description: The omnipresence of indoor lighting makes it an ideal vehicle for pervasive communication with mobiledevices. In this paper, we present a communication scheme that enables interior ambient LED lightingsystems to send data to mobile devices using either cameras or light sensors. By exploiting rolling shutter camera sensors that are common on tablets, laptops and smartphones, it is possible to detect high-frequency changes in light intensity reflected off of surfaces and in direct line-of-sight of the camera. We present a demodulation approach that allows smartphones to accurately detect frequencies as high as 8kHz with 0.2kHz channel separation. In order to avoid humanly perceivable flicker in the lighting, our system operates at frequencies above 2kHz and compensates for the non-ideal frequency response of standard LED drivers by adjusting the light's duty-cycle. By modulating the PWM signal commonly used to drive LED lighting systems, we are able to encode data that can be used as localization landmarks. We show through experiments how a binary frequency shift keying modulation scheme can be used to transmit data at 1.25 bytes per second (fast enough to send an ID code) from up to 29 unique light sources simultaneously in a single collision domain. We also show how tags can demodulate the same signals using a light sensor instead of a camera for low-power applications.

description: Current time domain facilities are finding several hundreds of transient astronomical events a year. The discovery rate is expected to increase in the future as soon as new surveys such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and the Large Synoptic Sky Survey (LSST) come on line. At the present time, the rate at which transients are classified is approximately one order or magnitude lower than the discovery rate, leading to an increasing "follow-up drought". Existing telescopes with moderate aperture can help address this deficit when equipped with spectrographs optimized for spectral classification. Here, we provide an overview of the design, operations and first results of the Spectral Energy Distribution Machine (SEDM), operating on the Palomar 60-inch telescope (P60). The instrument is optimized for classification and high observing efficiency. It combines a low-resolution (R$\sim$100) integral field unit (IFU) spectrograph with "Rainbow Camera" (RC), a multi-band field acquisition camera which also serves as multi-band (ugri) photometer. The SEDM was commissioned during the operation of the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) and has already proved lived up to its promise. The success of the SEDM demonstrates the value of spectrographs optimized to spectral classification. Introduction of similar spectrographs on existing telescopes will help alleviate the follow-up drought and thereby accelerate the rate of discoveries.

description: We present first-season infrared (IR) and optical photometry and spectroscopy of the Type Ia Supernova 1998bu in M96. We also report optical polarimetry of this event. SN1998bu is one of the closest type Ia Supernovae of modern times and the distance of its host galaxy is well-determined. We find that SN1998bu is both photometrically and spectroscopically normal. However, the extinction to this event is unusually high, with Av=1.0 +/-0.11. We find that SN1998bu peaked at an intrinsic Mv=-19.37 +/-0.23. Adopting a distance modulus of 30.25 (Tanvir et al. 1999) and using Phillips et al.'s (1999) relations for the Hubble constant we obtain Ho=70.4 +/-4.3 km/s/Mpc. Combination of our IR photometry with those of Jha et al. (1999) provides one of the most complete early-phase IR light curves for a SN Ia published so far. In particular, SN 1998bu is the first normal SN Ia for which good pre-maximum (in the B band) IR coverage has been obtained. It reveals that the J, H and K light curves peak about 5 days earlier than the flux in the B-band curve.

description: Computing properties of the set of precursors of a given configuration is a common problem underlying many important questions about cellular automata. Unfortunately, such computations quickly become intractable in dimension greater than one. This paper presents an algorithm --- incremental aggregation --- that can compute aggregate properties of the set of precursors exponentially faster than na{ï}ve approaches. The incremental aggregation algorithm is demonstrated on two problems from the two-dimensional binary Game of Life cellular automaton: precursor count distributions and higher-order mean field theory coefficients. In both cases, incremental aggregation allows us to obtain new results that were previously beyond reach.

