description: The Transition Cow IndexTM (TCI) is intended to provide an objective measure of transition cow management in a dairy herd. TCI represents the difference between the actual first-test 305-day projected milk produced by a cow and a predicted yield, which is calculated using historical information from each cow. A negative TCI indicates underperformance, whereas a positive TCI indicates that an individual cow's performance has surpassed her predicted level of production. The objective of this study is to describe herd size, rolling herd average, prefresh and fresh pen duration of stay, as well as prefresh and fresh pen bunk space per cow on Wisconsin dairies after stratification by TCI.

description: Ages and masses of young stars are often estimated by comparing their luminosities and effective temperatures to pre-main sequence stellar evolution tracks, but magnetic fields and starspots complicate both the observations and evolution. To understand their influence, we study the heavily-spotted weak-lined T-Tauri star LkCa 4 by searching for spectral signatures of radiation originating from the starspot or starspot groups. We introduce a new methodology for constraining both the starspot filling factor and the spot temperature by fitting two-temperature stellar atmosphere models constructed from Phoenix synthetic spectra to a high-resolution near-IR IGRINS spectrum. Clearly discernable spectral features arise from both a hot photospheric component $T_{\mathrm{hot}} \sim4100$ K and to a cool component $T_{\mathrm{cool}} \sim2700-3000$ K, which covers $\sim80\%$ of the visible surface. This mix of hot and cool emission is supported by analyses of the spectral energy distribution, rotational modulation of colors and of TiO band strengths, and features in low-resolution optical/near-IR spectroscopy. Although the revised effective temperature and luminosity make LkCa 4 appear much younger and lower mass than previous estimates from unspotted stellar evolution models, appropriate estimates will require the production and adoption of spotted evolutionary models. Biases from starspots likely afflict most fully convective young stars and contribute to uncertainties in ages and age spreads of open clusters. In some spectral regions starspots act as a featureless veiling continuum owing to high rotational broadening and heavy line-blanketing in cool star spectra. Some evidence is also found for an anti-correlation between the velocities of the warm and cool components.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In June 2002, a pilot tagging experiment has been conducted by Ifremer on the “Grande Vasière', a nursery area situated in the northern part of the Bay of Biscay. 1307 hakes in the size range 13-58 cm (with a mode at 28 cm) have been tagged and released (de Pontual et al., 2003). To date, 40 have been recovered with a time at liberty from 1 to 440 days. Preliminary results from this experiment indicate that growth could be under-estimated (see poster CM 2004/K:66 ). In this poster, we look at the potential effects changes in growth rates may have on the northern stock assessments of hake and management conducted by ICES. This is carried out by a simulation approach.

description: Astrophysics and Space Science are becoming increasingly characterised by what is now known as "big data", the bottlenecks for progress partly shifting from data acquisition to "data mining". Truth is that the amount and rate of data accumulation in many fields already surpasses the local capabilities for its processing and exploitation, and the efficient conversion of scientific data into knowledge is everywhere a challenge. The result is that, to a large extent, isolated data archives risk being progressively likened to "data graveyards", where the information stored is not reused for scientific work. Responsible and efficient use of these large datasets means democratising access and extracting the most science possible from it, which in turn signifies improving data accessibility and integration. Improving data processing capabilities is another important issue specific to researchers and computer scientists of each field. The project presented here wishes to exploit the enormous potential opened up by information technology at our age to advance a model for a science data center in astronomy which aims to expand data accessibility and integration to the largest possible extent and with the greatest efficiency for scientific and educational use. Greater access to data means more people producing and benefiting from information, whereas larger integration of related data from different origins means a greater research potential and increased scientific impact.The project of the BSDC is preoccupied, primarily, with providing tools and solutions for the Brazilian astronomical community. It nevertheless capitalizes on extensive international experience, and is developed in cooperation with the ASI Science Data Center (ASDC), from the Italian Space Agency, granting it an essential ingredient of internationalisation. The BSDC is Virtual Observatory-compliant.

description: A common trait of current access control approaches is the challenging need to engineer abstract and intuitive access control models. This entails designing access control information in the form of roles (RBAC), attributes (ABAC), or relationships (ReBAC) as the case may be, and subsequently, designing access control rules. This framework has its benefits but has significant limitations in the context of modern systems that are dynamic, complex, and large-scale, due to which it is difficult to maintain an accurate access control state in the system for a human administrator. This paper proposes Deep Learning Based Access Control (DLBAC) by leveraging significant advances in deep learning technology as a potential solution to this problem. We envision that DLBAC could complement and, in the long-term, has the potential to even replace, classical access control models with a neural network that reduces the burden of access control model engineering and updates. Without loss of generality, we conduct a thorough investigation of a candidate DLBAC model, called DLBAC_alpha, using both real-world and synthetic datasets. We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach by addressing issues related to accuracy, generalization, and explainability. We also discuss challenges and future research directions.

