Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2009

description: Most newborn calf deaths occur prior to weaning, and perinatal mortality that occurs within 48 hours of birth is an increasingly important problem. High-risk calves are delayed in head righting, sitting, and standing attempts. They may be meconium stained, have had an assisted delivery, or been born with a short or prolonged gestation. Without critical care, many of these calves adapt poorly and are at risk for poor colostrum absorption, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, respiratory acidosis, disease, and death. Neonatal resuscitation, oxygen delivery, and fluid administration improves survival rate. Colostrum delivery, clinical monitoring, intravenous catheter placement and maintenance, supportive care, and the implementation of effective treatment protocols performed by trained veterinary technicians provide added value to the large animal veterinarian by enhancing the survival and health of calves.

Client Perception = Your Reality

Year: 2009

description: Despite a consensus of the importance of technical competence in veterinary care, clients rate the most important characteristics for choosing a veterinarian to be the ability to communicate understanding, compassion, and respect, and provide information in clear and simple language. Similarly, veterinarians value the importance of communication skills as necessary for practice success, yet many veterinarians state inadequate training in this area. Providing quality animal care involves more than just technical competency. Regardless of the health care needs of the patient, clear and compassionate communication on the part of the veterinary team is critical to enhancing the overall experience for both animal and client, before, during and after the clinical visit. Effective communication is considered to be the essence of quality veterinary care and one of the necessary skills required in clinical practice and expected by clients.

description: We address the problem of estimating a high quality dense depth map from a single RGB input image. We start out with a baseline encoder-decoder convolutional neural network architecture and pose the question of how the global processing of information can help improve overall depth estimation. To this end, we propose a transformer-based architecture block that divides the depth range into bins whose center value is estimated adaptively per image. The final depth values are estimated as linear combinations of the bin centers. We call our new building block AdaBins. Our results show a decisive improvement over the state-of-the-art on several popular depth datasets across all metrics. We also validate the effectiveness of the proposed block with an ablation study and provide the code and corresponding pre-trained weights of the new state-of-the-art model.

description: Oral rehydration of calves with diarrhea is an important component of their treatment. Delivering oral rehydration solutions (ORS) can be time consuming and labor intensive. Most ORS products require separate administration from milk so that proper energy levels and adequate absorption of milk from the gut occurs. The ability to feed ORS directly in the milk has an advantage of time and labor savings. The purpose of this study was to compare two commercial products (RE-SO RB™ and Diaque ™) using their labeled administration for treating uncomplicated diarrhea in calves. RE-SO RB™ was designed for feeding separately in water whereas DiaqueTM was designed for feeding directly in milk. Parameters monitored during the study included morbidity, mortality, and average daily gain (ADG) which was recorded post treatment and at the time of weaning.

description: US dairy calves are often disbudded at an early age without analgesics, whereas several other countries require analgesics. Administration of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in milk replacer would be a simple, stress-free method to deliver analgesics for disbudding if shown to improve well-being. Most studies of NSAID efficacy involve older animals, NSAIDs not labeled for use in US cattle, or NSAIDs administered by injection. Our objective was to determine the effects of administering an NSAID labeled for use in US cattle (flunixin meglumine; FM) in milk replacer on heart rate (HR), physical activity (PA), and salivary cortisol concentration (SCC) in young dairy calves disbudded by cautery.

description: Code retrieval is a common practice for programmers to reuse existing code snippets in open-source repositories. Given a user query (i.e., a natural language description), code retrieval aims at searching for the most relevant ones from a set of code snippets. The main challenge of effective code retrieval lies in mitigating the semantic gap between natural language descriptions and code snippets. With the ever-increasing amount of available open-source code, recent studies resort to neural networks to learn the semantic matching relationships between the two sources. The statement-level dependency information, which highlights the dependency relations among the program statements during the execution, reflects the structural importance of one statement in the code, which is favorable for accurately capturing the code semantics but has never been explored for the code retrieval task. In this paper, we propose CRaDLe, a novel approach for Code Retrieval based on statement-level semantic Dependency Learning. Specifically, CRaDLe distills code representations through fusing both the dependency and semantic information at the statement level and then learns a unified vector representation for each code and description pair for modeling the matching relationship. Comprehensive experiments and analysis on real-world datasets show that the proposed approach can accurately retrieve code snippets for a given query and significantly outperform the state-of-the-art approaches to the task.

