description: This paper reports the results of a study into highly efficient sum frequency generation from 792 and 1556 nm wavelength light to 525 nm wavelength light using either a single or double resonant ring cavity based on a periodically poled potassium titanyl phosphate crystal (PPKTP). By optimizing the cavity$'$s parameters, the maximum power achieved for the resultant 525 nm laser was 263 and 373 mW for the single and double resonant cavity, respectively. The corresponding quantum conversion efficiencies were 8 and 77\% for converting 1556 nm photons to 525 nm photons with the single and double resonant cavity, respectively. The measured intra-cavity single pass conversion efficiency for both configurations was about 5\%. The performances of the sum frequency generation in these two configurations were studied and compared in detail. This work will provide guidelines for optimizing the generation of sum frequency generated laser light for a variety of configurations. The high conversion efficiency achieved in this work will help pave the way for frequency up-conversion of non-classical quantum states, such as the squeezed vacuum and single photon states. The proposed green laser source will be used in our future experiments, which includes a plan to generate two-colour entangled photon pairs and achieve the frequency down-conversion of single photons carrying orbital angular momentum.

description: Fomites have been shown to play a role in the transmission of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). However, there are no published reports on the length of time BVDV can survive on fomites. In the current study, we applied a type 1b, non-cytopathic (NCP) BVDV isolate to clothing, materials common to livestock production settings, and various feedstuffs. Additionally, we created a synthetic mucus phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution and added BVDV to determine whether mucus impacted BVDV survival. Overall, the ability to recover BVDV after application to potential fomites decreased as the length of incubation increased. The BVDV strain tested in this study exhibited longer survival times in two aqueous solutions (water and PBS), two non-porous materials (latex and enameled metal), and one porous material (paper) than in other potential fomites. One non-porous material (galvanized metal) and two porous materials (soil and pine) tended to have a lower chance of BVDV recovery. No virus was recovered from denim, cotton t-shirt, mineral and salt blocks. For the total mixed ration, BVDV was recovered in one replicate, for up to eight hours post-application; however, all other replicates were negative. The molasses-urea lick in all three replicates was contaminated, therefore they were not tested. Based on these findings, a type 1b, NCP BVDV was capable of surviving after application to various materials used in livestock production. In the presence of mucus, BVDV was protected from degradation for longer periods of time.

 Tropidonotus striolatus Theobald, 1868: 55.—A replacement name for Tropidonotus tytleri Blyth, 1863.
Status. A replacement name for Tropidonotus tytleri Blyth, 1863. Synonymized with Tropidonotus quincunciatus by Theobald (1876: 175).
Comments. Because this taxon is a replacement name for Tropidonotus tytleri Blyth, 1863, it has the same name bearing type as that species (Fig. 12–13). In contrast to the statement made by Smith (1943: 293), the type of T. tytleri and T. striolatus is not lost; see above. Although Theobald (1868: 55) credited this species to Blyth, it is unclear to us why Theobald created a replacement name, basing his description on the same specimen as Blyth.

Simulations of Pregalactic Structure Formation with Radiative Feedback

description: We present results from three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the high redshift collapse of pregalactic clouds including feedback effects from a soft H2 photodissociating UV radiation field. The simulations use an Eulerian adaptive mesh refinement technique to follow the nonequilibrium chemistry of nine chemical species with cosmological initial conditions drawn from a popular Lambda-dominated cold dark matter model. The results confirm that the soft UV background can delay the cooling and collapse of small halos (~10^6 Msun). For reasonable values of the photo-dissociating flux, the H2 fraction is in equilibrium throughout most of the objects we simulate. We determine the mass threshold for collapse for a range of soft-UV fluxes and also derive a simple analytic expression. Continuing the simulations beyond the point of initial collapse demonstrates that the fraction of gas which can cool depends mostly on the virial mass of the halo and the amount of soft-UV flux, with remarkably little scatter. We parameterize this relation, for use in semi-analytic models.

