description: Memristors based on a double barrier design have been analysed by various nano spectroscopic methods to unveil details about its microstructure and conduction mechanism. The device consists of an AlOx tunnel barrier and a NbOy/Au Schottky barrier sandwiched between Nb bottom electrode and Au top electrode. As it was anticipated that the local chemical composition of the tunnel barrier, i.e. oxidation state of the metals as well as concentration and distribution of oxygen ions, have a major influence on electronic conduction, these factors were carefully analysed. A combined approach was chosen in order to reliably investigate electronic states of Nb and O by electron energy-loss spectroscopy as well as map elements whose transition edges exhibit a different energy range by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy like Au and Al. The results conclusively demonstrate significant oxidation of the bottom electrode as well as a small oxygen vacancy concentration in the Al oxide tunnel barrier. Possible scenarios to explain this unexpected additional oxide layer are discussed and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations were applied in order to identify its influence on conduction mechanisms in the device. In light of the strong deviations between observed and originally sought layout, this study highlights the robustness in terms of structural deviations of the double barrier memristor device.

description: Johne's disease is an incurable, chronic, infectious enteritis of ruminants. It has been identified as one of the top animal health priorities for the Canadian dairy industry by the Dairy Farmers of Canada. As such, the Atlantic Johne's Disease Initiative (AJDI) was launched as a voluntary, long-term farm strategy. The overall objective of the program is to reduce the spread, prevalence, and overall impact of J ohne's disease in Atlantic Canada through education, strategic testing, and management programs. This report outlines program implementation statistics, preliminary prevalence data, and primary management plan recommendations.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental contaminants that are released into the marine environment through oil spills, domestic heating, traffic and power plants. Fish exposed to PAHs show only trace amounts of these compounds in their tissues. Instead, PAHs are readily transformed into more hydrophilic metabolites, which are excreted through bile. Thus fish bile PAH-metabolites can be used as a biomarker of exposure of fish to PAHs in the field. For background knowledge perch were exposed in laboratory to two concentrations (0.5 and 2.5 mg per litre) of Russian crude oil for one and three weeks and sampled thereafter. In addition, perch were sampled near an oil refinery and at a reference site in the Gulf of Finland, and salmon were sampled in four areas of the Baltic Sea. PAH-metabolites in bile were analysed by a HPLC method with fluorescent detection. Four PAH-metabolites were detected in bile of exposed perch and the concentrations of these increased dose-dependently and according to the exposure time. In the field-sampled perch and salmon only 1-OH-pyrene, which was the dominating metabolite in bile of oil-exposed perch, was detected. In the field samples its concentration was about one third of that of perch exposed for one week and one tenth of that in three-week exposure. In perch the concentration of 1-OH-pyrene was higher near the oil refinery than in the reference area, and in salmon at the order of magnitude of the field-sampled perch varying according to the supposed pollution state of the sampling area in the Baltic Sea.

description: The payload of communications satellites must go through a series of tests to assert their ability to survive in space. Each test involves some equipment of the payload to be active, which has an impact on the temperature of the payload. Sequencing these tests in a way that ensures the thermal stability of the payload and minimizes the overall duration of the test campaign is a very important objective for satellite manufacturers. The problem can be decomposed in two sub-problems corresponding to two objectives: First, the number of distinct configurations necessary to run the tests must be minimized. This can be modeled as packing the tests into configurations, and we introduce a set of implied constraints to improve the lower bound of the model. Second, tests must be sequenced so that the number of times an equipment unit has to be switched on or off is minimized. We model this aspect using the constraint Switch, where a buffer with limited capacity represents the currently active equipment units, and we introduce an improvement of the propagation algorithm for this constraint. We then introduce a search strategy in which we sequentially solve the sub-problems (packing and sequencing). Experiments conducted on real and random instances show the respective interest of our contributions.