description: A central nervous system disease occurred in a group of beef steers placed into confinement feeding pens during a period of prolonged drought and high environmental temperatures in Oklahoma, USA (September 2000). The steers began exhibiting neurological signs during the 3rd week after placement into the pens. Microscopic examination of brain tissue revealed lesions consistent with polioencephalomalacia. Tissue analysis for lead and evidence of water deprivation-sodium ion toxicity were negative. The steers had been drinking well water containing 3000 ppm sulfate. In addition, the total mixed ration contained 2950 ppm total sulfur. Total sulfur intake was calculated to be 77 g of sulfur per steer per day, which equated to 1% (10?000 ppm) of the ration on a dry matter basis. Based upon clinical signs, histopathology and high levels of sulfate and sulfur in the water and feed, respectively, a diagnosis of sulfur-induced polioencephalomalacia was made. No further cases occurred after the steers were provided water with low sulfate content.

description: Spatial multiplexing cameras (SMCs) acquire a (typically static) scene through a series of coded projections using a spatial light modulator (e.g., a digital micro-mirror device) and a few optical sensors. This approach finds use in imaging applications where full-frame sensors are either too expensive (e.g., for short-wave infrared wavelengths) or unavailable. Existing SMC systems reconstruct static scenes using techniques from compressive sensing (CS). For videos, however, existing acquisition and recovery methods deliver poor quality. In this paper, we propose the CS multi-scale video (CS-MUVI) sensing and recovery framework for high-quality video acquisition and recovery using SMCs. Our framework features novel sensing matrices that enable the efficient computation of a low-resolution video preview, while enabling high-resolution video recovery using convex optimization. To further improve the quality of the reconstructed videos, we extract optical-flow estimates from the low-resolution previews and impose them as constraints in the recovery procedure. We demonstrate the efficacy of our CS-MUVI framework for a host of synthetic and real measured SMC video data, and we show that high-quality videos can be recovered at roughly 60× compression.

description: We consider the signature reversing transformation of the metric tensor g_ab goes to -g_ab induced by the chiral transformation of the curved space gamma matrices gamma_a goes to gamma gamma_a in spacetimes with signature (S,T), which also induces a (-1)^T spacetime orientation reversal. We conclude: (1) It is a symmetry only for chiral theories with S-T= 4k, with k integer. (2) Yang-Mills theories require dimensions D=4k with T even for which even rank antisymmentric tensor field strengths and mass terms are also allowed. For example, D=10 super Yang-Mills is ruled out. (3) Gravititational theories require dimensions D=4k+2 with T odd, for which the symmetry is preserved by coupling to odd rank field strengths. In D=10, for example, it is a symmetry of N=1 and Type IIB supergravity but not Type IIA. A cosmological term and also mass terms are forbidden but non-minimal R phi^2 coupling is permitted. (4) Spontaneous compactification from D=4k+2 leads to interesting but different symmetries in lower dimensions such as D=4, so Yang-Mills terms, Kaluza-Klein masses and a cosmological constant may then appear. As a well-known example, IIB permits AdS_5 x S^5.

description: Using different methods for laying out a graph can lead to very different visual appearances, with which the viewer perceives different information. Selecting a "good" layout method is thus important for visualizing a graph. The selection can be highly subjective and dependent on the given task. A common approach to selecting a good layout is to use aesthetic criteria and visual inspection. However, fully calculating various layouts and their associated aesthetic metrics is computationally expensive. In this paper, we present a machine learning approach to large graph visualization based on computing the topological similarity of graphs using graph kernels. For a given graph, our approach can show what the graph would look like in different layouts and estimate their corresponding aesthetic metrics. An important contribution of our work is the development of a new framework to design graph kernels. Our experimental study shows that our estimation calculation is considerably faster than computing the actual layouts and their aesthetic metrics. Also, our graph kernels outperform the state-of-the-art ones in both time and accuracy. In addition, we conducted a user study to demonstrate that the topological similarity computed with our graph kernel matches perceptual similarity assessed by human users.

