description: We consider the path integral associated to the Moyal formalism for quantum mechanics extended to contain higher differential forms by means of Grassmann odd fields. After revisiting some properties of the functional integral associated to the (super-extended) Moyal formalism, we give a convenient functional derivation of the BBGKY hierarchy in this framework. In this case the distribution functions depend also on the Grassmann odd fields.

The future of genetic alteration in food animal production

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2017

description: For centuries, animal breeders have intentionally selected the parents of the next generation based on their contended 'ideal' animal. The dramatic variation evidenced by the appearance and productivity of different breeds demonstrates the power of selective breeding. There are 4 variables that can be altered in breeding programs: 1) the accuracy of selection, 2] selection intensity, 3} the amount of genetic variation that is available among the selection candidates, and 4) the average age of the parents when their offspring are born. Any approach or technology that can improve 1 of these 4 components of the so-called "breeder's equation” can accelerate the rate of genetic gain. Animal breeders have routinely used both assisted reproductive technologies (e.g. artificial insemination) and advanced breeding methods (e.g. genomic selection) concurrently to accelerate genetic gains. Molecular methods to introduce useful genetic variation such as genetic engineering (GE) have met with regulatory obstacles and delay, and activist opposition. In 2017 the FDA issued a draft guidance proposing the regulation of all "intentional” genomic alterations as new animal drugs. There is a real possibility that this will preclude the development of beneficial GE and gene edited applications to the detriment of global food security and agricultural sustainability.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Some pelagic fish species undertake extensive feeding and spawning migrations covering distances of several hundred miles. We present a model of such migrations where the dynamics are governed by an advection-diffusion type equation with the advection being determined by environmental fields for temperature, food density and oceanic currents, in addition to a force field generated by an attracting spawning region. The model is motivated by the migrations of the capelin stock in the Central North- Atlantic. A simulation of the spawning migration of this stock is presented. We also discuss how the continuous migration model can be reduced to a simpler model based on transition or migration matrices.

description: Researchers have great flexibility in the analysis of observational data. If combined with selective reporting and pressure to publish, this flexibility can have devastating consequences on the validity of research findings. We extend the recently proposed vibration of effects approach to provide a framework comparing three main sources of uncertainty which lead to instability in observational associations, namely data pre-processing, model and sampling uncertainty. We analyze their behavior for varying sample sizes for two associations in personality psychology. While all types of vibration show a decrease for increasing sample sizes, data pre-processing and model vibration remain non-negligible, even for a sample of over 80000 participants. The increasing availability of large data sets that are not initially recorded for research purposes can make data pre-processing and model choices very influential. We therefore recommend the framework as a tool for the transparent reporting of the stability of research findings.

description: We investigate the dynamics for a two level atomic system entangled to coherent states using the recently developed mode invisibility technique. Using a quantum 2-level probe, we demonstrate a way to non-destructively measure a number of properties between a qubit entangled with a generalized CAT state, including the amplitude of the coherent state, the location and relative excitation of the qubit, and the von Neumann entropy. Our results indicate a connection between this last quantity and the interferometric phase shift of the probe, thereby suggesting a possible way to experimentally measure entanglement non-destructively.

description: Animal health recommendations are given daily to feedyard managers relating to all areas of cattle management, from vaccination and metaphylaxis to pregnant heifer management and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) PI testing. Research and reports on the costs and benefits of these various options are conducted on a somewhat routine basis. However, little data is available about what practices are being advised or implemented in the majority of feedlot settings. The objective of this survey was to observe which feedlot practices are being recommended by consulting veterinarians for the health and well-being of feedlot cattle.

description: We use temperature- and field-dependent resistivity measurements [Shubnikov--de Haas (SdH) quantum oscillations] and ultrahigh resolution, tunable, vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) laser-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to study the three-dimensionality (3D) of the bulk electronic structure in WTe2, a type-II Weyl semimetal. The bulk Fermi surface (FS) consists of two pairs of electron pockets and two pairs of hole pockets along the X-Gamma-X direction as detected by using an incident photon energy of 6.7 eV, which is consistent with the previously reported data. However, if using an incident photon energy of 6.36 eV, another pair of tiny electron pockets is detected on both sides of the Gamma point, which is in agreement with the small quantum oscillation frequency peak observed in the magnetoresistance. Therefore, the bulk, 3D FS consists of three pairs of electron pockets and two pairs of hole pockets in total. With the ability of fine tuning the incident photon energy, we demonstrate the strong three-dimensionality of the bulk electronic structure in WTe2. The combination of resistivity and ARPES measurements reveal the complete, and consistent, picture of the bulk electronic structure of this material.