description: For producers motivated to reduce the use of antimicrobials on their farms, teat sealant-based selective dry-cow therapy (SDCT) offers an alternative to blanket dry-cow therapy (BDCT). Under a SDCT program, antimicrobial dry-cow preparations (DCT) are reserved for cows that are suspected, or known, to have an intramammary infection (IMI) at dry-off. Internal teat sealants (ITS) are a non-antimicrobial treatment that have been shown to be protective against new IMI during the entire dry period. Internal teat sealants are recommended for all cows as they enter the dry period, but their role is particularly important for cows not selected to receive DCT in a SDCT program. Determination of a cow's IMI status at dry-off is essential to the success of any SDCT program. Petrifilms are culture media plates that allow producers to culture milk on-farm, with results available in 24 hours. Petrifilms had a sensitivity of 85.2% and a specificity of 73.2% when used to diagnose IMIs in low somatic cell count (SCC; < 200,000 cells/mL) cows at dry-off. The objective of this study was to compare IMI at calving between cows that received BDCT and cows selectively treated on the basis of Petrifilm culture results.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In spring and autumn 2001 and 2002, acetylcholinesterase activity, metallothionein level, micronuclei, and apoptosis were measured in blue mussel and flounder (additionally bile PAH-metabolites were measured in flounder) collected along a suspected pollution gradient in the coastal zone of Nemirseta, Butinge and Palanga. Biomarkers in flounder from the Klaipeda offshore (reference site) zone were analysed in December 2001. The Palanga zone was originally considered as coastal reference site, but an oil spill occurred in the Butinge oil terminal in November 2001, causing contamination of this area. The results of this multi-biomarker study shows that the lowest level of genotoxicity and cytotoxicity exists in organisms sampled from offshore and from Palanga locality in spring 2001. AChE activity equals to 35 and 300 nmol/min mg protein (Palanga station), and to 25 and 170 nmol/min mg protein (Butinge station) respectively in mussels and flounder. The highest biomarker response was observed in Butinge area. After the oil spill an increase in genotoxicity and cytotoxicity was detected in mussels and flounder from Palanga and Butinge localities. Bile PAH-metabolite concentrations in flounder were higher in the polluted than in the reference site. In addition to spatial differences, also seasonal variations in some of the biomarker responses (e.g., metallothionein) were marked. The study demonstrates that biomarker analysis is a cost-effective and rapid approach to detect ecotoxic effects of environmental pollution in situ. The endpoints are well characterized and can easily be recognized and the techniques are convenient to use in field samplings by following standard procedures and protocols.

description: Although the practice of blanket dry cow therapy (DCT) has been widely adopted in North American dairy herds, the efficacy of various antimicrobial formulations was typically established many years ago and studies comparing efficacy among various commercial DCT products are largely lacking. The objectives of this study were to evaluate and compare the 1) ability to cure existing intramammary infections (IMI) present at dry-off, 2) ability to prevent new IMI during the dry period, and 3) overall risk for presence of IMI after calving among three DCT products.

description: Digital dermatitis (DD) is a worldwide infectious disease of cattle with high prevalence in dairy herds. It is a painful disease with welfare issues causing economical losses. Identifying the affected animals is crucial to establish early treatment and evaluate the efficacy of a control strategy. The "gold standard" diagnosis of DD is the direct observation of DD lesions in a trimming chute. However, the use of a trimming chute for daily diagnosis of DD in all cows is not possible. To facilitate DD monitoring between trimming sessions, lesions could be identified in the parlor during milking. Therefore, we evaluated the use of a commercial borescope in a rotary milking parlor. Our hypothesis was that a borescope is an adequate alternative to evaluate DD lesions between trimming sessions. Our objective was to assess the sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of a borescope for the diagnosis of DD in the milking parlor as compared to direct observation in a trimming chute, and to quantify the agreement between both techniques.

description: Lameness is an important welfare issue and a serious challenge in the dairy industry. Prevalence of lameness worldwide range from 8 to 55% and is influenced by genetics, housing type, and herd management. Lame cows have reduced fertility and hoof lesions (HL) are responsible for over 90% of lameness. Hoof lesions can be non-infectious such as sole ulcer, toe ulcer, white line disease, sole hemorrhage, or infectious digital dermatitis and foot rot. Association between HL and fertility is scarce. Furthermore, information about the association between stage of HL development and fertility in dairy cows is limited. Our objective was to evaluate the association between HL and ovarian cyclicity, and pregnancy in dairy cows. Our hypotheses were that cows with pre-existing HL during early lactation have delayed resumption of ovulation post-partum, longer interval to first service and to pregnancy, and smaller pregnancy hazard. Also, cows that develop new HL have longer interval to pregnancy and smaller pregnancy hazard.

