description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The commercial landings of the common octopus Octopus vulgaris in Portugal increased 50% in the last 20 years. Official landings show that this has been associated with the increasing importance of the common octopus as revenue guaranty in non-octopus targeting fisheries. The stock shows large fluctuations in landings that can reach up to 50 % between consecutive years. The recruitment to fisheries depends mainly on the pre-settlement environmental conditions. Studies made in the Gulf of Cadiz and leeward Algarve, on the south Atlantic Iberian coast reveal that increasing rainfall and extreme sea surface temperature during early life stages affect recruitment. The environment conditions in the Portuguese northwest coast are highly dynamic characterized by strong northwesterly winds during autumn-winter causing a strong seasonal upwelling. By applying multivariate techniques like the Dynamic Factor Analyses (DFA) and time series methods to the landings per unit of effort (LPUE) as a proxy of abundance, we analyzed the correlation between the species abundance and five explanatory variables off the Portuguese coast.

description: This paper deals with multi-agent technology in transportation systems. Due to the large coverage, modular structure and a large number of components, improvements in monitoring and control systems are required. Modern development trends have necessitated the integration of multi-agent systems (MAS). A number of complex problems faced by automated systems can be solved by adopting a recursive definition of MAS. This paper outlines the fundamentals of recursive agent-centered methodology for large-scale MAS.
The urban development of Winnipeg, 1874-1914
Creators: name: Artibise, Alan Francis Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In an effort to meet partially the long-felt need for urban biographies of Canada's major cities, this study examines the City of Winnipeg for the period 1874-1914. It attempts to provide a reasonably detailed social history of Winnipeg; to describe - or reconstruct - the evolvement of an urban area. This description Includes a characterization of Winnipeg during a particular time period and an analysis of the nature, directions, and magnitude of the changes occurring in the various facets of the City's social and physical structure. It also endeavors to identify and analyze the events, personages, trends, and movements which have played a key role in the development of Winnipeg, This "biography" of Winnipeg does not in any way attempt to be definitive. Such subjects as economic development and metropolitanism, for example, are given but scant attention. To facilitate comparison with other cities, this history of Winnipeg has been organized topically rather than chronologically. The various aspects of urban life in Winnipeg during the period - whether civic politics, population or spatial growth, or public health - are dealt with in separate chapters. But while each chapter deals with a distinct topic, the study does have a unifying theme for Winnipeg between 1874 and 1914 followed a particular pattern of development. Throughout, the City's political, social, and economic life was dominated by a growth conscious commercial elite whose prime goal was to create in Winnipeg the "Chicago of the North." The account of this group’s efforts to attract to Winnipeg - usually by the expenditure of public moneys - immigrants, railways, and industry is one of the main elements of this study. A second major theme is the far-reaching results this commitment to growth on the part of Winnipeg's leaders had on the social fabric of the City. Problems such as public health, water and sewer facilities, prostitution, and city planning were given only passing attention. As a result, after forty years of prodigious growth, Winnipeg in 1914 still lacked decent housing, good schools, adequate recreation facilities, and integrated neighbourhoods. Above all else, Winnipeg lacked any powerful group which understood the City as a whole and wanted to deal with it as a public environment; one belonging to and affecting all citizens. Although it was an outstanding success economically, the Winnipeg of 1914 was not, in the social sense, a vibrant community. Unfortunately, the conclusions reached about Winnipeg's development from I874 to 1914 cannot be put into a national or even a western Canadian context, Far too few cities have been studied and the time span is too full of gaps. It is hoped, however, that this history of Winnipeg will be a progressive step along the path to a general and comparative history of the Canadian City.

