description: Pricing and settlement mechanisms are crucial for efficient re-source allocation, investment incentives, market competition, and regulatory oversight. In the United States, Regional Transmission Operators (RTOs) adopts a uniform pricing scheme that hinges on the marginal costs of supplying additional electricity. This study investigates the pricing and settlement impacts of alternative reserve constraint modeling, highlighting how even slight variations in the modeling of constraints can drastically alter market clearing prices, reserve quantities, and revenue outcomes. Focusing on the diverse market designs and assumptions in ancillary services by U.S. RTOs, particularly in relation to capacity sharing and reserve substitutions, the research examines four distinct models that combine these elements based on a large-scale synthetic power system test data. Our study provides a critical insight into the economic implications and the underlying factors of these alternative reserve constraints through market simulations and data analysis.

description: Dispersal limitation, not just environmental selection, plays an important role in microbial biogeography. The distance–decay relationship is thought to be weak in habitats where dispersal is high, such as in the pelagic environment, where ocean currents facilitate microbial dispersal. Most studies of microbial community composition to date have observed little geographical heterogeneity on a regional scale (100 km).We present a study of microbial communities across a dynamic frontal zone in the South West Indian Ocean and investigate the spatial structure of the microbes with respect to the different water masses separated by these fronts.We collected 153 samples of free-living microorganisms from five seamounts located along a gradient from subtropical to subantarctic waters and across three depth layers, (i) the sub-surface chlorophyll maximum (approx. 40 m), (ii) the bottom of the euphotic zone (approx. 200 m) and (iii) the benthic boundary layer (300–2000 m). Diversity and abundance of microbial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) was assessed by amplification and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene on an Illumina MiSeq platform.Multivariate analyses showed that microbial communities were structured more strongly by depth than by latitude, with similar phyla occurring within each depth stratum across seamounts. The deep layer was homogeneous across the entire survey area, corresponding to the spread of Antarctic intermediate water. However, within both the sub-surface layer and the intermediate depth stratum there was evidence for OTU turnover across fronts. The microbiome of these layers appears to be divided into three distinct biological regimes corresponding to the subantarctic surface water, the convergence zone and subtropical. We show that microbial biogeography across depth and latitudinal gradients is linked to the water-masses the microbes persist in, resulting in regional patterns of microbial biogeography, that correspond to the regional scale physical oceanography.

description: Antimicrobials are necessary for treatment of bacterial infec­tions in both humans and animals; however, antimicrobial re­sistance (AMR) is becoming a public health threat. As a result, antimicrobial use in food animals has come under scrutiny. En­terococcus and E. coli are both part of the normal flora of the bo­vine gastrointestinal tract, with the potential to cause disease, and often serve as sentinels for AMR. Studies investigating AMR in cow-calf operations are sparse but are essential for un­derstanding of AMR in the beef industry. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess prevalence of AMR levels in E. coli and Enterococcus spp. in beef cattle of different life stages, breeds, pasture type exposure and antibiotic drug exposure on a herd and individual level.

description: Previously, a synchrotron-based horizontal proton beamline (87.2 MeV) was successfully commissioned to deliver radiation doses in FLASH and conventional dose rate modes to small fields and volumes. In this study, we developed a strategy to increase the effective radiation field size using a custom robotic motion platform to automatically shift the positions of biological samples. The beam was first broadened with a thin tungsten scatterer and shaped by customized brass collimators for irradiating cell/organoid cultures in 96-well plates (a 7-mm-diameter circle) or for irradiating mice (1-cm2 square). Motion patterns of the robotic platform were written in G-code, with 9-mm spot spacing used for the 96-well plates and 10.6-mm spacing for the mice. The accuracy of target positioning was verified with a self-leveling laser system. The dose delivered in the experimental conditions was validated with EBT-XD film attached to the 96-well plate or the back of the mouse. Our film-measured dose profiles matched Monte Carlo calculations well (1D gamma pass rate >95%). The FLASH dose rates were 113.7 Gy/s for cell/organoid irradiation and 191.3 Gy/s for mouse irradiation. These promising results indicate that this robotic platform can be used to effectively increase the field size for preclinical experiments with proton FLASH.

description: Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is a holistic approach, which promotes judicious use of antimicrobial drugs to preserve their effectiveness and availability. Dairy farm workers are com­monly responsible for disease diagnosis and routine treatment decisions. This highlights the importance of farm workers’ knowledge and skills to successfully implement judicious use of antimicrobials in livestock production systems. Knowledge gaps in animal health and behavior have been recognized be­fore as an important reason to provide training to farm work­ers. A better understanding of cattle sickness behavior will improve early identification of clinical signs of disease and im­prove treatment success. The main objective of this project was to develop and implement an on-farm educational training pro­gram for farm workers in antimicrobial stewardship in adult dairy cattle.