description: When some of the brāmhaṇa moved out of Goa at a later date the kuṇabī too seem to have moved with them. For instance there are Konkani speaking kuṇabī in some parts of Kerala who are supposed to have moved there accompanying the sārasvat brāmhaṇa. I do not have documentary evidence. But extensive field work done by Fr. Visitação Monteiro among the kuṇabī in some Kerala villages, points to the movement of sārasvat brāmhaṇa accompanied by kuṇabī from Konkana to Kerala. These migrations are said to have taken place in the 11th and 13th centuries CE; another major movement took place in 1522, according to a stone plaque in Cochin which says : “1522 - Konkanis reached Cochin”. We do not know the reason for the migrations. Some attribute the early migrations to the constant hostility between Shaivites and Vaishnavites that prevailed in Konkan at that time. Others attribute them to economic reasons – the diminishing trade prospects of sārasvat brāmhaṇa following the ascendancy of the Sultanates. The latter migration could be the economic consequence of the advent of the Portuguese. The konkani brāmhaṇa were offered lands in Kerala, which they still hold. According to Monteiro, at some places the entire spice trade is still in the hands of the konkani. The first migrations were to the thriving port city of Kodungallur (Muziris to the Greek, Cranganore to the British); but subsequent to its submergence in 1341, most of the konkani moved to Cochin. Today you find dense konkani settlements in Mattancheri, Vypeen Island and Goshree Islands. According to Monteiro, there are about 10 to 15 lakh konkani kuṇabī in Kerala. Why did the kuṇabī follow the brāmhaṇa ? That could throw some light on the effect of the advent of kshatriya on the earliest settlers in Konkan.

For the Boltzmann equation we consider the scattering kernel of Israel particles which are the relativistic counterpart of Maxwellian particles. Under a smallness assumption on initial data in a suitable norm we show that solutions exist globally in time and isotropize at late times.

description: Data from electronic milk meters that measure milking characteristics such as average flow rate (AFR), amount of milk harvested in the first 2 minutes (2MIN), and seconds below 2.2 lb (1 kg) per minute flow rate (LOW) have been used as indicators of milking efficiency among cows. While these milking characteristics are valuable metrics to optimize efficiency of dairy production systems, the variability in them has not been rigorously investigated. The primary objective of this study was to describe the variability of the milking characteristics AFR (lb/min), 2MIN (lb), and LOW (sec.), both within and between cows. Our secondary objective was to investigate the influence of the explanatory variables milk yield, stage of lactation (DIM), parity, milking time, farm, manual control mode, and teat-end shape on the aforementioned milking characteristics.

The contribution of bulk Comptonization to the soft X-ray excess in AGN

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Bulk velocities exceed thermal velocities for sufficiently radiation pressure dominated accretion flows. We model the contribution of bulk Comptonization to the soft X-ray excess in AGN. Bulk Comptonization is due to both turbulence and the background shear. We calculate spectra both taking into account and not taking into account bulk velocities using scaled data from radiation magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shearing box simulations. We characterize our results with temperatures and optical depths to make contact with other warm Comptonization models of the soft excess. We chose our fiducial mass, $M = 2 \times 10^6 M_{\odot}$, and accretion rate, $L/L_{\rm Edd} = 2.5$, to correspond to those fit to the super-Eddington narrow line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) RE1034+396. The temperatures, optical depths, and Compton $y$ parameters we find broadly agree with those fit to RE1034+396. The effect of bulk Comptonization is to shift the Wien tail to higher energy and lower the gas temperature, broadening the spectrum. Observations of the soft excess in NLS1s can constrain the properties of disc turbulence if the bulk Comptonization contribution can be separated out from contributions from other physical effects, such as reflection and absorption.

description: We prove that, for any finite Blaschke product $w=B(z)$ in the unit disk, the corresponding Riemann surface over the $w$--plane contains a one-sheeted disk of the radius $0.5$. Moreover, it contains a unit one-sheeted disk with a radial slit. We apply this result to obtain a universal sharp lower estimate of the Bloch seminorm for finite Blaschke products.

