description: We present new radial velocity measurements for three low-metallicity solar-like stars observed with the SOPHIE spectrograph and its predecessor ELODIE, both installed at the 193 cm telescope of the Haute-Provence Observatory, allowing the detection and characterization of three new giant extrasolar planets in intermediate periods of 1.7 to 3.7 years. All three stars, HD17674, HD42012 and HD29021 present single giant planetary companions with minimum masses between 0.9 and 2.5 MJup. The range of periods and masses of these companions, along with the distance of their host stars, make them good targets to look for astrometric signals over the lifetime of the new astrometry satellite Gaia. We discuss the preliminary astrometric solutions obtained from the first Gaia data release.

description: The negative associations of subclinical ketosis (SCK) with downstream health events and production have been well described in dairy cattle during early lactation. Cows with SCK have an increased risk of developing additional postpartum diseases such as displaced abomasum (DA), are at an increased risk of leaving the herd, and have decreased milk yield during early lactation. Thus, the cost per case of SCK depends on a variety of factors including increased occurrence of postpartum diseases, cost of herd replacements, and loss of milk production. The intensity and accuracy of diagnostic testing used to define a case of SCK then affects the reliability of the cost estimate. Additionally, overall herd costs of SCK vary based on herd SCK incidence, and a cost-to-treatment benefit ratio depends on the frequency and accuracy with which cows are tested. Although a higher testing frequency improves accuracy, it may not improve the cost-to-treatment benefit. Following accurate identification of SCK-positive cows, individual cow treatment with propylene glycol (PG) is an effective means ofreducing the risks associated with SCK. The purpose of this study was to develop stochastic economic models which address variation in disease risks and costs in order to evaluate different simulated on-farm testing and PG treatment strategies based on herd SCK incidence.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Ichtyoplankton in the Gulf of Riga was investigated during summer 1976-2000. The paper describes spatial and temporal variations of spring-spawning herring (Clupea harengus membras L.) larvae abundance in Southern Part of the Gulf of Riga (over 10-50 m depths). Annual differences of mean larvae abundance in July were considerable, as well as the differences of larvae abundances in five studied areas. The highest herring larvae numbers more often were recorded in eastern and southeastern areas - mean values were 431 and 379 larvae/1000 m3 respectively. In order to explain the spatial variability of larvae abundance by areas and years the influence of dynamic factors was analysed. Herring larvae abundance in eastern, western and southwestern areas increased when water circulation affected by winds was cyclonic. The paper describes also herring larvae distribution by size and stage of development during 1990s. Herring year-class strength has more significant correlation with the abundance of larvae in III and IV stages, than with the total number of larvae.
Evaluation of the respective relationships between rumination time within the first 10 days in milk and periparturient diseases, subclinical hypocalcemia, negative energy balance, and milk production in dairy cows

description: Healthy dairy cows ruminate approximately 400 to 500 minutes per day; however, rumination time can be affected by several factors such as diet composition, health status, environment, and stress. Increased rumination time can be associated with increased health because of increased saliva production, whereas decreased rumination time has been associated with negative health effects. Historically, evaluating rumination time was laborious and limited to a few animals at a time; however, adoption of new technology like rumination collars has allowed increased data collection and monitoring of rumination time at both the individual and herd level. The effect of rumination time early in the postpartum period, based on rumination collar data, on milk production has not been thoroughly evaluated. The objectives of this pilot study were to evaluate the maximum number minutes per day spent ruminating during the first 10 days-in-milk (DIM) for cows that developed displaced abomasum (DA), clinical ketosis (CK), subclinical hypocalcemia, or excessive negative energy balance, and to evaluate the association between rumination minutes and total milk production during the first 30 DIM after controlling for potential confounders.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Vertical distribution of ichthyoplankton in the Gdansk Deep and the Gotland Basin (eastern part of the Baltic sea) was investigated with BIOMOC multiple opening and closing net in 1996 - 2001. Mortality rates of sprat (Sprattus sprattus balticus Schneider) eggs from I to II and from II to III stages of development have been calculated for the different layers of sampling. These water layers differed in temperature and oxygen content. Low temperature of the ambient water did not seem to influence the mortality rates very much. Oxygen content looked to be more important. Mortality rates showed great variability, but they usually started to increase slightly when the oxygen content decreased below ca.5 - 6 ml/l. This rise accelerated at the lower levels of saturation of water with oxygen. Oxygen content in the deep-water basins of the eastern part of the Baltic Sea decreased drastically in recent years, thus influencing the survival of sprat eggs. Also total mortality coefficients were computed for all the layers and surveys. They were significantly rising with the decrease in ambient water temperature. The observed increase in these coefficients with the decline in oxygen content was less significant.