description: The dehorning of dairy calves is a painful procedure routinely done in commercial production systems, to facilitate handling and increase human and animal safety. The American Associa­tion of Bovine Practitioners recommends the use of procedures and practices that reduce or eliminate pain associated with de­horning to improve on-farm animal welfare. This study aimed to 1) determine if the addition of bupivacaine lipsome inject­able suspension or ethanol to lidocaine would provide extended pain relief to dairy calves post-dehorning, and 2) determine which local anesthetic most effectively reduced pain biomark­ers and behaviors post-dehorning.

description: This paper introduces a novel method for creating spectral time series, which can be used for generating synthetic light curves for photometric classification but also for applications like K-corrections and bolometric corrections. This approach is particularly valuable in the era of large astronomical surveys, where it can significantly enhance the analysis and understanding of an increasing number of SNe, even in the absence of extensive spectroscopic data. methods: By employing interpolations based on optimal transport theory, starting from a spectroscopic sequence, we derive weighted average spectra with high cadence. The weights incorporate an uncertainty factor for penalizing interpolations between spectra that show significant epoch differences and lead to a poor match between the synthetic and observed photometry. results: Our analysis reveals that even with phase difference of up to 40 days between pairs of spectra, optical transport can generate interpolated spectral time series that closely resemble the original ones. Synthetic photometry extracted from these spectral time series aligns well with observed photometry. The best results are achieved in the V band, with relative residuals of less than 10% for 87% and 84% of the data for type Ia and II, respectively. For the B, g, R and r bands, the relative residuals are between 65% and 87% within the previously mentioned 10% threshold for both classes. The worse results correspond to the i and I bands where, in the case, of SN~Ia the values drop to 53% and 42%, respectively. conclusions: We introduce a new method for constructing spectral time series for individual SNe starting from a sparse spectroscopic sequence, and demonstrate its capability to produce reliable light curves that can be used for photometric classification.

description: Influence network of events is a view of the universe based on events that may be related to one another via influence. The network of events form a partially-ordered set which, when quantified consistently via a technique called chain projection, results in the emergence of spacetime and the Minkowski metric as well as the Lorentz transformation through changing an observer from one frame to another. Interestingly, using this approach, the motion of a free electron as well as the Dirac equation can be described. Indeed, the same approach can be employed to show how a discrete version of some of the features of Euclidean geometry, including directions, dimensions, subspaces, Pythagorean theorem, and geometric shapes can emerge.
 In this paper, after reviewing the essentials of the influence network formalism, we build on some of our previous works to further develop aspects of Euclidean geometry. Specifically, we present the emergence of geometric shapes, a discrete version of the Parallel postulate, the dot product, and the outer (wedge product) in 2+1 dimensions. Finally, we show that the scalar quantification of two concatenated orthogonal intervals exhibits features that are similar to those of the well-known concept of geometric product in geometric Clifford algebras.

description: A new line of thinking is emerging to link inflammation with calcium metabolism. Around parturition, dairy cows inevitably and perhaps necessarily experience some degree of systemic inflammation, but excessive or dysregulated inflammation likely contributes to inflammatory disease. Immune activa­tion decreases blood Ca, so greater extracellular Ca availability may potentiate or sustain inflammation. Hypocalcemia may be an adaptive response to inflammation. The objective of this study was to investigate a possible role of supplemental calcium (Ca) in postpartum systemic inflammation in dairy cows. We hypothesized that in clinically healthy multiparous cows, post­partum administration of supplemental Ca may increase serum concentrations of markers of inflammation.

description: As a part of society, universities are public spaces that have been transformed into an information society through technology-based communication and the ubiquitous availability of information. The future-oriented use of information technology (IT) is of existential importance for universities. The use of IT as an important tool or service provider for processing support has significantly increased the number, scope and requirements of IT services at universities. Innovations that are gaining in relevance at ever shorter intervals and the increasing use of IT at universities are challenging IT management. The application of operational and strategic planning, improvement and management tools and increasing the efficiency of the use of IT is a good basis for management decisions. Students inform themselves about study offers and services at universities, governments compare the offers and the utilization of their universities, lecturers compare university locations when appointments are made, and the location factor plays an increasingly important role for research. Comparing has always served not only to measure, but also to improve and increase efficiency. Benchmarking is a systematic method for the comparative analysis of results, which are described in standardized indicators.

