Analysis of the Stability of Rumen pH Measurements Obtained Postmortem in Feeder Calves
Creators: name: Lee, T. L.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2010

description: The value of rumen pH readings postmortem as a diagnostic aid in feeder cattle has long been debated. Obtaining a rumen pH measurement as part of a routine postmortem examination has been described to help determine cause of death due to digestive system disorders such as acidosis. Some dispute the use of pH readings, arguing that rumen pH will continue to change after death, yielding inaccurate results. The goals of this study were to determine the difference in postmortem pH levels between cattle fed one of two diets, and to determine how stable postmortem pH is over a 24-hour period.

description: The importance of recruiting and retaining new food animal veterinarians is well known, and many groups are working on recruitment tools and programs. One of the recognized barriers to interest in food supply veterinary medicine is students' lack of experience and concomitant discomfort with food animal practice. Therefore, in 2008, we began offering an elective to first and second-year veterinary students, the Food Animal Production Tour, to provide students with little experience an opportunity to learn about large state-of-the-art food animal production units. We also wanted to provide students with demonstrated interest and more experience an opportunity to solidify and advance their career goals. The objective of this study was to assess the learning outcomes of the course by administering pre- and post-surveys of students' self-evaluation of learning as well as pre- and post-tests of knowledge of food animal production and veterinary roles.

description: We present a new method to locate the starting points in time of an arbitrary number of (damped) delayed signals. For a finite data sequence, the method permits to first locate the starting point of the component with the longest delay, and then --by iteration-- all the preceding ones. Numerical examples are given and noise sensitivity is tested for weak noise.

description: In an effort to challenge the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, Karl Popper proposed an experiment involving spatially separated entangled particles. In this experiment, one of the particles passes through a very narrow slit, and thereby its position becomes well-defined. This particle therefore diffracts into a large divergence angle; this effect can be understood as a consequence of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Popper further argued that its entangled partner would become comparably localized in position, and that, according to his understanding of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, the \qo{mere knowledge} of the position of this particle would cause it also to diffract into a large divergence angle. Popper recognized that such behaviour could violate the principle of causality in that the slit could be removed and the partner particle would be expected to respond instantaneously. Popper thus concluded that it was most likely the case that in an actual experiment the partner photon would not undergo increased diffractive spreading and thus that the Copenhagen interpretation is incorrect. Here, we report and analyze the results of an implementation of Popper's proposal. We find that the partner beam does not undergo increased diffractive spreading. Our work resolves many of the open questions involving Popper's proposal, and it provides further insight into the nature of entanglement and its relation to the uncertainty principle of correlated particles.

description: Calf survival is crucial to successful cow-calf operations. One major factor that impacts calf health and survival is the amount of difficulty experienced during the birthing process. Assisted calves are often born weak, which can interfere with normal neonatal behaviors such as ingesting colostrum, leading to failed transfer of passive immunity and increased morbidity and mortality before weaning. Few studies have quantified physiological indicators of trauma in calves assisted at birth, nor have the effects of trauma on passive immunity been thoroughly assessed. The objective of this study is to quantify the associations of calving ease, calf vigour, and birth L-lactate, with trauma biomarkers and passive immunity in newborn beef calves.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Small cod juveniles overlap geographically with capelin larvae in the Barents Sea and prey on capelin larvae during the summer. In order to estimate predation mortality rates from cod juveniles on capelin larvae based on stomach content data, it must be known how long capelin larvae can be recognised in the stomach of cod predators. A series of experiments was performed with different sizes of cod juveniles and capelin larvae at 6-7o C. In the first series, cod ranging in length from 31 to 49 mm were given either frozen yolk-sac larvae (ca. 7 mm in length) or larger larvae (10-22 mm). A second series was performed with larger cod juveniles ranging from 67 to 108 mm in length, fed with larger capelin larvae (15-26 mm). In a third series, cod ranging in length from 68 to 107 mm were fed herring larvae (26-35 mm). Each cod juvenile was fed one larvae. The probability of recognising capelin larvae in the stomach was modelled using a logistic regression model and a maximum likelihood estimation procedure. The best fit was obtained with a model with predator length, the prey/predator length ratio and prey length as explanatory variables. Average times for 50% recognition of larval prey were estimated to be about 50 and 80 min. for yolk-sac larvae and 14 mm long larvae eaten by 39 mm long cod, respectively. Average time for 50% recognition of 22 mm long larvae eaten by 86 mm long cod was about 72 minutes.

