description: The study was conducted to determine the haemato-biochemical changes in calves with bottle jaw syndrome, which were brought for treatment at the Bangladesh Agricultural University Veterinary Clinic during the period from July to December 2002. A total of 15 calves with bottle jaw syndrome of either sex or aged between 6 to 12 months were selected for the study. Results on hematological examination showed significantly (p<0.01) decreased values of haemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume, total erythrocytes and total leucocytes count in calves with bottle jaw syndrome in comparison to normal healthy control calves. Biochemical values revealed significantly (p<0.01) decreased serum calcium, inorganic phosphorus, total serum protein albumin, and glucose levels in calves with bottle jaw syndrome. Serum iron decreased insignificantly and serum chloride value increased significantly (p<0.01) but the serum magnesium level increased insignificantly (p<0.05) in calves with bottle jaw syndrome in comparison to the healthy control calves.

description: Photoactive nematic elastomers are soft rubbery solids that undergo deformation when illuminated. They are made by incorporating photoactive molecules like azobenzene into nematic liquid crystal elastomers. Since its initial demonstration in 2001, it has received increasing interest with many recent studies of periodic and buckling behavior. However, theoretical models developed have focused on describing specific deformation modes (e.g., beam bending and uniaxial contraction) in the absence of mechanical loads, with only limited attention to the interplay between mechanical stress and light-induced deformation. This paper explores photomechanical coupling in a photoactive nematic elastomer under both light illumination and mechanical stress. We begin with a continuum framework built on the free energy developed by Corbett and Warner (Phys. Rev. Lett. 2006). Mechanical stress leads to nematic alignment parallel to a uniaxial tensile stress. In the absence of mechanical stress, in the photo-stationary state where the system reaches equilibrium, the nematic director tends to align perpendicular to the polarization of a linearly polarized light. However, sufficient illumination can destroy nematic order through a first-order nematic-isotropic phase transition which is accompanied by a snap through deformation. Combined illumination and mechanical stress can lead to an exchange of stability accompanied by stripe domains. Finally, the stress-intensity phase diagram shows a critical point that may be of interest for energy conversion.

description: A total of 1754 hatching eggs were collected from six different crosses (HxWLH) xRIR, RIRxBP1-3, RIRx(WRxWLH), RIRx(WRxBPR)RIR, (HxWLH)BPR and (HxWR)RIRxWR and stored for three preincubation holding periods. Percent of infertile eggs differed significantly (p<0.01) among the crossbreds and (p<0.01) in holding periods. The highest value was for RIRx(WRxBPR)RIR-23.45, intermediate in RIRx(WRxWLH)-14.88, (HxWR)RIRxWR-9.38, (HxWLH) xRIR-5.69, (HxWLH)BPR-5.17 and lowest in RIRxBPR-3.69. The dead embryos differed significantly (p<0.05) among crossbreds and (p<0.01) in holding periods. The highest percent of dead embryoes was found in RIRx(WRxBPR)RIR-7.97, intermediate in (HxWLH) xRIR-5.34, RIR(WRxWLH)-4.59 and (HxWLH)BPR-3.25, lower in RIRxBPR- 3.02 and lowest in (HxWR)RIRxWR-2.68. The fertility differed significantly (p<0.01) among crossbreds and in holding periods. The highest fertility was in RIRxBPR-93.29 and lowest in RIRx(WRxBPR)RIR- 68.58. The hatchability of egg set differed significantly (p<0.01) among the crossbreds and in holding periods. The highest hatchability was found in RIRxBPR-82.50 and lowest in RIRx(WRxBPR)RIR- 52.77. The hatchability of fertile eggs differed significantly (p<0.01) among the crossbreds and in holding periods. The highest hatchability was found in RIRxBPR-88.37 and lowest in RIRx(WRxBPR)RIR-76.77. There were some positive correlations among different hatchability tra ts depending on genotypes. The correlations were more profound among RIRxBPR crossbreds.