 Two types of benchmarks are commonly used in information technology: computer benchmarks, which are used to measure the performance of IT systems, and IT benchmarks, which are used to compare the economic aspects of the IT infrastructure. While computer benchmarks essentially provide information for operational business, IT benchmarks aim to improve and increase the efficiency of business IT operations as well as to support strategic decisions.

 IT benchmarking offers options for analysis of essential issues that arise in IT management in the search for the most efficient IT portfolio: Which IT services and products should be offered at universities, to what scale, with which resources, and in which period of time?

 IT benchmarking should give answers to this question and improve efficiency. With a continuing comparison of IT services and IT products from different universities as well as comparable indicators and IT budget categories, IT benchmarking can be used as a method to improve cost transparency and as an instrument for management decisions. By comparing IT services and IT products, it is possible to identify best practice examples for operational business and use them for sustainable improvement. This presentation analyses the potential of benchmarking at universities and is based on a paper on benchmark as a management tool for University IT portfolios. One essential aspect is the evaluation of IT benchmarks at universities and the answer to the question whether IT benchmarks can be useful instruments to support an efficient and sustainable portfolio design at universities.
Effective and efficient techniques for contour-based corner detection and description for image matching

description: Finding the correspondences between similar visual contents in two images is a basic computer vision problem for many applications such as image registration, image retrieval, 3D reconstruction and object recognition. Even when two images do contain similar contents, this problem is still challenging as the contents in the two images might differ in factors like scale, illumination, rotation and viewpoint. Three main steps in the local feature-based approach to finding such correspondences are (i) detecting the locations of the features, (ii) selecting the local region (interest region) to build the descriptors, and (iii) building the descriptor to represent each feature. As the performance of finding the correspondences using the local feature-based approach depends on each of the aforementioned three steps, we have proposed new techniques, which are more effective and efficient, for the three steps. For the first step, we have developed two effective and efficient contour-based corner detectors to detect the feature locations. The repeatability of the proposed corner detectors is better than the existing contour-based detectors. In addition, the proposed detectors are the most efficient. For the second step, we have proposed a new method to estimate an appropriate interest region around a corner in order to describe that corner. Our method therefore addresses the limitation of existing contour-based detectors not having any inherent information to define such an interest region. We have shown that a descriptor built using the region estimated by our method performs better in finding the corresponding corners between two images. For the last step, we have proposed a more efficient technique for building a descriptor. Besides being more efficient to build, the descriptor can still achieve comparable image matching effectiveness compared to existing descriptors. We have also demonstrated how this description technique is also applied in our interest region estimation method to achieve more efficiency in the second step. According to our experimental study, the combination of our proposed techniques also achieves the best overall performance compared to various combinations of the existing state-of-the-art techniques.

description: Motivated by the impact of the phantom field (or anti-Maxwell field) on the structure of three-dimensional black holes in the presence of the cosmological constant, we present the first extraction of solutions for the phantom BTZ (A)dS black hole. In this study, we analyze the effect of the phantom field on the horizon structure. Furthermore, we compare the BTZ black holes in the presence of both the phantom and Maxwell fields. Additionally, we calculate the conserved and thermodynamic quantities of the phantom BTZ black holes, demonstrating their compliance with the first law of thermodynamics. Subsequently, we assess the effects of the electrical charge and the cosmological constant on the local stability in the canonical ensemble by considering these fields with respect to the heat capacity. We then investigate the global stability area of the BTZ black holes with phantom and Maxwell fields within the grand canonical ensemble using Gibbs free energy. In this analysis, we evaluate the influence of the electrical charge and the cosmological constant on this area.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Lameness is a major animal welfare issue in the dairy indus­try and its measurement is a component of both industry- and processor-led animal welfare audits. Although lameness is highly prevalent on dairy farms, farm personnel have difficul­ties identifying mild cases of lameness. Reasons for this diffi­culty include the time, human resources and training required to detect lameness, along with the lack of belief that early inter­vention works. Automatizing the process of lameness detection through the implementation of autonomous camera-based deep learning will provide dairy farms with an effective and easy-to-implement tool to reduce lameness duration. Combining early and accurate lameness detection with appropriate treatment protocols will result in lower levels of lameness. The objective of this project was to determine if changes in camera-based au­tonomous mobility scores could be used to reduce the duration of lameness.