description: Purpose: In the present study, we investigated whether the disruption of the Hif-1α gene affects the sensitivity of SCC VII cells to metformin and also if metformin functions as a radiosensitizer using murine squamous cell carcinoma (SCC VII) cells. Materials and methods: Cultured SCC VII and SCC VII Hif-1α-deficient cells were incubated with metformin under glucose-free and/or hypoxia-mimetic conditions and cell viabilities were measured. Tumor-bearing mice were continuously given 5-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine (BrdU) to label all proliferating cells. Tumor-bearing mice were then subjected to γ-ray irradiation after the metformin treatment. Immediately after irradiation, cells were isolated from some tumors and incubated with a cytokinesis blocker. The responses of quiescent and total (= proliferating + quiescent) cell populations were assessed based on the frequency of micronuclei using immunofluorescence staining for BrdU. Results: The disruption of Hif-1α increased the sensitivity of SCC VII cells to metformin in glucose-free medium. Metformin-induced decreases in the percentage of dead cells in the presence of CoCl2 were partially reduced when Hif-1α was disrupted. In vivo, metformin increased the radiosensitivity of SCC VII Hif-1α-deficient cells. Conclusion: The combination of disruption of Hif-1α and metformin effectively enhanced the radiosensitivity of SCC VII cells.

description: Dairy cows undergo a state of negative energy balance (NEB) after parturition and use energy from fat reserves to overcome the NEB and maintain milk production. Body condition score (BCS) is used to determine the cow's body fat reserve, and its association with milk production has been studied. Backfat thickness (BFT) is associated with BCS, and it is a more objective measurement. Sequential body weight (BW) measurements may be a good way to monitor energy reserve use, yet the association between daily BW measurements and milk production has not been examined. Also, there has been little description of the related dynamics of BCS, BFT, and BW. The objectives of this study were to describe the dynamics of BCS, BFT, and BW during the first 50 days-in-milk (DIM), and to evaluate the association between these potential explanatory variables and milk production (MP) in the herds with automatic milking systems (AMS).

description: Metastability in open system dynamics describes the phenomena of initial relaxation to longlived metastable states before decaying to the asymptotic stable states. It has been predicted in continuous-time stochastic dynamics of both classical and quantum systems. Here we present a general theory of metastability in discrete-time open quantum dynamics, described by sequential quantum channels. We focus on a general class of quantum channels on a target system, induced by an ancilla system with a pure-dephasing coupling to the target system and under Ramsey sequences. Interesting metastable behaviors are predicted and numerically demonstrated by decomposing the average dynamics into stochastic trajectories. Examples and applications are also discussed.

description: Cell injection is a technique in the domain of biological cell micro-manipulation for the delivery of small volumes of samples into the suspended or adherent cells. It has been widely applied in various areas, such as gene injection, in-vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ISCI) and drug development. However, the existing manual and semi-automated cell injection systems require lengthy training and suffer from high probability of contamination and low success rate. In the recently introduced fully automated cell injection systems, the injection force plays a vital role in the success of the process since even a tiny excessive force can destroy the membrane or tissue of the biological cell. Traditionally, the force control algorithms are analyzed using simulation, which is inherently non-exhaustive and incomplete in terms of detecting system failures. Moreover, the uncertainties in the system are generally ignored in the analysis. To overcome these limitations, we present a formal analysis methodology based on probabilistic model checking to analyze a robotic cell injection system utilizing the impedance force control algorithm. The proposed methodology, developed using the PRISM model checker, allowed to find a discrepancy in the algorithm, which was not found by any of the previous analysis using the traditional methods.

