Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.An intrusion of the Angola Current (AC) into northern Namibian waters occurred during the austral summer/autumn of 1999, with signals of high temperatures and salinities. This intrusion followed the continental slope, but was displaced offshore during strong southeasterly winds that caused upwelling at the coast. The upwelling front coincided with a sharp boundary between equatorward flow inshore, and southward flow offshore. Two multidisciplinary zonal transects were surveyed across this intrusion and its associated frontal systems. Sea surface temperatures and wind data were obtained from satellite. The AC-intrusion contained tropical fish larvae. Inshore the Benguela fauna had characteristics of anomalously warm conditions. Only larvae of one neustonic species showed increasing lengths with Ekman drift. Otherwise the cross-slope species composition and age distributions showed unusual features. The age minimum of shelf species occurred above the continental slope and overlapped with the occurrence of oceanic species from very different habitats. Both the hydrographic and faunistic structures resulted from opposing meridional flows over time scales as different as 6 days to 4 weeks, intense mixing in the friction zone between them, and the westward displacement of a mesoscale gyre at the tip of the AC-intrusion contributing its own anticyclonic flowfield and associated larval transport both onshore and offshore. A conceptual transport model is presented.
title: Using circuit-level power measurements in household energy management systems

description: The first requirement for any intelligent household energy management system is to be able to accurately measure energy usage in the home. Measuring energy usage is not difficult; however we must decide what to measure. Whole-home energy measurement is cheap and easy to setup because only one sensor is placed where the home connects to the power grid. The collected data can provide useful information for large appliances. However, the only way to monitor the energy usage of smaller devices is to install an energy meter on every device of interest. This creates a very detailed picture of household energy consumption, but requires a lot of additional hardware--one meter per device in the home. Here we explore an alternative, more practical, approach to monitor household energy usage including small devices. Our approach uses circuit-level power measurements and a new method to separate aggregate data into device-level estimates. Our initial evaluation resulted in an average error less than 5.35% for three devices with good response to changing device state. We therefore believe that this approach, coupled with a device-level control system, would create an ideal architecture for the next generation of household energy management systems.

description: We study approximation of Boolean functions by low-degree polynomials over the ring $\mathbb{Z}/2^k\mathbb{Z}$. More precisely, given a Boolean function $F:\{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$, define its $k$-lift to be $F_k:\{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,2^{k-1}\}$ by $F_k(x) = 2^{k-F(x)} \pmod {2^k}$. We consider the fractional agreement (which we refer to as $γ_{d,k}(F)$) of $F_k$ with degree $d$ polynomials from $\mathbb{Z}/2^k\mathbb{Z}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. Our results are the following: - Increasing $k$ can help: We observe that as $k$ increases, $γ_{d,k}(F)$ cannot decrease. We give two kinds of examples where $γ_{d,k}(F)$ actually increases. The first is an infinite family of functions $F$ such that $γ_{2d,2}(F) - γ_{3d-1,1}(F) \geq Ω(1)$. The second is an infinite family of functions $F$ such that $γ_{d,1}(F)\leq\frac{1}{2}+o(1)$ -- as small as possible -- but $γ_{d,3}(F) \geq \frac{1}{2}+Ω(1)$. - Increasing $k$ doesn't always help: Adapting a proof of Green [Comput. Complexity, 9(1):16-38, 2000], we show that irrespective of the value of $k$, the Majority function $\mathrm{Maj}_n$ satisfies $γ_{d,k}(\mathrm{Maj}_n) \leq \frac{1}{2}+\frac{O(d)}{\sqrt{n}}$. In other words, polynomials over $\mathbb{Z}/2^k\mathbb{Z}$ for large $k$ do not approximate the majority function any better than polynomials over $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. We observe that the model we study subsumes the model of non-classical polynomials in the sense that proving bounds in our model implies bounds on the agreement of non-classical polynomials with Boolean functions. In particular, our results answer questions raised by Bhowmick and Lovett [In Proc. 30th Computational Complexity Conf., pages 72-87, 2015] that ask whether non-classical polynomials approximate Boolean functions better than classical polynomials of the same degree.

