description: Tierschutzrelevante Aspekte gewinnen beim Konsum tierischer Erzeugnisse zunehmend an Bedeutung. Aufgrund der Warenpräsentation und dem direkten Kontakt zum Verkaufspersonal wird der Einkauf über Fleischereifachgeschäften (FFG) und Direktvermarktung (DV) von den Verbrauchern präferiert. Jedoch haben diese Vermarktungsformen mit Herausforderungen zu kämpfen und müssen sich von der Konkurrenz abgrenzen. Daher werden in dieser Studie mögliche Einflussfaktoren auf die Bereitschaft zur Umsetzung alternativer Vertriebs- und Marketingstrategien in der Vermarktung von tierischen Erzeugnissen untersucht. Exemplarisch wurden als Vertriebs- und Marketingstrategien das Angebot von Heimtierfutter aus Tierwohlfleisch, Crowdbutching sowie die Abgrenzung über höhere Prozessqualitäten aufgezeigt. Im Rahmen dieser Studie sind 17 Experteninterviews mit Betriebsleitern aus der landwirtschaftlichen Direktvermarktung sowie von Fleischereifachgeschäften zu diesem Thema durchgeführt worden. Die Ergebnisse wurden mittels einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Grundsätzlich schätzen sich die Experten als innovativ ein und zeigen eine erhöhte Veränderungsbereitschaft. Dennoch weisen sie auch auf Probleme und Herausforderungen, wie höhere Auflagen und Kosten, hin, die mit den verbundenen Strategien einhergehen. Insgesamt wird deutlich, dass die Vermarktung von Fleisch und Fleischerzeugnissen aus einer tiergerechteren Haltung sowie die Erzeugung qualitativ hochwertiger Produkte entscheidende Kriterien in der Vermarktung von tierischen Produkten darstellen.

description: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a leading cause of calf morbidity and mortality in both beef and dairy sectors of the United States cattle industry resulting in financial losses and compromised welfare. Differential gene expression (DGE) al­lows detailed insight into individual immune responses and can identify enriched pathways and biomarkers that contrib­ute to disease susceptibility and outcome. Differential expres­sion of genes related to innate immune function has been well documented in both feedlot and post-weaned dairy cattle with experimentally induced or naturally occurring BRD. However, little is known regarding DGE in pre-weaned Holstein calves. Therefore, the aims of this study were to evaluate gene expres­sion in peripheral leukocytes relative to BRD diagnosis, dis­ease progression and age progression in Holstein heifer calves throughout the preweaning period.

description: At the cosmological stage of radiation dominance, dark matter density spikes should form around primordial black holes. In the case when dark matter particles are able to annihilate, the density in the central regions of the spikes decreases due to the elimination of particles, which gives an upper bound on the central density. In this paper, the modification of the central density profile is investigated, taking into account the distribution of the particle orbits. The orbits in spike around a primordial black hole are very elongated, almost radial, and the angular momentum distribution has an exponential form. For such an initial distribution function, it is obtained that a cusp with the exponent $\approx-0.7$ is formed in the central region, instead of an annihilation plateau. The presence of the cusp provides some correction to the rate of dark matter annihilation around primordial black holes.

description: As the popularity of autonomous vehicles has grown, many standards and regulators, such as ISO, NHTSA, and Euro NCAP, require safety validation to ensure a sufficient level of safety before deploying them in the real world. Manufacturers gather a large amount of public road data for this purpose. However, the majority of these validation activities are done manually by humans. Furthermore, the data used to validate each driving feature may differ. As a result, it is essential to have an efficient data selection method that can be used flexibly and dynamically for verification and validation while also accelerating the validation process. In this paper, we present a data selection method that is practical, flexible, and efficient for assessment of autonomous vehicles. Our idea is to optimize the similarity between the metadata distribution of the selected data and a predefined metadata distribution that is expected for validation. Our experiments on the large dataset BDD100K show that our method can perform data selection tasks efficiently. These results demonstrate that our methods are highly reliable and can be used to select appropriate data for the validation of various safety functions.