description: Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) are produced by binucleate giant cells of the ruminant placenta and secreted into maternal circulation during pregnancy. These proteins can be detected in maternal serum and milk as early as 28 days post-insemination, which makes them a potential target for pregnancy detection, which in turn could provide an alternative management tool for dairy and beef producers. The presence of PA Gs in serum has been used extensively to diagnose bovine pregnancy. More recently, the Bovine Pregnancy ELISA (IDEXX, Westbrook ME) has been used to detect the presence of PAGs in milk. Although the milk ELISA was designed primarily to be a management tool for dairy operations, it has potential for use in beef operations in remote areas where veterinarians are not readily available to perform pregnancy diagnosis and the producer lacks the skill set to collect a blood sample. The objective of this study was to compare the results of the PAG ELISA used on milk and serum to pregnancy diagnosis by transrectal palpation or ultrasound in lactating beef cows with previous artificial inseminations or bull exposure.

description: Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe) constitute an ideal astrophysical environment to test our current understanding of relativistic plasma processes. It is well known that magnetic fields play a crucial role in their dynamics and emission properties. At present, one of the main issues concerns the level of magnetic turbulence present in these systems, which in the absence of space resolved X-ray polarization measures cannot be directly constrained. In this work we investigate, for the first time using simulated synchrotron maps, the effect of a small scale fluctuating component of the magnetic field on the emission properties in X-ray. We illustrate how to include the effects of a turbulent component in standard emission models for PWNe, and which consequences are expected in terms of net emissivity and depolarization, showing that the X-ray surface brightness maps can provide already some rough constraints. We then apply our analysis to the Crab and Vela nebulae and, by comparing our model with Chandra and Vela data, we found that the typical energies in the turbulent component of the magnetic field are about 1.5 to 3 times the one in the ordered field.

description: Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease in cattle caused by the protozoa, Tritrichomonas foetus. This single-celled, flagellated parasite colonizes the preputial folds of bulls, who serve as asymptomatic carriers of the organism. It is a significant cause of infertility and pregnancy wastage in beef herds. Cows become infected by a carrier bull during breeding, frequently resulting in infertility because of embryonic or early fetal death, abortion, and occasionally pyometra and fetal maceration. Trichomoniasis can be masked by other factors such as poor nutrition, bull subfertility, drought, or other diseases such as leptospirosis and campylobacteriosis. Management practices that perpetuate trichomoniasis include introducing or keeping infected bulls or brood cows in the herd. In some cases, pregnant cows may carry the organism and be a source of infection after calving. Progress in controlling or eradicating trichomoniasis is hampered by the lack of knowledge of its true prevalence throughout the United States. Results of a 2004 report of beef herds in Florida indicated that 11.1% of herds had at least 1 T. foetus-positive bull. Reports documenting the prevalence of T. foetus in beef cows are lacking. Infertility due to infection with T. foetus may be a significant cause of culling in beef cows. However, because of the self-limiting nature of the disease and low sensitivity of culture in cows, testing for T. foetus is not routinely performed on the farm. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of T. foetus in the reproductive tracts obtained from cull cows at a Georgia slaughter plant.

