Lameness and pain in dairy cows
Creators: name: Sedlbauer, Mitja
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Pain associated with the injuries of hoof and surrounding tissues is an important cause of lameness. However, this condition can also be caused by non-painful changes of the locomotion system. The objective of this study was to detect the attributes of impaired gait that are associated with pain. Gait was evaluated using a subjective scoring system and objective kinematic measures, while putative pain was controlled with the known analgesic, ketoprofen. Lactating Holstein cows (n=27), diagnosed with lameness were divided into 3 groups. Each group was assigned a different dose of ketoprofen (0, 1.5, and 3.0 mg/ kg BM). The experimental period lasted 9 d and was divided into 3 phases: before, during and after treatment, each phase lasting for 3 d. During treatment cows were treated with the IV injections of assigned dose of ketoprofen. On each day of the experiment the cows' gait was recorded and video clips were analyzed using both subjective and objective methods. Subjective assessment of gait included evaluation of overall gait score and gait attributes including head bob, tracking-up, back arch and reluctance to bear weight. Kinematic measurements included stride length, maximum stride height, stride duration and hoof speed. Results of subjective gait assessment showed an improvement in overall gait score and tracking-up in cows receiving the analgesic. Kinematic analysis of gait revealed time trends for all kinematic measurements throughout the experimental period hindering the analysis of the analgesic effects. In conclusion, pain affected lameness attributes, specifically overall gait score and trackingup. Kinematic methods may provide a sensitive method of detecting other changes in gait.

description: {We present, for the first time, photometric and kinematical evidence, obtained with FORS2 on the VLT, for the existence of kinematically decoupled cores (KDCs) in two dwarf elliptical galaxies; FS76 in the NGC5044 group and FS373 in the NGC3258 group. Both kinematically peculiar subcomponents rotate in the same sense as the main body of their host galaxy but betray their presence by a pronounced bump in the rotation velocity profiles at a radius of about 1". The KDC in FS76 rotates at 10+/-3km/s, with the host galaxy rotating at 15+/-6km/s; the KDC in FS373 has a rotation velocity of 6+/-2km/s while the galaxy itself rotates at 20+/-5km/s. FS373 has a very complex rotation velocity profile with the velocity changing sign at 1.5 R_e. The velocity and velocity dispersion profiles of FS76 are asymmetric at larger radii. This could be caused by a past gravitational interaction with the giant elliptical NGC5044, which is at a projected distance of 50kpc. We argue that these decoupled cores are most likely not produced by mergers in a group or cluster environment because of the prohibitively large relative velocities. A plausible alternative is offered by flyby interactions between a dwarf elliptical or its disky progenitor and a massive galaxy. The tidal forces during an interaction at the relative velocities and impact parameters typical for a group environment exert a torque on the dwarf galaxy that, according to analytical estimates, transfers enough angular momentum to its stellar envelope to explain the observed peculiar kinematics.

Landscape

description: The past few years have seen a tremendous change in information production and growth with new knowledge disciplines added into academics. With journal subscription costs increasing at 8-10% annually (Miller 2015), libraries worldwide are finding it difficult to sustain subscription costs to scholarly material. On the other hand, making information and data available in interoperable electronic formats freely is a concept that is gaining momentum and OA (Open Access) holds promise to remove both price and permission barriers to scientific communication with the help of the internet. Scientists, policymakers, NGOs, government agencies and librarians are also collaborating together for OA implementation and making knowledge affordable to all. OA journals play a key role in making scholarly material immediately available on the internet. Introduction The OA movement in India started by advocates like Subbiah Arunachalam is more than a decade old. It is now gaining momentum with various organizations and departments under the Government of India such as the DBT (Department of Biotechnology) and DST (Department of Science and Technology) adopting OA policies in 2014. However, there is a long way to go as India does not have a national OA mandate for public-funded research. Few universities and institutions in this region have adopted an OA mandate on university-funded research. It seems that while the awareness about making research outputs publicly available has certainly increased within academia, the steep increase in the number of questionable journal publishers around the world has created a misunderstanding about the credibility and value of adopting the OA publishing route. This paper attempts to provide an account of the changing landscape of OA in India and proposes recommendations that can be taken to improve the adoption of OA in India.

