description: We combine the effect of the electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions to study the electronic and optical properties of zb-GaN. We show that only by treating the two effects at the same time it is possible to obtain an unprecedented agreement of the zero and finite-temperature electronic gaps and absorption spectra with the experimental results. Compared to the state-of-the-art results our calculations predict a large effect on the main absorption peak position and width as well as on the overall absorption lineshape. These important modifications are traced back to the combined electron-phonon damping mechanism and non uniform GW level corrections. Our results demonstrate the importance of treating on equal footing the electron and phonon mediated correlation effects to obtain an accurate description of the III-nitrides group physical properties.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recently it has been shown that projected entangled-pair states can be considered as a (physically motivated) resource state for measurement-based quantum computation. Here we elaborate on how to construct a deterministic measurement-based quantum computation model on projected entangled-pair states. In particular, we use this scheme to build a 4-level many-body model for universal quantum computation on qubits. We also derive a 3-local parent Hamiltonian for this model, whose ground state is non-degenerate.
Using Chem-Cast to Dehorn Baby Calves

description: I began using Chem-Cast (Bio-Ceutic, 88% Lactic Acid USP) to dehorn baby calves about 18 month ago. I began my experiment with a few Brown Swiss calves owned by a client on a monthly dairy herd health program. The owner had used dehorning paste in years previously with only limited success and it was my hope that I could teach him and others how to dehorn with Chem-Cast.

Use of a Come Along in a Bovine Practice

description: What I would like to do this evening is spend a few minutes and talk about some of the uses that we found in our practice for a device, which all of you know is a come-along or power puller. It's a very simple device. It has a metal frame with a steel cable with a hook on the end of it, and a winching device. A very simple thing. You can buy these in hardware stores from anywhere from $15 to $30. In our practice we prefer the ones with just a single cable. These have about a one ton capacity. You can get them with a double cable that have about a two-ton capacity. We just don't work on anything that takes two tons to lift. We find that the single cable puller has a longer cable on it which is preferable in our situation.

description: Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the most common studied problems in combinatorial optimization. Given the list of cities and distances between them, the problem is to find the shortest tour possible which visits all the cities in list exactly once and ends in the city where it starts. Despite the Traveling Salesman Problem is NP-Hard, a lot of methods and solutions are proposed to the problem. One of them is Genetic Algorithm (GA). GA is a simple but an efficient heuristic method that can be used to solve Traveling Salesman Problem. In this paper, we will show a parallel genetic algorithm implementation on MapReduce framework in order to solve Traveling Salesman Problem. MapReduce is a framework used to support distributed computation on clusters of computers. We used free licensed Hadoop implementation as MapReduce framework.

Black hole foraging: feedback drives feeding

description: We suggest a new picture of supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth in galaxy centers. Momentum-driven feedback from an accreting hole gives significant orbital energy but little angular momentum to the surrounding gas. Once central accretion drops, the feedback weakens and swept-up gas falls back towards the SMBH on near-parabolic orbits. These intersect near the black hole with partially opposed specific angular momenta, causing further infall and ultimately the formation of a small-scale accretion disk. The feeding rates into the disk typically exceed Eddington by factors of a few, growing the hole on the Salpeter timescale and stimulating further feedback. Natural consequences of this picture include (i) the formation and maintenance of a roughly toroidal distribution of obscuring matter near the hole; (ii) random orientations of successive accretion disk episodes; (iii) the possibility of rapid SMBH growth; (iv) tidal disruption of stars and close binaries formed from infalling gas, resulting in visible flares and ejection of hypervelocity stars; (v) super-solar abundances of the matter accreting on to the SMBH; and (vi) a lower central dark-matter density, and hence annihilation signal, than adiabatic SMBH growth implies. We also suggest a simple sub-grid recipe for implementing this process in numerical simulations.