description: Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) infection is responsible for a variety of economically important syndromes in cattle. In order to quantify the economic benefit for removing BVDV persistently infected (PI) animals, a 10-year farm profitability simulation model was used to compare production scenarios with and without PI calves present. Differences in profitability between the scenarios, estimates the value of diagnostic testing given the expected prevalence in the herd. If the true prevalence of herds with at least one PI animal is 1% (low end of the 95% confidence interval for randomly selected herds), the average annual dollars available for screening is only $0.15. Using a 10-year period, if the whole herd is tested the initial year and the cost of the initial screening is pro-rated over 10 years, and only replacements are screened in subsequent years, $0.60 is available for costs associated with each animal tested. If, however, the true prevalence of herds with at least one PI animal is 30% (high end of the 95% confidence interval for pre-screened herds), the average annual dollars available for screening is $4.60. In this scenario, $18.40 is available for each animal tested. These figures show that practitioners may not be economically justified to initiate diagnostic screening protocols for PI BVDV cattle for all clients. However, if ranch history raises a suspicion of BVDV PI cattle being present, a screening protocol can be defended based on its likelihood to improve economic return.

Scrotal hydrocele secondary to ascites caused by liver fluke infection in an adult beef bull

description: A five-year-old, 2000 lb (909 kg) beef bull was presented to the Oklahoma State University Food Animal Clinic because of weight loss during the previous eight weeks, and lameness and increasing recumbency of two weeks? duration. Physical examination revealed a subsolar abscess, oral lesions, mild diarrhea, modest generalized lymphadenopathy and an enlarged left scrotum. Further diagnostic testing revealed liver fluke infestation, scrotal hydrocele, ascites and a positive gp-51 bovine leukemia virus serology. The ascites, weight loss, diarrhea, lymphadenopathy and hydrocele were attributed to migration of immature liver flukes. The lameness and recumbency were caused by a subsolar abscess and, therefore, unrelated to the primary problem. Bovine papular stomatitis was suspected to have caused the oral lesions, due to their physical appearance and rapid resolution. The bull was treated twice, at eight- week intervals, with ivermectin which contained clorsulon. Body condition markedly improved over the next 24 days, and the scrotal hydrocele resolved.

Based on representative examples from six generations of wearable computers, the paper focuses on the differences in rapid prototyping using custom design versus off-the-shelf components. The attributes characterizing these two design styles are defined and illustrated by experimental measurements. The off-the-shelf approach required ten times the overhead, 30% more cost, fifty times the storage resources, 20% more effort, five times more power, but 30% less effort to port software than the embedded approach."

description: Conventional seismic techniques for detecting the subsurface geologic features are challenged by limited data coverage, computational inefficiency, and subjective human factors. We developed a novel data-driven geological feature detection approach based on pre-stack seismic measurements. Our detection method employs an efficient and accurate machine-learning detection approach to extract useful subsurface geologic features automatically. Specifically, our method is based on kernel ridge regression model. The conventional kernel ridge regression can be computationally prohibited because of the large volume of seismic measurements. We employ a data reduction technique in combination with the conventional kernel ridge regression method to improve the computational efficiency and reduce memory usage. In particular, we utilize a randomized numerical linear algebra technique, named Nyström method, to effectively reduce the dimensionality of the feature space without compromising the information content required for accurate detection. We provide thorough computational cost analysis to show efficiency of our new geological feature detection methods. We further validate the performance of our new subsurface geologic feature detection method using synthetic surface seismic data for 2D acoustic and elastic velocity models. Our numerical examples demonstrate that our new detection method significantly improves the computational efficiency while maintaining comparable accuracy. Interestingly, we show that our method yields a speed-up ratio on the order of $\sim10^2$ to $\sim 10^3$ in a multi-core computational environment.
Gastrointestinal nematodes in Quebec dairy cattle

