Equality Claims and Population Control
Creators: name: Spade, Dean
Publisher: name: feminists@law
Year: 2011

description: Critical Race Theory generally and intersectionality theory in particular have provided scholars and activists with clear accounts of how the legal approaches to oppression that have been taken up through the anti-discrimination principle have failed to sufficiently change conditions for those facing the most violent manifestations of settler colonialism, heteropatriarchy, white supremacy, ableism, and xenophobia. These interventions have exposed how the discrimination principle's reliance on individual harm, intentionality, and universalized categories of identity has made it ineffective at eradicating these forms of harm and violence and has obscured the actual operations of systems of meaning and control that produce maldistribution and targeted violence. This paper follows this line of thinking an additional step to focus on the racialized-gendered distribution schemes that operate at the population level through programs that declare themselves race and gender neutral but are founded in the production and maintenance of race and gender categories as vectors for distributing life chances. In the context of intensifying criminal and immigration enforcement and wealth disparity, it is essential to turn our attention to what Foucault called "state racism"--the operation of population-level programs that target some for increased security and life chances while marking others for insecurity and premature death. This paper looks at how social movements resisting intersectional state violence are formulating demands (like prison abolition and an end to immigration enforcement) that exceed the narrow confines of the discrimination principle and take administrative systems as adversaries in ways that pull the nation-state form itself into crisis.

description: Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a common metabolic disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Elevated blood glucose levels in type II DM is associated with altered sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity and enhanced noradrenaline (NA). Persistent NA release, in turn, leads to alterations in beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) density and downstream signalling. A common complication of diabetes is cardiovascular disease. In this project, myocardial betaAR density was evaluated in hyperglycaemic streptozotocin (STZ)-treated rats fed high fat diet (HFD), using betaAR antagonist (S)-[3H]CGP12177. At 30 minutes post injection, the radiotracer exhibited specific binding in myocardial regions, brown adipose tissue and kidney, and was capable of measuring reduced binding to betaARs. A subset of HFD moderate-STZ treated rats became hyperglycaemia, whereas the remainder maintained euglycaemia. At 10 days post-STZ, no alteration was observed in tracer binding in either sub-group. At 56 days, hyperglycaemic rats displayed a significant reduction in specific binding to betaARs in myocardial regions (30-40%), while no alteration was observed in euglycaemics or controls. This finding suggests a strong association between sustained hyperglycaemia and alterations in SNS activity and PAR binding.
Introduction to the Lecture Series

Publisher: name: feminists@law
Year: 2012

description: feminists@law is pleased to launch the first in a series of online guest lectures that trace the (dis)continuities between the debate on immaterial labour and value which originated in Italy in the 1970s and the current debate on precarity/precariousness which has more recently emerged as a central concern of transnational feminist scholarship and activism (see 2007 special issue of Feminist Review). Reflecting on this intellectual/political trajectory acquires particular relevance today, with the crisis of social reproduction advancing in Europe as elsewhere. We hope that this series will generate further discussion in this journal and beyond.

Swedish Gender Equality for Trafficked Women? Radical Official Remedies and Ethnic Otherness
Creators: name: Yttergren, Asa
Publisher: name: feminists@law
Year: 2012

description: The article provides an overview of the official Swedish attitude towards trafficking in persons for sexual purposes, places this view in an international context, and also critically analyzes problems that arise when the Swedish objective of establishing gender equality both nationally and internationally is confronted with the issue of women who have been trafficked to Sweden. The analysis covers the standpoint of the Swedish parliament expressed through legislation and other official documents regarding both criminal and migration law. It demonstrates that the Swedish position regarding trafficking is closely bound up with its understanding of prostitution which is conceptualized as an extreme expression of gender inequality. It moves beyond the polarized international positions of abolishing prostitution or normalizing it by addressing men’s demand for paid sex by the criminalization of the purchasing of sexual services, since demand for paid sex is regarded as the basis of both prostitution and trafficking. The main conclusion is that the aspiration for gender equality seems first to include Swedes in the Swedish context and secondly other ethnicities within their own native countries. In contrast, women trafficked to Sweden are constructed as “others” who do not fit into either of these categories. The emphasis in the context of women trafficked to Sweden is on combating transnational, organized crime, and in consequence gender equality is no longer a priority: the situation of these women perceived as non-Swedes or ethnically ‘other’ is therefore regarded as some other state’s problem.