Creators: name: Singh, Dharm
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: An area of 10 sq.km. S.W. of Clifden, Co. Galway has been studied. The area consists of the Delaney Dome formation mace of siliceous granoclastites surrounded by the Ballyconneely amphibolites which grade outwards into the Errismore metagabbros. About 72 samples of siliceous granoclastites and 120 of Ballyconneely amphibolites have been analysed by X.R.F. methods for all major elements and 13 trace elements (Cr, Co, Ni, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, La, Ce, Pb, Th). This data together with some microprobe abalyses are presented and used to deduce the origin of the siliceous granoclastites and the "way up" of the Ballyconneely amphibolites. The comagmatic nature of the amphibolites and the Errismore metagabbros is proved using major elements and supported by trace elements. The amphibolites young towards the centre of the Delaney Dome from the Errismore metagabbros and are struxturally inverted. The parent of the siliceous granoclastites is shown to be rhyolite or rhyodacite by using both major and trace element chemistry. This acid volcanic rock has been crushed and mylonitised. The chemical methods used enable the distinction of metaquartzo-feldspathic rocks of sedimentary origin (sandstones or arkoses) from those of plutonic origin (granites or gneisses) from those of volcanic origin (rhyolite-dacite). These methods can be applied to other areas of problematical metaquartzofeldspathic rocks. These results have contributed significantly to identifying the Connemara nappe.

description: Scopaeus velutinus Motschulsky, 1858
This species was described from ‘Indes orientales’ by Motschulsky (1858: 642, 643). The record for Borneo (Bernhauer 1922: 230) may go back to two male Bornean specimens (Pagate, Telang 1881, leg. Grabowsky) of an undescribed species in the Fauvel collection (ISNB) identified as Scopaeus decipiens Kraatz, 1859, which is considered a synonym of S. velutinus since Fauvel (1904: 53). Type studies revealed that this synonymy is incorrect. Both S. velutinus and S. decipiens are absent from Indonesia. The undescribed species from Borneo is, however, closely related to the ‘true’ S. decipiens from India.

description: When a streak canal injury occurs, there may be subtle or no external signs of damage. The first sign a producer notices is it takes longer for the injured quarter to empty or milk flow is im­paired during milking. Given that a dairy cow with 4 efficiently functioning teats is essential to dairy production systems, an economically feasible procedure, such as distal teat amputa­tion, to treat these injuries is necessary. The objectives of this study were to describe the distal teat amputation procedure and determine the short- and long-term outcomes of dairy cows treated with a distal teat amputation. The hypothesis is that dairy cows with internal damage to the streak canal and subse­quent difficulty milking will have improved milking efficiency with the machine following surgical treatment with a distal teat amputation.

description: Dimensionality significantly affects exciton production and condensation. Despite the report of excitonic instability in one-dimensional materials, it remains unclear whether these spontaneously produced excitons can form Bose-Einstein condensates. In this work, we first prove statistically that one-dimensional condensation exists when the spontaneously generated excitons are thought of as an ideal neutral Bose gas, which is quite different from the inability of free bosons to condense. We then derive a general expression for the critical temperature in different dimensions and find that the critical temperature increases with decreasing dimension. We finally predict by first-principles $GW$-BSE calculations that experimentally accessible single-chain staircase Scandocene and Chromocene wires are an antiferromagnetic spin-triplet excitonic insulator and a ferromagnetic half-excitonic insulator, respectively.

description: In this study, we investigate the decoherence of a spatially superposed electrically neutral spin-$\frac12$ particle in the presence of a relativistic quantum electromagnetic field in Minkowski spacetime. We demonstrate that decoherence due to the spin-magnetic field coupling can be categorized into two distinct factors: local decoherence, originating from the two-point correlation functions along each branch of the superposed trajectories, and nonlocal decoherence, which arises from the correlation functions between the two superposed trajectories. These effects are linked to phase damping and amplitude damping. We also show that if the quantum field is prepared in a thermal state, decoherence monotonically increases with the field temperature.

description: Light echoes occur when light from a luminous transient is scattered by dust back into our line of sight with a time delay due to the extra propagation distance. We introduce a novel approach to estimating the distance to a source by combining light echoes with recent three-dimensional dust maps. We identify light echoes from the historical supernovae Cassiopeia A and SN 1572 (Tycho) in nearly a decade of imaging from the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN). Using these light echoes, we find distances of $3.6\pm0.1$ kpc and $3.2^{+0.1}_{-0.2}$ kpc to Cas A and Tycho, respectively, which are generally consistent with previous estimates but are more precise. These distance uncertainties are primarily dominated by the low distance resolution of the 3D dust maps, which will likely improve in the future. The candidate single degenerate explosion donor stars B and G in Tycho are clearly foreground stars. Finally, the inferred reddening towards each SN agrees well with the intervening HI column density estimates from X-ray analyses of the remnants.