description: A cross-sectional observational study was undertaken in Qubec dairy herds to evaluate regional and provincial prevalences of herds with gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections in lactating cows, and to determine risk factors associated with level of herd infection. The 5 most recently calved first-lactation cows from each of 208 randomly selected farms in 7 pre-defined regions of Qubec were sampled for faeces collection in July to August 1995. On the same occasion, a bulk tank milk sample was collected. A questionnaire on replacement and grazing practices was filled out for each farm. Faecal samples were examined and faecal egg counts were determined for trichostrongylids, Capillaria, Nematodirus, Trichuris, Strongyloides, and total GIN eggs. Weighted provincial estimates for prevalence of herds with positive coprologies to these parasites ranged from 4 to 93%. Median faecal egg count per herd was low (17 eggs per 5 g of faeces). Milk samples were submitted for an indirect ELISA test to detect antibodies against Ostertagia and Cooperia. Level of herd infection, as estimated by Ostertagia and Cooperia bulk tank milk ELISA titres (BTTs), varied (P<0.05) among regions. Questionnaire-derived risk factors most significantly associated with an increased bulk tank Ostertagia titre were exposure of lactating cows to pasture, intensive grazing of heifers on farm, contamination history of heifers' pasture, and incomplete pasture rotation for heifers. Very high stocking rates for cows and heifers and mechanical mowing during the grazing season of heifer pastures were associated with decreased ELISA titres. The results of this study indicate that the prevalence of nematode infections in first-lactation cows is very high in Qubec herds, with trichostrongylid infections being the most frequently observed. The association between bulk tank milk ELISA titres for Ostertagia and herd-level management practices capable of having an impact on exposure of cows to parasites suggest that BTTs could be a valuable indicator of herd infection level. Proper knowledge of regional prevalences, differences among mean regional titres, and the association between titres and of herd-level risk factors can help veterinarians with their decisions regarding parasite prevention and treatment.

Pre-colostral antibodies to Neospora caninum in beef calves following an abortion outbreak and associated fall weaning weights
Creators: name: Waldner, Cheryl L.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 2002

description: Published reports have suggested that Neospora caninum infection may decrease milk production in dairy cows and affect rate of gain and feed efficiency in feedlot steers. This study examined whether there was an effect on the weaning weights of commercial beef calves. The outbreak involved a family-owned, 350-head cow-calf beef herd. Calves that developed antibodies to N. caninum during gestation were compared to calves with no evidence of infection. Blood samples were collected from calves before colostrum ingestion and from all cows after calving. Sera were analysed using a commercially available enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for N. caninum. Detailed individual calving records, birth, and weaning weights were available for all calves. Of the 180 samples collected from the cows and first-calf heifers after calving, 153 (85%) were positive for N. caninum. Seventy-five (67%) blood samples collected from 112 calves prior to colostrum ingestion also had positive antibody titres for N. caninum. Fall calf weights for calves with antibodies to N. caninum at birth were insignificantly different than those of calves with no antibodies (difference, -9.2 lb [-4.18 kg]; 95% CI, -31.3 to 12.8 lb), after adjusting for calf sex, dam age, calf birth weight, calf age at weighing, and sire group.

description: To determine the effect of subclinical infection with bovine leukaemia virus (BLV), Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) and Neospora caninum (NC) on milk production in dairy cattle in 3 Maritime Canadian provinces, 90 dairy herds (all on monthly milk recording) were randomly recruited. Within each herd, a serum sample was obtained from approximately 30 randomly selected lactating animals. Samples were tested for antibodies against the agents using commercially available enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Associations were tested between 305-day milk production and test results for each pathogen using linear regression and controlling for sampling weights, within-herd clustering, provincial stratification, lactation number, and linear score somatic cell count. Overall, 20.8, 2.6, and 20.3% of cattle were test-positive for exposure to BLV, MAP, and NC, respectively. MAP test positive cows had significantly lower 305-day milk production than MAP test negative cows, when data were pooled for all lactations, and specifically for lactations one (1260 lb; 573 kg) and five (3020 lb; 1373 kg). There was a negative trend toward lower 305-day milk production for MAP test positive cows in lactation 2 and 4 compared with MAP test negative cows. In lactation 3, MAP test positive cows had significantly higher 305-day milk production (3248 lb; 1476 kg) than MAP test negative cows. No significant differences in production were observed for NC or BLV positive animals. Being test positive for one pathogen was not associated with being test positive for the other pathogens, and no interactive effects on 305-day milk production among pathogen test results were observed.