description: We propose a scheme for the detection of qubit-environment entanglement at time $τ$ which requires only operations and measurements on the qubit, all within reach of current experimental state-of-the-art. The scheme works for any type of interaction which leads to pure dephasing of the qubit as long as the initial qubit state is pure. It becomes particularly simple when one of the qubit states is neutral with respect to the environment, such as in case of the most common choice of the NV center spin qubit or for excitonic charge qubits, when the environment is initially at thermal equilibrium.

description: The trajectory of a spherical object which falls freely in a gravitational field is fixed by its initial position and velocity. However, an object which can control its shape can also control its motion: Except where forbidden by symmetries and their associated conservation laws, a shape-changing (but rocket-free) spacecraft can have complete control over its trajectory. We discuss a general formalism which allows rocket-free maneuvers to be understood without constructing detailed interior models. A spacecraft's interior is abstracted to the specification of a quadrupole moment, and in some cases, it is only a single eigenvalue of that moment which is relevant. For orbits around a spherically-symmetric mass, we show that appropriately varying the relevant eigenvalue allows the energy and eccentricity of an orbit to be increased or decreased and its apsides to be rotated arbitrarily. Strategies are identified which optimize these maneuvers. In other contexts, we show that extended-body effects can be used to stabilize orbits which would otherwise be unstable.

description: Realistic charged macromolecules are characterized by discrete (rather than homogeneous) charge distributions. We investigate the effects of surface charge discretization on the counterion distribution at the level of mean-field theory using a two-state model. Both planar and cylindrical geometries are considered; for the latter case, we compare our results to numerical solutions of the full Poisson-Boltzmann equation. We find that the discretization of the surface charge can cause enhanced localization of the counterions near the surface; for charged cylinders, counterion condensation can exceed Oosawa-Manning condensation.

description: Eight hundred and fifty local chickens were studied for morphological characterization from some representative local markets/villages of nine-selected districts of Bangladesh. These chickens were sexually matured but different in sizes and unknown ages. Morphological traits were described based on visual observations and body measurements. Results showed that globally, local chicken in Bangladesh has white skin, yellow coloured eyes, yellow coloured tursus, red coloured earlobes, black cloured beak and red wattles. The feathering of their neck and body is normal but becomes thicker`at the sickles and main tails which are well developed in cocks. The head is round and presents a normalsized beak, a single type comb, round wattles and non-feathered cheek. Moreover, this fowl presents a lower meaty breast, a flat back and a medium developed thigh. Its feet have four toes even though some females have a well developed spurs. On the average, except for the beak length, there is a sexual dimorphism in favour of cocks for the main body measurements. The traits described above show the natural diversity of adaptation as well as the selection and improvement potentials of local chickens in Bangladesh.

Our main interest is to gain detailed information on the interface ground states of this model and the low-lying excitations above them. The new and most detailed results are obtained using a rigorous version of bosonization, which can be interpreted as a quantum central limit theorem.

description: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of feeding Meat and Bone Meal (MBM) on total amino acid (TA) and digestible amino acid (DA) basis on the performance of 150 straight run "Vencobb" broiler chicks. Maize, soybean and fishmeal based control diet, Ti (without MBM) and other four diets, T2 (5% MBM on TA), T3 (5% MBM on DA), T4 (10% MBM on TA) and T5 (10% MBM on DA) were formulated and supplied to 5 groups of birds. The body weight of broiler at 42 days were 1663.33, 1563.33, 1705, 1499 and 1730 g for Ti, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. The body weight was significantly improved at 5'h& 6'h week of age in T3 and T5 compared to other treatments. During 2-6 weeks feed conversion ratios were 1.95, 2.09, 1.86, 2.20 and 1.83; protein efficiencies were 2.51, 2.33, 2.58, 2.20 and 2.60; energy efficiencies were 16.70, 15.53, 17.43, 14.80 and 18.07 for the treatments Ti, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Feed conversion ratio was significantly improved in T3 compared to T2 and in T5 compared to T4.Dressing Yield was also better in. T3 and T5 and higher in male than female. Feed cost was higher in control diet while, feed cost/kg live weight was lower in T3 and T5 and profit was also higher in diets formulated on digestible amino acid basis. It may be concluded that up to 10% MBM can be included in broiler diets on DA basis for better performance and maximum profit.