description: Every day in bovine practice, veterinarians need to make deci­sions ranging from a decision as to whether (or not) to use an intervention or to apply a diagnostic test, to decisions about the overall management of complex conditions. Increasingly, it is expected that decisions are evidence-based. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care and management of patients.

description: We compare two-moment based \emph{energy-dependent} and 3 variants of \emph{energy-integrated} neutrino transport general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations of hypermassive neutron star. To study the impacts due to the choice of the neutrino transport schemes, we perform simulations with the same setups and input neutrino microphysics. We show that the main differences between energy-dependent and energy-integrated neutrino transport are found in the disk and ejecta properties, as well as in the neutrino signals. The properties of the disk surrounding the neutron star and the ejecta in energy-dependent transport are very different from the ones obtained using energy-integrated schemes. Specifically, in the energy-dependent case, the disk is more neutron-rich at early times, and becomes geometrically thicker at later times. In addition, the ejecta is more massive, and on average more neutron-rich in the energy-dependent simulations. Moreover, the average neutrino energies and luminosities are about 30\% higher. Energy-dependent neutrino transport is necessary if one wants to better model the neutrino signals and matter outflows from neutron star merger remnants via numerical simulations.

description: A muon-flux measurement behind the beam dump of the J-PARC Hadron Experimental Facility was performed with a compact muon detector that can be inserted into a vertical observing hole with 81 mm in diameter which was dug underground. The detector consists of 12 plastic scintillation strips with a length of 80 mm each, which are arranged with cylindrical shape and contained inside an aluminum housing with an outer diameter of 75 mm. A silicon photomultiplier is coupled to the end of each strip to collect the scintillating light. The flux of the muons penetrating the beam dump was scanned vertically at intervals of 0.5 m, showing a wide distribution with a maximum at the beam level. The muon flux was consistent with the expectation from a Monte-Carlo simulation at more than 1 m away from the beam axis, which is expected to be used for signal-loss evaluation in the future KOTO II experiment for measuring rare kaon decays. The data can also be used in improving the accuracy of shielding calculations in the radiation protection.

Rigid yet resilient: Firms? margins of adjustment to demand shocks in regulated labour markets

Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2022

description: This paper investigates how firms adjust to demand shocks when wages and employment determination are regulated. Using firm-level data for the Italian metal engineering industry for the 2009-2015 period, we estimate the elasticity of the wage bill and, separately wage and employment margins, to changes in firm?s real sales. We disentangle the effect on different wage components (base wage and wage cushion) and labour inputs (permanent or temporary employment and working hours). Results show that resilience of the wage bill to demand shocks mainly works through the adjustment of working hours (especially via short-time work), while wage and employment margins are less sensitive. Industrial relations significantly influence the firm?s adjustment process: strong unions reduce the sensitivity of employment adjustment, conversely firm-level collective agreements show higher sensitivity via the wage cushion components. We discuss the implications of rent sharing for firm?s profitability.

description: So far, the understanding of germ cell cancer (GCC) pathogenesis is based on a model, where seminomas and non-seminomas represent distinct entities although originating from a common precursor termed germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS). Embryonal carcinomas (ECs), the stem cell population of the non-seminomas, is pluri- to totipotent and able to differentiate into cells of all three germ layers, giving rise to teratomas or tumours mimicking extraembryonic tissues (yolk sac tumours, choriocarcinomas). With regard to gene expression, (epi)genetics and histology, seminomas are highly similar to GCNIS and primordial germ cells, but limited in development. It remains elusive, whether this block in differentiation is controlled by cell intrinsic mechanisms or by signals from the surrounding microenvironment. Here, we reviewed the recent literature emphasizing the plasticity of GCCs, especially of seminomas. We propose that this plasticity is controlled by the microenvironment, allowing seminomas to transit into an EC or mixed non-seminoma and vice versa. We discuss several mechanisms and routes of reprogramming that might be responsible for this change in the cell fate. We finally integrate this plasticity into a new model of GCC pathogenesis, allowing for an alternative view on the dynamics of GCC development and progression.