description: Self-attention learns pairwise interactions to model long-range dependencies, yielding great improvements for video action recognition. In this paper, we seek a deeper understanding of self-attention for temporal modeling in videos. We first demonstrate that the entangled modeling of spatio-temporal information by flattening all pixels is sub-optimal, failing to capture temporal relationships among frames explicitly. To this end, we introduce Global Temporal Attention (GTA), which performs global temporal attention on top of spatial attention in a decoupled manner. We apply GTA on both pixels and semantically similar regions to capture temporal relationships at different levels of spatial granularity. Unlike conventional self-attention that computes an instance-specific attention matrix, GTA directly learns a global attention matrix that is intended to encode temporal structures that generalize across different samples. We further augment GTA with a cross-channel multi-head fashion to exploit channel interactions for better temporal modeling. Extensive experiments on 2D and 3D networks demonstrate that our approach consistently enhances temporal modeling and provides state-of-the-art performance on three video action recognition datasets.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A tidal front is created in a stratified sea where a strong tidal flow interacts with a shallow bank. The tidal flow generates strong turbulence by the friction on the bottom which breaks up the stratification. On the shallow bank the tidally indiced mixing is so strong that the whole water column is mixed. Examples of important tidal front regions are over Georges Bank and Dogger Bank in the North Sea.

description: Studying chemical reactions at very low temperatures is of importance for the understanding of fundamental physical and chemical processes. At very low energies, collisions are dominated by only a few partial waves. Thus, studies in this regime allow the characterisation of quantum effects which depend on the collisional angular momentum, e.g., reactive scattering resonances and tunneling through centrifugal barriers. Additionally, the dynamics of ultralow-energy collisions is dominated by long-range interactions, i.e., "universal" chemical forces. Thus, experiments in this domain probe the details of intermolecular interactions which is of general relevance for the understanding of chemical processes. Moreover, the increasingly more precise experiments provide valuable data for benchmarking theoretical models and quantum-chemical calculations. Studies of cold ion-neutral reactions in the laboratory rely on techniques for the generation of cold ions and cold neutrals. Many of these techniques do not only allow the translational cooling of the molecules, but also a precise reparation of their internal quantum state. Thus, by an accurate preparation of both the energy and state of the reaction partners as well as by the application of external electric, magnetic or optical fields, prospects open up to study and control chemical processes at an unprecedented level of accuracy. In this chapter, we will review salient theoretical concepts and recent experimental developments for studies of ion-molecule reactions at low temperatures. We first discuss the theoretical background for the description of low-energy ion-molecule reactions. Next we present key experimental methods for laboratory studies of cold ion-molecule reactions. The chapter concludes with a review of illustrative results and an outlook on future directions.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.the Dover Strait, one of the world’s busiest straits, links the North Sea to the English Channel. It shows intense human-based activities such as fishing and shipping, and constitutes an important economic area. Since the marine habitats and living resources in this region are also environmentally valuable, an integrated study using information systems and other decision-making tools was required to ensure their sustainable exploitation. In 2003, a Franco-British Interreg IIIA project, ‘Eastern Channel Habitat Atlas for Marine Resource Management’ (CHARM), was initiated to compile essential biological and physical information into a digital atlas and to provide a decision-making platform. This project aims at improving the planning of resource management in the light of the prevailing legal framework. The main biological objectives of the project are to assess the status of key commercial fish species, to describe their habitats, and to develop a scientific prediction tool capable of accounting for the impact of various current and future anthropogenic impacts to marine habitats. Pressures might include planned and deliberate use of the area (e.g. aggregate extraction, wind farms, aquaculture, fisheries, submarine pipelines and cables), unplanned events (e.g. accidental pollution, shipping accidents), but also long-term climatic change. This poster summarises the different aspects of the CHARM project.