subject: Sociology, Criminology and Penology.

description: As the population ages, the number of older adults who are involved in the criminal justice system is increasing. While their experiences in prisons have been explored, older women's lives in their communities have yet to be studied. This thesis examines the reintegration experiences of older female ex-prisoners living in Ottawa through the perspectives of the professionals who assist them in their reintegrations. Using standpoint theory, I conducted semi-structured interviews with a variety of professionals who described their experiences working with older reintegrating women for non-governmental community organizations in Ottawa. Participants examined various aspects of the reintegration experience, including the communities in which older women live; their health; the social networks surrounding older women; roadblocks which create difficulties during reintegration; and what older women require in order to reintegrate successfully. Through participants' accounts, I describe the challenges and opportunities older reintegrating women face and explore what can be done to ensure that they have the best possible reintegration experiences.

description: We study inductive bias in Transformers in the infinitely over-parameterized Gaussian process limit and argue transformers tend to be biased towards more permutation symmetric functions in sequence space. We show that the representation theory of the symmetric group can be used to give quantitative analytical predictions when the dataset is symmetric to permutations between tokens. We present a simplified transformer block and solve the model at the limit, including accurate predictions for the learning curves and network outputs. We show that in common setups, one can derive tight bounds in the form of a scaling law for the learnability as a function of the context length. Finally, we argue WikiText dataset, does indeed possess a degree of permutation symmetry.

Lamin AC and sumoylation: Implications of laminopathic mutant lamin AC expression on the dynamics of sumo1
Creators: name: Boudreau, Emilie
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: Laminopathies are a collection of over ten distinct and overlapping disease phenotypes resulting from over 340 known mutations in the LMNA gene. This gene encodes the alternatively spliced nuclear intermediate filament proteins, lamins A and C, that localize to the nuclear envelope and the nucleoplasm. These proteins are part of the nuclear lamina which is a complex meshwork of over 80 proteins underlying the inner nuclear membrane. Lamins have proposed roles in nuclear structural support and in multiple cell processes that include gene regulation, chromatin organization, and protein localization/scaffolding. Previous research has shown that in vitro expression of a laminopathic mutant lamin C resulted in nuclear aggregation of lamin C and subsequently sequestration of a co-expressed post-translational modification protein, sumo1. Sumoylation is the attachment of the s&barbelow;mall u&barbelow;biquitin-like modifier 1&barbelow; (sumo1) to a target lysine(s) on substrate proteins which serves to regulate various protein characteristics such as transcriptional activity, localization, protein interaction, and stability. In this thesis, I investigated the sumolyation of lamin NC and the effect of laminopathic mutant lamin NC on sumoylation and sumo1 localization. It was demonstrated that although not modified by sumo1, mutant lamin NC elicits a mutation-dependent alteration of sumo1 localization in vitro in cultured mouse myoblasts overexpressing lamin NC and primary mouse myoblasts expressing endogenous mutant lamins, as well as in vivo in affected muscle tissue from a laminopathy knock-in mouse model. Furthermore, in cultured myoblasts, this correlated with a mutation-dependent significant increase in the steady-state level of protein sumoylation by sumo1. Taken together, these results suggest that the alteration of sumo1 localization and sumoylation may be contributing factors in the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the development of laminopathies.

description: The continuous quest for better and more efficient tools for CADD, calls for methods that are able to provide predictive results in limited time and computational resources. In this context, I will present a few Molecular Dynamics based approaches that try to extract useful practical information from MD simulations with relatively simple and trivially parallel protocols. In particular, I will focus on: i) the application of Scaled-MD for the ranking of congeneric ligands based on residence time; ii) a specific bias accelerating the dynamical docking of a ligand into the target binding site, and, iii) a tool for the automated analysis of pocket dynamics along a MD trajectory.