description: Equatorial Kelvin waves can be affected by subtropical Rossby wave dynamics. Previous research has demonstrated the Kelvin wave growth in response to subtropical forcing and the resonant growth due to eddy momentum flux convergence. However, the relative importance of the wave-mean flow and wave-wave interactions for the Kelvin wave growth compared to the direct wave excitation by the external forcing has not been made clear. This study demonstrates the resonant Kelvin wave excitation by interactions of subtropical Rossby waves and the mean flow using a spherical shallow-water model. The use of Hough harmonics as basis functions makes Rossby and Kelvin waves prognostic variables of the model and allows the quantification of terms contributing to their tendencies in physical and wave space. The simulations show that Kelvin waves are resonantly excited by interactions of Rossby waves and the balanced zonal mean flow in the subtropics, provided the Rossby and Kelvin wave frequencies, which are modified by the mean flow, match. The resonance mechanism is substantiated by analytical expressions. The Kelvin wave tendencies are caused by velocity and depth tendencies: The velocity tendencies due to the meridional advection of zonal mean velocity can be outweighed by the zonal advection of Rossby wave velocity or by the depth tendencies due to Rossby wave divergence. Identifying the resonant excitation mechanism in data should contribute to the quantification of Kelvin wave variability originating in the subtropics.

Longevity impact on sustainability and welfare

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Conference Proceedings
Year: 2023

description: Recently, there have been increased discussions about both sustainability and longevity in the dairy industry. Sustain­ability has a goal of minimal use of resources (land, air, water, etc.) per unit of milk (and meat) produced. Longevity is deter­mined solely by the replacement rate. Dry matter intake (DMI) is a proxy for resources used in dairy production. Because the dry matter intake for maintenance metabolism is relatively constant, more milk components per cow per day will dilute maintenance. If we assume older cows will produce more milk, then increasing the longevity of the herd is an important com­ponent of sustainability. However, the impact of age on milk yield can be overestimated. The objective here is to examine the relationship between milk production and successive lacta­tions in a convenience sample of herds, with some inference to sustainability.

description: We present two studies exploring how blind or low-vision (BLV) family members engage with their sighted children's artwork, strategies to support understanding and interpretation, and the potential role of technology, such as AI, therein. Our first study involved 14 BLV individuals, and the second included five groups of BLV individuals with their children. Through semi-structured interviews with AI descriptions of children's artwork and multi-sensory design probes, we found that BLV family members value artwork engagement as a bonding opportunity, preferring the child's storytelling and interpretation over other nonvisual representations. Additionally, despite some inaccuracies, BLV family members felt that AI-generated descriptions could facilitate dialogue with their children and aid self-guided art discovery. We close with specific design considerations for supporting artwork engagement in mixed visual-ability families, including enabling artwork access through various methods, supporting children's corrections of AI output, and distinctions in context vs. content and interpretation vs. description of children's artwork.

Decomposition of Nonlinear Collision Operator in Quantum Lattice Boltzmann Algorithm

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024

description: We propose a quantum algorithm to tackle the quadratic nonlinearity in the Lattice Boltzmann (LB) collision operator. The key idea is to build the quantum gates based on the particle distribution functions (PDF) within the coherence time for qubits. Thus, both the operator and a state vector are linear functions of PDFs, and upon quantum state evolution, the resulting PDFs will have quadraticity. To this end, we decompose the collision operator for a $DmQn$ lattice model into a product of $2(n+1)$ operators, where $n$ is the number of lattice velocity directions. After decomposition, the $(n+1)$ operators with constant entries remain unchanged throughout the simulation, whereas the remaining $(n+1)$ will be built based on the statevector of the previous time step. Also, we show that such a decomposition is not unique. Compared to the second-order Carleman-linearized LB, the present approach reduces the circuit width by half and circuit depth by exponential order. The proposed algorithm has been verified through the one-dimensional flow discontinuity and two-dimensional Kolmogrov-like flow test cases.

description: Emphasis on early conception after calving has long been a tar­get of the dairy industry as an important step for high produc­tivity in dairy cattle. However, data show that average produc­tive life of cows has been steadily declining, suggesting short calving intervals may be detrimental to long-term survivability and therefore animal well-being. The objectives of this study were to determine if cows that conceived early after calving did differ in long-term milk production and culling risk compared to cows that conceived later in a study encompassing 2 consecu­tive lactations.