description: A theory of the local magnetic response of a nonmagnetic impurity in a doped antiferromagnet, as relevant to the normal state in cuprates, is presented. It is based on the assumption of the overdamped collective mode in the bulk system and on the evidence, that equal-time spin correlations are only weakly renormalized in the vicinity of the impurity. The theory relates the Kondo-like behavior of the local susceptibility to the anomalous temperature dependence of the bulk magnetic susceptibility, where the observed increase of the Kondo temperature with doping reflects the crossover to the Fermi liquid regime and the spatial distribution of the magnetization is given by bulk antiferromagnetic correlations.

description: The aggregation of α-synuclein is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) and a variety of related neurological disorders. A number of mutations in this protein, including A30P and A53T, are associated with familial forms of the disease. Patients carrying the A30P mutation typically exhibit a similar age of onset and symptoms as sporadic PD, while those carrying the A53T mutation generally have an earlier age of onset and an accelerated progression. We report two C. elegans models of PD (PDA30P and PDA53T), which express these mutational variants in the muscle cells, and probed their behavior relative to animals expressing the wild-type protein (PDWT). PDA30P worms showed a reduced speed of movement and an increased paralysis rate, control worms, but no change in the frequency of body bends. By contrast, in PDA53T worms both speed and frequency of body bends were significantly decreased, and paralysis rate was increased. α-Synuclein was also observed to be less well localized into aggregates in PDA30P worms compared to PDA53T and PDWT worms, and amyloid-like features were evident later in the life of the animals, despite comparable levels of expression of α-synuclein. Furthermore, squalamine, a natural product currently in clinical trials for treating symptomatic aspects of PD, was found to reduce significantly the aggregation of α-synuclein and its associated toxicity in PDA53T and PDWT worms, but had less marked effects in PDA30P. In addition, using an antibody that targets the N-terminal region of α-synuclein, we observed a suppression of toxicity in PDA30P, PDA53T and PDWT worms. These results illustrate the use of these two C. elegans models in fundamental and applied PD research.

description: The Harderian gland is unique for the presence of plasma cells and other immunocompetent cells. A total of 16 chickens of both sexes, 8 from broilers of 30 days old and 8 from native chickens of six months (n=4 in each sex) were used for gross and histological studies of Harderian gland. The present study revealed that the size of the bibbed Harderian gland was varied between the broiler and native chickens. The length and breadth of the Harderian gland in the male broiler and native chickens was found to be higher in comparison to the female chickens. The connective tissue capsule was comparatively thicker in native chicken. The length of the lobule of the Harderian gland in female broiler was significantly higher than the male and it was 706.87±29.88 pm in male and 582.58±36.51 pm in female. The length of the lobule was higher in native male than in the female and it was measured 767.29±12.38 pm in male and 763.66±19.92,um in female. The lumens of the lobules were irregular in both native chicken and in broiler. In broiler male, the small acini were lined by low simple columnar epithelium and the lumen of the acini wat spherical, however, few of them were elongated and the cell boundaries were distinctly visible whereas in native chicken, the acini were lined by tall simple columnar epithelium and the lumen of the acini were elongated, irregular and narrow, and the cell boundaries were not distinctly visible. The plasma cells and lymphocytes were located in the apical part of these acini and in the inter acinus spaces (interstitium) of the broiler and native chicken. The present feeding will be helpful to interpret the role of Harderian gland in the immunogenecity of broiler and native chickens.