description: Supernovae have been confirmed to redshift z ~ 1.7 for type Ia (thermonuclear detonation of a white dwarf) and to z ~ 0.7 for type II (collapse of the core of the star). The subclass type IIn supernovae are luminous core-collapse explosions of massive stars and, unlike other types, are very bright in the ultraviolet, which should enable them to be found optically at redshifts z ~ 2 and higher. In addition, the interaction of the ejecta with circumstellar material creates strong, long-lived emission lines that allow spectroscopic confirmation of many events of this type at z ~ 2 for 3 - 5 years after explosion. Here we report three spectroscopically confirmed type IIn supernovae, at redshifts z = 0.808, 2.013 and 2.357, detected in archival data using a method designed to exploit these properties at z ~ 2. Type IIn supernovae directly probe the formation of massive stars at high redshift. The number found to date is consistent with the expectations of a locally measured stellar initial mass function, but not with an evolving initial mass function proposed to explain independent observations at low and high redshift.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Specimens of Eledone cirrhosa (Lamarck, 1798) were obtained from trawling fishing undertaken from March 2009 to March 2010 in north-‐‑western Iberian coasts. Stylet Increment Analysis (SIA) was applied to 122 specimens ranging 67-‐‑950 g, representing the size classes detected by modal progression analysis performed to the catches collected throughout the year. Despite the significant correlation between size and age, modal progression analysis does not seem to provide an adequate vision of age-‐‑structure in this area. Assuming a daily deposition rate of growth increments in the stylet, the age of the specimens was estimated and compared with morphometric data of the animals and the stylets to determine the best morphometric predictor of age. Results showed differential longevity between sexes, with females reaching a life span of up to two years. Based on estimated age, hatching date was back-‐‑calculated, showing a spawning peak during winter. The recruitment of E. cirrhosa in Galicia waters would occur when animals reach 3-‐‑4 months old. Based on size at first maturity estimated for this species in this area and DML-‐‑Age relationships, females would achieve maturity at around one year old, while males would do it at approximately at 8-‐‑9 months old. The results obtained were discussed according to the scarce information available from the Iberian population.
Developing Nutrition Programs for the Cow/Calf Herd
Creators: name: Swecker, William S.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1994

description: Cow calf producers have the tools and technology to produce a 95% calf crop that weans at 525-550 lbs. at 205 days. A multitude of publications from industry and extension services are available to these producers, yet only an estimated 70-85% of cows exposed to the bull wean calves. The veterinarian, as part of a production team, should help the producer match genetic, nutritional, and management resources to optimize productivity. The author suggests that the development of an effective nutrition program for the cow/calf herd to meet these goals requires 4 steps: 1. Evaluate the producer. 2. Evaluate the cows. 3. Evaluate the feeds. 4. Evaluate the feeding management.

description: Cremer-Pople puckering coordinates appear to be the natural candidate variables to explore the conformational space of cyclic compounds, and in literature different parametrizations have been used to this end. However, while every parametrization is equivalent in identifying conformations, it is not obvious that they can also act as proper collective variables for the exploration of the puckered conformations free energy surface. It is shown that only the polar parametrization is fit to produce an unbiased estimate of the free energy landscape. As an example, the case of a six-membered ring, glucuronic acid, is presented, showing the artefacts that are generated when a wrong parametrization is used.

Trace Mineral Nutrition in Cattle
Creators: name: Pugh, D. G.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1994

description: Trace minerals are needed in only trace amounts, and are measured in either parts per million (ppm) or mg/kg. Fifteen of these mineral elements have been identified (arsenic, cobalt, copper, chromium, fluoride, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, silicon, tin, vanadium, and zinc), but this discussion will concern only copper, cobalt, iodine, selenium, and zinc.1 These minerals are required in specific biochemical reactions as part of metalloenzyme systems or as cofactors for enzymematic functions. Trace mineral deficiencies usually occur slowly over time. The clinician who is confronted with a problem where trace minerals are suspected should always obtain a detailed herd history, perform a complete physical examination on affected animals, evaluate the total diet, including pastures, and harvest tissues needed to evaluate the specific mineral concentrations in the body.1 Salt is commonly used as a carrier to ensure trace mineral intake, as cattle have a clear cut drive for NaCl. If the clinician and rancher elect to use a salt containing mineral mixture to insure mineral intake it should be remembered individual animal intakes may vary drastically.1 Further, improperly prepared salt mixtures, feed supplements or blocks, liquid feeds, or some types of contamination can alter nutrient absorption and produce conditional deficiencies.

Feeding Broiler Litter to Beef Cows
Creators: name: Pugh, D. G.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1994

description: Broiler litter has been a valuable feed stuff for many years,1 and has been successfully utilized in the rations of growing-weaning calves, stockers, cattle, brood cows, and bulls. The total digestible nutrients (TDN) in litter averages 50%, which is comparable to good quality hay (Table 1). The crude protein content usually averages 24%2 to 31%3, with much of this nitrogen in the form of non protein nitrogen (NPN). The NPN in broiler litter is utilized most efficiently when fed to animals with a functional rumen.2 When broiler litter is fed it should have a crude protein content of>18%, with <25% of protein in a bound form. Feed grade litter should have an ash content of <28%, and all litter should be inspected for uniform color and odor. Litter not meeting these specifications should not be fed.2 Where possible, litter should be passed over a magnet or screened in order to remove nails, wire, and other metallic particulate. Broiler litter is very abrasive and corrosive and may accelerate wear and reduce the working life of feed handling equipment more quickly than other commonly used feed stuffs. Moist litter does not flow through auger systems well, while litter <12% moisture is dusty and less palatable to cattle.2