description: Using the second flow - the Derivative Reaction-Diffusion system, and the third one of the dissipative SL(2,R) Kaup-Newell hierarchy, we show that the product of two functions, satisfying those systems is a solution of the modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation in 2+1 dimension with negative dispersion (MKP-II). We construct Hirota's bilinear representation for both flows and combine them together as the bilinear system for MKP-II. Using this bilinear form we find one and two soliton solutions for the MKP-II. For special values of parameters our solution shows resonance behaviour with creation of four virtual solitons. Our approach allows one to interpret the resonance soliton as a composite object of two dissipative solitons in 1+1 dimensions.

description: We numerically study the three-dimensional generalization of the kinetically constrained East model, the North-or-East-or-Front (NEF) model. We characterize the equilibrium behaviour of the NEF model in detail, measuring the temperature dependence of several quantities: alpha-relaxation time, distributions of relaxation times, dynamic susceptibility, dynamic correlation length, and four-point susceptibility. We show that the NEF model describes quantitatively experimental observations over an exceptionally wide range of timescales. We illustrate this by fitting experimental data obtained both in the mildly supercooled regime by optical Kerr effect, and close to the glass transition by dielectric spectroscopy.

description: We present long term optical and near infrared flux variability analysis of 37 blazars detected in the $γ$-ray band by the {\it Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope}. Among them, 30 are flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and 7 are BL Lac objects (BL Lacs). The photometric data in the optical (BVR) and infrared (JK) bands were from the Small and Moderate Aperture Research Telescope System acquired between 2008$-$2018. From cross-correlation analysis of the light curves at different wavelengths, we did not find significant time delays between variations at different wavelengths, except for three sources, namely PKS 1144$-$379, PKS B1424$-$418 and 3C 273. For the blazars with both B and J-band data, we found that in a majority of FSRQs and BL Lacs, the amplitude of variability ($σ_m$) in the J-band is larger than B-band consistent with the dominance of the non-thermal jet over the thermal accretion disc component. Considering FSRQs and BL Lacs as a sample, there are indications of $σ_m$ to increase gradually towards longer wavelengths in both, however, found to be statistically significant only between B and J-bands in FSRQs. In the B$-$J v/s J colour magnitude diagram, we noticed complicated spectral variability patterns. Most of the objects showed a redder when brighter (RWB) behaviour. Few objects showed a bluer when brighter (BWB) trend, while in some objects both BWB and RWB behaviours were noticed. These results on flux and colour characteristics indicate that the jet emission of FSRQs and BL Lacs is indistinguishable.

description: We present a new calculation of the first Gegenbauer moment $a_1^K$ of the kaon light-cone distribution amplitude. This moment is determined by the difference between the average momenta of strange and nonstrange valence quarks in the kaon. To calculate $a_1^K$, QCD sum rule for the diagonal correlation function of local and nonlocal axial-vector currents is used. Contributions of condensates up to dimension six are taken into account, including $O(α_s)$-corrections to the quark-condensate term. We obtain $a_1^K=0.05\pm 0.02$, differing by the sign and magnitude from the recent sum-rule estimate from the nondiagonal correlation function of pseudoscalar and axial-vector currents. We argue that the nondiagonal sum rule is numerically not reliable. Furthermore, an independent indication for a positive $a_1^K$ is given, based on the matching of two different light-cone sum rules for the $K\toπ$ form factor. With the new interval of $a_1^K$ we update our previous numerical predictions for SU(3)-violating effects in $B_{(s)}\to K$ form factors and charmless (B) decays.

According to such results we obtain two alternative descriptions of a quantum optical physical system, in the realm of quaternionic quantum mechanics, while no alternative can exist in complex quantum mechanics, and we discuss some differences between them.

Internal Market Orientation and Customer Orientation: Effects on Service Employees and Customer Experience
Creators: name: Simakova, Elizaveta
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2025

description: This thesis investigates the relationship between internal market orientation (IMO), customer orientation of service employees (COSE), and customer experience (CX) in the context of hospitality industry. Drawing on social exchange theory and equity theory, this research examines how employee-oriented practices, such as support, communication, and work-family balance affect employee behaviour and subsequently the experience of the customer. Combining organisational and customer perspectives, a conceptual framework linking IMO, CX, and COSE was developed, addressing gaps in existing research.