description: The youngest Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G1.9+0.3, produced by a (probable) SN Ia that exploded $\sim 1900$ CE, is strongly asymmetric at radio wavelengths, much brighter in the north, but bilaterally symmetric in X-rays. We present the results of X-ray expansion measurements that illuminate the origin of the radio asymmetry. We confirm the mean expansion rate (2011 to 2015) of 0.58% per year, but large spatial variations are present. Using the nonparametric "Demons" method, we measure the velocity field throughout the entire SNR, finding that motions vary by a factor of 5, from 0.09" to 0.44" per year. The slowest shocks are at the outer boundary of the bright northern radio rim, with velocities $v_s$ as low as 3,600 km/s (for an assumed distance of 8.5 kpc), much less than $v_s = 12,000 - 13,000$ km/s along the X-ray-bright major axis. Such strong deceleration of the northern blast wave most likely arises from the collision of SN ejecta with a much denser than average ambient medium there. This asymmetric ambient medium naturally explains the radio asymmetry. In several locations, significant morphological changes and strongly nonradial motions are apparent. The spatially-integrated X-ray flux continues to increase with time. Based on Chandra observations spanning 8.3 years, we measure its increase at 1.3% +/- 0.8% per year. The SN ejecta are likely colliding with the asymmetric circumstellar medium ejected by the SN progenitor prior to its explosion.

The x-axis shows metagenomic samples as well as R. gnavus reference genomes; the y-axis shows gene clusters from the R. gnavus pangenome. Clustering the results reveals two clades of R. gnavus, which we call clade 1 and clade 2. Using metagenomic samples from LSS/Lewis/HMP cohorts, we found that R. gnavus strains from all healthy adult controls and some IBD samples were functionally similar to R. gnavus clade 1. On the other hand, only IBD samples had R. gnavus strains which were functionally similar to R. gnavus clade 2. The red transparent rectangle contains genes enriched in R. gnavus group IBD. The green transparent rectangle contains genes many genes missing from R. gnavus group IBD. (PDF 2396 kb)

description: Context: We present results of an extensive world-wide observing campaign of MN Draconis. Aims: MN Draconis is a poorly known active dwarf nova in the period gap and is one of the only two known cases of period gap SU UMa objects showing the negative superhumps. Photometric behaviour of MN Draconis poses a challenge for existing models of the superhump and superoutburst mechanisms. Therefore, thorough investigation of peculiar systems, such as MN Draconis, is crucial for our understanding of evolution of the close binary stars. Methods: To measure fundamental parameters of the system, we collected photometric data in October 2009, June-September 2013 and June-December 2015. Analysis of the light curves, $O-C$ diagrams and power spectra was carried out. Results: During our three observational seasons we detected four superoutburts and several normal outbursts. Based on the two consecutive superoutbursts detected in 2015, the supercycle length was derived P_sc = 74 +/- 0.5 days and it has been increasing with a rate of P_dot = 3.3 x 10^(-3) during last twelve years. Based on the positive and negative superhumps we calculated the period excess epsilon = 5.6% +/- 0.1%, the period deficit epsilon_ = 2.5% +/- 0.6%, and in result, the orbital period P_orb = 0.0994(1) days (143.126 +/- 0.144 min). We updated the basic light curve parameters of MN Draconis. Conclusions: MN Draconis is the first discovered SU UMa system in the period gap with increasing supercycle length.

description: To move towards sustainability in the built environment, environmental issues must become an integral part of the management systems of the organisation involved. Taking action is one thing, moving in the appropriate long term direction is another. Without a clear strategic view of the relationship between construction activity, the built environment and society’s goal it is difficult to focus action in a beneficial direction. This paper puts forward a view as to how organisations’ quality, health and safety and environmental management systems can be integrated, so that environmental issues do not remain on the barren periphery of organisational action. The second part of the paper outlines a strategic view on the nesting of the parts set out above, drawing some conclusions for effective action in the future.

description: Endocrine changes at calving and drastic metabolic adjustments to support milk synthesis result in negative energy balance and immune suppression. Consequently, a substantial proportion of cows are affected by disease around the time of calving, and most health disorders occur in the first 30 DIM. Diseases have been associated with reduced reproductive performance and increased risk of death and culling. However, large multi-state prospective studies analyzing the effect of health events by use of standardized disease definitions and times of assessment are scarce. Therefore, our objective was to test the cumulative effect of combinations of health events on fertility and survival of a large population of Holstein cows in multiple states.