description: This paper presents a program generator for fast software Viterbi decoders for arbitrary convolutional codes. The input to the generator is a specification of the code and a single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) vector length. The output is an optimized C implementation of the decoder that uses explicit Intel SSE vector instructions. At the heart of the generator is a small domain-specific language called VL to express the structure of the forward pass. Vectorization is done by rewriting VL expressions, which a compiler then translates into actual code in addition to performing further optimizations specific to the vector instruction set. Benchmarks show that the generated decoders match the performance of available expert hand-tuned implementations, while spanning the entire space of convolutional codes. An online interface to the generator is provided at www.spiral.net.

description: A total of 3,615 lightweight feeder steers were used to compare the effects of trivalent (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus and bovine viral diarrhea virus types 1 and 2) modified-live virus (MLV) vaccine products on performance, health, and carcass traits of cattle in a commercial feedlot setting. The three trivalent MLV vaccination products compared were Express? 3 (Boeh-ringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., St. Joseph MO), Bovi-Shield GOLD? IBR-BVD (Pfizer Animal Health, New York, NY), and Vista? 3 SQ (Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health, Summit, NJ). No differences (P?0.30) in feed conversion, final weight, or gain performance were detected among vaccination treatments. The percentage of BRD morbidity was similar (P=0.15) among treatments, averaging 12.3% overall. Furthermore, no vaccine treatment differences (P?0.36) were observed for relapse percentage, mortality or railer incidence, regardless of cause. All cattle used in the study were tested for persistent infection (PI) with BVDV, and the prevalence of cattle testing positive for PI-BVDV was similar (P=0.56) among the vaccine treatments and averaged 0.27% overall. Cattle which tested positive for PI-BVDV were not removed from the study pens, and after data were pooled, health and performance did not differ for pens with or without a PI-BVDV pen mate. When utilizing lightweight feeder steers with relatively low BRD-associated morbidity and mortality, there was no difference in performance, health, and carcass trait observations among the three trivalent MLV vaccine products evaluated.

description: Gabai showed that the Whitehead manifold is the union of two submanifolds each of which is homeomorphic to $\mathbb R^3$ and whose intersection is again homeomorphic to $\mathbb R^3$. Using a family of generalizations of the Whitehead Link, we show that there are uncountably many contractible 3-manifolds with this double 3-space property. Using a separate family of generalizations of the Whitehead Link and using an extension of interlacing theory, we also show that there are uncountably many contractible 3-manifolds that fail to have this property.

description: The objectives of this study were to determine the accuracy of the PortaBHBTM milk strip for detection of hyperketonemia in early lactation cows, and to compare the agreement of results from quarter and composite samples. A total of 577 Holstein cows of all parities, from 88 commercial herds, were sampled once during this study. Cows were sampled simultaneously for blood and milk between one and 60 days-in-milk. Blood samples were collected from coccygeal vessels, and were analyzed on-farm using an electronic ?-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) hand-held meter. Milk samples were collected from one quarter (n=577), as well as from four quarters (composite; n=299). All milk samples were tested using PortaBHBTM milk strips (0, 50, 100, 200, and 500 æmol/L). Blood BHBA concentration was considered to be the gold standard, with hyperketonemia denned as a blood BHBA concentration ?1400 æmol/L. With this cut-point, the true prevalence of hyperketonemia in the study population was 24.6%. Using a threshold of 100 æmol/L, sensitivity and specificity of PortaBHBTM milk strips was 89.2% and 79.6%, respectively. Using a threshold of 200 æmol/L, sensitivity and specificity of PortaBHBTM milk strips was 40.3% and 99.5%, respectively. The kappa coefficient for agreement between milk results from quarter and composite samples, using a threshold of 100 æmol/L, was 0.95. Study results suggest that PortaBHBTM has good accuracy, and that there is no benefit to collect milk samples from four quarters compared with sampling one quarter.