description: Refractive index of tubulin is an important parameter underlying fundamental electromagnetic and biophysical properties of microtubules - protein fibers essential for several cell functions including cell division. Yet, the only experimental data available in the current literature show values of tubulin refractive index (n\,=\,2.36\,-\,2.90) which are much higher than established theories predict based on the weighted contribution of the polarizability of individual amino acids constituting the protein. To resolve this controversy, we report here modeling and rigorous experimental analysis of refractive index of purified tubulin dimer. Our experimental data revealed that the refractive index of tubulin is n\,=\,1.64 at the wavelength 589\,nm and 25\,$^{\circ}{\rm C}$, that is much closer to the values predicted by established theories than the earlier experimental data provide.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In spring 1999, repeated larval surveys were undertaken by IFREMER from March to July on a major spawning ground of anchovy off Gironde estuary. In September, a juvenile survey was performed in collaboration with AZTI. The paper describes the methodology for reading the larval and juvenile otoliths as well as for reconstructing the correspondence in space and time between juveniles and larvae using an 3D hydrodynamic model. The thin otoliths (sagittae) of the larvae were read directly using a light microscope. The thicker otoliths (sagittae) of the juveniles had to be polished before reading. To read the narrow increments near the nucleus (first weeks after mouth opening), it was necessary to use a greater magnification (x1250) than for the overall reading (x312.5). Because the otolith increases along preferential axes after larval stage, measurements were always performed in a similar manner relative to these axes. Virtual buoys were released in the hydrodynamic model on a regular grid at dates compatible with the estimated juvenile birthdates. The trajectories that arrived near juvenile sampling locations at dates compatible with sampled juvenile ages were retained and their origin was thus evidenced. Some of the juveniles sampled in September could have originated from the French spawning ground off the Gironde estuary in June and July. The comparison of the survived juvenile growth rates during their larval period with the otolith growth rate of the June and July larvae supported the idea of growth-selective survival : the survived September juveniles showed faster growth than the pool of June larvae they were estimated to originate from. Variations in otolith growth pattern also suggest a higher juvenile growth over the shelf break than in oceanic waters.

description: We employ the generic three-wave system, with the $χ^{(2)}$ interaction between two components of the fundamental-frequency (FF) wave and second-harmonic (SH) one, to consider collisions of truncated Airy waves (TAWs) and three-wave solitons in a setting which is not available in other nonlinear systems. The advantage is that the single-wave TAWs, carried by either one of the FF component, are not distorted by the nonlinearity and are stable, three-wave solitons being stable too in the same system. The collision between mutually symmetric TAWs, carried by the different FF components, transforms them into a set of solitons, the number of which decreases with the increase of the total power. The TAW absorbs an incident small-power soliton, and a high-power soliton absorbs the TAW. Between these limits, the collision with an incident soliton converts the TAW into two solitons, with a remnant of the TAW attached to one of them, or leads to formation of a complex TAW-soliton bound state. At large velocities, the collisions become quasi-elastic.

description: Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a contagious retrovirus of cattle. Little is known about the prevalence, risk factors, or potential health impacts of BLV in beef cattle. Most cattle remain asymptomatic, but 30 to 40% will develop persistent leukocytosis. Fewer than 5% of infected cattle develop malignant lymphosarcoma, which in the US, is the most common neoplastic disease of cattle discovered at slaughter. Recent studies have suggested that BLV prevalence has increased dramatically, and has a previously unappreciated economic impact on the cattle industry. The objectives of this study were to determine the crude and age-specific prevalence of BLV among beef bulls in Michigan, assess the possible impact of BLV infection on bull fertility, and identify the major risk factors for BLV transmission among beef bulls.

description: Pleurotoma prevostina Def. — Defrance 1826: 391 [nomen dubium].
 Defrance (1826: 391) gave a brief description of a shell from Hirtenberg at Enzesfeld in Austria, stating (in French): “ Shell fusiform, ventrose, covered by coarse striae, which follow the whorls. With strangulation in upper part whorl. Canal very short ”. This insufficient description might point to a Granulatocincta species. Defrance (1826) referred to Constant Prévost (1787–1856), who described the geology from the Hirtenberg area in Prévost (1820). The type material was destroyed in WW II and therefore, the identity of this taxon remains dubious. The species was listed by Tucker (2004), however, it was overlooked that Quenstedt (1884: 625, pl. 210, fig. 49) used this name for a clavatulid from Enzesfeld [Perrona vindobonensis (Quenstedt, 1884)], which does not agree with the description of Defrance.