description: RoBoa is a vine-like search and rescue robot that can explore narrow and cluttered environments such as destroyed buildings. The robot assists rescue teams in finding and communicating with trapped people. It employs the principle of vine robots for locomotion, everting the tip of its tube to move forward. Inside the tube, pneumatic actuators enable lateral movement. The head carries sensors and is mounted outside at the tip of the tube. At the back, a supply box contains the rolled up tube and provides pressurized air, power, computation, as well as an interface for the user to interact with the system. A decentralized control scheme was implemented that reduces the required number of cables and takes care of the low-level control of the pneumatic actuators. The design, characterization, and experimental evaluation of the system and its crucial components is shown. The complete prototype is fully functional and was evaluated in a realistic environment of a collapsed building where the remote-controlled robot was able to repeatedly locate a trapped person after a travel distance of about 10 m.

description: In this letter, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance is analyzed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based amplify-and-forward (AF) relay systems in the presence of carrier frequency offset (CFO) for fading channels. The SNR expression is derived under one-relay-node scenario, and is further extended to multiple-relay-node scenario. Analytical results show that the SNR is quite sensitive to CFO and the sensitivity of the SNR to CFO is mainly determined by the power of the corresponding link channel and gain factor.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The genus Patagonotothen is the most common Nototheniid on the Patagonian Shelf and slope and is part of the by-catch species in the bottom trawl fisheries. This paper presents preliminary results from the EC CRAFT project “Promoting higher added value to a finfish species rejected to sea', aiming to develop the research and the technology necessary to promote higher added value to fishing activity by taking profit from a finfish species (Rockcod, Patagonotothen spp.) not known to consumers and currently discarded by the EU fishing fleet operating in the South West Atlantic in order to supply the EU seafood industry with a good quality raw material for human food manufacturing. Historical fishery data series (26 168 commercial hauls of which 12 745 were positive), including effort, catches and discards, as well as biological and environmental information, from 1988 onwards was used to describe and quantify patterns and spatio-temporal changes in the rockcod fishery. These data was collected by scientific observers on board commercial vessels.GIS analysis was carried out in order to study the seasonal geographical changes in the distribution of abundance, SST and densities calculated from CPUE. Fishery and environmental data as well as SST data derived from the NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), were analysed in order to find monthly variations in spatial and depth distribution of Patagonotothen spp. Preliminary results demonstrated that, within areas of occurrence, there are significant correlations between fish abundance (CPUE), the oceanographic conditions of the area (SST gradients) and depth in certain months.

description: No new antimicrobials have been approved for the treatment of mastitis since 2006; it would be beneficial to perform controlled field trials comparing 2 existing treatments. Non-inferiority trials are valuable in this regard, as they do not require a negative control as in a randomized, controlled FDA drug trial. If a therapy with similar efficacy is available, decision making criteria can include convenience, lower costs, less side effects, improved delivery systems, and better integration into current protocols. The purpose was to perform a non-inferiority comparison of 2 intramammary treatments for clinical mastitis (CM). We intended to show that hetacillin had comparable efficacy to the reference treatment, ceftiofur when considering cure and survival indices.

description: This thesis examines how parental perceptions affect parental involvement in the mathematics education of their secondary school children and how these two factors affect the ways children think about their achievement. The study makes an important contribution by demonstrating key features of involvement which are parental actions such as motivating children in learning, supporting their academic success, and controlling children appropriately. The findings of this study are important not only to parents and children but also to teachers, school administrators, and education policy makers, who need to help foster the parent–child relationship to promote academic success.

description: Exploiting light field data makes it possible to obtain dense and accurate depth map. However, synthetic scenes with limited disparity range cannot contain the diversity of real scenes. By training in synthetic data, current learning-based methods do not perform well in real scenes. In this paper, we propose a self-supervised learning framework for light field depth estimation. Different from the existing end-to-end training methods using disparity label per pixel, our approach implements network training by estimating EPI disparity shift after refocusing, which extends the disparity range of epipolar lines. To reduce the sensitivity of EPI to noise, we propose a new input mode called EPI-Stack, which stacks EPIs in the view dimension. This method is less sensitive to noise scenes than traditional input mode and improves the efficiency of estimation. Compared with other state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method can also obtain higher quality results in real-world scenarios, especially in the complex occlusion and depth discontinuity.