description: Parasitism leads to decreased performance and quality of life in cattle. Producers often treat or prevent parasitism with a number of approved brand name and generic anthelmintics. Generic products generally have a cost advantage for beef producers when compared to trade-name products. Data comparing brand-name anthelmintic efficacy to that of generic in feedlot cattle are limited. Feedyards must balance efficacy and cost of administration when deciding between brand-name and generic anthelmintics. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of Vetrimec® pour-on and Ivomec® pour-on by utilizing the fecal egg reduction test in newly arrived feedlot steers.

description: The frequency and severity of complex bovine respiratory diseases have increased globally, and respiratory disease is currently regarded as the principle health problem and most economically important disease in young calves. Bovine mycoplasmas are often isolated from pneumonic lungs in combination with other pathogens such as Pasteurella multocida. The systemic complications and deleterious outcomes associated with Gram-negative infections have been attributed to the exaggerated inflammatory responses largely elicited by a highly pro-inflammatory component of the Gram-negative bacterial envelope known as endotoxin. To the best of our knowledge, comparative studies on the relationship between endotoxin activity in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF), and between endotoxin activity and bronchopneumonia have not yet been performed in calves. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine plasma and/or BALF endotoxin activity in calves with bronchopneumonia.

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: CaFe2As2 exhibits collapsed tetragonal (cT) structure and varied exotic behavior under pressure at low temperatures that led to debate on linking the structural changes to its exceptional electronic properties like superconductivity, magnetism, etc. Here, we investigate the electronic structure of CaFe2As2 forming in different structures employing density functional theory. The results indicate better stability of the cT phase with enhancement in hybridization induced effects and shift of the energy bands towards lower energies. The Fermi surface centered around $Γ$ point gradually vanishes with the increase in pressure. Consequently, the nesting between the hole and electron Fermi surfaces associated to the spin density wave state disappears indicating a pathway to achieve the proximity to quantum fluctuations. The magnetic moment at the Fe sites diminishes in the cT phase consistent with the magnetic susceptibility results. Notably, the hybridization of Ca 4s states (Ca-layer may be treated as a charge reservoir layer akin to those in cuprate superconductors) is significantly enhanced in the cT phase revealing its relevance in its interesting electronic properties.

description: Some of the least available and most variable dairy herd data comprise records of disease and removal events. Although there are many studies based on the epidemiology of common diseases of dairy cattle, most studies solely focus on a specific disease with or without its effect on removals. Few studies have evaluated the combined impact of multiple diseases on culling and mortality. The objectives of this study were to estimate incidence of common dairy cattle disease and measure their subsequent impact on mortality and culling from the herd.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Chilean hake (Merluccius gayi gayi) is the main groundfish resource and predator in the south-central waters off Chile. It presents high cannibalism on age classes 0, 1 and 2. Management of this fishery is based on catch quota estimated using stock assessment models assuming constant mortality, assumption that might not hold for this species. Especially if it is considered that the high recruitment variability might be influenced by predation on juveniles. In this work we incorporate the predation equations from MSVPA to a length-structured stock assessment model and analyze the main indicators of hake's population dynamics

description: Introduction: VaxigripTetra™ (IIV4; Sanofi Pasteur) is a quadrivalent split-virion influenza vaccine approved in Europe in 2016 for individuals ≥ 3 years of age. IIV4 builds on the well-established record of the trivalent split-virion influenza vaccine (Vaxigrip®). Areas covered: This literature review summarizes the rationale for developing quadrivalent influenza vaccines and discusses the phase III clinical trial results supporting the immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability of IIV4. Expert commentary: IIV4 is immunogenic and well tolerated. Adding a second B strain to the trivalent split-virion influenza vaccine provides a superior immune response for the additional strain but does not reduce the immune response for the three other strains or negatively affect the safety profile. By offering broader protection against co-circulating influenza B lineages, IIV4 has the potential to further reduce influenza-related morbidity and mortality beyond that achieved with trivalent vaccines.
Delayed insemination optimizes conception in dairy cows with natural estrus
Creators: name: Villarroel, A.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2016