description: (Abridged) Weak gravitational lensing induces distortions on the images of background galaxies, and thus provides a direct measure of mass fluctuations in the universe. Since the distortions induced by lensing on the images of background galaxies are only of a few percent, a reliable measurement demands very accurate galaxy shape estimation and a careful treatment of systematic effects. Here, we present a study of a shear measurement method using detailed simulations of artificial images. The images are produced using realisations of a galaxy ensemble drawn from the HST Groth strip. We consider realistic observational effects including atmospheric seeing, PSF anisotropy and pixelisation, incorporated in a manner to reproduce actual observations with the William Herschel Telescope. By applying an artificial shear to the simulated images, we test the shear measurement method proposed by Kaiser, Squires & Broadhurst (1995, KSB). Overall, we find the KSB method to be reliable with several provisos. To guide future weak lensing surveys, we study how seeing size, exposure time and pixelisation affect the sensitivity to shear. In addition, we study the impact of overlapping isophotes of neighboring galaxies, and find that this effect can produce spurious lensing signals on small scales. We discuss the prospects of using the KSB method for future, more sensitive, surveys. Numerical simulations of this kind are a required component of present and future analyses of weak lensing surveys.

description: Thiamine deficiency has been classically described as the cause of ruminant polioencephalomalacia (PEM). More recently excess dietary sulfur has been shown to be a major cause of PEM. This paper reviews the relationship between PEM and thiamine metabolism in mature cattle, thiaminase in plants, rumen acidosis and excess dietary sulfur. Signs of PEM caused by lead poisoning, water deprivation-sodium ion toxicity and sulfur toxicosis are clinically and microscopically indistinguishable. Diagnosis of sulfur-induced PEM relies on ruling out other diseases, and demonstrating elevated dietary sulfur intake. Total sulfur intake from both feed and water must be determined when investigating an outbreak of PEM in cattle.

description: We investigate the critical properties of the three-dimensional (3D) antiferromagnetic RP(N-1}) model, which is characterized by a global O(N) symmetry and a discrete Z_2 gauge symmetry. We perform a field-theoretical analysis using the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson (LGW) approach and a numerical Monte Carlo study. The LGW field-theoretical results are obtained by high-order perturbative analyses of the renormalization-group (RG) flow of the most general Phi^4 theory with the same global symmetry as the model, assuming a gauge-invariant order-parameter field. For N=4 no stable fixed point is found, implying that any transition must necessarily be of first order. This is contradicted by the numerical results that provide strong evidence for a continuous transition. This suggests that gauge modes are not always irrelevant, as assumed by the LGW approach, but they may play an important role to determine the actual critical dynamics at the phase transition of O(N) symmetric models with a discrete Z_2 gauge symmetry.

description: Loneliness can negatively impact peoples’ lives. However, it is unclear whether loneliness influences, and is influenced by, people’s social experience. Consistent with socio-cognitive models of loneliness, we hypothesised that loneliness predicts experienced social behaviour and vice versa. We tested these hypotheses in a sample of N = 245 college students (31.4% male) who participated in a two-year longitudinal survey. A subsample (n = 87, 24.1% male) also participated in a 14-day diary survey. This enabled us to test both long- and short-term associations between loneliness and social behaviour. Moreover, we investigated between-person (i.e. prolonged) and within-person (i.e. temporary) effects between loneliness and reports of social behaviour. Multilevel modelling showed that loneliness predicted individuals’ reports of own and others’ positive social behaviour, and reports of others’ positive social behaviour predicted loneliness at the between-person level (while most of the effects at the within-person level were nonsignificant) in both the short and long term. The results suggest that people with higher levels of prolonged (but not temporary) loneliness tend to report less positive social behaviour, and people who experience others’ behaviour less positively are more likely lonely. This study highlights the relation between prolonged loneliness and social behaviour.