The produced pseudogenomes (4,685,848 bp) were inferred with RAxML based on a bootstrap analysis and search for best-scoring Maximum Likelihood tree with General Time-Reversible model of substitution and the secondary structure 16-state model. The color legend corresponds to phylogenetic clustering performed by Langridge et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 2015;112:863–8). The trees are rooted on the branches of S. Dublin before comparison. The comparison of the tree topologies were performed using the cophylo function of ‘phytools’ R package. (PDF 1733 kb)

description: [transcription] A Paris, ce 1er mars 1757.

La lettre, Monsieur, que vous avez remise pour moi à M. Ménard, a été égarée parmi les papiers, et ce n'est que depuis peu de jours qu'on l'a trouvée et que j'ai eu le plaisir de la recevoir. La boîte dans laquelle vous aviez mis un crabe pétrifié dont vous avez cru m'être redevable pour acquitter votre promesse, n'a pas eu le même sort: M. Ménard m'apporta la boîte peu de jours après son arrivée dans laquelle le crabe n'a ement souffert ; il est arrivé très bien conditionné et tel que vous me l'aviez promis. Je vous en fais bien des remerciements ; si je suis riche, Monsieur, vos présents n'ont pas peu contribué à me le faire devenir...Mes cabinets n'ont pas cependant de cette mine de fer du Bergamasque,ni de celle de plomb du Vicentin que vous m'offrez,et je les y verrai avec plaisir, lorsque je vous les devrai. Si le hasard, d'accord avec votre bonne volonté pour moi, vous donne occasion de me faire quelque envoi, vous pourrez me le faire parvenir, vite et franc de port, en le mettant à l'adresse de M. Janel,intendant général des postes et relais de France; M. Janel a, pour me les faire rendre, la même exactitude qu'ont eue ses prédécesseurs.
On a eu soin de vous mettre dans la Connaissance des temps de cette année : demeurant à Nimes ; une partie des Académies qui se sont parées de votre nom, seront nommées dans la première qui paraîtra au jour ; la liste en serait trop longue si toutes celles d'Italie y étaient citées.
Après avoir été absent de votre patrie pendant tant d'années, il a été naturel d'imaginer que vous aviez trouvé des choses sans nombre qui demandaient à être mise en ordre et non pas seulement celles de pure curiosité ; que bien des affaires ont demandé vos jours et vos attentions ; c'est ce qui me rassurait sur votre long silence. Je suis enchanté de ce que vous me faites entrevoir un avenir où vous partageriez votre temps entre votre patrie et Paris ; que j'aurai de plaisir quand je pourrai vous assurer ici de vive voix de la grande estime et du parfait attachement avec lesquels je serai toujours tant que je vivrai, Monsieur, votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur.

De Réaumur.

description: In recent times, many United Nations member states have adopted tougher measures and policies resulting in the refusal to admit immigrants seeking asylum in these countries. This study sought to analyze if the right of asylum is effective for the current times according to Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). It underscores that the number of people suffering persecution for wars, conflicts, violence, and the violation of human rights has increased greatly. The UDHR was adopted by the United Nations (U.N.) at its third session on December 10, 1948, as Resolution 217 at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, France. Therefore, the set of international and state standards that developed it and the factual situation of refugees and asylum seekers were reviewed. I collected relevant data from the databases of the UNHCR, UN member states, and scholarly materials. I then established the reason why the current international protection system fails and finally suggested a small proposal that allows greater visibility of the problem and how a more equitable distribution of refugees could be made. The significance of this study is structured such that the UN and its stakeholders can assess the progress made by this institution in terms of the effectiveness and quality of its work, with specific reference to the right of asylum as enshrined in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The 'Bioeffect Assessment Index' (BAI) is based on the integration of several pathological endpoints measured in the liver of European flounder (Platichthys flesus (L.)) during a long term study of biological effects of marine and coastal pollution in the German Bight and the Baltic Sea. The BAI represents a modification of the “Health Assessment Index” since it includes solely validated biomarkers reflecting toxically induced alterations at different levels of biological organization for the quantification of the effects of environmental pollution. The histochemical biomarkers selected for the BAI calculation reflect deleterious effects of various classes of contaminants such as heavy metals, organochlorines, pesticides, PAHs, and are therefore able to reflect general toxicity in an integrative way. Selected markers were: lysosomal abnormalities (reduced membrane stability, lipid accumulation) as early markers for toxic effects in liver cells, the size of macrophage aggregates and their acid phosphatase activity as markers for the modulation of non-specific immune response which represent longer time scale responses after chronic exposure. The analysis of the parameters obtained from Baltic Sea and North Sea flounder showed comparable responses. The classification of limits of the four chosen BAI categories in Baltic Sea flounder was nearly identical with those from North Sea flounder. When applying the BAI, we were able to distinguish clearly between heavily affected areas (Wismar Bay) and less impaired locations (Kvädöfjärden). The use of the BAI for the analysis of biomarker responses is an essential step forward to the assessment of environmental quality. The parallel application of biomarkers of exposure such as EROD, PAH metabolites in bile, metallothioneins and acetylcholinesterase inhibition may give additional, more specific information about the cause-effect relationships of various classes of contaminants.