Dilaton-derived quintessence scenario leading naturally to the late-time acceleration of the Universe

Year: 2000

description: Quintessence scenarios provide a simple explanation for the observed acceleration of the Universe. Yet, explaining why acceleration did not start a long time ago remains a challenge. The idea that the transition from radiation to matter domination played a dynamical role in triggering acceleration has been put forward in various guises. We propose a simple dilaton-derived quintessence model in which temporary vacuum domination is naturally triggered by the radiation to matter transition. In this model Einstein's gravity is preserved but quintessence couples non-minimally to the cold dark matter, but not to ``visible'' matter. Such couplings have been attributed to the dilaton in the low-energy limit of string theory beyond tree level. We also show how a cosmological constant in the string frame translates into a quintessence-type of potential in the atomic frame.

description: The purpose of the final qualifying work is to design and analyze bicycle frames to ensure their strength, reliability and efficiency. Tasks that were solved during the work: 1. Designing a bicycle frame with fork. 2. Static calculation. 3. Calculation for lateral bending of the frame. 4. Calculation of Â«falling massÂ». The work involved modeling a frame with a fork in SolidWorks software. The material specified for the frame was aluminum, and the fork was steel. In calculating the impact of a falling mass, a separate calculation was performed, including density determination and material selection, as well as determination of the fall time to obtain accurate results. As a result of the calculations, zones with increased stresses were identified, and assumptions were made about the possible causes of their occurrence.

Evaluation of viral shedding and immune response following vaccination with a modified live BHV1 vaccine
Creators: name: Roth, James A.

Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1998

description: The purpose of the study was to monitor Bovine Herpesvirus-1 (BHV1) shedding to susceptible herdmates after vaccination with a modified live BHV1 vaccine and to monitor the development of the cell-mediated immune response to BHV1 (as measured by antigen specific lymphocyte blastogenesis). Ten calves received a modified live virus (MLV) vaccine containing BHV1, bovine viral diarrhea virus, parainfluenza 3 virus and bovine respiratory syncytial virus. Five calves that were seronegative for BHV1 served as contact controls. Multiple attempts to isolate BHV1 from nasal swabs and buffy coat cells from vaccinates and control animals between days 0 and 21 were all negative. By six days post-vaccination five out of ten vaccinated calves had a detectable post-vaccination lymphocyte blastogenic response to BHV1 antigen. The response continued to increase until at least 28 days after vaccination, at which time all ten calves exhibited a detectable response. None of the contact control animals developed an antibody or lymphocyte blastogenic response to BHV1 antigens. These results indicate that the MLV-BHV1vaccine used in this study induced an early and strong cell-mediated immune response as measured by lymphocyte blastogenic responsiveness to BHV1 antigens and the vaccine virus was not shed to susceptible herdmates.

description: A traditional camera requires the photographer to select the many parameters at capture time. While advances in light field photography have enabled post-capture control of focus and perspective, they suffer from several limitations including lower spatial resolution, need for hardware modifications, and restrictive choice of aperture and focus setting. In this paper, we propose "compressive epsilon photography," a technique for achieving complete post-capture control of focus and aperture in a traditional camera by acquiring a carefully selected set of 8 to 16 images and computationally reconstructing images corresponding to all other focus-aperture settings. We make the following contributions: first, we learn the statistical redundancies in focal-aperture stacks using a Gaussian Mixture Model; second, we derive a greedy sampling strategy for selecting the best focus-aperture settings; and third, we develop an algorithm for reconstructing the entire focal-aperture stack from a few captured images. As a consequence, only a burst of images with carefully selected camera settings are acquired. Post-capture, the user can then select any focal-aperture setting of choice and the corresponding image can be rendered using our algorithm. We show extensive results on several real data sets.