description: Dairy farmers struggle to decide when to inseminate a cow after estrus is detected, mainly because heat detection methods have changed over time and new rules apply. Although the AM-PM rule was widely used during the time of visual heat detection, with the advent of timed insemination protocols, many dairies have decided to inseminate only once every day, typically in the morning. This has led to inseminate cows as soon as they show estrus signs in fear of being too late when inseminating the following day. The objective of this study was to compare conception risk in cows inseminated at different times from the time of estrus detection via pedometers.

description: Objective: To study the association between cardiovascular co-morbidities and mortality risk in primary care patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods: The study population included all adults (n = 12,283) ≥ 45 years diagnosed with AF at 75 primary care centres in Sweden between 2001 and 2007. The outcome was mortality (until 2010) and data were explored for co-morbidities using Cox regression with hazard ratios (HRs). Analyses were performed stratified by sex and by age-group (45–64, 65–74 and ≥75 years of age) with adjustment for age, socio-economic factors and relevant co-morbidities. Results: During a mean of 5.8 years (standard deviation 2.4) of follow-up, 3954 (32%) patients died (1971 (35%) women, and 1983 (30%) men). High HRs were found for congestive heart disease (CHF) and cerebrovascular diseases for all age-groups among men and women (except for the 45–64 year old women); for coronary heart disease among the oldest men; for diabetes among the 65–74 year old men and the 45–64 year old women. Low HRs were found for hypertension among women ≥75 years of age. Conclusions: In this clinical setting, CHF and cerebrovascular diseases were consistently associated with mortality in all age-groups. The possible protective effect by hypertension among elderly women should be interpreted with caution.KEY MESSAGESWe found congestive heart failure and cerebrovascular diseases to be consistently associated with mortality in both women and men.We found hypertension to be associated with lower mortality risk among women ≥75 years of age, although this finding must be interpreted with caution.Depression was found to be associated with increased mortality risk among men and women aged 65–74 years of age.

description: In this paper, simultaneous removal of methylene blue (MB) and Pb2+ from the binary component system by an easily prepared cross-linked lignosulfonate bio-adsorbent (CLLS) was described. CLLS was characterized by FTIR, SEM/EDS and TGA. The influences of pH, temperature, contact time and initial MB and Pb2+ concentrations on the adsorption performance were investigated. The results demonstrated a good ability of CLLS to remove MB and Pb2+ simultaneously. Using of 1.0 g L-1 loading, removal efficiency of MB and Pb2+ reached 98.0% and 97.8%, respectively, in the MB (100 mg.L-1)-Pb2+ (50 mg.L-1) system. Moreover, the adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics indicated that the results were fitting well with the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order model, respectively, for both MB and Pb2+. Based on the Langmuir model, the maximum adsorption capacity of MB and Pb2+ reached 132.6 mg·g-1 and 64.9 mg·g-1, respectively, in the MB-Pb2+ system, which was much lower than that in the single component system (358.4 mg·g-1 100.9 mg·g-1 for MB and Pb2+, respectively). Hence, simultaneous adsorption of MB and Pb2+ onto CLLS was an antagonistic adsorption. In addition, an apart-sequential adsorption method was used to study the action of adsorption sites on CLLS for MB and/or Pb2+ with the help of an efficient self-made apparatus. Rudimental results showed that there would be three different kinds of adsorption sites on CLLS: MB-site, Pb2+-site and MB/Pb2+- shared sites. Furthermore, in the MB (100 mg.L-1)-Pb2+(50.0 mg.L-1) system, the simultaneous removal efficiency of MB and Pb2+ still maintained 91.8% and 85.0%, respectively, after 6 cycles.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Ecopath with Ecosim methodology is a widely used tool for the quantification of food webs and analysis of ecosystem dynamics (Pauly et al. 2000). The approach is founded on a static description of the ecosystem represented by biomasses aggregated into ecologically functional groups. Predators and prey are linked through consumption defined by the diet composition matrix and consumption rate parameters. At present, 3 published Ecopath models exist for the North Sea. Based on 1981 year of the stomach data Christensen (1995) constructed two models representing the 1981 period; a 24 box model and 29 box model including more detailed, size based plankton groups. Mackinson (2002a), constructed a detailed historical representation of the North Sea in the 1880s which includes 49 boxes, with catch data for five different fishing fleets, and has been used in an examination of the utility of Ecosim’s harvest policy analysis routine (Mackinson 2002b). The Ecopath approach provides a common platform for model development that will enable us to make comparisons of the North Sea with other marine ecosystems, particularly those surrounding the UK coast and North Atlantic.