Microplasma generation by slow microwave in an electromagnetically induced transparency-like metasurface

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: Microplasma generation using microwaves in an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like metasurface composed of two types of radiatively coupled cut-wire resonators with slightly different resonance frequencies is investigated. Microplasma is generated in either of the gaps of the cut-wire resonators as a result of strong enhancement of the local electric field associated with resonance and slow microwave effect. The threshold microwave power for plasma ignition is found to reach a minimum at the EIT-like transmission peak frequency, where the group index is maximized. A pump-probe measurement of the metasurface reveals that the transmission properties can be significantly varied by varying the properties of the generated microplasma near the EIT-like transmission peak frequency and the resonance frequency. The electron density of the microplasma is roughly estimated to be of order $1\times 10^{10}\,\mathrm{cm}^{-3}$ for a pump power of $15.8\,\mathrm{W}$ by comparing the measured transmission spectrum for the probe wave with the numerically calculated spectrum. In the calculation, we assumed that the plasma is uniformly generated in the resonator gap, that the electron temperature is $2\,\mathrm{eV}$, and that the elastic scattering cross section is $20 \times 10^{-16}\,\mathrm{cm}^2$.

description: Bovine leukosis is a chronic lymphoproliferative disorder caused by bovine leukemia virus (BLV) that leads to economic losses in the beef and dairy industries. The USDA NAHMS Beef 1997 study estimated that 38% of cow-calf beef herds and 10.3% of individual adult cows in the US are BLV seropositive. Most BLV infected animals are asymptomatic carriers of the virus while a proportion of infected cattle develop lymphocytosis (30-40%) and lymphosarcoma (5-10%). The major route of virus transmission is iatrogenic through the transfer of blood from infected cattle. BLV proviral DNA has also been identified in nasal secretions, saliva, milk, colostrum, and semen, which could serve as potential sources for virus transmission. In the US, natural service accounts for 90% of the breeding in beef cow-calf operations. During natural breeding, minor genital tract trauma resulting from copulation may lead to blood transfer and transmission of BLV. Alternatively, BLV transmission may occur via transfer of infected secretions including semen and smegma during copulation. Little is known about the prevalence of BLV in breeding bulls and few studies have evaluated semen or smegma as a potential route of BLV transmission. The objectives of this study were to 1) determine the prevalence of BLV in breeding bulls presented for breeding soundness exams (BSE) at Michigan State University (MSU), 2) compare lymphocyte counts in BLV positive and negative bulls, and 3) evaluate the presence of BLV proviral DNA in bull smegma and semen.

description: Pulsators on and near the main sequence show period and amplitude changes that are too large to be the product of stellar evolution. The multiperiodic Delta Scuti stars are well suited to study these changes. This requires a very large amount of photometric data covering years and decades as well as mode identifications. We have examined over 800 nights of high-precision photometry of the multiperiodic pulsator 4 CVn obtained from 1966 through 2012. Because most of the data were obtained in adjacent observing seasons, it is possible to derive very accurate period values for a number of the excited pulsation modes and to study their systematic changes from 1974 to 2012. Most pulsation modes show systematic significant period and amplitude changes on a timescale of decades. For the well-studied modes, around 1986 a general reversal of the directions of both the positive and negative period changes occurred. Furthermore, the period changes between the different modes are strongly correlated, although they differ in size and sign. For the modes with known values of the spherical degree and azimuthal order, we find a correlation between the direction of the period changes and the identified azimuthal order, m. The associated amplitude changes generally have similar timescales of years or decades, but show little systematic or correlated behavior from mode to mode. A natural explanation for the opposite behavior of the prograde and retrograde modes is that their period changes are driven by a changing rotation profile. The changes in the rotation profile could in turn be driven by processes, perhaps the pulsations themselves, that redistribute angular momentum within the star. In general, different modes have different rotation kernels, so this will produce period shifts of varying magnitude for different modes.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The oceanic Barents Sea capelin spawns demersally in deeper waters along the Finnmark and Murman coasts in March and April. The spawning habitat contrasts that of many fjord populations – e.g. the Balsfjord capelin – which spawn intertidally on the beaches in April and May. Capelin eggs adhere to the substratum (coarse sand) and hatch after approximately 150 day-degrees. However, eggs which develop on the beaches are periodically exposed to air and extreme variations in both temperature and salinity. The abiotic challenges which meet the eggs of beach spawning capelin differ markedly from those spawned under relatively stable microclimatic conditions in deeper waters. In this study, we report on the abiotic in situ conditions which characterize the spawning beach of the Balsfjord capelin during an incubation period. Data provided from laboratory experiments show the effects of an extreme microclimate on the mortality and osmoregulatory capacity of eggs.