description: Nursing crossbred calves on range were assigned to 6 groups. Five of these groups were vaccinated with different commercially available Pasteurella haemolytica A1 (PHA1) vaccines. Calves in group 6 were not vaccinated and served as controls. At 83 and 97 days postvaccination the protection of 5 calves from each group was challenged by transthoracic inoculation of live, highly pathogenic PHA1. Based on survival of challenged calves and lung lesion size there were significant differences in protection compared to controls in one or more comparisons of LeukoTox M,LeukoTox 1and Presponse HM. Overall, vaccination with two of the bacterin-toxoids, LeukoTox Mand LeukoTox 1 (American Animal Health),resulted in 70 percentage point reductions in mortality. Reduction in mortality from Presponse HM (American Home) was 40 percentage points; from OneShot (Pfizer), 30 percentage points. Once PMH (Bayer) did not protect. Lung lesions were significantly smaller in calves vaccinated with LeukoTox M, LeukoTox 1 and Presponse HM compared to controls. In general, lung lesion size paralleled mortality in protection tests. Antibody titers measured by cell-associated agglutination tests and cytotoxin neutralization assays were not strongly indicative of protection suggesting that other immune mechanisms also are involved in duration of immunity.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αποτελεί σχολιασμό των διερμηνειών που πραγματοποιήθηκαν στο πλαίσιο της πρακτικής άσκησης που προβλέπεται στο Διατμηματικό Μεταπτυχιακό Πρόγραμμα Σπουδών Διερμηνείας και Μετάφρασης, Ειδίκευση Διερμηνείας, του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης κατά το χρονικό διάστημα από τον Μάρτιο του 2023 έως τον Ιούνιο του 2023 σε διαφορετικούς φορείς και επαγγελματίες. Ο κύριος κορμός της εργασίας αποτελείται από δύο μέρη. Στο πρώτο μέρος έγινε σχολιασμός της Νομικής Διερμηνείας και στο δεύτερο μέρος σχολιασμός των υπόλοιπων ειδών διερμηνείας. Η διάκριση αυτή έγινε με σκοπό να καταδειχθούν οι ιδιαιτερότητες και οι διαφορές της Νομικής Διερμηνείας σε σχέση με τα υπόλοιπα είδη Διερμηνείας. Βασικό χαρακτηριστικό που διακρίνει τη Νομική Διερμηνεία από τα άλλα είδη Διερμηνείας, είναι ότι στη Νομική Διερμηνεία ο ρόλος του Διερμηνέα έχει καταλυτική σημασία. Και αυτό αφενός γιατί η παρουσία του είναι απαραίτητο στοιχείο νομιμότητάς και εγκυρότητας κάθε νομικής διαδικασίας στην περίπτωση που ένας από τους συμμετέχοντες δεν κατανοεί τη γλώσσα της διαδικασίας, και αφετέρου γιατί στο πλαίσιο απονομής της Δικαιοσύνης διασφαλίζει το θεμελιώδες δικαίωμα του κατηγορουμένου σε μια δίκαιη δίκη.
description: The present dissertation is a commentary on the interpreting that took place in the context of the internship provided by the Joint Postgraduate Studies Programme (J.P.P.S.) “Conference Interpreting and Translation”, Specialisation in Conference Interpreting, at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki during the period from March 2023 to June 2023 in different institutions and professionals. The main part of the dissertation consists of two parts. In the first part there is a commentary on Legal Interpreting and in the second part a commentary on the other types of interpreting. This distinction was made in order to demonstrate the particularities and differences between Legal interpreting and other types of interpreting. A key feature that distinguishes Legal Interpreting from other types of interpreting is that in Legal Interpreting the role of the interpreter is of vital importance. This is because, on the one hand, its presence is an essential element of the legitimacy and validity of any legal proceedings in case one of the participants does not understand the language of the proceedings and, on the other hand, in the context of the administration of justice, it ensures the fundamental right of the defendant to a fair trial.

description: The gyrokinetic stability of electron-positron plasmas contaminated by ion (proton) admixture is studied in slab geometry. The appropriate dispersion relation is derived and solved. The ion-temperature-gradient driven instability, the electron-temperature-gradient driven instability, the universal mode, and the shear Alfven wave are considered. The contaminated plasma remains stable if the contamination degree is below some threshold, and it is found that the shear Alfven wave can be present in a contaminated plasma in cases where it is absent without ion contamination.