description: Collective phenomena emerge from the interaction of natural or artificial units with a complex organization. The interplay between structural patterns and dynamics might induce functional clusters that, in general, are different from topological ones. In biological systems, like the human brain, the overall functionality is often favored by the interplay between connectivity and synchronization dynamics, with functional clusters that do not coincide with anatomical modules in most cases. In social, socio-technical and engineering systems, the quest for consensus favors the emergence of clusters. Despite the unquestionable evidence for mesoscale organization of many complex systems and the heterogeneity of their inter-connectivity, a way to predict and identify the emergence of functional modules in collective phenomena continues to elude us. Here, we propose an approach based on random walk dynamics to define the diffusion distance between any pair of units in a networked system. Such a metric allows to exploit the underlying diffusion geometry to provide a unifying framework for the intimate relationship between metastable synchronization, consensus and random search dynamics in complex networks, pinpointing the functional mesoscale organization of synthetic and biological systems.

description: Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a semi-supervised learning paradigm which an agent learns by interacting with an environment. Deep learning in combination with RL provides an efficient method to learn how to interact with the environment is called Deep Reinforcement Learning (deep RL). Deep RL has gained tremendous success in gaming - such as AlphaGo, but its potential have rarely being explored for challenging tasks like Speech Emotion Recognition (SER). The deep RL being used for SER can potentially improve the performance of an automated call centre agent by dynamically learning emotional-aware response to customer queries. While the policy employed by the RL agent plays a major role in action selection, there is no current RL policy tailored for SER. In addition, extended learning period is a general challenge for deep RL which can impact the speed of learning for SER. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce a novel policy - "Zeta policy" which is tailored for SER and apply Pre-training in deep RL to achieve faster learning rate. Pre-training with cross dataset was also studied to discover the feasibility of pre-training the RL Agent with a similar dataset in a scenario of where no real environmental data is not available. IEMOCAP and SAVEE datasets were used for the evaluation with the problem being to recognize four emotions happy, sad, angry and neutral in the utterances provided. Experimental results show that the proposed "Zeta policy" performs better than existing policies. The results also support that pre-training can reduce the training time upon reducing the warm-up period and is robust to cross-corpus scenario.

description: Angular limb deformities (ALD) are common among llamas and alpacas. Veterinarians most commonly are asked to examine growing neonates for skeletal abnormalities, but these defects are not uncommon among adult llamas and alpacas. Owners may perceive that a mild angulation ( < 5 degrees) in the forelimbs of adults is within the expected variation of normalcy. However, these angulations represent a skeletal defect and should not be encouraged as an acceptable phenotypic trait.

description: In a 1979 paper, K. Okamoto introduced the space of initial values for the six Painlevé equations and their associated Hamiltonian systems, showing that these define regular initial value problems at every point of an augmented phase space, a rational surface with certain exceptional divisors removed. We show that the construction of the space of initial values remains meaningful for certain classes of second-order complex differential equations, and more generally, Hamiltonian systems, where all movable singularities of all their solutions are algebraic poles (by some authors denoted the quasi-Painlevé property), which is a generalisation of the Painlevé property. The difference here is that the initial value problems obtained in the extended phase space become regular only after an additional change of dependent and independent variables. Constructing the analogue of space of initial values for these equations in this way also serves as an algorithm to single out, from a given class of equations or system of equations, those equations which are free from movable logarithmic branch points.

description: Madden has shown that in contrast to the situation with frames, the smallest dense quotient of a $κ$-frame need not be Boolean. We characterise these so-called d-reduced $κ$-frames as those which may be embedded as a generating sub-$κ$-frame of a Boolean frame. We introduce the notion of the closure of a $κ$-frame congruence and call a congruence clear if it is the largest congruence with a given closure. These ideas are used to prove $κ$-frame analogues of known results concerning Boolean frame quotients. In particular, we show that d-reduced $κ$-frames are precisely the quotients of $κ$-frames by clear congruences and that every $κ$-frame congruence is the meet of clear congruences.