description: In my humble opinion of helping farmers over the past 28 years, it takes a lot of change in philosophy and discipline. There are a few things you can do: • First, you need to light a fire in yourself. The sooner you start, the better. • Second, you should associate with those who are. Find someone who functions like a businessperson and learn. • Third, make managing (planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling) fun to do and learn. • Fourth, set up practical helping devices. But most importantly is to install financial discipline into the business. This part of managing requires a lot more than one realizes. Here are a few key points.

Year: 1994

description: Key Points • Cull rates are higher on most commercial dairy farms than is optimal for maximum net revenue. This is probably due to high heifer pressure. High cull rates can also mask management problems that exist in a herd. • Cows should be kept as long as possible. 33% of the cows should be kept past five lactations. The decision to cull an animal should be made when she is considered for insemination. A table of reference values is provided to help in deciding if a cow should be inseminated. • Cows to be culled, but not replaced, should be removed at 40-50 pounds of milk/day. Cows that are to be replaced should be removed from the herd when they reach 80% of the average milk production.

description: Let xi be a real number which is neither rational nor quadratic over Q. Based on work of Davenport and Schmidt, Bugeaud and Laurent have shown that, for any real number theta, there exist a constant c>0 and infinitely many non-zero polynomials P in Z[T] of degree at most 2 such that |theta-P(xi)| < c |P|^{-gamma} where gamma=(1+sqrt{5})/2 denotes for the golden ratio and where the norm |P| of P stands for the largest absolute value of its coefficients. In the present paper, we show conversely that there exists a class of transcendental numbers xi for which the above estimates are optimal up to the value of the constant c when one takes theta=R(xi) for a polynomial R in Z[T] of degree d = 3, 4 or 5 but curiously not for degree d=6, even with theta = 2 xi^6.

Management Strategies
Creators: name: Skidmore, Andrew L.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1994

description: The acquisition of replacement heifers is a significant cost to milk producers and has a significant effect on profitability. About 20% of total variable expenses to produce milk, go to raising replacement heifers. A milk producer must first strategize if it is better to sell all calves and purchase needed replacements or raise replacements. The advantages and disadvantages of purchasing needed replacements must be evaluated along with a careful analysis of the cost to raise replacements before a quality decision based on the evidence can be made. When a milk producer decides to maintain ownership of replacement heifers, a decision must still be made regarding who will raise them. Custom rearing is still an option. This decision is very similar to the "sell/not sell" decision in the process of analyzing the advantages, disadvantages and current situation but is vastly different in how it is implemented and managed. Whoever takes the responsibility to raise the replacement heifers must consider many different strategies: to achieve a labor efficiency of 14-15 daily labor hours per preweaned calf and 80-90 daily labor hours per postweaned calf, to maintain reproductive efficiency at levels equivalent to lactating cows, to maintain a growth strategy but monitoring and implementing a sound nutritional program.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The spawning habitat selection of a population of Octopus vulgaris subject to fishery pressure was studied in the Cíes Islands within the National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia (NW Spain) located in the Ría de Vigo’s mouth. The technique used was visual censuses by scuba diving. We conducted 93 visual censuses from April 2012 to April 2014. The total swept area was 109.4 ha (4.15 % of the total marine area of the Cíes Islands). The spawning habitat of preference for O. vulgaris includes the categorical variables zone (south, central and north), type of substrata and depth. The estimated occurrence of egg clusters and spawning dens was focused in a specific area within a zone of 158 ha (5.98% of the total marine area of the Cíes Islands) located between 5 and 30 m depth, covered by hard bottom substrate. The opportunity to implant a management strategy based on the protection of the spawning habitats of the species is discussed.

description: Pastures had been a significant feature of the American landscape for centuries, and were used as the major source of nutrients for dairy cows. Many studies in the early 1900s focused on agronomic and pasture productivity, pasture management, animal responses, and economic factors (Fales, et al., 1992), and scientists in the United States were considered leaders in pasture research and education. The movement away from pasture systems toward "confined" systems began in the 50s and was caused by many economic, political, and technological factors. Research and education programs related to pasture declined dramatically, and pasture use declined in Pennsylvania from about 170 days per year in the early 1950s to 64 days (mainly exercise lots) in 1990. Pasture systems based on early United States research were adopted widely in various countries of Europe and in New Zealand, and these countries are now considered the world leaders in intensive pasture systems.

