercussions; declining catches, increasing restrictions, permanent closures, and the pathological export of over-capacity to developing countries. Clearly, 20th century fisheries are not sustainable. The generally localized or stock-wide focus of fisheries scientists has, until recently, made it difficult to demonstrate large scale and global impacts of decades of fishing on ecosystems. The Sea Around Us Project undertakes such investigations at the ocean-basin and global level. We have developed a rule-based spatial mapping routine which, using existing data, produces maps of catch and biomass patterns at the ½ x ½ degree scale. Here, we present spatial and temporal patterns for the North Atlantic, West Africa and Southeast Asia, illustrating the dramatic resource decline during the 20th century. Fully acknowledging these large-scale patterns of catches and biomass, and the associated problems in our marine environment is the first step towards changing the way our societies perceive marine resources and ecosystems. This realization may finally lead us towards developing sustainable resource use patterns.

description: A dissipative stochastic sandpile model is constructed and studied on small world networks in one and two dimensions with different shortcut densities $ϕ$, where $ϕ=0$ represents regular lattice and $ϕ=1$ represents random network. The effect of dimension, network topology and specific dissipation mode (bulk or boundary) on the the steady state critical properties of non-dissipative and dissipative avalanches along with all avalanches are analyzed. Though the distributions of all avalanches and non-dissipative avalanches display stochastic scaling at $ϕ=0$ and mean-field scaling at $ϕ=1$, the dissipative avalanches display non trivial critical properties at $ϕ=0$ and $1$ in both one and two dimensions. In the small world regime ($2^{-12} \le ϕ\le 0.1$), the size distributions of different types of avalanches are found to exhibit more than one power law scaling with different scaling exponents around a crossover toppling size $s_c$. Stochastic scaling is found to occur for $ss_c$. As different scaling forms are found to coexist in a single probability distribution, a coexistence scaling theory on small world network is developed and numerically verified.

description: Worldwide, there are 45 bovine zoonotic diseases and many more animal-only diseases. Veterinarians understand the potential health risks associated with disease transmission. Educating clients and staff on practical, easily implemented steps to protect themselves from zoonotic diseases is an important professional task. Veterinarians are the best resource to help identify opportunities to improve animal and human health on dairies. A risk analysis approach combined with hierarchy of controls can be applied in a practical manner, making veterinarians an indispensable resource for their clients.

description: We present dynamical measurements for 586 H-alpha detected star-forming galaxies from the KMOS (K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph) Redshift One Spectroscopic Survey (KROSS). The sample represents typical star-forming galaxies at this redshift (z=0.6-1.0), with a median star formation rate of ~7 Msol/yr and a stellar mass range of log[M/Msol]~9-11. We find that the rotation velocity-stellar mass relationship (the inverse of the Tully-Fisher relationship) for our rotationally-dominated sources (v/sigma>1) has a consistent slope and normalisation as that observed for z=0 disks. In contrast, the specific angular momentum (j; angular momentum divided by stellar mass), is ~0.2-0.3 dex lower on average compared to z=0 disks. The specific angular momentum scales as M^[0.6+/-0.2], consistent with that expected for dark matter (i.e., proportional to M^[2/3]). We find that z~0.9 star-forming galaxies have decreasing specific angular momentum with increasing Sersic index. Visually, the sources with the highest specific angular momentum, for a given mass, have the most disk-dominated morphologies. This implies that an angular momentum-mass-morphology relationship, similar to that observed in local massive galaxies, is already in place by z~1.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Recent observations made in the scientific and popular literature have suggested that the characteristics of both marine and terrestrial plant and animal communities are changing rapidly due to increasing global air and sea temperatures. It is well known, for example, that the Lusitanian planktonic copepod, Calanus helgolandicus, almost completely replaced its more boreal congener, Calanus finmarchicus in the northern North Sea between the late 1960s and late1990s. The exact causative mechanisms underpinning this dramatic shift are still poorly understood, but global temperature change is likely to be involved. In this paper we examine the hypothesis that the piscean species composition of the northern North Sea is changing in response to climate. To do this we use a rich dataset on fish abundance collected by trawl during research surveys carried out by Fisheries Research Services, Aberdeen. The surveys cover water depths of less than 200m around all of Scotland’s coasts, and span a period of 79 years (1925-2003). The data exist in the form of length-frequencies for 348 different species, while additional information (e.g. age, sex, weight and stage of sexual maturity) is available for the commercially important component (e.g. cod, whiting & haddock). Our detailed analyses of the data suggest that the northern North Sea is currently experiencing waves of immigration by exotic, southern species (eg. red mullet, anchovy & pilchard) which are unprecedented in the context of the 79 year history of our extensive databases. Changes in the size structure of the invading species also indicates that some of the recent arrivals are actually ‘recruiting’ on northern North Sea grounds. Finally, the striking long-term spatial changes in fish species abundance and composition observed are discussed in the context of sea surface temperatures which have risen over the last decade.

description: The failure of moving mechanical components is often accompanied by hydrogen embrittlement caused by hydrogen diffusion in steel. One considerable mechanism for hydrogen diffusion is its ingress from lubricant decomposition. We investigated quantitatively the ingress of hydrogen generated by lubricant decomposition into bearing steels using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Deuterated lubricants were used to discriminate between the original hydrogen in steel and the hydrogen generated from lubricant decomposition. The highest concentration of deuterium was always near the raceway surface, and the concentration decreased gradually as the depth was increased. The diffused deuterium increased in a parabolic relation with the duration of friction. To protect steels against the ingress of hydrogen, we studied the effect of a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, which has a low diffusion coefficient of hydrogen. DLC reduced but did not completely prevent the ingress of hydrogen, which resulted from the reduction in the amount of hydrogen generated from the tribochemical and thermal decomposition of lubricants.