description: The trolleybus has been a popular public transport vehicle for more than a hundred years across the world. However, the typical features of double passive pantograph-booms with two-wire overhead line often creates complicated catenary webs (particularly at crossroads) and can result in easily de-wiring and arcing issues. In this thesis, a novel concept of Active Control of Trolleybus Current Collection System (ACTCCS) is introduced with actuator-controlled solo-pantograph and single overhead line (catenary formed by two wires fitted on a frame with enough electric clearance and creep) as well as electric (traction)-electric (battery or supercapacitor backup) hybrid (E-E hybrid) propulsion.

description: Current options for depopulation of adult cattle outlined in the “AVMA Guidelines for the Depopulation of Animals” are limited, have logistic constraints, and may not be practical on a large scale. Water-based foam is advantageous because the necessary equipment is readily available, easy to use and presents minimal personnel risk. Foam has been successfully used to depopulate poultry but no research has been conduct­ed on cattle.

description: Nutrition has been reported to be a crucial part of the wound healing process in humans as malnutrition has been well-doc­umented to impede wound healing; however, this has not been evaluated in disbudding wounds in calves. Although it is be­coming more common to feed an increased nutritional plane to young dairy calves, 33% of Canadian producers in a 2015 survey were still feeding calves low levels of milk (< 6 L/d). The objec­tive of this study was to determine the impact of a biologically normal plane of nutrition compared to a limited plane on the primary outcome wound healing, and one dose of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) compared to 2 on the second­ary outcomes: lying behaviour, haptoglobin concentrations, and mechanical nociceptive threshold (MNT) in calves disbud­ded via cautery iron.

Comparison of electronic nose and conventional cow-side diagnostic tools for detection of ketosis in early lactation dairy cows

description: Ketosis is a metabolic disease observed in early lactation, high-producing dairy cows. The disease state is characterized by a negative energy balance with increases in serum, milk and urine ketone bodies (acetoacetate [AcAc], acetone and beta-hy­droxybutyrate [BHB]). Rapid diagnosis of ketosis is imperative for implementing proper treatment protocols and managing economic losses associated with reduced milk production and reproductive performance, increased culling rates and treat­ment costs.


Conventional cow-side diagnostic tools providing rapid results for ketosis detection have improved disease identification; however, these tools still require farm personnel to identify potential ketosis cases prior to their use. The implementation of a hands-off, continuous monitoring system within a produc­tion setting would streamline the diagnostic process leading to real-time health management without the need for a subjective clinical assessment.


Advancements in the non-invasive detection of volatile com­pounds holds potential in the veterinary field for disease diag­nosis. Electronic nose (Enose) technology utilizes volatile com­pounds from patient samples, such as breath, urine or milk to classify disease. Incorporating Enose technology into a contin­uous monitoring system could provide a modernized approach to cattle health management.


The objective of this study was to explore the capabilities of the Enose for ketosis detection in early lactation dairy cattle and compare its performance to diagnostic tools currently used in the dairy industry.

Boundary element code is most often bespoke, using few underlying libraries. Consequently, BEM research progress often requires "ground up" rewrites. Our flexible software, modular architecture enables N-body algorithms, advanced discretizations (higher order methods), coupling to other models (e.g. FEM) or applications (PDE-constrained optimization), straightforward efficiency analysis via work-precision diagrams, and extensions to new classes of theories, e.g. nonlinear BIEs.

description: Immediately following parturition, physiological demands for calcium increase substantially to support the onset of milk production. As a result, transitioning dairy cows may experi­ence subclinical hypocalcemia (SCH) at some point during early lactation. Cows respond to this homeostatic challenge dynamically, such that serum total calcium concentrations (tCa) at 1 and 4 days in milk (DIM) can be used to classify cows into 4 calcium dynamic groups: normocalcemic (NC: SCH at no DIM), transient (tSCH: SCH at 1 DIM only), delayed (dSCH: SCH at 4 DIM only) and persistent (pSCH: SCH at both 1 and 4 DIM). Identifying cows in the pSCH and dSCH groups is important clinically because these groups are at greater risk of adverse health events compared to the NC and tSCH cows. Our objective was to describe the temporal patterns of milk constituents for cows in each calcium group using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis of milk samples. Additionally, we hoped to ascertain whether these methods might be valuable as a diagnostic tool for grouping cows based on calcium dynamics at a clinically useful timepoint.