description: Context: Asteroseismology has great potential for the study of metal-poor stars due to its sensitivity to determine stellar ages. Aims: Our goal was to detect p-mode oscillations in the metal-poor sub-dwarf 85 Peg A and to search for other variability on longer timescales. Methods: We have obtained continuous high-precision photometry of the binary system 85 Pegasi with the MOST space telescope in two seasons (2005 & 2007). Furthermore, we redetermined vsini for 85 Peg A using high resolution spectra obtained through the ESO archive, and used photometric spot modeling to interpret long periodic variations. Results: Our frequency analysis yields no convincing evidence for p-modes significantly above a noise level of 4 ppm. Using simulated p-mode patterns we provide upper RMS amplitude limits for 85 Peg A. The light curve shows evidence for variability with a period of about 11 d and this periodicity is also seen in the follow up run in 2007; however, as different methods to remove instrumental trends in the 2005 run yield vastly different results, the exact shape and periodicity of the 2005 variability remain uncertain. Our re-determined vsini value for 85 Peg A is comparable to previous studies and we provide realistic uncertainties for this parameter. Using these values in combination with simple photometric spot models we are able to reconstruct the observed variations. Conclusions: The null-detection of p-modes in 85 Peg A is consistent with theoretical values for pulsation amplitudes in this star. The detected long-periodic variation must await confirmation by further observations with similar or better precision and long-term stability. If the 11 d periodicity is real, rotational modulation of surface features on one of the components is the most likely explanation.

The effect of torpor on pulmo-cutaneous water loss in Perognathus parvus
Creators: name: Guthrie, Donald Raymond
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Studies were conducted to determine the effect of torpor on the pulmo-cutaneous water loss of a small, fossorial desert rodent, Perognathus parvus. Since the pulmonary and cutaneous components of the water budget are strongly affected by ambient temperature and humidity, these losses are extremely Important In determining the ability of an animal to maintain positive water balance. Simultaneous measurements of pulmo-cutaneous water loss and metabolic rate were made over a range of ambient temperatures of 10-35 C for both torpid and normothermlo animals. Additional experiments were conducted to determine the ratio of pulmonary to cutaneous water loss, and to determine the relationship of these losses to ambient temperature. Models of energy budgets and water budgets were constructed to assist in determining the effect of variable amounts of torpor over the range of ambient temperature of 0-30 C. It was found that normothermic animals could maintain positive water balance from 0-20 C at 0% relative humidity, but torpid animals were always in negative water balance under the same conditions. The inability of torpid animals to maintain positive water balance is attributed to the necessity of balancing the relatively fixed cutaneous loss against the much-reduced metabolic water production. It is concluded that torpor cannot serve as a water-conserving mechanism in this species at 0% relative humidity.
Therapeutic intervention in Alzheimer's disease

description: Alzheimer's disease (AD) results from a series of dysfunctions which spread throughout the cortex in a precise spatiotemporal manner, and which subsequently give rise to a characteristic pattern of cognitive and non-cognitive symptoms. Whilst some of these symptoms can be controlled with specific drug regimes, there are still no treatments available to prevent the disease. Similarly, there are no drugs available which will reverse or even halt the progression of the pathological changes which occur in the AD brain. It is hypothesised that ˜í‚â§-amyloid deposited within the brain as \plaques' causes slowly evolving physical damage to neurons which then triggers a stereotypical neuronal response to trauma. This involves specific cytoskeletal alterations which give rise to the characteristic neuropathology of AD and which can be experimentally modeled in both in vivo and in vitro models of neuronal injury. That the pathogenesis of AD crucially involves the cytoskeleton and that targeting these changes may be an effective method of delaying or even preventing neurodegeneration in AD was explored in this thesis. A number of broad hypotheses were posed. Firstly that there are significant cytoskeletal alterations in the AD brain which may be ameliorated by the use of cytoskeletal stabilising agents and which may subsequently limit the evolution of the neuropathological changes characteristic of AD. Secondly that metallothioneins may play a role in AD and perhaps be able to prevent the aberrant neuronal sprouting associated with AD. These hypotheses were addressed in a number of aims. The major conclusions from these investigations were that morphologically distinct plaque types differentially affect the architecture of the brain in the early and late stages of AD to result in significant cytoskeletal alterations. Similar observations were made following experimental cortical injury where it was demonstrated that the administration of cytoskeletal stabilising drugs can both prevent and delay the onset of neuropathological changes. Finally metallothioneins were shown to be upregulated in both the early stages of AD and following cortical injury suggesting that they may have a role in the pathogenesis of AD. This thesis has therefore demonstrated that it is possible to intervene in the sequence of events which ultimately leads to neurodegeneration in AD. Agents which target cytoskeletal alterations may represent alternatives to current therapeutic strategies."