Border sampling techniques in Machine Learning

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Border identification (BI), which is regarded as a sample selection technique in Machine Learning, was previously proposed to help learning systems focus on the most relevant portion of the training set so as to improve learning accuracy. However, the traditional BI implementation suffers from a serious limitation: it is only able to identify partial borders. We first propose a new method called Border Identification in Two Stages, denoted as BI 2, to overcome this limitation by identifying a full border. Based on BI2, we develop a new sample selection method, called Border Sampling, for supervised learning tasks. This is achieved by adopting the Progressive Learning technique for augmenting borders, and by incorporating BI2 with the Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique for scaling up Border Sampling on large datasets, and by assuming a novel geometric computation for improving the algorithmic convergence. Further, we propose a novel Meta learning technique, called Cascading Customized Couple, for scaling up Bayes classifiers such as Naive Bayes by assuming a domain separation strategy, which is regarded as a wrapped sample selection method while Border Sampling is shown as a filter sample selection method in the thesis. Empirical results show that, first, Border Sampling (BS) is an efficient and effective sample selection technique for training common classifiers such as Naive Bayes (NB), Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Instance-based Learning (IBL), as compared with previously proposed sample selection techniques such as Condensed Nearest Neighbour rule and Edited Nearest Neighbour rule; second, the new Meta learning technique Cascading Customized Couple (CCC) outperforms previously proposed Meta learning techniques such as Bagging, AdaBoost, and MultiBoostAB for boosting Naive Bayes. We also apply our new techniques to a scientific application for explosion detection by building an optimal classification model.

Gender and small-scale fisheries : a case for counting women and beyond

description: Marine ecosystem scale fisheries research and management must include the fishing effort of women and men. Even with growing recognition that women do fish, there remains an imperative to engage in more meaningful and relevant gender analysis to improve socio-ecological approaches to fisheries research and management. The implications of a gender approach to fisheries have been explored in social approaches to fisheries, but the relevance of gender analysis for ecological understandings has yet to be fully elaborated. To examine the importance of gender to the understanding of marine ecology we identified 106 case studies of small-scale fisheries from the last 20 years that detail the participation of women in fishing (data on women fishers being the most common limiting factor to gender analysis). We found that beyond gender difference in fishing practices throughout the world, the literature reveals a quantitative data gap in the characterization of gender in small-scale fisheries. The descriptive details of women’s often distinct fishing practices none-the-less provide important ecological information with implications for understanding the human role in marine ecosystems. Finally, we examined why the data gap on women’s fishing practices has persisted, detailing several ways in which commonly used research methods may perpetuate biased sampling that overlooks women’s fishing. This review sheds light on a new aspect of the application of gender research to fisheries research, with an emphasis on ecological understanding within a broader context of interdisciplinary approaches.

Towards a Process-Based Characterization of Syllable Effects in Visual Word Recognition
Creators: name: Thompson, Glenn L
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Language, Linguistics.
subject: Psychology, Cognitive.

description: Existing evidence on the role of the syllable in visual word recognition is insufficient to inform the extention of models of single-syllable word reading to the more general case of multi-syllable words. Open questions include what syllable units are relevant (e.g., Max Onset, Max Coda), when and why are they relevant, and for whom? A common paradigm for addressing this issue is the word-splitting manipulation in visual lexical decision, where a visual boundary is introduced within words; this boundary is either consistent or inconsistent with that specified by a theoretical syllable unit. If an advantage is observed for the consistent condition, then a 'syllable effect' has been obtained. Recent work has focused on identifying variables that moderate the effect of such word-splitting manipulations in an attempt to explain the empirical inconsistency in this literature (Chen & Vaid, 2007; Taft, 2001, 2002). This line of enquiry was pursued in two studies employing the word-splitting paradigm in lexical decision. The first study reports a series of three experiments (N=48 x 3) where a combination of random coefficient analysis and multi-level modeling was used to examine the joint contribution of syllabic complexity, lexical frequency, and the tendency of participants to rely on phonology. The results indicate that participants who are most sensitive to homophone interference tend to prefer the 'phonological' Max Onset syllable with low-frequency words, situating the locus of this effect in lexical phonology. A follow-up study (N=122) using the same analytical technique with a broad set of indicators provides some corroboration of this effect, and additional information suggesting that apparent patterns of syllable preference arise from multiple causes, some of which depend on Print Exposure and/or participant response speed. The results highlight the need to disentangle response speed from other participant characteristics in predicting syllable preference.