Repair of Fractures in the Field

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2010

description: Effective fracture management in the field requires that the veterinarian evaluate multiple criteria in order to determine if the options for treatment applicable to the field setting are valid orthopedic treatment options, provide adequate patient comfort, and are cost-effective. The age, size, temperament, and intended use of the animal; location and physical characteristics of the fracture; experience of the attending veterinarian; the animal's environment during convalescence; and any economic constraints must be considered together in determining a prognosis and treatment plan. Treatment options commonly available for fracture management in ambulatory practice include stall confinement without external coaptation, cast application, and application of a Thomas splint-cast combination. Investigation of the etiology of the fracture may reveal opportunities for the veterinarian to educate farm or ranch personnel on methods of animal husbandry or handling that can potentially prevent future cases from occurring.

description: ERICs are important both for boosting Excellence in European Science and Innovation as well as for their contribution to the development of the Regional and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialization-RIS3. They act as catalysts of the economic growth by promoting innovation, favouring high-quality employment and trans-national cooperation. In this context, the ERIC FORUM project analyses the synergies between the two sides of this interrelationship: one hand, how Regions can benefit from Research Infrastructures, and on the other hand, how ERICs can gain access to additional resources from regional funding sources, such as European Regional and Structural Funds, and INTERREG. This concerted approach would create a window of opportunity for RIs and Regions through a synergistic development and growth, which would address the needs of the Regions for access in knowledge and innovation creation and at the same time it would help the ERICs to get actively involved in the primary Regional and local issues and find support for their economic sustainability. A win-win situation for all European Regions and ERICs.

description: Non-mass dependent chromium isotopic signatures have been successfully used to determine the presence and identification of extra-terrestrial materials in terrestrial impact rocks. Paleoproterozoic spherule layers from Greenland (Graenseso) and Russia (Zaonega), as well as some distal ejecta deposits (Lake Superior region) from the Sudbury impact (1,849 +/- 0.3 Ma) event, have been analyzed for their Cr isotope compositions. Our results suggest that 1) these distal ejecta deposits are all of impact origin, 2) the Graenseso and Zaonega spherule layers contain a distinct carbonaceous chondrite component, and are possibly related to the same impact event, which could be Vredefort (2,023 +/- 4 Ma) or another not yet identified large impact event from that of similar age, and 3) the Sudbury ejecta record a complex meteoritic signature, which is different from the Graenseso and Zaonega spherule layers, and could indicate the impact of a heterogeneous chondritic body.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Porcupine Bank located at SW Ireland (ICES Divisions VIIb,c,j,k) combines some seabed and environmental characteristics (depth, currents, sedimentology) that support a high productive fishing ground of valuable bottom species (hake, anglerfish, megrim and Norway lobster –Nephrops norvegicus-). Spanish, Irish, French and UK fleets are involved in the exploitation of a mixed fishery in the area. Total annual catches of Nephrops from the area have fluctuated between 1282 to 2925 tonnes in 1980-2002 (ICES, 2003). Spanish fleet landed around 2700 t between 1979 and 1985, but current landings are about 276 t. This study aims to evaluate the distribution and mapping of the Nephrops resource in the area.
Management of Cull Feeder Cattle

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2010

description: Every cattle-feeding operation has animals that fail to meet standard health and/or performance expectations. This may be the result of illness and failure to respond to therapy, an aversion to environmental conditions, or a low pecking order within the hierarchy of the pen. If the immune system and metabolic status of the animal fails to adjust or recover from the challenges, a degenerative state of health and performance is likely to follow. As a result, the animal may be moved to a convalescent or long-term recovery pen where additional management programs may be applied. Upon entering this salvage program, the animal may be classified as a "chronic", "realizer", or "railer". Multiple management strategies can be utilized to return the animal to a productive state, or sell through an alternative marketing program. However, in certain instances, the veterinarian and the producer must concede to a progressive and degenerative condition that requires an immediate decision for the health and well-being of the affected animal.

description: John Nash has proposed a new theory of gravity. We define a Nash-tensor equal to the curvature tensor appearing in the Nash field equations for empty space, and calculate its components for two cases. 1. A static, spherically symmetric space, and 2. The expanding, homogeneous and isotropic space of the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe models. We find the general, exact solution of the Nash field equations for empty space in the static case. The line element turns out to represent the Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime. Also we find the simplest non-trivial solution of the field equations in the cosmological case, which gives the scale factor corresponding to the de Sitter spacetime. Hence empty space in the Nash theory corresponds to a space with Lorentz Invariant Vacuum Energy (LIVE) in the Einstein theory. This suggests that dark energy may be superfluous according to the Nash theory. We also consider a radiation filled universe model in an effort to find out how energy and matter may be incorporated into the Nash theory. A tentative interpretation of the Nash theory as a unified theory of gravity and electromagnetism leads to a very simple form of the field equations in the presence of matter. It should be noted, however, that the Nash theory is still unfinished. A satifying way of including energy-momentum into the theory has yet to be found.