description: Copper, zinc, iron and manganese concentration of different fodders and feeds were determined to understand whether it is below or above the critical level. In this study samples of rice straw, grasses, tree leaves and concentrate feeds were analysed for different trace elements contents. Rice straw contained high levels of Fe and Mn (>50 and >40 ppm), while the values of Cu and Zn were lower than the critical values (<8.0 and <30 ppm). Both the road side and fallow land grasses contained an adequate level of Cu, Zn, Fe and Mn. Almost all types of grasses contained higher levels of micro mineral (Cu, Zn, Fe and Mn) except Zn (27 ppm) in Khesari grass. Higher concentration of Cu, Fe and Mn were found in tree leaves compared to critical values. All tree leaves contained relatively lower amount of Zn except saora, jackfruit and banana leaves. Copper contents of almost all the concentrates were higher than the critical level. Zinc concentration was higher in rice bran, mustard oil cake, wheat bran, khesari bran, til oil cake, maize crushed (48.7, 35.1, 65.2, 33.2, 52.6 and 32.1 ppm, respectively) as against the critical value. However, Zinc content was lower in matikalai bran (19.9 ppm), wheat crushed (22.4 ppm) and broken rice (19.7 ppm). Most of the concentrates had higher amount of Fe and Mn compared to the critical level.

description: Nomia (Acunomia) tetrazonata Cockerell, 1910
[Holotype: USNM; ♂ Globe, Gila Co., Arizona, USA; July 25, 1892]
Nomia tetrazonata is widely distributed in the southwestern USA and northern Mexico. EMEC reports 13 preserved specimens collected in the Gulf Coast in August 1966, and the Baja California Mountains in Sierra San Pedro Mártir in May 1958 (GBIF 2023). We reviewed 10 specimens (6 ♂, 4 ♀) collected in the Lower Colorado Desert, Central Desert, Gulf Coast and Cape Mountains vouchered in CASC (Supplementary material 1). The CARCIB team collected this species in the Central Desert (17 ♀, 1 ♂) between November 2015 and May 2019, Gulf Coast (4 ♀) in September 2016, and October 2017, and Sarcocaulescent Shrubland (3 ♀) in June, October 2017 and March 2019. Additionally, the BBPT collected one male in the Central Desert in April 2023 (MABC). See fig. 188.

description: This study examines the association of livelihood dynamics of rural households in Ethiopia with rainfall conditions and socio-economic characteristics, using a 15-year panel data set. We employed fixed and random-effect conditional logit models to explain household decision-making processes regarding livelihood strategies. Our finding shows that participation of rural households in non-farm livelihoods has been increasing over the years but with great fluctuations. We also found that rainfall conditions during the main rainy season negatively and significantly affect household decisions to pursue non-farm livelihoods. The motivation of farm households to diversify into non-farm livelihoods is mainly driven by low-performance farming outcomes as well as demographic characteristics (specifically adult household size, human capital and education) and degree of access to financial schemes. These findings suggest policy implications for increasing access to financial schemes and improving household-member skills through vocational training and education to enable them to engage in high-return and profitable non-farm livelihoods.

description: Increasing block pricing schemes represent difficulties for applied researchers who try to recover demand parameters, in particular, price and income elasticities. The Mexican residential electricity tariff structure is amongst the most intricate around the globe. In this paper, we estimate the residential electricity demand and use the corresponding structural parameter estimates to simulate an energy efficiency improvement scenario, as suggested by the Energy Transition Law of December 2015. The simulated program consists of a massive replacement of electric appliances (air conditioners, fans, refrigerators, washing machines, and light-bulbs) for more energy-efficient units. The main empirical findings are the following: overall residential electricity consumption decreases 8.9% and the associated expenditure falls 11.1%. Additionally, the electricity subsidy decreases 360 million of USD per year and there is an annual cut in CO2 emissions of 3.5 million of tons.

description: It has been observed in several recent works that, for some classes of linear time-delay systems, spectral values of maximal multiplicity are dominant, a property known as multiplicity-induced-dominancy (MID). This paper starts the investigation of whether MID holds for delay differential-algebraic systems by considering a single-delay system composed of two scalar equations. After motivating this problem and recalling some recent results for retarded delay differential equations, we prove that the MID property holds for the delay differential-algebraic system of interest and present some applications.