description: Hypocalcemia is one of the most common periparturient abnormalities afflicting dairy cows. The disorder is frequently divided into a clinical (i.e., parturient paresis) and a subclinical state, with the latter receiving much recent research attention. For classification purposes, subclinical hypocalcemia (SCH) should be defined as low blood Ca concentrations that are associated with periparturient health disorders, poorer production and reproduction outcomes, or both, without associated signs of postpartum paresis. Our objective was to characterize the epidemiology of SCH in Holstein cows by assessing the temporal associations of plasma Ca concentrations in the first 4 days-in-milk (DIM) with the risk of cows being diagnosed with metritis/and or displaced abomasum in the first 60 DIM and milk production across the first 15 wk of lactation.

description: We investigated the surface structure of hydrogels of poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) hydrogels synthesized and cross-linked simultaneously by redox free radical polymerization. We demonstrate the existence of a less cross-linked layer at the surface of the gel at least at two different length scales characterized by shear rheology and by neutron reflectivity, suggesting the existence of a gradient in cross-linking. The composition of the layer is shown to depend on the degree of hydrophobicity of the mold surface and is weaker for more hydrophobic molds. While the macroscopic tests proved the existence of a relatively thick under-cross-linked layer, we also demonstrated by neutron reflectivity that the gel surface at the submicrometric scale (500 nm) was also affected by the surface treatment of the mold. These results should have important implications for the measurement of macroscopic surface properties of these hydrogels such as friction or adhesion.

description: Stochastic resonance is a phenomenon in which noise enhances the response of a system to an input signal. The brain is an example of a system that has to detect and transmit signals in a noisy environment, suggesting that it is a good candidate to take advantage of SR. In this work, we aim to identify the optimal levels of noise that promote signal transmission through a simple network model of the human brain. Specifically, using a dynamic model implemented on an anatomical brain network (connectome), we investigate the similarity between an input signal and a signal that has traveled across the network while the system is subject to different noise levels. We find that non-zero levels of noise enhance the similarity between the input signal and the signal that has traveled through the system. The optimal noise level is not unique; rather, there is a set of parameter values at which the information is transmitted with greater precision, this set corresponds to the parameter values that place the system in a critical regime. The multiplicity of critical points in our model allows it to adapt to different noise situations and remain at criticality.

description: Partial least square regression estimates of milk and blood constituents using Fourier transform mid-infrared (FTIR) analysis have shown promise as a tool for monitoring early lactation excessive energy deficit in dairy herds. However, the association of these various predicted constituents and subsequent disease events and production outcomes have yet to be established. Our objectives were to determine the association of early lactation predicted milk ~-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentrations, predicted blood nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations, and predicted de nova fatty acid percentages relative to total fatty acid concentrations with the risks of hyperketonemia (HYK), displaced abomasum (DA), and metritis (MET) diagnosis and removal from the herd (CULL).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Various approaches have been used to evaluate or predict the effects of environmental stress on aquatic organisms. The most common of these approaches is to determine the amount of a chemical present and then compare that value with those found to do harm in experimental animals in laboratory tests of acute and chronic toxicity. The ratio of lethal levels to those found in wildlife provided an indication of the safety margin that the population has with regard to a chemical.