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We present a novel extension of the Standard Model which fulfills the multiple-point principle without contradicting the Higgs particle mass measurement. In the model, the scalar potential has two minima where the scalar field has vacuum expectation values of 246 GeV and the Planck mass $\simeq 2.44\times 10^{18}$ GeV, the latter of which is realized by considering a classically scale invariant setup and requiring that the scalar quartic coupling and its beta function vanish at the Planck scale. The Standard Model Higgs field is a mixture of an elementary scalar and composite scalars in a new strongly-coupled gauge theory, and the strong dynamics gives rise to the negative mass for the SM Higgs field, and at the same time, causes separation of the SM Higgs quartic coupling and the quartic coupling for the elementary scalar, which leads to the vanshing of the latter quartic coupling and its beta function at the Planck scale. The model predicts new scalar particles with about 300 GeV mass possessing electroweak charges and Yukawa-type couplings with Standard Model fermions, and a new light gauge boson that couples to Standard Model fermions.

description: Galactic star formation scaling relations show increased scatter from kpc to sub-kpc scales. Investigating this scatter may hold important clues to how the star formation process evolves in time and space. Here, we combine different molecular gas tracers, different star formation indicators probing distinct populations of massive stars, and knowledge on the evolutionary state of each star forming region to derive star formation properties of $\sim$150 star forming complexes over the face of the Large Magellanic Cloud. We find that the rate of massive star formation ramps up when stellar clusters emerge and boost the formation of subsequent generations of massive stars. In addition, we reveal that the star formation efficiency of individual GMCs declines with increasing cloud gas mass ($M_\mathrm{cloud}$). This trend persists in Galactic star forming regions, and implies higher molecular gas depletion times for larger GMCs. We compare the star formation efficiency per freefall time ($ε_\mathrm{ff}$) with predictions from various widely-used analytical star formation models. We show that while these models can produce large dispersions in $ε_\mathrm{ff}$ similar to observations, the origin of the model-predicted scatter is inconsistent with observations. Moreover, all models fail to reproduce the observed decline of $ε_\mathrm{ff}$ with increasing $M_\mathrm{cloud}$ in the LMC and the Milky Way. We conclude that analytical star formation models idealizing global turbulence levels, cloud densities, and assuming a stationary SFR are inconsistent with observations from modern datasets tracing massive star formation on individual cloud scales. Instead, we reiterate the importance of local stellar feedback in shaping the properties of GMCs and setting their massive star formation rate.

description: Vaccines are considered to be one of the greatest public health achievements of the last century. Depending on the biology of the infection, the disease to be prevented, and the targeted population, a vaccine may require the induction of different adaptive immune mechanisms to be effective. Understanding the basic concepts of different vaccines is therefore crucial to understand their mode of action, benefits, risks, and their potential real-life impact on protection. This review aims to provide healthcare professionals with background information about the main vaccine designs and concepts of protection in a simplified way to improve their knowledge and understanding, and increase their confidence in the science of vaccination (Supplementary Material).KEY MESSAGEDifferent vaccine designs, each with different advantages and limitations, can be applied for protection against a particular disease.Vaccines may contain live-attenuated pathogens, inactivated pathogens, or only parts of pathogens and may also contain adjuvants to stimulate the immune responses.This review explains the mode of action, benefits, risks and real-life impact of vaccines by highlighting key vaccine concepts.An improved knowledge and understanding of the main vaccine designs and concepts of protection will help support the appropriate use and expectations of vaccines, increase confidence in the science of vaccination, and help reduce vaccine hesitancy.

description: The 3.6 and 4.5 micron characteristics of AGB variables in the LMC and IC1613 are discussed. For C-rich Mira variables there is a very clear period-luminosity-colour relation, where the [3.6]-[4.5] colour is associated with the amount of circumstellar material and correlated with the pulsation amplitude. The [4.5] period-luminosity relation for dusty stars is approximately one mag brighter than for their naked counterparts with comparable periods.