description: We address the electronic structure of the surface states of topological insulator thin films with embedded local non-magnetic and magnetic impurities. Using the $T$-matrix expansion of the real space Green's function, we derive the local density of electrons states and corresponding spin resolved densities. We show that the effects of the impurities can be tuned by applying an electric field between the surface layers. The emerging magnetic states are expected to play an important role both in ferromagnetic mechanism of magnetic topological insulators as well as in its transport properties. In the case of magnetic impurities, we have categorized the possible cases for different spin-directions of the impurities as well as the spin-direction in which the spin resolved density of electron states is calculated and related this to the spin susceptibility of the system.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fish probiotics can be defined as live microbial cultures which upon addition to the rearing systems through feed or water improves the health of the host. Typically, the efficiency of probiotics is measured as increased survival rates. Both terrestrial and aquatic microorganisms have been suggested and/or tested as fish probiotics, however, the findings are not conclusive. This paper discusses strategies for selection of probionts from the natural fish/fish larvae environment including evaluation of the dominant microflora and occurrence of pathogen-antagonising strains. Further steps in the selection procedure have often focused on the ability of the potential probiont to attach and colonize, however, the present paper discusses possible short-comings of such focus. Instead, model and full scale in vivo trials must be carried out and examples are provided where this approach has been followed. Determining the mechanisms of action of a probiotic culture is essential for evaluation of stability and safety. The need for more detailed, molecular studies in fish probiotics is emphasised. Finally, suggestions are made for areas in aquaculture where the probiotic principle may be applicable.

description: Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC's) in a honeycomb optical lattice are described by a nonlinear Dirac equaton (NLDE) in the long wavelength, mean field limit [1]. The bipartite structure of the lattice appears as pseudospin in the multi-component BEC with states above and below the Dirac point playing the roles of particles and antiparticles. Although much work has been done on NLDE's, the bulk of the literature deals with models with Poincare invariant nonlinearites. In contrast our equations break Poincare symmetry providing an opportunity to study phenomenological models in cosmology and particle physics where this symmetry is not manifest. We present the associated linear stability equations and apply them to the case of weak contact interactions to obtain the quasiparticle energies, states, and stabilities of vortex solutions of the mean field equations. We discuss future applications of our results to problems at the interface between condensed matter and particle physics. [1] L. H. Haddad and L. D.

Using the large quasi-real photon fluxes, we present the γγ->H differential cross section for charmonium and narrow resonance state production at large transverse momentum in ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions. The numerical results demonstrate that the experimental study of ultra-peripheral col-lisions is feasible at RHIC, LHC, and FCC energies.

description: The year 2008 found North America in a state of increased awareness regarding the humane treatment of animals, especially cattle destined for harvest. Of particular concern are the culled dairy cows and calves that are sent to auction markets and harvest plants. Practitioners, producers and slaughter establishments need to be aware of the criteria and expectations necessary to proactively address animal condition. This includes proactive management of on-farm facilities and care, timely cull, careful transport, immediate euthanasia of downed animals and the utilization of auditing criteria to measure results.

description: Euthanasia of cattle under field conditions may be accomplished in a variety of ways. However, few of these methods are as humane as gunshot or penetrating captive bolt combined with either exsanguination, the rapid intravenous injection of a concentrated solution of potassium chloride or pithing of the brain and upper spinal cord. The proper application of either method meets the objectives of inducing immediate loss of consciousness and rapid death without pain or distress to the animal. Persons who perform this task must be technically proficient and have a basic understanding of the most appropriate anatomical landmarks and equipment (firearms or captive bolt) used for humane euthanasia of animals. In the following are some comments relative to indications, application and moral responsibility for conducting humane euthanasia of sick and/or debilitated animals in farm, ranch or other situations where veterinary supervision may, or may not be, available.