Fracture of the Long Bones

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2009

description: Fracture management in alpacas and llamas presents a unique and interesting challenge to the veterinary surgeon. The increasing popularity of camelids in North America means veterinarians are more likely to see them as patients; therefore, dealing with camelid fractures is quickly becoming part of the normal caseload. Because of the relatively high commercial value of most camelids, clients will usually be willing to pursue treatment. Camelids are considered to be excellent patients for the treatment of orthopedic injuries because of their relative low body weight, their ability to ambulate on three legs postoperatively, and tolerate external coaptation devices and prolonged periods of recumbency for recuperation after surgery. For these reasons, the veterinary surgeon has a full repertoire of repair techniques available to choose from when determining the ideal repair option. Not surprisingly, the scientific literature has lagged behind the relatively rapid rise in camelid popularity; there are currently 62 case reports on camelid long bone fracture fixation. This paper will review the published literature on the management of long bone fractures. Fracture management includes the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative time periods. Emergency treatment, clinical workup, principles of fracture repair, treatment, and prognosis for specific long bone fractures and their complications will be discussed.

description: Social choice functions (SCFs) map the preferences of a group of agents over some set of alternatives to a non-empty subset of alternatives. The Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem has shown that only extremely restrictive SCFs are strategyproof when there are more than two alternatives. For set-valued SCFs, or so-called social choice correspondences, the situation is less clear. There are miscellaneous - mostly negative - results using a variety of strategyproofness notions and additional requirements. The simple and intuitive notion of Kelly-strategyproofness has turned out to be particularly compelling because it is weak enough to still allow for positive results. For example, the Pareto rule is strategyproof even when preferences are weak, and a number of attractive SCFs (such as the top cycle, the uncovered set, and the essential set) are strategyproof for strict preferences. In this paper, we show that, for weak preferences, only indecisive SCFs can satisfy strategyproofness. In particular, (i) every strategyproof rank-based SCF violates Pareto-optimality, (ii) every strategyproof support-based SCF (which generalize Fishburn's C2 SCFs) that satisfies Pareto-optimality returns at least one most preferred alternative of every voter, and (iii) every strategyproof non-imposing SCF returns the Condorcet loser in at least one profile. We also discuss the consequences of these results for randomized social choice.

description: Meeting the ever increasing demand for transmission capacity in wireless networks will require evolving towards higher regions in the radiofrequency spectrum, reducing cell sizes as well as resorting to more compact, agile and power efficient equipment at the base stations, capable of smoothly interfacing the radio and fiber segments. Photonic chips with fully functional microwave photonic systems are promising candidates to achieve these targets. Over the last years, many integrated microwave photonic chips have been reported in different technologies. However, and to the best of our knowledge, none of them have fully integrated all the required active and passive components. Here, we report the first ever demonstration of a microwave photonics tunable filter completely integrated in an Indium Phosphide chip and packaged. The chip implements a reconfigurable RF- photonic filter, it includes all the required elements, such as lasers, modulators and photodetectors, and its response can be tuned by means of control electric currents. This demonstration is a fundamental step towards the feasibility of compact and fully programmable integrated microwave photonic processors.

Veterinarians should be aware of potential life-threatening lesions associated with the acute abdomen (colic). Camelids demonstrate clinical signs of abdominal pain similar to those seen in true-ruminants (depression, recumbency, abnormal posture) and horses (kicking at the abdomen, rolling). Clinicians working with camelids must become familiar with the normal activity, anatomy, physiology, and diseases common to these interesting patients.

Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Dover Strait, which connects the English Channel to the North Sea, constitutes a significant economic resource for a wide range of human activities including the extraction of biotic (e.g. fisheries) and abiotic (e.g. aggregate) resources, plus ports and shipping. Exploitation of these natural and human resources currently lacks integration and applies pressure on the marine ecosystem, including fish stocks. There is a crucial need for harmonizing environmental information in this area. CHARM (Eastern Channel Habitat Atlas for Marine Resource Management) is a Franco-British Interreg IIIA project that intends to meet this requirement through the development of a digital atlas. Using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology, physical parameters such as bathymetry, seabed sediments, shear seabed stress, estuaries and embayment, tidal fronts, water temperature and salinity will be compiled into an atlas. Seasonal and inter-annual variability of features such as water temperature and salinity will be investigated and included in the atlas. The data will be used to create a Marine Landscape map for the Dover Strait and Eastern English Channel, with broad scale units based on geophysical, physiographic and hydrodynamic characteristics of the seabed and the water column. Since biotic resources, such as commercial fish species interact closely with their physical environment. this Marine Landscape map is expected to aid ecosystem management in areas of the Dover Strait and Eastern English Channel where fish abundance data is lacking.

We identify cultural and technical obstacles to reproducibility in the EC field. Finally, we provide guidelines and suggest tools that may help to overcome some of these reproducibility obstacles.

description: The influence of dynamic interlayer interactions on the spin torque driven and damped excitations are illustrated for a three layer macrospin model system that corresponds to a standard spin-torque oscillator. The free layer and a synthetic antiferromagnetic (SyF) pinned layer of the spin-torque oscillator are in-plane magnetized. In order to understand experimental results, numerical simulations have been performed considering three types of interlayer interactions: exchange interaction between the two magnetic layers of the SyF, mutual spin torque between the top layer of the SyF and the free layer and dipolar interaction between all three magnetic layers. It will be shown that the dynamic dipolar coupling plays a predominant role. First, it leads to a hybridization of the free layer and the SyF linear modes and through this gives rise to a strong field dependence of the critical current. In particular, there is a field range of enhanced damping in which much higher current is required to drive the modes into steady state. This results in a gap in the excitation spectrum. Second, the dynamic dipolar interaction is also responsible for the non-linear interaction between the current driven steady state mode and the damped modes of the system. Here one can distinguish: (i) a resonant interaction that leads to a kink in the frequency-field and frequency-current dispersions accompanied by a small hysteresis and a reduction of the linewidth of the steady state mode and (ii) a non-resonant interaction that leads to a strong frequency redshift of the damped mode. The results underline the strong impact of interlayer coupling on the excitation spectra of spin-torque oscillators and illustrate in a simple three mode model system how in the non-linear regime the steady state and damped modes influence each other.

description: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are mysterious transient phenomena. The study of repeating FRBs may provide useful information about their nature due to their redetectability. The two most famous repeating sources are FRBs 121102 and 180916, with a period of 157 days and 16.35 days, respectively. Previous studies suggest that the periodicity of FRBs is likely associated with neutron star (NS) binary systems. Here we introduce a new model which proposes that periodic repeating FRBs are due to the interaction of a NS with its planet in a highly elliptical orbit. The periastron of the planet is very close to the NS so that it would be partially disrupted by tidal force every time it passes through the periastron. Fragments generated in the process could interact with the compact star through the Alfvén wing mechanism and produce FRBs. The model can naturally explain the repeatability of FRBs with a period ranging from a few days to several hundred days, but it generally requires that the eccentricity of the planet's orbit should be large enough. Taking FRBs 121102 and 180916 as examples, it is shown that the main features of the observed repeating behaviors can be satisfactorily accounted for.

description: In 2015 July 29 - September 1 the satellite XMM-Newton pointed at the BL Lac object PG 1553+133 six times, collecting data for 218 hours. During one of these epochs, simultaneous observations by the Swift satellite were requested to compare the results of the X-ray and optical-UV instruments. Optical, near-infrared and radio monitoring was carried out by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) collaboration for the whole observing season. We here present the results of the analysis of all these data, together with an investigation of the source photometric and polarimetric behaviour over the last three years. The 2015 EPIC spectra show slight curvature and the corresponding light curves display fast X-ray variability with a time scale of the order of 1 hour. In contrast to previous results, during the brightest X-ray states detected in 2015 the simple log-parabolic model that best-fits the XMM-Newton data also reproduces reasonably well the whole synchrotron bump, suggesting a peak in the near-UV band. We found evidence of a wide rotation of the polarization angle in 2014, when the polarization degree was variable, but the flux remained almost constant. This is difficult to interpret with deterministic jet emission models, while it can be easily reproduced by assuming some turbulence of the magnetic field.