description: Based on an extensive redshift survey for galaxy cluster Abell 2029 and Coma, we measure the luminosity functions (LFs), stellar mass functions (SMFs) for the entire cluster member galaxies. Most importantly, we measure the velocity dispersion functions (VDFs) for quiescent members. The MMT/Hectospec redshift survey for galaxies in A2029 identifies 982 spectroscopic members; for 838 members we derive the central velocity dispersion from the spectroscopy. Coma is the only other cluster surveyed as densely. The LFs, SMFs and VDFs for A2029 and Coma are essentially identical. The SMFs of the clusters are consistent with simulations. The A2029 and Coma VDFs for quiescent galaxies have a significantly steeper slope than those of field galaxies for velocity dispersion $\lesssim 100$ km s$^{-1}$. The cluster VDFs also exceed the field at velocity dispersion $\gtrsim 250$ km s$^{-1}$. The differences between cluster and field VDFs are potentially important tests of simulations and of the formation of structure in the universe.

description: Pactermines E and F (1 and 2), two new pregnane alkaloids were isolated from the whole plant of Pachysandra terminalis Sieb. et Zucc. Their structures were determined by physicochemical properties and spectroscopic methods including 1D, 2D NMR, IR, HR-ESI-MS data. Cytotoxic activities against three human cancer A549, HCT116 and SW620 cell lines of the isolated compounds were evaluated by CCK8 method. However, all compounds showed no significant activity against the three cancer cells (IC50>100 μM) except for compound 1, which showed inhibitory effects against HCT116 cells with IC50 values of 84.6 μM.

description: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is an economically important syndrome in the beef industry, and diagnostic accuracy is important for optimal disease management. Diagnostic test improvements are typically focused on changing sensitivity or specificity, but enhancement in both simultaneously is rare. The research objective was to determine whether improving diagnostic sensitivity or specificity was of greater economic value at varied levels of BRD prevalence by the use of Monte Carlo simulation.

description: We demonstrate the existence of a novel quasiparticle: an exciton in a semiconductor doubly dressed with two photons of different wavelengths: near infrared cavity photon and terahertz (THz) photon, with the THz coupling strength approaching the ultra-strong coupling regime. This quasiparticle is composed of three different bosons, being a mixture of a matter-light quasiparticle. Our observations are confirmed by a detailed theoretical analysis, treating quantum mechanically all three bosonic fields. The doubly dressed quasiparticles retain the bosonic nature of their constituents, but their internal quantum structure strongly depends on the intensity of the applied terahertz field.

description: The improvement of the fresh bulb and the economic dry matter yields of onion is dependent on the morphogenetic variability and the interrelationships amongst morphological attributes which can be used to determine the quality or performance of the crop. This research was aimed to study the morphogenetic characteristics of ten genotypes of onion (Ares, Violet de Galmi, Red Creole, “Wase”, “Dan Zaria”, “Dan Garko”, “Dan Giyawa”, “Bahaushe”, “Bakana” and “Yar Aleiro”) in Jos, Plateau State. Using the seedlings raised in the nursery, the genotypes were laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replicates. Results showed that morphological attributes differed amongst the genotypes, except the number of leaves per plant, neck thickness and horizontal bulb diameter. The study concludes that morphological differences, which are responsible for differences in fresh bulb and dry matter yields, exist amongst the different genotypes of onion. These attributes could be used as selection indices in the improvement of the onion.
Effect of the non-thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect on the temperature determination of galaxy clusters