description: One function of skin microbiota is to resist colonization and infection by external microorganisms. We sought to detect whether the structure of the hand microbiota of 34 healthcare workers (HCW) in a surgical intensive care unit mediates or modifies the relationship between demographic and behavioral factors and potential pathogen carriage on hands after accounting for pathogen exposure. We used a taxonomic screen (16S rRNA) to characterize the bacterial community, and qPCR to detect presence of Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus spp., methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Candida albicans on their dominant hands. Hands were sampled weekly over a 3-week period. Age, hand hygiene, and work shift were significantly associated with potential pathogen carriage and the associations were pathogen dependent. Additionally, the overall hand microbiota structure was associated with the carriage of potential pathogens. Hand microbiota community structure may act as a biomarker of pathogen carriage, and modifying that structure may potentially limit pathogen carriage among HCW.
Practice Tips for the "Normal" Repeat Breeder

Year: 1986

description: In dairy practice many of my most frustrating cases used to be cows that cycle regularly (every 20-22 days), palpate normal on rectal exam, show dramatic and appropriate length heats, but fail to conceive after repeated inseminations. Many times dairymen will ask me about these cows when I am at the farm for another reason and the problem cow has just "returned" again that day for the sixth time. For a few years I would palpate the cow and mumble "she feels good, breed her again and give her GnRH this time." It was after dairymen began saying "But Doc, you said the same thing two heats ago," that I began to develop a somewhat more sophisticated approach to these cows. I no longer fear these cows, but view them as an opportunity. Getting a dairyman's best cow pregnant can be quite a practice builder.

Real versus ideal: a debate in ancient Egyptian three-dimensional visual culture
Creators: name: Silk, Shara Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: One of the most prevalent debates in Egyptological studies is that of ‘real versus ideal’. Krauss (1991: 47) and Laboury (2010: 3), for example, state that visual culture from the Amarna Period (c. 1352-1336 B.C.) is the “most lifelike…Egyptian art”. Conversely, Assmann (1996: 68-71) argues that visual culture from the Amarna Period is an idealisation of the human form. Debate such as this has proliferated Egyptological studies associated with the Old Kingdom (c. 2686- 2160 B.C.) to the end of the Roman Period (c. 30 B.C.-A.D. 395). Complicated by a plethora of ill-defined terms and conflicting perspectives, this debate continues unresolved. Through a thematic historiographical approach, this research defines the key terms (portraiture, realism, naturalism, and idealism), discusses their influence, and synopsises seminal the arguments of the debate. The theoretical framework of New Materialism aids in further clarifying the debate, by emphasising the importance of both the material and immaterial forms of evidence. As dictated by the theoretical framework, this research investigates how the material of three-dimensional representation affected whether representation was realistic or idealised. This research also investigates how immaterial considerations, such the rules of representation, the purpose and the influences of visual culture affected whether representation was idealised or realistic. Finally, this research suggests new scientific approaches to contribute to the resolution of this debate, as is inspired by several academics. These scientific approaches include, facial recognition software, topographical and statistical analysis of three-dimensional representation as well as imaging and analysis of soft tissue.

description: Tasked with the challenge to build better and better computers, quantum computing and classical computing face the same conundrum: the success of classical computing systems. Small quantum computing systems have been demonstrated, and intermediate-scale systems are on the horizon, capable of calculating numeric results or simulating physical systems far beyond what humans can do by hand. However, to be commercially viable, they must surpass what our wildly successful, highly advanced classical computers can already do. At the same time, those classical computers continue to advance, but those advances are now constrained by thermodynamics, and will soon be limited by the discrete nature of atomic matter and ultimately quantum effects. Technological advances benefit both quantum and classical machinery, altering the competitive landscape. Can we build quantum computing systems that out-compute classical systems capable of some $10^{30}$ logic gates per month? This article will discuss the interplay in these competing and cooperating technological trends.

Similarly, is resilience about responding in the face of the rare event? Or, is it being prepared for the rare event? Is it useful to think about the evolution of resilience? What are the risks posed by models of risk? That is, do models to reduce vulnerability to risk, increase vulnerability? What is the role of reflexivity in the analysis of resilience?