description: Preconditioning to lowered oxygen levels (hypoxia) may occur when an animal is subjected to non-lethal levels of hypoxia and then returned to normoxic conditions. During a subsequent exposure to hypoxia, the pre-exposed animals may exhibit increased tolerance compared to naive animals. I have demonstrated, by analysis of critical PO2's (Pcrit), that zebrafish embryos can be preconditioned to hypoxia. Preconditioned embryos display a lower Pcrit than controls, indicating a heightened ability to endure hypoxic conditions. The role of the hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) in promoting hypoxic preconditioning was examined. To determine the role of HIF-1 in preconditioning, embryos deficient in HIF-1alpha (using antisense oligonucleotide morpholinos) were assessed under hypoxic conditions. No significant difference between preconditioning capacities of control- and HIF-1alpha deficient embryos was observed. In addition to assessing Pcrit, a suite of hypoxia responsive genes were analysed by real time PCR. IGFBP-2 showed a significant decrease in expression in the HIF-1alpha deficient embryos, and EPO showed a significant increase in HIF-1alpha deficient embryos. All other genes examined showed no significant change between treated and control embryos.
Double talk detection using a psychoacoustic auditory model

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Successful adaptive echo cancellation in telecommunications depends on a control device called a double talk detector. Double talk refers to the situation that signals at both ends of a communication link are simultaneously active. In the presence of a double talk situation, the role of a double talk detector is to assure convergence and to prevent divergence of the adaptive filter in an echo cancellation system. Following a thorough study of the subject matter, this thesis presents a double talk detection algorithm for a single-channel echo cancellation application using a psychoacoustic auditory model. The model exploits the frequency masking properties of the human auditory system. It performs an analysis of the far-end signal to compute a perceptual threshold, and then removes spectral components below the perceptual threshold to create spectral holes without affecting the perceptual quality of the signal. Double talk conditions are detected by monitoring the spectral levels at the created holes in the near-end input signal. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, results of simulations with real speeches and performance comparisons with certain other double talk detection algorithms are presented. It is shown with simulation results and analysis that the proposed algorithm outperforms those algorithms in overall.

description: Objectives. Investigate, describe and evaluate HBV and HCV cases with known and unknown risk factors and propose modifications to the Enhanced Surveillance questionnaire based on the results of an exploratory study. Design. (1) Enhanced Surveillance database analysis; (2) Exploratory Study of hepatitis patients with unknown risk factors (URF) at the Ottawa site. Methods. Demographic and epidemiologic data analysis of HBV/HCV cases. Telephone interview with cases having unknown risk factors, using an open-ended questionnaire. Results. Medical/health care acquired, sexual transmission, healthcare and other work related and other recognised and potential new risk factors for contracting HBV/HCV were revealed. Some of the cases with URF could have been identified at the Enhanced Surveillance. Conclusions. The open-ended questions from the Exploratory Study should be incorporated into the Enhanced Surveillance questionnaire. The newly identified potential risk factors deserve further assessment through analytical studies.
Bovine Virus Diarrhea (BVD) Vaccination

description: Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) was first reported in 1946, or approximately 30 years ago, yet there is still confusion and lack of understanding of this disease. It is difficult to find general agreement on any part of this disease entity from vaccination to titer. Despite the confusion, most people have definite opinions about the disease, including the use of vaccine. The majority of feedlot cattle in southwestern Kansas receive an intramuscular inoculation of BVD vaccine when they enter feedlots . Recently, some oral BVD vaccine has been used. This trial was to compare oral and intramuscular BVD vaccine in stressed calves. Rate of gain, feed consumption, and feed efficiency were not influenced by BVD vaccine administration (Table 1). This was an anticipated response, as initial BVD titers indicated calves had not been previously exposed to BVD. BVD vaccine administered orally did not increase titers at 42 days after inoculation. But when it was administered intramuscularly, five steers had BVD titers exceeding 1 :4. Sickness was held to a minimum and no calves died.