description: A recent stacking analysis of Planck HFI data of galaxy clusters (Hurier 2016) allowed to derive the cluster temperatures by using the relativistic corrections to the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE). However, the temperatures of high-temperature clusters, as derived from this analysis, resulted to be basically higher than the temperatures derived from X-ray measurements, at a moderate statistical significance of $1.5σ$. This discrepancy has been attributed by Hurier (2016) to calibration issues. In this paper we discuss an alternative explanation for this discrepancy in terms of a non-thermal SZE astrophysical component. We find that this explanation can work if non-thermal electrons in galaxy clusters have a low value of their minimum momentum ($p_1\sim0.5-1$), and if their pressure is of the order of $20-30\%$ of the thermal gas pressure. Both these conditions are hard to obtain if the non-thermal electrons are mixed with the hot gas in the intra cluster medium, but can be possibly obtained if the non-thermal electrons are mainly confined in bubbles with high content of non-thermal plasma and low content of thermal plasma, or in giant radio lobes/relics located in the outskirts of clusters. In order to derive more precise results on the properties of non-thermal electrons in clusters, and in view of more solid detections of a discrepancy between X-rays and SZE derived clusters temperatures that cannot be explained in other ways, it would be necessary to reproduce the full analysis done by Hurier (2016) by adding systematically the non-thermal component of the SZE.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Blue whiting is a physoclist gadoid distributed in the Northeast Atlantic. The catches in recent years have ranged between 1-1.7 mill tonnes. The stock is currently being assessed from VPA and acoustic surveys in the spawning season. The latter usually yielding estimates twice the size of the former. Acoustic estimates in late summer in the Norwegian Sea in the early 80's, however, yielded lower acoustic estimates compared to those obtained during the spawning season the same year. The total fat content of blue whiting varies significantly during the year. Being at a minimum in April/Mai after spawning and at a maximum in August at the height of the feeding season. The gas filled swim bladder represents most of the acoustic back scattering energy (echo) and any changes in the volume of the swim bladder would affect the echo. If it is assumed that blue whiting is at neutral buoyancy in seawater, then changes in fat content, which has a lower specific density than seawater, may affect the amount of gas needed to attain neutral buoyancy. By simple modelling of the swimbladder we find an inverse relationship between the acoustic target strength and fat content, and seasonal variations in fat content of 7% might lead to a bias of up to 12% in acoustic biomass estimates, if they were compared between the low-fat and high-fat period. New in situ target strength measurements of blue whiting are asked for, also covering the natural variation in fat content of the fish.

description: The role of cooperatives in buffering the effects of imperfect markets on smallholder agriculture especially in developing countries has been widely atoned. However, and in spite of eminent advantages, not all smallholder farmers join cooperatives. We use empirical data from coffee farmers in Northwestern Cameroon to identify key factors driving coffee farmers’ decisions to join or not to join a cooperative. Using a standardized questionnaire, data was collected from 140 randomly selected farmers (members and non-members) in contact with North West Cooperative Association Limited (NWCA). Data collection took place in January 2018, with 2017 as the reference period. We use the data to characterize the coffee sector in the region, and to identify key drivers for cooperative membership. 41.4% and 58.6% were NWCA members and nonmembers respectively. The area of land under coffee cultivation, dominant income source, household size, experience in coffee farming, and timely payment of farmers’ dues by the cooperative were the key factors influencing coffee farmers’ decision to join the cooperative or not (P=0.05). Identifying such drivers from farmers’ perspectives and informing policy decisions can increase competitive advantage of smallholder farmers and reduce the effects of market imperfection, as embedded in cooperative concept. This should render the concept once more attractive and portray it as a rational option to many smallholder farmers.

description: Clavatula (Clavatula) cf. pseudinterrupta Peyrot— Steininger et al. 1973: 438.
 Steininger et al. (1973) mentioned two poorly preserved specimens from the Ottnangian of Bavaria (Germany), which have not been illustrated. As stated by the authors, their specimens are not conspecific with the species from France.
 Rutsch (1929) and Pfister & Wegmüller (2007) described several specimens from the Burdigalian of Switzerland, which they assigned to Clavatula (Perrona) cf. jouanneti [sic] (Des Moulins) (in Rutsch 1929: 14, pl. 1, fig. 2) and to Clavatula sp. 1 and Clavatula sp. 2 (in Pfister & Wegmüller 2007: 176, pl. 11, figs 9–21). The poor preservation of these specimens does not allow any identification.