There are several instructional methods of tutoring, including individualized tutoring between a tutor and the student, group tutoring which involves the students and the tutor and peer tutoring which involves two students, one with exceptional knowledge of the subject. These techniques are essential in helping the student understand the necessary information.

description: This article describes the development and the results obtained by KEOMA, a robot of low cost, applicable as an alternative to platforms used in educational robotics nowadays, making the robotics more and more accessible to all, reducing the complexity in building and facilitating the programming. KEOMA is a tool of acquirement of new knowledge, an efficient way to contextualize the learned contents in classroom with something ludic and totally applicable. A key aspect is the reuse of electronic components and the recycling of other materials in its construction. Another important aspect is the use of Open Source/Hardware technology Arduino for reading sensors, controlling actuators, and perform communication with Bluetooth devices, allowing KEOMA to become programmed and controlled remotely via computers, smartphones and tablets. This work also presents a case study in which the results are presented before and after using KEOMA on learning in the programming concepts, by the students of Science and Technology of the University of the State of Rio Grande do Norte (UERN) and confirm their acceptance as a ludic educational tool, encouraging the active participation of students in the concept and real problem solving with KEOMA support.

description: Massive evolved stars in transition phases, such as Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs), B[e] Supergiants (B[e]SGs), and Yellow Hypergiants (YHGs), are not well understood, and yet crucial steps in determining accurate stellar and galactic evolution models. The circumstellar environments of these stars reveal their mass-loss history, identifying clues to both their individual evolutionary status and the connection between objects of different phases. Here we present a survey of 25 such evolved massive stars (16 B[e]SGs, 6 LBVs, 2 YHGs, and 1 Peculiar Oe star), observed in the K-band with the Spectrograph for INtegral Field Observation in the Near-Infrared (SINFONI; R = 4500) on the ESO VLT UT4 8 m telescope. The sample can be split into two categories based on spectral morphology: one group includes all of the B[e]SGs, the Peculiar Oe star, and two of the LBVs, while the other includes the YHGs and the rest of the LBVs. The difference in LBV spectral appearance is due to some objects being in a quiescent phase and some objects being in an active or outburst phase. CO emission features are found in 13 of our targets, with first time detections for MWC 137, LHA 120-S 35, and LHA 115-S 65. From model fits to the CO band heads, the emitting regions appear to be detached from the stellar surface. Each star with ^12CO features also shows ^13CO emission, signaling an evolved nature. Based on the level of ^13C enrichment, we conclude that many of the B[e]SGs are likely in a pre-Red Supergiant phase of their evolution. There appears to be a lower luminosity limit of log L/L_solar = 5.0 below which CO is not detected. The lack of CO features in several high luminosity B[e]SGs and variability in others suggests that they may in fact be LBV candidates, strengthening the connection between these two very similar transition phases.

description: Recently single image super resolution is very important research area to generate high resolution image from given low resolution image. Algorithms of single image resolution are mainly based on wavelet domain and spatial domain. Filters support to model the regularity of natural images is exploited in wavelet domain while edges of images get sharp during up sampling in spatial domain. Here single image super resolution algorithm is presented which based on both spatial and wavelet domain and take the advantage of both. Algorithm is iterative and use back projection to minimize reconstruction error. Wavelet based denoising method is also introduced to remove noise.

description: On October 16 and 20, 1986 my partner in the cattle business and I acquired from a reputable order buyer in West Virginia 177 calves which had been purchased in sales barns. The individual average pay weigh was 553 pounds. The cattle arrived at a backgrounding lot in Michigan weighing 526 pounds. Stated in terms used in the trade, the calves experienced a hauling-in shrink of 4.9%. On arrival, they were placed on long hay and converted to a ration of chopped hay, corn silage, corn grain, and soybean meal. The calves when unloaded appeared to be "right". Bawling was minimal and by-and-large all went up to the bunk and started to eat. On day two, after arrival of load one, 18 animals were pulled for treatment. To bring this non-fictional narrative to a close, to date we have experienced a morbidity (that is treatment rate) of some 54%, a mortality rate of about 4%, and a mortality/morbidity percentage of about 7.5%.