description: The radiative transport of photons through arbitrary three-dimensional (3D) structures of dust is a challenging problem due to the anisotropic scattering of dust grains and strong coupling between different spatial regions. The radiative transfer problem in 3D is solved using Monte Carlo or Ray Tracing techniques as no full analytic solution exists for the true 3D structures. We provide the first 3D dust radiative transfer benchmark composed of a slab of dust with uniform density externally illuminated by a star. This simple 3D benchmark is explicitly formulated to provide tests of the different components of the radiative transfer problem including dust absorption, scattering, and emission. This benchmark includes models with a range of dust optical depths fully probing cases that are optically thin at all wavelengths to optically thick at most wavelengths. This benchmark includes solutions for the full dust emission including single photon (stochastic) heating as well as two simplifying approximations: One where all grains are considered in equilibrium with the radiation field and one where the emission is from a single effective grain with size-distribution-averaged properties. A total of six Monte Carlo codes and one Ray Tracing code provide solutions to this benchmark. Comparison of the results revealed that the global SEDs are consistent on average to a few percent for all but the scattered stellar flux at very high optical depths. The image results are consistent within 10%, again except for the stellar scattered flux at very high optical depths. The lack of agreement between different codes of the scattered flux at high optical depths is quantified for the first time. We provide the first 3D dust radiative transfer benchmark and validate the accuracy of this benchmark through comparisons between multiple independent codes and detailed convergence tests.

description: Pre-weaning calf health continues to be an important factor in the profitability of beef-cattle operations. Dystocia, diarrhea and pneumonia are the most common syndromes reported as contributing to calfhood disease. Risk factors for preweaning morbidity and mortality include age of dam, environmental temperature at birth, period of birth-time within the calving season, and cow/calf population density. Because calves are born agammaglobunemic, passive transfer provided by colostrum consumption continues to be important. Total immunoglobulin absorption is controlled by colostrum lgG concentration, the amount consumed, and the amount of time elapsing from birth to ingestion. Neonatal diarrhea and calf pneumonia can occur at different calf ages, with pneumonia occurring over a longer calf-age range; therefore, management for pneumonia must concentrate on the entire birth-to-weaning time period. A challenge in stimulating immunity to respiratory pathogens is selecting the appropriate vaccine at the most likely time to generate a protective response. Stimulation of active immunity in calves is somewhat dependent on colostrum quality and quantity consumed, the pathogen protected against, and the time period when maternal antibodies decrease to non-interference levels may be unique for each calf. Neutralizing antibody measures suggest that calves vaccinated in the presence of high maternal antibodies do not mount an immune response. However, some studies suggest vaccination, in the presence of maternal antibodies, results in a response not measurable by neutralizing antibodies, but nonetheless protective against clinical illness. The objective of this paper is to describe risk factors and control measures for pre-weaning diseases specifically focused on pneumonia.

Year: 2008

description: Rotational grazing is a topic frequently discussed among forage producers. Many testimonials have been made regarding the benefits of rotational grazing. Some claim that simply implementing a rotational grazing system will allow doubling or even tripling stocking rates and total elimination of fertilizer inputs. These claims are far from true; however, rotational grazing does offer substantial benefits to cattle producers located in the humid eastern US, including improved animal productivity, increased plant persistence, conservation of environmental resources, and improved animal temperament. This article gives a general overview of rotational grazing, with examples taken in part from Southern Forages (3rd ed) and a large, three-year grazing study conducted by Drs. Hoveland, McCann, and Hill at the University of Georgia.

description: Parasite resistance to the macrocyclic lactones (ivermectin, doramectin, eprinomectin, and moxidectin) is receiving considerable attention in the US cattle industry at a time when the economics of parasitism constitute one of the most important factors involved in beef production. Knowing whether a dewormer is effective is extremely important to an operation. If parasites become resistant to a particular product or product formulation, a serious problem can develop unknowingly unless producers have an easy way to determine product efficacy. The fecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) is a simple test recommended by the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists (AAVP) as the best way for the practitioner to help producers verify that the dewormer(s) they are using is effective. The FECRT involves conducting a fecal check at the time of treatment and again 14 days following treatment. In the fall of 2007 continuing through the summer of 2008, free lab support was offered to bovine practitioners throughout the US to conduct FECRTs with their clients. This was done according to a standard protocol involving a minimum of 20 samples per treatment group at each collection time. The results are being recorded in a national data base supported by Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health and the University of Nevada-Reno. Over 58 veterinary clinics in 19 states have already participated in this program, with over 119 separate tests involving 4,765 samples using a wide range of products and formulations. These data confirm that macrocyclic lactone resistance is widespread and that continued vigilance is required by the veterinary profession, since the problem now appears to be at a critical stage with millions of dollars in production losses at stake.