The construct validity of the MMPI-2/MMPI-2-RF Restructured Clinical (RC) scales and the assessment of personality disorders

description: The current study examined the construct validity of the Restructured Clinical (RC) scales (Tellegen et al., 2003) of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2; Butcher, Dahlstrom, Graham, Tellegen, & Kaemmer, 1989) and MMPI-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF; Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008) and the assessment of personality disorders. Tellegen et al. (2003) constructed the RC scales to address the perceived psychometric limitations of the Clinical scales and to measure the core psychological constructs of each of the Clinical scales whilst enhancing convergent and particularly discriminant validity. Tellegen et al.'s project resulted in the development of nine RC scales that were designed to be independent of the pervasive influence of the first factor, more distinctive and a more accurate measure of the core psychological constructs the original Clinical scales were designed to measure. This study utilised a forensic sample (n = 83) in order to analyse the construct validity of the RC scales when compared to the Structured Clinical Interview for the fourth edition of the DSM (DSM-IV; APA, 1994) Axis II Disorders-Personality Questionnaire (SCID-II PQ; First, Gibbon, Spitzer, Williams & Benjamin, 1997) and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; Costa & McCrae, 1992). The findings for this study demonstrated the construct validity of the RC scales when compared to the SCID-II PQ personality disorder raw scores and the NEO-PI-R domain and facet scales. The RC scales also accounted for additional variance over the NEO-PI-R domain scales for 8 out of the 10 SCID-II PQ personality disorder raw scores and provided a clinically accurate profile of personality disorders when expressed in their more pathological variants in a forensic population. The findings provide strong support for the construct validity of the MMPI-2/MMPI-2-RF RC scales and the assessment of personality disorders in a forensic setting. The results also support the aims of Tellegen et al. to create a set of scales that accurately measure the core psychological constructs of the Clinical scales whilst enhancing convergent and discriminant validity.

description: Timed-AI protocols for the reinsemination of nonpregnant cows significantly reduce the interval between inseminations (AI) in lactating dairy cows. One of the most used programs is the Resynch-25, which starts Ovsynch on d 25 after previous AI in all cows, and only nonpregnant cows continue with the pro­gram on d 32 after previous AI. Low ovulatory response to d 25 GnRH administration can compromise the proportion of cows synchronized to the program and pregnancy per AI (P/AI) after timed-AI. One of the factors that can affect ovulatory response to this d 25 GnRH is the stage of antral follicle development at the time of treatment. For instance, non-dominant follicles can­not ovulate due to a lack of LH receptors in the granulosa cells. Thus, we hypothesized that adding an extra GnRH 2 d after d25 GnRH would increase P/AI to the Resynch-25 program. Our ob­jective was to determine the effect of an additional GnRH 2 d after initiating the Resynch-25 program on P/AI.

description: During pregnancy, blood flow to the uterus and placenta changes to support fetal demand. The placentomes serve as vascular attachment sites for exchange of gases, nutrients and fetal metabolic products. In human and veterinary medicine, non-invasive methods of ultrasonography and biomarkers have been described to assess placental health and fetal viability. Pregnancy associated glycoproteins (PAGs) are produced by the ruminant placenta and detected in maternal circulation. Current literature suggests that changes in circulating PAG con­centrations may be a useful biomarker for assessing placental health. The objective of this study is to determine the associa­tion between placentome blood perfusion and circulating PAG concentrations as they relate to the health of the developing fetal calf. The hypothesis states that placentome perfusion and PAG concentration will be positively correlated and associated with neonatal outcome.

My study aims to explore how the church and state relationship in contemporary Australia has been influenced by constitutional, legal and historical arrangements. My focus is on the spheres of education, the law and legal system as these are the most common areas of church-state contention. I argue that pragmatic changes to the church and state relationship are increasingly recognising the value of religious freedom but not always protecting it as an existing human right. My data comprise a sample of nineteenth and twentieth century newspaper articles, interviews with Australian faith leaders, public submissions received from two national consultations and six court cases, all from Australia. My study is a contribution to existing scholarship on the church and state relationship in contemporary Australia. My study found that from European settlement to the twenty-first century the church and state relationship has been characterised by four different arrangements: establishment, plural establishment, liberal separationism, and pragmatic pluralism. Australia has no overriding legal or policy principle to guide state limitations on freedom of religion. State neutrality as an aspirational goal is not fully realised in contemporary Australia, as state neutrality can be used as a vehicle to discriminate against some or all faith groups. Against a backdrop of increasing religious diversity, the aspirational goal towards state neutrality is not just an academic question but an every-day reality that has consequences for Australia and Australians. Two recommendations are made. First, that a range of stakeholders from faith leaders to policy makers and academics convene a national forum with a view to reaching agreement on an overarching church-state framework that can accommodate the growth of religious diversity in contemporary Australia. Second, that as part of these national discussions, the government considers the need to reconceptualise the principles and institutions of liberal democracy that are important for accommodating religious diversity.