description: We present an in-depth study of two superflares (F1 and F2) detected on an active binary star CC Eridani by the Swift observatory. These superflares triggered the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) in the hard X-ray band on 2008 October 16 and 2012 February 24. The rise phases of both the flares were observed only with BAT, whereas the decay phases were observed simultaneously with the X-ray Telescope. It has been found that the flares decay faster in the hard X-ray band than in the soft X-ray band. Both flares F1 and F2 are highly energetic with respective peak X-ray luminosities of $\sim$$10^{32.2}$ and $\sim$$10^{31.8}$ erg s$^{-1}$ in 0.3--50 keV energy band, which are larger than any other flares previously observed on CC Eri. The time-resolved spectral analysis during the flares shows the variation in the coronal temperature, emission measure, and abundances. The elemental abundances are enhanced by a factor of $\sim$8 to the minimum observed in the post-flare phase for the flare F1. The observed peak temperatures in these two flares are found to be 174 MK and 128 MK. Using the hydrodynamic loop modeling, we derive loop lengths for both the flares as 1.2$\pm$0.1$\times$10$^{10}$ cm and 2.2$\pm$0.6$\times$10$^{10}$ cm, respectively. The Fe K$α$ emission at 6.4 keV is also detected in the X-ray spectra and we model the K$α$ emission feature as fluorescence from the hot flare source irradiating the photospheric iron. These superflares are the brightest, hottest, and shortest in duration observed thus far on CC Eri.

description: Despite increased efforts in preventing the occurrence of metabolic disorders in transition cows, hyperketonemia remains a frequent early lactation metabolic disease affecting an average of 40% of cows in herds in the US. Despite the demonstrated economic impact of this disorder there is a lack of controlled clinical trials comparing different treatment strategies in affected cows. The objective of our study was to investigate the effect of treatment with intravenous glucose, oral propylene glycol (PG), or a combination of both on the reduction in blood β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentrations of early lactation hyperketonemic dairy cows.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Consuming one’s own viable offspring is common among species that share the same distribution area for all their different life stages. The objective of this paper is to describe the role of mackerel as prey and as predator in the Cantabrian Sea (ICES Division VIIIc) during its spawning season. Mackerel is classified as a serial spawner as the female spawn several times during spawning season. The southern component of northeast Atlantic mackerel stock spawns between March and April. The information used in this paper are: diet composition from stomach content analyses, stage-specific production values derived from pelagic trawl hauls and ichthyoplankton surveys conducted on cruises in March and April from 2000 to 2003 . Temperature of the water column and abundance of juvenile and adult mackerel at each sampled station were also collected. The analysis of all these data allowed us to evaluate temporal changes in the predation process and their possible causes. These results are also discussed under the perspective of cannibalism’s role in the estimated mackerel recruitment.