The most important of these is the horn fly, Haematobia irritans (L.) followed by the face fly, Musca autumnalis De Geer and the stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans (L.). Less important because of their restricted infestation area are several species of black flies (Simuliidae species), biting gnats (Culicoides), deer flies (Tabanidae) and horse flies, mosquitoes and two species of heel flies (cattle grubs). All of these species except the face fly and the heel flies are blood feeders. Several species can transmit disease to cattle.

description: The beef industry plays an important role within the American economy mandating special consideration regarding terrorism threats. Deliberate introduction of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) poses the most influential and immediate threat to the industry. Given the lagging nature of identifying an outbreak, the rate of spread of a FMD outbreak would depend on the location of the epicenter(s) of the outbreak(s) and the extent of livestock and human movement out of the infected area(s). However, extended stop-movement orders across important geographical areas could impose serious ramifications upon the beef industry stemming from both direct and indirect economic effects. As such, improvement of security at the feedyard level possesses large upside potential. Ideally, all feedyard operations would operate within completely secure facilities, utilize dedicated and certified supply networks, and possess clearly outlined contingency plans in the event of an emergency. Such investment into basic planning and preventive security measures is critical to preventing potential commerce disruptions in business operations. Terrorism threats are relatively new to agriculture. The looming threat requires the industry to increasingly focus upon food security and requires coalitions across multiple disciplines. Producers at all stages of the production chain need to become increasingly proactive to ensure commerce continuity and avoid catastrophic losses.

description: Veterinarians are becoming increasingly involved in nutritional management on their clients' dairies, and are more frequently being consulted about feed quality and feed delivery issues. Many fresh cow problems that veterinarians treat are nutritionally related and cannot be resolved without making changes in nutritional management around the time of parturition. Maximizing feed quality, regardless of whether the feedstuff is harvested on-farm or is purchased, is extremely important in maximizing profitability and minimizing disease on the dairy farm. Maintaining feed quality during storage and feedout is equally important. Dairy feeds can be classified into five general categories: 1) fermented forages, 2) dry forages, 3) commodities, 4) additives and 5) vitamin-mineral packages. Even though feed quality management is generally focused on forages, other categories of feedstuffs should also be addressed. Veterinarians need to be well-informed on feed quality issues, regardless of whether or not they are doing actual ration formulation on the farm.

description: Ketosis, generally measured as increased concentrations of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) in the blood, is common in dairy cattle and caused by a period of negative energy balance that is nearly ubiquitous at the beginning of lactation. The consequences of ketosis include increased risk of other diseases and decreased production and reproductive performance. Propylene glycol (PG) has been recommended for treatment of ketosis because of its role in gluconeogenesis, and has recently been shown to be effective for the treatment of subclinical ketosis in a large-scale clinical field trial. It has been hypothesized that administration of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) may increase gluconeogenesis by increasing the activity of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, a vitamin B12-dependent enzyme and important component of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Results of a recent study conducted on 1 herd suggested that a combination of butaphosphan-cyanocobalamin (B+C; Catosal®, Bayer Animal Health) was efficacious for the treatment of cows with ketosis. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of B+C and the duration of PG treatment (3 vs 5 days) on ketosis resolution and early lactation milk yield in dairy cows.

description: Milk production and reproductive performance can decrease as a result of hyperketonemia in lactating dairy cows. In addition, cows with hyperketonemia are at higher risk of developing a variety of diseases including displaced abomasum, metritis, retained placenta, and clinical ketosis, and are more likely to be culled. The negative impact of hyperketonemia can be observed at both the individual-cow and herd levels. As a result, significant economic losses might be encountered in dairy herds with a high incidence of hyperketonemia.