description: Thermal field theory is applied to particle production rates in inflationary models, leading to new results for catalysed, or two-stage decay, where massive fields act as decay channels for the production of light fields. A numerical investigation of the Bolztmann equation in an expanding universe shows that the particle distributions produced during small amplitude inflaton oscillations or alongside slowly moving inflaton fields can thermalise.

Recognizing and Managing Infectious Causes of Lameness in Cattle
Creators: name: Guard, Charles
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1994

description: Lameness in cattle is a common condition that can result in significant economic loss to a producer through a variety of mechanisms. Lame cows do not eat as much as healthy cows and thus produce less milk or less gain. They may become anestrous. Furthermore, they may be prematurely culled due to low milk production, delayed conception or emergency slaughter.

description: Cerebral and brainstem diseases cause a change in the mental status of the affected animal. Clinical signs suggestive of cerebral or brainstem diseases are commonly seen in cattle.1 There are more than 120 diseases that are reported to affect cerebral and/or brainstem function resulting in either coma, severe depression or seizure.2 The scope of this paper is not to review all the causes of cerebral-brainstem disease in cattle. The intent is to provide information on how the clinical exam can be used to localize dysfunction to these areas and to review recent (since 1990) information regarding some of the diseases of cattle which affect the cerebral cortex or brainstem. The methodology for collecting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from cattle and the diagnostic implications that can be derived from the CSF analysis will be presented. Most diseases of the brain in cattle are caused by infectious, toxic or metabolic causes and have been so divided in the following review.

description: We introduce a method that allows for the calculation of quasi-particle spectra in the GW approximation, yet avoiding any explicit reference to empty one-electron states. This is achieved by expressing the irreducible polarizability operator and the self-energy operator through a set of linear response equations, which are solved using a Lanczos-chain algorithm. We first validate our approach by calculating the vertical ionization energies of the benzene molecule and then show its potential by addressing the spectrum of a large molecule such as free-base tetraphenylporphyrin.

description: The causative organism of paratuberculosis, Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, inhabits the intestinal tract and mesenteric lymph nodes of infected cows. While paratuberculosis has generally been regarded as an enteric infection, there is now evidence that the organism can disseminate to extra-intestinal sites such as uterus, supramammary lymph nodes, udder, sexual organs of bulls, and may be excreted directly in milk and semen.1,2,4-8,12,13,16,18 Recent studies would suggest that the likelihood of dissemination increases as extent of infection increases. Most clinical cases are likely to be disseminated.

description: (abridged) The clustering properties of galaxies belonging to different luminosity ranges or having different morphological types are different. These characteristics or `marks' permit to understand the galaxy catalogs that carry all this information as realizations of marked point processes. Many attempts have been presented to quantify the dependence of the clustering of galaxies on their inner properties. The present paper summarizes methods on spatial marked statistics used in cosmology to disentangle luminosity, colour or morphological segregation and introduces a new one in this context, the mark connection function. The methods used here are the partial correlation functions, including the cross-correlation function, the normalised mark correlation function, the mark variogram and the mark connection function. All these methods are applied to a volume-limited sample drawn from the 2dFGRS, using the spectral type as the mark. We show the virtues of each method to provide information about the clustering properties of each population, the dependence of the clustering on the marks, the similarity of the marks as a function of the pair distances, and the way to characterise the spatial correlation between the marks. We demonstrate by means of these statistics that passive galaxies exhibit stronger spatial correlation than active galaxies at small scales (r <20 Mpc/h). The mark connection function, introduced here, is particularly useful for understanding the spatial correlation between the marks.