description: Accurate differentiation of medical and surgical lesions in the abdomen of camelids often is difficult because of their stoic nature. Peritoneal fluid samples are difficult to obtain and changes in peritoneal fluid constituents may not be specific to surgical or medical conditions. Laparoscopy may provide a rapid method for examination of the abdomen with reduced morbidity compared to that for exploratory celiotomy. Routine laparoscopy for evaluation of reproductive structures in llamas and alpacas appears to be a safe procedure; however, systemic effects of laparoscopy have not been objectively evaluated. Surgical approach for laparoscopy and laparoscopic anatomy have been described in cattle, horses, and llamas. Abdominal anatomy in camelids is markedly different from horses and cattle. In the context of this article, the term "camelid" is used to refer to procedures equally applicable to llamas and alpacas. When specific differences are notable, the term llama or alpaca is used.

description: Peatland rewetting aims at stopping the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and establishing net carbon sinks. However, in times of global warming, restoration projects must increasingly deal with extreme events such as drought periods. Here, we evaluate the effect of the European summer drought 2018 on vegetation development and the exchange of methane (CH4) and CO2 in two rewetted minerotrophic fens (Hütelmoor - Hte and Zarnekow - Zrk) including potential carry-over effects in the post-drought year. Drought was a major stress factor for the established vegetation but also promoted the rapid spread of new vegetation, which will likely gain a lasting foothold in Zrk. Accordingly, drought increased not only respiratory CO2 losses but also photosynthetic CO2 uptake. Altogether, the drought reduced the net CO2 sink in Hte, while it stopped the persistent net CO2 emissions of Zrk. In addition, the drought reduced CH4 emissions in both fens, though this became most apparent in the post-drought year and suggests a lasting shift towards non-methanogenic organic matter decomposition. Occasional droughts can be beneficial for the restoration of the peatland carbon sink function if the newly grown vegetation increases CO2 sequestration in the long term. Nonetheless, care must be taken to prevent extensive peat decay.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Impacts of the 2018 severe drought and heatwave in Europe: from site to continental scale'.

description: The purpose of the study: Conduct a paleographic and cultural analysis of Hryhorii Skovoroda’s manuscripts. To find and describe the most characteristic letters and calligraphic methods inherent in the philosopher, and to emphasize the features of the eighteenth-century handwriting in general. To form a paleographic database of letters that can be used to create fonts and designs for modern projects that emphasize the aesthetics of the Ukrainian Baroque. Research methods. Systematization of scientific sources, artistic analysis, synthesis and generalization of the obtained results, method of comparative analysis, creation of a paleographic database and systematization of empirical material based on it. Scientific novelty. For the first time in Ukrainian science, the manuscripts and handwriting of Hryhorii Skovoroda were examined from the point of view of paleographic and calligraphic analysis in the context of multicultural influences of the European and Greek writing traditions. Characteristic features of Hryhorii Skovoroda’s handwriting have been identified, which can be used to determine the attribution of certain texts to the philosopher. Based on this research, practising calligraphers and type designers can create inscriptions and fonts in the style of the Ukrainian philosopher. Conclusions. The individuality of the philosopher’s handwriting reflected not only the philosophical view of the author, his character and aesthetic preferences, but also the multicultural spirit of the late Ukrainian Baroque era. The study of Skovoroda’s calligraphy made it possible to fill the gap in the little-studied field of paleography related to eighteenth-century writing and aesthetics and to give impetus to the representation of these results in contemporary design and typeface projects. However, it is not enough to explore the visual connections between Skovoroda’s handwriting and artistic preferences, it is important to continue the started line of style and use this aesthetic of letters in the modern context of searching of the Ukrainian identity.