Gravitational Deflection in Relativistic Newtonian Dynamics

description: In a recent series of papers, the authors introduced a new Relativistic Newtonian Dynamics (RND) and tested its validity by the accurate prediction of the gravitational time dilation, the anomalous precession of Mercury, the periastron advance of any binary and the Shapiro time delay. This dynamics incorporates the influence of potential energy on spacetime in Newtonian dynamics and, unlike Einstein's General Relativity, treats gravity as a force without the need to curve spacetime. In this paper, this dynamics is applied to derive the gravitational deflection of both objects with non-zero mass and of massless particles passing the strong gravitating field of a massive body. Equations for the trajectory and the resulting analytical expressions for the deflection angle, in terms of the distance and velocity at the point of closest approach to the massive object, were derived in both cases. It is shown that with a carefully defined limit, the trajectory of a massless particle is the limiting case of that of an object with non-zero mass. In the "weak" deflection limit, the derived expression for the deflection angle of a massless particle (photon) reproduces the experimentally tested Einstein's formula for weak gravitational lensing of a light ray, thereby providing another test for the validity of the RND.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Trophodynamic interactions (predation and competition), have been recognised as being of great importance for the regulation of fish population dynamics (1). Fishing can be regarded as a predation process that targets fish species of economical interest but can also modify the dynamics of marine ecosystems. Direct and indirect effects of predation and overfishing can result in cascade effects (Ref 2, Figure 1) and initiate ecosystem ‘regime shifts’ (3). Various trophodynamic indicators have been proposed as tools to aid the ecosystem approach to fisheries management, and thus sustainable exploitation of marine resources. (4).
Post-partum serum albumin as a predictor of metritis

description: The transition cow is in a negative nutrient balance, recognized largely as a negative energy and calcium balance. In response to the negative energy state, the body begins to mobilize body fat. In response to the negative calcium balance, the body begins to mobilize calcium stores from bone. A negative protein balance has also been documented, and results in mobilization of protein reserves from skeletal muscles. Total serum protein has been associated with cow health, but serum albumin is more specific and plays an important role in transporting triglycerides and calcium. Albumin has been proposed as a potential biomarker for health in the transition cow. The objective of this study was to determine whether low serum albumin concentrations 2 days after calving would result in an increased risk of developing acute puerperal metritis (APM). A secondary objective was to establish whether total or ionized calcium levels 48 hours post calving were associated with serum albumin levels early postpartum.

description: A proper labeling of a graph is an assignment of integers to some elements of a graph, which may be the vertices, the edges, or both of them, such that we obtain a proper vertex coloring via the labeling subject to some conditions. The problem of proper labeling offers many variants and received a great interest during recent years. We consider the algorithmic complexity of some variants of the proper labeling problems, we present some polynomial time algorithms and $ \mathbf{NP} $-completeness results for them.

description: Landfill leachates are considered to be complex effluents of a variable composition containing many biorecalcitrant and highly toxic compounds. Considering the shortage of studies concerning the treatment of landfill leachates using ozone, as well as its combination with catalysts, the aim of this paper was to identify the organic compounds in this effluent treated with advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) of ozonation (O3), and heterogeneous catalytic ozonation with TiO2 (O3/TiO2) and with ZnO (O3/ZnO). In addition, this study sought to assess the efficiency of the removal of the organic matter present in the leachate. For the pre- and post-AOPs, the leachate was characterized through physicochemical parameters and identification of organic compounds using gas chromatography coupled to the mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The three processes studied (O3, O3/TiO2, and O3/ZnO) presented color removal, turbidity, BOD above 95%, and lower COD removals (19%, 24%, and 33%, respectively). All AOPs studied promoted a similar reduction of organic compounds from leachate, some of which with toxic and carcinogenic potential, such as p-cresol, bisphenol A, atrazine, and hexazinone. In addition, upon the removal of organic matter and organic compounds, the heterogeneous catalytic ozonation processes proved more efficient than the process carried out only with ozone.