description: We take advantage of the deep and wide coverage of the VST ATLAS survey to study the line-of-sight structure of the Sagittarius stellar stream in the Southern hemisphere, only ~40° away from the progenitor. We use photometrically selected Sub-Giant Branch (SGB) stars to reveal a complex debris morphology of the trailing arm and detect at least two clear peaks in the SGB distance modulus distribution. The separation between the two line-of-sight components is at least 5 kpc at the edge of the VST ATLAS footprint, but appears to change along the stream, which allows us to conclude that these detections correspond to two physically independent stellar structures, rather than a mix of co-distant stellar populations within a single stream. Our discovery of a fork in the Sgr trailing arm is verified using Blue Horizontal Branch stars and our distance measurements are calibrated using RR Lyrae stars from the Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey. Comparing with numerical simulations of the Sgr dwarf disruption, the more distant of the two components in the fork matches perfectly with the track of the trailing debris. However, no obvious counterpart exists in the simulation for the closer line-of-sight component.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Current assessment of the exploitation rates of wild Baltic salmon stocks is based on external tagging data. Tagging data of wild Baltic salmon is however limited and is geographically biased to two rivers located in the north-eastern rim of the Gulf of Bothnia. The current paper examines the use of genetic stock identification results within the probabilistic stock assessment of wild Baltic salmon stocks. Genetic stock identification results contain similar information as external tagging data. In combination with external tags, results from genetic mixed stock analyses (MSA) improve the estimation of the exploitation rate of wild Baltic salmon and the surviving wild spawner abundance by providing additional information and reducing the uncertainty of the estimates. The main uncertainties when using genetic stock proportion estimates stem from the uncertainty in the representativeness of the catch sample to be used for genetic stock proportion estimation to the total salmon catch of the different fisheries.

Calcium is involved in immune system activation, but whether supplemental Ca benefits immune-challenged cows remains unclear. Therefore, study objectives were to evaluate if providing an oral supplement containing soluble Ca, live yeast and other micronutrients would ameliorate LPS-induced hypocalcemia and production parameters in lactating dairy cows.

description: The objective of our study was to evaluate quarter versus composite milk sampling for detection of subclinical intramammary infections. Mastitis, infection and inflammation of the mammary gland, is the most costly disease facing the dairy industry today, with nearly two-thirds of the cost attributed to subclinical infections. Additionally, as the number one reason for antibiotic usage on farm, improvements must be made regarding the identification and treatment of this disease. Screening for subclinical mastitis has routinely been done using total milk somatic cell counts at the composite level, where milk from all four quarters is pooled into a single vial. This sampling technique is convenient and economical, however little research has been done on its efficacy in identifying subclinically infected animals as compared to quarter sampling.

However, surveys indicate that >80% of dry quarters yield negative culture results. Selective dry-cow therapy (SDCT) describes the identification and treatment of only cows/quarters infected or at high risk for infection. The purpose of this study was to determine if a data-driven algorithm, without the use of culture, could identify and selectively treat only "high risk" cows (those likely benefitting from DCT) without adverse effects on animal health and production outcomes.

Validity criteria for different simulation models are proposed. Consideration of armature acceleration under the pressure of detonation products is shown to be beneficial for accuracy of HFCG simulation. Control of HFCG temperature during simulation enables detecting critical points of system operation.

description: Most of ultraluminous X-ray sources are thought to be objects accreting above their Eddington limits. In the recently identified class of ultraluminous X-ray pulsars, accretor is a neutron star and thus has a fairly small mass with a small Eddington limit. The accretion disc structure around such an object affects important observables such as equilibrium period, period derivative and the size of the magnetosphere. We propose a model of a nearly-standard accretion disc interacting with the magnetosphere only in a thin layer near the inner disc rim. Our calculations show that the size of the magnetosphere may be represented as the classical Alfvén radius times a dimensionless factor $ξ$ which depends on the disc thickness only. In the case of radiation-pressure-dominated disc, the size of the magnetosphere does not depend on the mass accretion rate. In general, increasing the disc thickness leads to a larger magnetosphere size in units of the Alfvén radius. For large enough mass accretion rates and magnetic moments, it is important to take into account not only the pressure of the magnetic field and the radiation pressure inside the disc, but also the pressure of the radiation produced close to the surface of the neutron star in accretion column. The magnetospheric size may increase by up to factor of two as a result of the effects related to the disc thickness and the irradiation from the central source. Accounting for these effects reduces the estimate of the neutron star magnetic moment by a factor of several.