Feedlot Heat Stress Checklist

description: The thermo-comfort zone varies greatly for beef cattle. Young animals have a narrow comfort zone between 45 and 80°F (7.2 and 26.6°C). The comfort zone of feedlot cattle and mature cows will range from subzero temperatures in the winter to around 75°F (23.8°C) in the summer, depending on body condition, hair coat length and plane of nutrition. This wide comfort zone allows cattle to thrive under diverse climatic conditions with little or no need for shelter or protection. However, unlike humans, who can be reasonably comfortable when exposed to normal summer temperatures, feedlot cattle have difficulty coping with temperatures above 90°F (31.9°C). This is particularly true when humidity is high or wind speed is low, especially when cattle have had little or no chance to adapt to excessive heat loads.

description: Catastrophic forgetting is of special importance in reinforcement learning, as the data distribution is generally non-stationary over time. We study and compare several pseudorehearsal approaches for Q-learning with function approximation in a pole balancing task. We have found that pseudorehearsal seems to assist learning even in such very simple problems, given proper initialization of the rehearsal parameters.
Recommendations for Castration and Dehorning of Cattle

Year: 2010

description: Pain associated with routine husbandry procedures such as dehorning and castration is increasingly being scrutinized by the public. The results of a survey of AABP and AVC members suggest that surgical castration with a scalpel followed by emasculator (>200 lb or 90 kg) or twisting ( <200 lb or 90 kg) is the most common castration method used by practitioners in the United States. Risk of injury to the operator, calf size, handling facilities, and experience were the most important considerations in selecting a castration method. Non-surgical castration is perceived to cause more adverse events than surgical castration. One in five veterinarians currently report using anesthesia or analgesia at the time of castration. Ninety percent of veterinarians vaccinate and dehorn at the time of castration. The Barnes dehorning tool appears to be the most common method of dehorning used in the US. Results of studies that use plasma cortisol or weight gain to determine the optimal timing and method of castration and use of analgesia are often equivocal or conflicting. The preliminary findings of a study using electroencephalography to examine the effect of age at the time of castration on brainwave activity show a more prominent shift toward high-frequency, low-amplitude brain activity in older calves compared with six-week-old calves. Meloxicam tablets administered orally at 0.45 mg/lb (1 mg/kg) may provide a convenient and cost-effective means of providing analgesia in cattle. A mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of3.10 ug/mL (Range: 2.64- 3.79 ug/mL) was recorded at 11.64 hours (Range: 10 - 12 hours) with a half-life (T ½ Az) of 27.54 hours (Range: 19.97 - 43.29 hours) after oral meloxicam administration. In recent studies we found that meloxicam administered prior to dehorning at 0.23 mg/lb (0.5 mg/kg) IV significantly increased average daily weight gain in calves after dehorning. A second study found that calves receiving oral meloxicam 24 hours prior to surgical castration tended to have a lower incidence of bovine respiratory disease.

description: The manipulation of quantum coherence is one of the principal issues in the resource theory of coherence, with two critical topics being the purification and enhancement of coherence. Here, we present two no-go theorems for the deterministic purification of coherence and the probabilistic enhancement of coherence, respectively. Specifically, we prove that a quantum state cannot be deterministically purified if it can be expressed as a convex combination of an incoherent state and a coherent state. Besides, we give an easy-to-verified sufficient and necessary condition to determine whether a state can be probabilistically enhanced via a stochastic strictly incoherent operation (sSIO). Our findings provide two feasibility criteria for the deterministic purification and the probabilistic enhancement of coherence, respectively. These results have repercussions on the understanding of quantum coherence in real quantum systems.

description: Major consumer concerns exist over current dairy practices that relate to herd size and "factory farming", lack of grazing in our production systems, and the "hyper-production" of our dairy cows. If we are to believe animal activists and mainstream media, largescale confinement dairy herds are places where cows are forced to milk around the clock, and individuals are pushed to the breaking point with the use of hormones and feed additives, resulting in metabolic disease, poor well-being, and premature death. Using three real herds as examples, this article discusses the pros and cons of different production systems and asks whether there is any truth behind these claims. Have we pushed the dairy cow to metabolic breaking point and forgotten about animal welfare - or is there a different story to tell?

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Norwegian spring-spawning (NSS) herring lives in a seasonal environment where food is abundant during a short period of the year. During that period NSS herring store energy for the rest of the year, including reproduction next spring. We describe changes in body mass during the feeding migration. We also use a bioenergetics model to estimate the consumption required to fuel weight gain and migration costs, and we relate this to the life cycle and production of Calanus finmarchicus, the main prey of NSS herring