Global stability of stretched jets: conditions for the generation of monodisperse micro-emulsions using coflows

description: In this paper we reveal the physics underlying the conditions needed for the generation of emulsions composed of uniformly sized drops of micrometric or submicrometric diameters when two immiscible streams flow in parallel under the so-called tip streaming regime after Suryo & Basaran (2006). Indeed, when inertial effects in both liquid streams are negligible, the inner to outer flow-rate and viscosity ratios are small enough and the capillary number is above an experimentally determined threshold which is predicted by our theoretical results with small relative errors, a steady micron-sized jet is issued from the apex of a conical drop. Under these conditions, the jet disintegrates into drops with a very well defined mean diameter, giving rise to a monodisperse micro-emulsion. Here, we demonstrate that the regime in which uniformly-sized drops are produced corresponds to values of the capillary number for which the cone-jet system is globally stable. Interestingly enough, our general stability theory reveals that liquid jets with a cone-jet structure are much more stable than their cylindrical counterparts thanks, mostly, to a capillary stabilization mechanism described here for the first time. Our findings also limit the validity of the type of stability analysis based on the common parallel flow assumption to only those situations in which the liquid jet diameter is almost constant.

description: On the basis of contract law stands the principle of contractual freedom, which means the freedom of the parties to conclude a contract on the basis of their free will, in the conditions accepted by them themselves, within the limits provided by law. This principle is provided in all modern civil codes, among others also in Article 660 of the Albanian Civil Code. In its function is the principle of good faith. As good contracts are needed in commerce, the principle of good faith in the civil law countries refers to the set of obligations, which contracting parties have towards each other. The aim of this paper is to analyse the contractual freedom, particularly in an economic perspective, emphasizing briefly its history, the legal provisions, its importance and if there are cases in which the restriction of this fundamental freedom is allowed.

Preconditioning of Calves from the Feedyard Perspective
Creators: name: Jordan, Tim
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1986

description: Young calves or freshly weaned calves that are placed directly on high grain concentrate feeding can be expected to experience increased health-related problems compared to cattle of yearling age. Survey data of feedlot cattle in Texas generated by Bechtol and Jordan (I) show that morbidity and mortality averaged 7.29% and 0.70%, respectively. Work in Kansas and Nebraska (2) shows closely related figures.

description: This article describes the KEOMA's development, a low cost robot. KEOMA is an interesting tool to contextualize the contents learned in class on a ludic way. The main aspect is the use of cheap electronic components and recycled material in its construction. KEOMA was experimented as a tool to teach programming concepts for Science and Technology students of the University of the State of Rio Grande do Norte (UERN). The results show an alternative platform used in educational robotics, making robotics more accessible, decreasing the complexity in its construction and making easier computer programming.
Is Preconditioning Doomed to Fail?
Creators: name: King, Dell

description: I appreciate the opportunity to speak with you this afternoon. All of us have a common goal-healthy cattle. Cattle health is a number one prerogative at King Livestock Company. Our survival in the cattle order buying business is dependent on shipping healthy cattle and for them to remain healthy during their feeding period. Our customers are looking for fresh country cattle that can be shipped direct to the feedlots. It is almost impossible to purchase load lots of uniform calves in a state that has an average cow herd of 17 head. Therefore, preconditioned sales present to us the next best alternative-commingled calves that are uniform in· quality, size and medical history. While this isn't as ideal as "one owner" load cattle, it is similar. In the past, when we shipped "put together cattle" out of sales, I lived in fear of our customers having health problems with their cattle, and they almost always did. We finally learned a better way to serve them. To ship any distance, we either buy fresh country cattle, preconditioned cattle or one owner cattle or we don't buy any! We have tried to establish a good reputation in shipping healthy cattle during the past 18 years. Preconditioning has been a valuable tool in helping us keep our calves healthy. We believe the program benefits calves much more than yearling cattle, but has some positive effect on yearlings as well.