description: A hyperlink is a finite set of non-intersecting simple closed curves in $\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^3$. Let $S$ be an orientable surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$. The dynamical variables in General Relativity are the vierbein $e$ and a $\mathfrak{su}(2)\times\mathfrak{su}(2)$-valued connection $ω$. Together with Minkowski metric, $e$ will define a metric $g$ on the manifold. Denote $A_S(e)$ as the area of $S$, for a given choice of $e$. The Einstein-Hilbert action $S(e,ω)$ is defined on $e$ and $ω$. We will quantize the area of the surface $S$ by integrating $A_S(e)$ against a holonomy operator of a hyperlink $L$, disjoint from $S$, and the exponential of the Einstein-Hilbert action, over the space of vierbeins $e$ and $\mathfrak{su}(2)\times\mathfrak{su}(2)$-valued connections $ω$. Using our earlier work done on Chern-Simons path integrals in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we will write this infinite dimensional path integral as the limit of a sequence of Chern-Simons integrals. Our main result shows that the area operator can be computed from a link-surface diagram between $L$ and $S$. By assigning an irreducible representation of $\mathfrak{su}(2)\times\mathfrak{su}(2)$ to each component of $L$, the area operator gives the total net momentum impact on the surface $S$.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Non-specific immunostimulation is expected to become important in a strategy to obtain better control of the microbial conditions in intensive culture of marine fish larvae. Compounds that are documented to have immunostimulatory effects on fish, are β-1,3-glucans and High-M-alginates. Studies performed with orally delivered High-M-alginate through rotifers and Artemia to cultivated marine larvae and juveniles in vivo, have shown positive effects on growth, survival, disease- and stress resistance and protein turnover rates. Studies performed in vitro on macrophages from adult fish have confirmed that superoxide production and phagocytotic activity is stimulated by High-M-alginate, and hence that the positive effects in larval and juvenile stages can be attributed to stimulation of the non-specific immune system.

description: The pathophysiology of bronchopneumonia (BP) is such that peripheral airways fill with neutrophilic exudate, which results in pulmonary consolidation and atelectasis. This exudate increases the proportion of neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), with proportions ranging from 10% to 20% suggestive of BP. Pulmonary ultrasonography (US), which differentiates between aerated and nonaerated lung tissue, has good sensitivity (Se = 85%) and specificity (Sp = 98%) for detection of BP in clinically ill calves and might be useful for diagnosis of subclinical BP. The purpose of this study was to compare thoracic US with BALF as a means to diagnose subclinical BP in dairy calves, with gross postmortem examination used as the gold standard.

description: Bronchopneumonia (BP) is a disease process that reduces the well-being and economic potential of dairy replacement animals and is a world-wide issue. Clinical signs are variable and frequently inapparent or non-specific, which often results in misclassification of affected animals. Misclassification causes the inappropriate use of antimicrobials and reduces labor efficiency for the operation. At the research level, proper classification is instrumental in achieving an unbiased investigation of the individual animal or whole herd. Thoracic ultrasonography (US), which detects consolidated lung tissue, is a potentially fast and reliable method for diagnosing BP. Studies conducted to determine how quickly lung consolidation develops following bacterial infection by use of antemortem methods, such as thoracic US, are lacking. Results of studies that used postmortem methods suggest that inflammatory infiltrates develop in the lower airways within 2 to 3 hours after infection. Ultrasonography might detect exudate-filled airways equally soon after infection. The purpose of this study was to describe the progression of lung consolidation as determined by US after experimental infection of dairy calves with Mannheimia haemolytica.