description: Domain adaptation aims to reduce the model degradation on the target domain caused by the domain shift between the source and target domains. Although encouraging performance has been achieved by combining cognitive learning with the self-training paradigm, they suffer from ambiguous scenarios caused by scale, illumination, or overlapping when deploying deterministic embedding. To address these issues, we propose probabilistic proto-typical pixel contrast (PPPC), a universal adaptation framework that models each pixel embedding as a probability via multivariate Gaussian distribution to fully exploit the uncertainty within them, eventually improving the representation quality of the model. In addition, we derive prototypes from probability estimation posterior probability estimation which helps to push the decision boundary away from the ambiguity points. Moreover, we employ an efficient method to compute similarity between distributions, eliminating the need for sampling and reparameterization, thereby significantly reducing computational overhead. Further, we dynamically select the ambiguous crops at the image level to enlarge the number of boundary points involved in contrastive learning, which benefits the establishment of precise distributions for each category. Extensive experimentation demonstrates that PPPC not only helps to address ambiguity at the pixel level, yielding discriminative representations but also achieves significant improvements in both synthetic-to-real and day-to-night adaptation tasks. It surpasses the previous state-of-the-art (SOTA) by +5.2% mIoU in the most challenging daytime-to-nighttime adaptation scenario, exhibiting stronger generalization on other unseen datasets. The code and models are available at https://github.com/DarlingInTheSV/Probabilistic-Prototypical-Pixel-Contrast.

description: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is commonly controlled by metaphylaxis, but increasing prevalence of antimicrobial re­sistant (AMR) Mannheimia haemolytica (MH) may decrease ef­ficacy. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of macrolide metaphylaxis on 1) morbidity and mortality in stocker cattle over a 21-day period and 2) isolation rate and anti­microbial susceptibility of MH at arrival (d0) and d21.

description: The computer vision community has explored dyadic interactions for atomic actions such as pushing, carrying-object, etc. However, with the advancement in deep learning models, there is a need to explore more complex dyadic situations such as loose interactions. These are interactions where two people perform certain atomic activities to complete a global action irrespective of temporal synchronisation and physical engagement, like cooking-together for example. Analysing these types of dyadic-interactions has several useful applications in the medical domain for social-skills development and mental health diagnosis.
 To achieve this, we propose a novel dual-path architecture to capture the loose interaction between two individuals. Our model learns global abstract features from each stream via a CNNs backbone and fuses them using a new Global-Layer-Attention module based on a cross-attention strategy. We evaluate our model on real-world autism diagnoses such as our Loose-Interaction dataset, and the publicly available Autism dataset for loose interactions. Our network achieves baseline results on the Loose-Interaction and SOTA results on the Autism datasets. Moreover, we study different social interactions by experimenting on a publicly available dataset i.e. NTU-RGB+D (interactive classes from both NTU-60 and NTU-120). We have found that different interactions require different network designs. We also compare a slightly different version of our method by incorporating time information to address tight interactions achieving SOTA results.

description: Mannheimia haemolytica (MH) is the principal bacterial patho­gen associated with bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in beef cattle. Bovine Herpes virus type 1 (BHV-1) can cause BRD by itself or it can predispose cattle to BRD due to MH or other op­portunistic bacteria. Existing antimicrobials do not consis­tently prevent BRD due to MH, and do not have an effect against viruses; bovine antimicrobial peptides (AMP) have immune stimulating and nonspecific antimicrobial effects that could improve BRD control. Messenger RNA (mRNA) treatment could be used to induce AMP expression in cattle, but efficacy must first be confirmed in vitro. Synthetic AMP can be generated to use as standards when characterizing mRNA-expressed AMP. We hypothesized that bovine cells can express synthetic mRNA coding for the AMP BMAP-28 and that synthetic BMAP-28 can inhibit the growth of MH and elicit antiviral effects against BHV-1 virus.

description: Antimicrobials are critical to preserving animal health and welfare. However, the development of antimicrobial resistance represents a public health threat. Veterinarians prescribe an­timicrobials, but farmworkers are responsible for making on-farm treatment decisions and their training is vital to promote responsible antimicrobial use (AMU). This research project aimed to describe and quantify AMU on large dairy farms in Ohio and California and evaluate the impact of farmworker antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) training on those metrics. We hypothesized that farms, where AMS training was adminis­tered, would have significantly lower AMU compared to farms where training was not administered.