description: Dairy calves are extremely susceptible to gastrointestinal disease during the pre-weaned period. The gastrointestinal immune system of the calf is naive and develops rapidly during the first few days to weeks of life. The cells that make up the gastrointestinal tract are the first line of defense of the immune system; therefore, until the cells are more adult-like the calf may be at an increased risk for developing gastrointestinal diseases. Gastrointestinal health can be improved either by hastening the maturation of the intestinal immune system or by controlling infections in the intestines until the local immune system fully develops. Various nutritional strategies may function through 1 or both of these mechanisms and include yeast cell wall extracts, probiotics, other fermentation products, hyper-immunized egg protein, and spray-dried plasma proteins. In addition to various nutritional additives, the quantity and quality of milk solids that are fed to neonatal calves can influence not only the pre-weaning health, but have effects that persist later into life. Nutrition of neonatal calves is as important to calf health as any other management strategy.

description: Cells exhibit qualitatively different behaviors on substrates with different rigidities. The fact that cells are more polarized on the stiffer substrate motivates us to construct a two-dimensional cell with the distribution of focal adhesions dependent on substrate rigidities. This distribution affects the forces exerted by the cell and thereby determines its motion. Our model reproduces the experimental observation that the persistence time is higher on the stiffer substrate. This stiffness dependent persistence will lead to durotaxis, the preference in moving towards stiffer substrates. This propensity is characterized by the durotaxis index first defined in experiments. We derive and validate a 2D corresponding Fokker-Planck equation associated with our model. Our approach highlights the possible role of the focal adhesion arrangement in durotaxis.

description: Arthropods comprise the majority of all described animal species, and understanding their evolution is a central question in biology. Their developmental processes are under the precise control of distinct hormonal regulators, including the sesquiterpenoids juvenile hormone (JH) and methyl farnesoate (MF). The control of the synthesis and mode of action of these hormones played important roles in the evolution of arthropods and their adaptation to diverse habitats. However, the precise roles of non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs, controlling arthropod hormonal pathways are unknown. Here, we investigated the microRNA regulation of the expression of the juvenile hormone acid methyltransferase gene (JHAMT), which encodes a rate-determining sesquiterpenoid biosynthetic enzyme. Loss of function of the microRNA bantam in the fly Drosophila melanogaster increased JHAMT expression, while overexpression of the bantam repressed JHAMT expression and resulted in pupal lethality. The male genital organs of the pupae were malformed, and exogenous sesquiterpenoid application partially rescued the genital deformities. The role of the bantam in the regulation of sesquiterpenoid biosynthesis was validated by transcriptomic, qPCR and hormone titre (JHB3 and JH III) analyses. In addition, we found a conserved set of microRNAs that interacted with JHAMT, and the sesquiterpenoid receptor Methoprene-tolerant (Met) in different arthropod lineages, including insects (fly, mosquito and beetle), crustaceans (water flea and shrimp), myriapod (centipede) and chelicerate (horseshoe crab). This suggests that these microRNAs might have conserved roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of genes in sesquiterpenoid pathways across the Panarthropoda. Some of the identified lineage-specific microRNAs are potential targets for the development of new strategies in aquaculture and agricultural pest control.

description: Genomic testing is closing in on 10 years of existence in the dairy cattle genetics industry. In 2008 this technology was introduced, 2009 brought genomic evaluations to the marketplace, and 2010 saw the first commercial genomic testing in the dairy industry. Fast forward to 2018 and we will see well over one-half million dairy animals tested this year. To put into perspective, we have progressed from less than 1 out of every 200 dairy heifers being tested 7 years ago to more than 1 out of every 10 being tested today.

description: Assessment is at the core of teaching and learning at the Open University. It is used to measure student learning against institutional and AQA standards and, most importantly, assessment has a pivotal role in consolidating student understanding and in supporting progression along their learning journey. The student response to their assignment is complex, with aspects such as student expectation, self-esteem and emotional response identified as key drivers for how effectively students engage with marked assignments (Walker and Mirabelle, 2009; Lipnevich, 2016). Within the OU, there are specific circumstances resulting in a zero grade being applied to a piece of assessed work, aside from poor academic progress/achievement of learning outcomes for the assignment. Under these circumstances the experience of receiving a zero grade may compromise the student’s response to the assignment, and indeed, their ongoing study. Within LHCS, a process involving application of a temporary ‘holding grade’ of zero is instigated when potentially serious academic misconduct is investigated by the Academic Conduct Office (ACO). Zero grades may also be given to students who submit their assignment late without (or beyond) an agreed extension. However, there may be some variability in student experience, depending on how strictly tutors apply this rule. Some tutors may provide marking feedback to a student who submits late without an agreed extension (or beyond an agreed extension), but return it with an L marker, which will indicate that no score is awarded for the assignment; others may mark and grade as normal. Furthermore, the extent to which students are aware of L markers is unclear. Open University students often have significant demands on their ability to study, beyond ‘typical’ study timetabling. Many students have caring responsibilities, disabilities, and/or are juggling complex family lives and working. The impact of an L marker/zero grade has the potential to disproportionately affect students who already have significant study challenges. The purpose of this study is to investigate the usage and impact of a zero grade, arising either as a holding grade pending ACO investigation or as a consequence of application of an L marker. We aim to conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis of academic conduct cases and L markers on Level 1 science modules to explore aspects of the immediate student response (via voice records) and to evaluate impacts on retention. Focus group and survey work with tutors and staff tutors will also be used to further explore awareness of policy and impact.​