Overcoming Quantum Noise in Optical Fibers

description: Noise in optical Telecom fibers is an important limitation on optical quantum data transmission. Unfortunately, the classically successful amplifiers (such as EDFA) cannot be used in quantum communication because of the no-cloning theorem. We propose a simple method to reduce quantum noise: the insertion of phase-shifters and/or beam-splitters at regular distance intervals into a fiber. We analyze in detail the case of qubits encoded into polarization states of low-intensity light, which is of central importance to various quantum information tasks, such as quantum cryptography and communication. We discuss the experimental feasibility of our scheme and propose a simple experiment to test our method.

description: Women traumatized by sexual abuse as children or adults experience psychological disorders, such as post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and social adjustment. The published research includes a broad array of studies on psychological interventions intended to ease their symptoms. This study systematically examined the specific effects of psychological interventions for women traumatized by sexual abuse and statistically evaluated interventions by calculating effect sizes in a meta-analysis. A literature search was conducted of electronic databases of journals, gray literature and Clinical Research Information Service. Medical Subject Heading terminology, text words, and logical operators were applied, and 2,029 articles published in English or Korean were retrieved. Inclusion criteria were full-text articles on randomized controlled trials in which: (1) the subjects were women 18 years or older who had been sexually assaulted or raped; (2) all types of exclusively psychological treatment were used; (3) comparisons were mediated or routinely managed without psychosomatic treatment; (4) interventions did not target patients with chronic mental illnesses or neurocognitive dysfunctions; and (5) the studies were not on animals, empirical research, cohorts, research protocols, or integrated literature reviews. Ten articles fully met the inclusion criteria. The main findings were: (1) interventions had long-term effects on post-traumatic stress reduction, (2) effects on depression were effective only 3 months post-intervention, and (3) there were no follow-up effects on anxiety reduction or social adjustment improvement. The types of therapeutic intervention, delivery mode, number and duration of sessions, and number of weeks varied.

description: In response to threats from climate change, such as an increased likelihood of droughts and insect outbreaks, significant investments in forestry genomics research have been made. The main advantage of genomic technology is that it greatly reduces the amount of R&D time to come up with a new product, and it is much more precise than traditional breeding techniques. However, the technology also comes with higher upfront R&D costs. Thus, whether the research effort would result in a worthwhile use of scarce research resources remains unknown. To help quantify the economic effect, we assess the welfare consequences of the forestry genomic research by estimating a timber supply model and a dynamic global forest products trade model. Using the forest industry of Alberta as our empirical setting, we find that the research program can yield an increase in total economic surplus of 400 million CAD in present value and the benefit-cost ratio of the research program is 43.9, indicating that more resources can be allocated advantageously to genomics-assisted tree breeding programs. The findings provide a justification for adopting genomic technology in the forestry sector and are useful in supporting genomics-enhanced reforestation policies and investment decisions.

description: Are public and private standards affecting farmer knowledge and moving farm practices toward food safety and environmental sustainability in China? We surveyed a total of 355 apple farmers, involved in chains supplying a diversity of retailing points, including supermarkets. Using a multivariate regression model, we find no measurable evidence that the certification schemes of farm bases and agribusiness companies lead to improved apple growers knowledge regarding pest and disease management. The observed behavioral changes are mainly prompted by delegated decision-making towards leaders of farm bases, which raises questions on the long-term changes in farmers practices and on the fundamental values and ethics of China s agrofood system that is governed through the standards.

description: We study the decays B+ -> etac K+ and B0 -> etac K0, where the etac is reconstructed in the Ks K+ pi- and K+ K- pi0 decay modes. Results are based on a sample of 86 million BBbar pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the SLAC e+e- B Factory. We measure the branching fractions BR(B+ -> etac K+) = (1.34 +/- 0.09 +/- 0.13 +/- 0.41) x 10^{-3} and BR(B0 -> etac K0) = (1.18 +/- 0.16 +/- 0.13 +/- 0.37) x 10^{-3}, where the first error is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third reflects the etac branching fraction uncertainty. In addition, we search for B -> etac K events with etac -> 2(K+K-) and etac -> phi phi and determine the etac decay branching fraction ratios BR(etac -> 2(K+K-))/BR(etac -> K Kbar pi) = (2.3 +/- 0.7 +/- 0.6) x 10^{-2} and BR(etac -> phi phi)/BR(etac -> K Kbar pi) = (5.5 +/- 1.4 +/- 0.5) x 10^{-2}.