description: We study the local unitary equivalence of arbitrary dimensional multipartite quantum mixed states. We present a necessary and sufficient criterion of the local unitary equivalence for general multipartite states based on matrix realignment. The criterion is shown to be operational even for particularly degenerated states by detailed examples. Besides, explicit expressions of the local unitary operators are constructed for locally equivalent states. In complement to the criterion, an alternative approach based on partial transposition of matrices is also given, which makes the criterion more effective in dealing with generally degenerated mixed states.

description: This report serves as supplementary documentation that accompanies the Release 1 of the code that is being developed by TID and FOGUS in the context of EVOLVED-5G project in order to realize the Core Function of CAPIF, i.e., the main entity of the CAPIF Functional Architecture.
 The scope of the development process reported in this document is twofold. First, to provide a description of the tool that realizes the CAPIF Core Function (CCF), i.e., a tool that implements all the CCF APIs as a bunch of services; Second, to provide a set of test plans that allows any third party that implements the other architectural components i.e., the API invoker and/or the API provider to check whether it can properly (as defined in the related 3GPP standards) interact with the CCF.
Wormholes in higher dimensional space-time: Exact solutions and their linear stability analysis

description: We derive the simplest traversable wormhole solutions in $n$-dimensional general relativity, assuming static and spherically symmetric spacetime with a ghost scalar field. This is the generalization of the Ellis solution (or the so-called Morris-Thorne's traversable wormhole) into a higher-dimension. We also study their stability using linear perturbation analysis. We obtain the master equation for the perturbed gauge-invariant variable and search their eigenvalues. Our analysis shows that all higher-dimensional wormholes have an unstable mode against the perturbations with which the throat radius is changed. The instability is consistent with the earlier numerical analysis in four-dimensional solution.

description: We present Hubble Space Telescope near-infrared transmission spectroscopy of the transiting hot-Jupiter HAT-P-1b. We observed one transit with Wide Field Camera 3 using the G141 low-resolution grism to cover the wavelength range 1.087- 1.678 μm. These time series observations were taken with the newly available spatial scan mode that increases the duty cycle by nearly a factor of two, thus improving the resulting photometric precision of the data. We measure a planet-to-star radius ratio of Rp/R*=0.11709+/-0.00038 in the white light curve with the centre of transit occurring at 2456114.345+/-0.000133 (JD). We achieve S/N levels per exposure of 1840 (0.061%) at a resolution of {Δλ}=19.2nm (R~70) in the 1.1173 - 1.6549μm spectral region, providing the precision necessary to probe the transmission spectrum of the planet at close to the resolution limit of the instrument. We compute the transmission spectrum using both single target and differential photometry with similar results. The resultant transmission spectrum shows a significant absorption above the 5-σ level matching the 1.4μm water absorption band. In solar composition models, the water absorption is sensitive to the ~1 mbar pressure levels at the terminator. The detected absorption agrees with that predicted by an 1000 K isothermal model, as well as with that predicted by a planetary-averaged temperature model.

description: When requests are made to veterinarians as herd health-management professionals by cow-calf producers for comprehensive programs many thoughts come to mind. The most important area involves the current level of production in the clients business and our ability to improve it. Is the outfit a "productive, efficient, market driven, risk-management operation"? Although this combination of frequently used words is somewhat overwhelming at first thought, it defines the direction of thinking in today's agribusiness oriented livestock enterprise. 1 The demand for consultation and direction in food animal production is increasing.2 3 4 5 6 7 10 How is a ranching enterprise evaluated and what is the basis for making recommendations for improvements where deficiencies are found? Herd records. Information reflecting unique situations in each herd provide facts and give direction. Records are necessary for an objective business-like approach to the cow-calf enterprise.