description: We present a parallel network of 16 demagnetization refrigerators mounted on a cryofree dilution refrigerator aimed to cool nanoelectronic devices to sub-millikelvin temperatures. To measure the refrigerator temperature, the thermal motion of electrons in a Ag wire -- thermalized by a spot-weld to one of the Cu nuclear refrigerators -- is inductively picked-up by a superconducting gradiometer and amplified by a SQUID mounted at 4 K. The noise thermometer as well as other thermometers are used to characterize the performance of the system, finding magnetic field independent heat-leaks of a few nW/mol, cold times of several days below 1 mK, and a lowest temperature of 150 microK of one of the nuclear stages in a final field of 80 mT, close to the intrinsic SQUID noise of about 100 microK. A simple thermal model of the system capturing the nuclear refrigerator, heat leaks, as well as thermal and Korringa links describes the main features very well, including rather high refrigerator efficiencies typically above 80%.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.An immunostimulant/immunomodulator may be defined as a substance that stimulates leucocytes- particularly cells of the mononulear phagocyte system and thereby modulates, most often potentiates the body´s immune system (Seljelid 1990). The term immunostimulant is often used interchangeably with immunomodulators, adjuvants and biological response modifiers. An immunostimulant may be given alone to alter the innate immune system/non-specific defence mechanisms, or it may be administrated together with other substances (e.g. vaccine constituents) to enhance both innate defence mechanisms and acquired defence mechanisms simultaneously. The innate defence mechanisms are important in the protection of all multicellular organisms against pathogens. Phagocytes (e.g. macrophages and granulocytes) play a central role in the innate defence system and are present throughout the animal kingdom. Most immunostimulants are of microbial origin, examples are bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), peptidoglycan and ß-glucans

description: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) causes significant economic loss to the beef cattle industry. Mannheimia haemolytica (MH) is considered the predominant bacterial pathogen associated with BRD. The purpose of this randomized, blinded, controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of metaphylactic administration of tildipirosin or tulathromycin 10 days prior to experimental inoculation with MH on the development of pulmonary lesions in beef heifers.

description: Clinical History: A 52-year-old diabetic and hypertensive gentleman with a history of dyspnoea came to department of diagnostic & interventional radiology for CT-guided biopsy from a newly diagnosed left lung lesion. Following the informed written consent patient was placed prone position in 128 slice CT scanner machine as his preoperative lab (Platelets count, PT/INR) were within normal limits. Under local anaesthesia & all aseptic precaution, a coaxial biopsy system with a 17-gauge introducer needle and an 18-gauge core biopsy needle (length16 cm, Semiautomatic Core Biopsy Instrument) was selected for this procedure. Once the introducer needle had reached the lesion, the internal stylet was removed along with flow of NS (to avoid passage of atmospheric air) and the core biopsy needle was inserted to procure specimen. After the second core of specimen (HPE: non-small cell carcinoma-squamous cell carcinoma), minimal air was seen in the left ventricle & descending thoracic aorta (Possible mechanism: via transient Broncho-venous fistula or other communication between air containing spaces and pulmonary veins) hence procedure was halted & patient was placed in Trendelenburg position with 100% oxygen. The last scan (after 10 min) showed the resolution of the air (dissolution via blood air mixing.). The patient did not have any symptoms; vitals were normal, no neurological changes were noted. He was observed for 24hrs then discharged in stable conditions.

description: Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) causes significant economic loss in both the beef and dairy cattle industries. A major factor in the perpetuation of the virus in a herd of cattle is the presence of persistently infected (PI) animals. They continuously shed virus and often go unnoticed. Control measures currently advise testing of all animals in a herd for the presence of BVDV. While ear notching can accurately detect a PI animal, it is labor intensive and costly. For this reason the development of a non-invasive, cost-saving method to detect the virus within a group of cattle would be beneficial to the industry.

description: Worldwide, bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infects cattle of all ages, resulting in huge economic loss due to ensuing morbidity and death. Persistent infection (Pl) of calves results from in utero infection of a fetus with a non-cytopathic strain of BVDV prior to the development of immunocompetency. A PI calf is infected for life and constantly sheds virus in its mucosal secretions. Exposure of naïve cattle to BVDV results in a transient infection (Tl), in which the virus is cleared within weeks of infection. The objective of this study was to detect the presence of BVDV in cattle following direct exposure to PI cattle.