description: A theoretical model of hyperfine spectra of nuclear spin conversion of molecular isomers has been developed. The model takes into account the nuclear spin-spin and spin-rotation interactions, as well as the saturation of intramolecular mixing of molecular ortho and para states. The model has been applied to hyperfine spectra of nuclear spin conversion in ^{13}CH3F molecules subjected to an external electric field. Conditions under which the hyperfine structure in the spectra can be resolved have been determined.

description: Scattering of starlight by dust, molecules and electrons in spiral galaxies will produce a modification of the direct intensity and a polarization in the observed light. We treat the case where the distribution of scatterers can be considered to be optically thin, and derive semi-analytic expressions for the resolved intensity and polarized intensity for Thomson, Rayleigh, and more general scattering mechanisms. These expressions are applied to a parametric model spiral galaxies. It is further shown that in the case of Thomson and Rayleigh scattering, and when scatterers and stars are distributed with rotational symmetry, the total polarized flux depends on the inclination, $i$, of the galactic axis to the line of sight according to a simple $\sin ^2 i$ law. This generalises the well known result for pointlike and spherical light sources. By using a method based on spherical harmonics, we generalise this law for more general mechanisms, and show that to good approximation, the $\sin ^2 i$ law still holds for the class of models considered.

description: We present Open Multi-Processing (OpenMP) version of Fortran 90 programs for solving the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation for a Bose-Einstein condensate in one, two, and three spatial dimensions, optimized for use with GNU and Intel compilers. We use the split-step Crank-Nicolson algorithm for imaginary- and real-time propagation, which enables efficient calculation of stationary and non-stationary solutions, respectively. The present OpenMP programs are designed for computers with multi-core processors and optimized for compiling with both commercially-licensed Intel Fortran and popular free open-source GNU Fortran compiler. The programs are easy to use and are elaborated with helpful comments for the users. All input parameters are listed at the beginning of each program. Different output files provide physical quantities such as energy, chemical potential, root-mean-square sizes, densities, etc. We also present speedup test results for new versions of the programs.

description: Research on evaluative conditioning (EC) shows that attitudes can emerge from co-occurrences of stimuli, and accumulating evidence suggests that EC usually depends on memory for these stimulus contingencies. Therefore, processes known to aid memory retention may be relevant for the development of stable attitudes. One such process may be memory consolidation, assumed to be promoted by waking rest and sleep. In two pre-registered experiments, we investigated whether waking rest (vs. cognitive activity, Experiment 1) and sleep (vs. wakefulness, Experiment 2) in between conditioning and measurement of EC, consolidate contingency memory and EC. Contrary to our predictions, waking rest (vs. cognitive activity) promoted neither contingency memory nor EC effects. Sleep (vs. wakefulness) decreased forgetting of contingency memory but crucially, it did not attenuate the impact of counterconditioning on contingency memory. Sleep also did not influence EC effects, nor the reduction of EC by counterconditioning. EC effects in both experiments were predicted by contingency memory. Yet, unexpectedly, EC effects occurred in the absence of contingency memory after waking rest, but neither after sleep nor in the active control conditions. Our findings emphasise a role of contingency memory in EC, but it remains unclear whether this role changes during waking rest.

description: Several vehicular communication applications will involve multicast/broadcast communications where all vehicles in a certain region of interest are the intended recipients of particular messages. While there are several existing broadcast routing protocols for highway VANETs, very few solutions exist for urban VANETs in cities like New York City or Chicago. This article attempts to fill this gap by proposing a new broadcast routing protocol, Urban Vehicular BroadCAST (UV-CAST), which addresses both the broadcast storm and disconnected network problems in urban VANETs. Key challenges imposed by urban VANETs as well as new mechanisms needed for meeting these challenges are identified and presented. Performance of the proposed UV-CAST protocol is evaluated in terms of network reachability, received distance, and network overhead in ideal Manhattan Street scenarios as well as in real cities, such as Pittsburgh. The overall performance of UV-CAST is excellent.