description: Hubble Space Telescope images of the galaxies NGC 2207 and IC 2163 show star formation and dust structures in a system that has experienced a recent grazing encounter. Tidal forces from NGC 2207 compressed and elongated the disk of IC 2163, forming an oval ridge of star formation. Gas flowing away from this ridge has thin parallel dust filaments transverse to the direction of motion. Numerical models suggest that the filaments come from flocculent spiral arms that were present before the interaction. A dust lane at the outer edge of the tidal tail is a shock front where the flow abruptly changes direction. A spiral arm of NGC 2207 that is backlit by IC 2163 is seen to contain several parallel, knotty filaments that are probably shock fronts in a density wave. Blue clusters of star formation inside these dust lanes show density wave triggering by local gravitational collapse. Spiral arms inside the oval of IC 2163 could be the result of ILR-related orbits in the tidal potential that formed the oval. Their presence suggests that tidal forces alone may initiate a temporary nuclear gas flow and eventual starburst without first forming a stellar bar. Several emission structures resembling jets 100-1000 pc long appear. There is a dense dark cloud with a conical shape 400 pc long and a bright compact cluster at the tip, and with a conical emission nebula of the same length that points away from the cluster in the other direction. This region coincides with a non-thermal radio continuum source that is 1000 times the luminosity of Cas A at 20 cm.

description: The Internet is a loosely organized and as yet unregulated network of computers. It stretches across the entire world, knowing no political or geographic boundaries. The physical connections are usually high speed, dedicated telephone lines. They may be old-fashioned copper wires, modern fiber optics, microwave or even satellite lines. There is much redundancy in the connections and the routing of information occurs almost randomly. A computer in Minneapolis may connect to one in California by way of Denver one day and Washington, D. C. the next. No one person or even organization knows exactly how the Internet works. Local system administrators know how their own part of the network operates and what other remote systems they are connected to.

Prevention of bloat in pastured cattle using monensin sodium controlled release capsules (CRC)
Creators: name: Lowe, L. B.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1998

description: Bloat in cattle grazing legume pastures can depress production and cause death. Development of controlled release capsules (CRC) containing monensin for prevention of bloat is described. Early studies were based on CRC devices delivered 170 mg monensin/day in beef cattle. Significant live weight gains and reduction in both bloat and death were found. In dairy cows, devices which delivered 300 mg monensin/day reduced bloat and increased milk and protein yields. Inclusion of silicone glycol in the monensin CRC showed some benefits both in vitro and in vivo although a study on highly bloat susceptible dairy cows failed to show a difference.

Alleviated nutrient imbalance by monensin premix (Romensin?, Rumensin?); reduced risk of ketonaemia in dairy cows

description: In a European series of studies, the effects of administering monensin premix (Romensin®, Rumensin®) to dairy cows via the feed were examined. A total of 365 cows received either 0 or 300 mg monensin per cow per day from approximately one month post calving onwards. Blood samples were examined for ketone levels (beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate). Cows were categorized for ketonaemia risk by using their average ketone levels for up to five months of treatment. Mean ketone levels of or below 1.0 mmol/1 were considered to indicate normal values. Cows with normal ketone values were categorized into three groups: low normal (≤.50 mmol/1), medium normal (>0.50 to ≤0. 75 mmol/1) and high normal (>0. 75 to ≤1.00 mmol/1). Ketone levels above 1.00 mmol/1 were considered to indicate a ketonaemic condition. Cows treated with monensin were approximately twice as likely to occur in the lowest normal risk category and were approximately half as likely to occur in the highest normal category than control animals. Five percent of the control cows were found in the ketonaemic condition category versus one percent of cows which had received monensin. The difference between the two groups was significant (p<0.001). These findings were most likely caused by the effects of monensin on rumen fermentation, increasing the production of propionic acid and increasing the supply of glucogenic nutrients derived from the ration. In these studies, monensin apparently alleviated nutrient imbalance and reduced the risk of ketonaemia in dairy cows during early lactation.