description: In privacy protection the interests of consumers and businesses can be opposite and conflicting. For consumers, it is important to achieve the highest degree of protection while maintaining usage convenience. For businesses it is important to maximize the potential return from usage of personal information and at the same time to avoid possible legal consequences in connection with improper handling of personal information. This thesis defines an architectural framework which provides users control over their personal information and the manner in which it can he used by businesses, as well as an ability to verify the accuracy of that information and to audit the manner in which it is used by businesses. However, it does so in a framework that enables efficient mechanisms for providing consent to businesses to enable fast and flexible access to information that businesses are allowed to use. The premise of the framework is that businesses form a circle of trust which is a business network of trusted entities cooperating in a B2B environment. A framework of laws, government regulation, self-policing activities of the members, and a technology infrastructure ensure that individuals will rely on the circle of trust to protect their personal information. The framework consists of a number of distributed components such as a Discovery Service, a Policy Decision Point, an Information Transfer Registry, an Attribute Provider and a Customer Gateway. A Customer Gateway is a key contribution of the thesis. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Over the last fifty years, researchers have taken an interest in the breathing of different musicians. Little is known on the breathing patterns of pianists, however. Two main studies on the subject determined that a variation in meter affects breathing rhythms and that breathing rate might be linked to tempo and musical gestures, but we do not know whether a relationship exists between pianists' respiratory cycles and the movements they make when playing, or between breathing and specific musical elements such as rhythm, meter, tempo or phrasing. Eight pianists played the C major scale, the C major arpeggio, a Hanon five-finger exercise, the Minuet in G major by Petzold, and Fur Elise by Beethoven on a Yamaha Disklavier. During their performances, respiration was monitored by an inductive plethysmography system (RIPmate Respiratory Effort System). Although the results were not consistent across participants, it was clear that for some pianists breathing and performing were related.

description: Feedlot stresses include a number of different things. When I think of feedlot stresses, mostly I think about myself and management, although that is not what we are going to talk about today. I will discuss dealing with government intervention in business. The stress of dealing with manpower utilization and so on certainly leads to severe stress in management. Today I'd like to spend a little time with you talking about digestive stress. It follows a little in line with what we're talking about so far. How do we start cattle on feed and how do we optimize productivity in these animals through the feeding period? Whenever I attempt to tackle a topic like this, I usually come up with more questions than answers and that holds true in this presentation today, too. I've gone back through and done a little bit of review of the literature. Coupled with this, we will see some data that we extracted in a survey from our packing house, looking at rumen wall conditions after feeding.

description: Recurrent blooms of harmful algae and cyanobacteria (HABs) plague many coastal and inland waters throughout the United States and have significant socioeconomic impacts to the adjacent communities. Notable HAB events in recent years continue to underscore the many remaining gaps in knowledge and increased needs for technological advances leading to early detection. This review summarizes the main research and management priorities that can be addressed through ocean observationbased approaches and technological solutions for harmful algal blooms, provides an update to the state of the technology to detect HAB events based on recent activities of the Alliance for Coastal Technologies (ACT), offers considerations for ensuring data quality, and highlights both ongoing challenges and opportunities for solutions in integrating HAB-focused technologies in research and management. Specifically, technological advances are discussed for remote sensing (both multispectral satellite and hyperspectral); deployable in situ detection of HAB species on fixed or mobile platforms (based on bulk or taxa-specific biomass, images, or molecular approaches); and field-based and/or rapid quantitative detection of HAB toxins (via molecular and analytical chemistry methods). Suggestions for addressing challenges to continued development and adoption of new technologies are summarized, based on a consensus-building workshop hosted by ACT, including dealing with the uncertainties in investment for HAB research, monitoring, and management. Challenges associated with choosing appropriate technologies for a given ecosystem and/or management concern are also addressed, and examples of programs that are leveraging and combining complementary approaches are highlighted.