description: His struggle against missionary activities, which increased considerably in the mid-1990s and his resistance to the onslaught on Islam –which had traditionally been a source of strength to Muslim communities including a profound source of pride in their Islamic identity, and inspired renewed self-confidence- transformed Sheikh Ahmed Hussein Deedat into an important figure in both the East and West. In addition to this, the influence of his studies and commentaries in religious and scientific circles, some of which also attracted public interest, and his being subject to magazine articles, books, academic papers and dissertations, have earned him a scholarly reputation across the globe. This thesis has been composed based on the books written by Deedat; benefitted from careful study of arguments he propounded in his lectures and speeches, as well as debates he had with Western and Christian scholars, and at times has been enriched by third party sources. The study aims to develop consciousness about missionary activities and how one might effectively oppose them by establishing familiarity with creeds and the stories of their construction in Christian history and culture and to develop familiarity with the Tawheed (monotheistic faith) that is the foundation of all Semitic religions. The study has shed light on four topics that constitute the essence of Christian creeds and has revealed the obvious similarity in key issues in the books sent by God Almighty. In addition, Christian doctrines have been dealt with through the ideas put forward by Ahmed Deedat on fundamental issues of Christian theology, such as the Authenticity of the Bible, the concepts of Original Sin, Crucifixion and Trinity, with reference to the Biblical text mainly, supplemented in places by Qur'anic explanation. The four main issues addressed in the second section covers all the fundamental doctrines of Christianity. The study consists of an introduction, one chapter developing our research and one chapter devoted to findings, results, and conclusions. The first chapter focuses on Deedat's life and works. The second chapter is devoted to his views on Christian doctrines gathered under four main headings. The final chapter examines and offers further development of some conclusions preliminarily identified in topics covered in the chapters. Lastly, some research subjects that can be studied with regard to the religions in the field of Kalaam science have been proposed. This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and representative record of Deedat's views, as well as to give a general idea about Christianity and insight into its fundamental beliefs.

description: The hydrothermal liquefaction of municipal sludge was investigated under isothermal conditions (255 °C, 45 min) with TiO2 as a catalyst. In this study, we used two separation methods (an organic solvent-assisted extraction method and the Soxhlet extraction method) for the production of bio-crude oil. The maximum yield of bio-crude oil was 20.7 wt. % reported with the Soxhlet extraction method. The aqueous phase was examined for TN, TP, COD, and TOC to determine the suitability of this phase for microalgae cultivation. Four strains of oleaginous microalgae were cultivated in the aqueous phase. The results show that the growth of microalgae in the aqueous phase was lower compared to the control medium; this may be due to the high COD value. Microalgae and yeast co-cultivation increases biomass and lipid productivity using nutrients in the aqueous phase.
title: Changes in stock composition of annual Atlantic salmon catches in the Baltic Sea on basis of DNA-microsatellite data and Bayesian estimation

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.DNA level information, an 8-loci microsatellite baseline database of 26 Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) stocks, has been analysed using a Bayesian estimation method to estimate stock and stock group proportions of Finnish catches in the Baltic Sea area. The proportions of five stock groups important in terms of fisheries management were assessed in catch samples taken in three years (2000, 2002 and 2003). The catch samples were representative of Finnish fishery in the Gulf of Bothnia and Gulf of Finland. In the Gulf of Bothnia area, catches are composed of three major units: wild fish, Finnish hatchery fish and Swedish hatchery fish. Owing to decreasing amounts of hatchery fish, the proportion of wild fish shows a rising trend in catches from the Åland Sea, increasing from 43% to 76% in 2000-2003. In the eastern Gulf of Finland, the largest contribution was made by local hatchery fish, the Neva salmon, which is released by Finland, Russia and Estonia. Both wild and hatchery fish occurred in the northern Gulf of Bothnia in 2003, but not in 2002. In the western part of the Gulf of Finland, fish originating from the Main Basin made a substantial contribution. The threatened, eastern, Estonian wild stocks were recorded only in the western part of the Gulf, with a 4% proportion.

description: Chemical or enzymatic cross-linking of casein micelles (CMs) increases their stability against dissociating agents. In this paper, a comparative study of stability between native CMs and CMs cross-linked with genipin (CMs-GP) as a function of pH is described. Stability to temperature and ethanol were investigated in the pH range 2.0-7.0. The size and the charge ($ζ$-potential) of the particles were determined by dynamic light scattering. Native CMs precipitated below pH 5.5, CMs-GP precipitated from pH 3.5 to 4.5, whereas no precipitation was observed at pH 2.0-3.0 or pH 4.5-7.0. The isoelectric point of CMs-GP was determined to be pH 3.7. Highest stability against heat and ethanol was observed for CMs-GP at pH 2, where visible coagulation was determined only after 800 s at 140 $^\circ$C or 87.5% (v/v) of ethanol. These results confirmed the hypothesis that cross-linking by GP increased the stability of CMs.