Control of BVDV
Creators: name: Dubovi, Edward J.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1994

description: Much progress had been made in defining BVDV in molecular terms. While this information has been useful in some aspects of BVDV pathogenesis, this information has not led to a significant decrease in concern expressed by practitioners regarding prevention and control of BVDV-induced disease. There are several factors which contribute to this continued uneasiness, but a major contributor may be the inability of research personnel to deliver a clear and concise message concerning BVDV. The most important aspect of control of BVDV is the prevention of the generation of persistently infected animals. Management is a significant factor and the management of heifers may be the most overlooked problem in BVDV control programs.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Cephalopod populations show wide temporal fluctuations in abundance, usually investigated at interannual scales. However, cephalopods are generally short-lived and single-seasonal breeders, with life cycles strongly linked to seasonal environmental variability. Therefore, population abundance critically depends on the success of breeding and recruitment when conditions are favorable. This adaptation of population dynamics is especially important in marked oligotrophic seas, such as the Mediterranean, where matching seasonal conditions is of paramount importance for marine species. We used monthly landings per unit effort (LPUEs) to explore the spatio-temporal variability in seasonal patterns of three cephalopod species (Eledone cirrhosa, Illex coindetii and Octopus vulgaris) from the Western Mediterranean Sea. Common seasonal trends were characterized, using a dimension reduction technique. These seasonal patterns were associated with local variability in the primary production and climate; presenting a spatial correlation scale between 69 - 193 km, at which population dynamics fluctuate in synchrony. Variability in the seasonal patterns over time showed pronounced seasonal trends in years with higher population densities. These results evidence that fluctuations in cephalopod populations respond to both spatio-temporal seasonal patterns at local scales, related to environmental variability and also to density-dependent control.
Salmonellosis

description: Salmonella bacteria have a remarkable ability to survive under adverse conditions. They survive between the pH's of 4 to 8, and can grow between 8 and 45°C. Salmonella are facultative anaerobic bacteria that can survive under low oxygen tension such as in manure slurry pits. Salmonella are known to survive for long periods in soil and in water. Salmonellae spread onto fields in the form of manure may survive for long periods; it is best to spread the manure onto flat land (to prevent runoff problems) where it is exposed to the drying effects of wind, and the bactericidal effect of UV irradiation from the sun; manure should be spread onto cropland rather than onto pastures for grazing. There has been much recent investigation into the advantages of different manure disposal methods; composting has many advantages from the standpoint of controlling disease. Salmonellae, as gram negative rods, are no more or less sensitive to the effects of commonly used disinfectants than are other gram negatives. Chlorine solutions, iodines, quaternary ammoniums, phenolics, etc., are very good at killing salmonellae on surfaces; however, efficient scraping/dry cleaning is important to get rid of organic matter and bedding, followed by wet cleaning with high pressure hot water/steam and then disinfection. The interval between wet cleaning and disinfection must not be too long or salmonellae can "bloom" in the wet environment. Many strains are relatively resistant to the effects of drying, salting, and smoking of foods. However, salmonellae are very sensitive to beta and gamma irradiation.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Cephalopod stocks generally fluctuate widely and are strongly influenced by environmental conditions. However, they are often resilient and support large industrial fisheries together with numerous small-scale and artisanal fisheries across the World. There are numerous examples of successful sustainable exploitation based on effective management such as Doryteuthis gahi, Falkland Islands, D. opalescens, California, Doryteuthis pealeii, Northwest Atlantic, Loligo reynaudii, South Africa, Dosidicus gigas, Baja California, Todarodes pacificus, Japan. There are also only partially assessed but managed probably sustainably fisheries (Illex argentinus, the Southwest Atlantic), open-access fisheries without specific output control for cephalopod stocks, weak monitoring and poor enforcement of management restrictions (Uroteuthis duvaucelii, U. chinensis, India and Thailand), unmanaged and quickly declining fisheries (Octopus spp., Philippines, Vietnam), insufficiently managed by sustainable small-scale fisheries (Sepia officinalis, English Channel) . A global overview of cephalopod fisheries in respect to applied methods of stock assessment and implemented regulatory measures, as well as respective fluctuations in commercial catches and general sustainability of those fisheries is documented.
Alternative Approaches for the Prevention and Treatment of Mastitis

description: Current methods of mastitis control based on proper milking hygiene, reduced exposure to environmental pathogens, and dry cow antibiotic therapy have reduced occurrences of the disease. However, mastitis continues to be the most costly disease affecting the dairy industry. The incidence of mastitis increases when defense mechanisms of the mammary gland are impaired. If immunomodulators can be used to augment immune functions at critical periods during the production of food animals, then the economic loss caused by mastitis should be reduced. This paper will review some of the recent advances in the area of mammary gland immune regulation.