A study of V(D)J recombination and DNA-damage response factors
Creators: name: Mensch, Kyna
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) represent a significant threat to genomic integrity, as failure to repair, or the incorrect repair of these lesions can lead to tumour formation and carcinogenesis. These breaks are not only caused by external factors, but are also generated within cells during regulated physiological processes, such as V(D)J recombination. This process is essential for lymphocyte development and involves the activity of factors involved in the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair pathway. A tri-partite study of V(D)J recombination and DNA damage response factors was conducted in order to gain insight into these overlapping pathways. The factors examined include Rag-1 (a component of the recombinase complex that initiates V(D)J recombination); Ku70 (a subunit of the Ku heterodimer involved in NHEJ and V(D)J recombination); Artemis (a nuclease involved in NHEJ and V(D)J recombination); and the Octamer-binding transcription factor-1 (which contributes to cellular survival post-DNA damage). The three facets of this study include (i) defining the Ku70 binding region of Rag-1 through the use of association assays, (ii) examining the regulation of ectopic Artemis expression in non-permissive cells, and (iii) identifying Oct-1 interacting factors with the use tandem affinity purification.
Haemophilus somnus in Feedlot Cattle
Creators: name: Herrick, John B.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1978

description: Haemophilus somnus has repeatedly been reported as an important part of the BRD complex, as well as being incriminated in a general septicemia manifesting itself in laminitis, pleuritis, vascular endothrombosis, enteritis and nephritis. The disease was first described by Colorado researchers in 1956 as infectious thromboembolic meningoencephalitis (TEME). This particular form of the disease is manifested not only in feedlot cattle but in dairy and beef herds. The research that occurred in the isolation and identification of H. somnus as a primary pathogen in cattle and the production of an effective immumzmg agent is considered one of the major breakthroughs in preventing the bovine respiratory disease complex.

Regulation of human parainfluenza virus type 3 fusion protein expression
Creators: name: Murphy, Lise
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Biology, Microbiology.

description: Human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3) is an enveloped, negative-strand, non-segmented RNA virus. HPIV3 is a human respiratory pathogen that primarily causes diseases such as croup, bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children. The virus has two glycoproteins that allow it to interact with host cells, the receptor binding protein hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and the fusion protein (F), which enables the virus to enter the cell by fusion of the viral envelope to the target cell plasma membrane. This research was initiated with the goal of determining mechanisms by which HPIV3 regulates the expression of the fusion protein. Evidence indicated that the transcription of the F gene differed from that of the other genes because there was a very high level of read-through transcription at the junction of the matrix (M) gene and the F gene. This read-through transcription caused >80% of the potential F gene transcripts to be present in biscistronic M/F mRNA, in which the F open reading frame cannot be translated.

Blood Chemistry Weaning Stress Study

Year: 1978

description: Shipping fever complex in the weaning calf is a paramount problem to the beef cattle industry. The highest incidence of disease and death loss is associated with weaning, transportation, handling, and ration adaptation. Most research has concentrated on the bacterial and viral aspects; however, some research has been done on the changes in physiological status of the animal as a result of stress. These changes are related to clinical signs, blood composition alterations, and adrenal gland changes (1). Perhaps the most constant indicator of stress has been the changes in the activity of the adrenal gland. The cortisol activities on the immune system in the weaned and trucked calf may play a major role in the susceptibility and subsequent disease in this calf. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of weaning stress on 10 blood serum components, hematology, and weight changes. As in the previous study, the most noticeable changes were in the cortisol level and weight change (1). Our general observation on this study and a similar study conducted two years ago is as follows: Animals weaned 4 weeks prior to trucking undergo a stress period lasting 3 to 7 days. Weaning alone stresses these animals for about the same period. Concurrent weaning and trucking increases the stress period to 15-21 days. These conclusions are based upon changes observed in the cortisol, LDM, SGOT, WBC and weight change. The majority of the shipping fever pneumonia occurs in the first 45 days following weaning, caused by the interaction of stresses, viruses, and bacteria (2,3). In this study, we were able to show that the weaning and trucking produced the most stress and failure to gain weight. The higher cortisol the first 7 days and not returning to normal for 15-21 days may suppress the immune system of the calf. An interesting follow-up of this study would be to evaluate the responses to a known antigen in each of these groups.