This thesis, guided by the pragmatic approach, employs fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to empirically examine the links between IMO and COSE, as well as COSE and CX in the context of independent cafes. The findings show that no single dimension of IMO is sufficient for achieving customer-oriented behaviours in service employees, highlighting that an integrative approach is needed to enhance COSE. The results show that achieving the desired customer-oriented behaviours is impossible without establishing a high level of internal communication. Using fsQCA, this research provides two pathways of how COSE can be achieved through IMO dimensions. The same quantitative method was applied to examine the causal links between COSE and CX. The results show the need for holistic approach when aiming to enhance CX, as no single COSE factor alone was enough for providing great experience. Social skills were found to be the crucial element for enabling high levels of CX in the context of this study. The fsQCA results offer two distinct pathways of achieving high levels of CX through COSE. The use of fsQCA, a relatively novel methodological approach is this field, offers nuanced and actionable insights into the causal combinations between internal practices, employee behaviours and experience of the customer.

By combining internal organisational practices and customer perspectives, this thesis deepens the understanding of the consequences of employee-oriented management approach, providing valuable theoretical and practical implications.

description: TRIM44 has oncogenic roles in various cancers. However, TRIM44 expression andits function in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are still unknown. Here in this study, weinvestigated the clinical significance of TRIM44 and its biological function in RCC.TRIM44 overexpression was significantly associated with clinical M stage, histologictype (clear cell) and presence of lymphatic invasion (P = .047, P = .005, and P = .028,respectively). Moreover, TRIM44 overexpression was significantly associated withpoor prognosis in terms of cancer-specific survival (P = .019). Gain-of-function andloss-of-function studies using TRIM44 and siTRIM44 transfection showed thatTRIM44 promotes cell proliferation and cell migration in two RCC cell lines, Caki1and 769P. To further investigate the role of TRIM44 in RCC, we performed integratedmicroarray analysis in Caki1 and 769P cells and explored the data in the Oncominedatabase. Interestingly, FRK was identified as a promising candidate target gene ofTRIM44, which was downregulated in RCC compared with normal renal tissues. Wefound that cell proliferation was inhibited by TRIM44 knockdown and then recoveredby siFRK treatment. Taken together, the present study revealed the associationbetween high expression of TRIM44 and poor prognosis in RCC patients and thatTRIM44 promotes cell proliferation by regulating FRK.

The separation of stars into different populations has been carried out by their spatial distribution. The new approach reveals that model parameters are absolute magnitude dependent. The scale height for thin disk decreases monotonously from absolutely bright to absolutely faint stars in a range 265-495 pc, but there is a discontunity at the absolute magnitude $M(g^{'})=10$ where the squared secans hiperbolicus density law replaces the exponential one.

description: Frailty is a concept that is emerging as an important tool in the preoperative assessment of patients. The incidence of frailty in vascular surgery patients is high and is expected to increase concomitantly with the aging of the population. The identification of these patients and their optimization in the perioperative period can lead to an improvement in their outcomes with a reduction in morbidity and mortality. In this narrative review we address the concept of frailty applied to vascular surgery patients as well as assessment tools for its evaluation. This review focus not only on the most utilized evaluation tools but also on the most recent and specific frailty evaluation instruments that are suitable for vascular surgery patients. Furthermore, we review patient optimization strategies to improve perioperative outcomes.

description: We focus on determining the impacts of government programs on farms’ technical inefficiency levels. We use Kumbhakar’s stochastic frontier model that accounts for both production risks and risk preferences. Our theoretical framework shows that decoupled government transfers are likely to increase (decrease) DARA (IARA) farmers’ production inefficiencies if variable inputs are risk decreasing. However, the impacts of decoupled payments cannot be anticipated if variable inputs are risk increasing. We use farm-level data collected in Kansas to illustrate the model.
Fishtailing
Creators: name: Phillips, Wendy Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Fishtailing is a young adult narrative in free verse poetry in six voices. Set in Vancouver, B.C., it is the story of four teens who navigate the complexity of modern high school as well as their own inner mysteries. Against the backdrop of a high school season and a poetry unit in English class, the four are caught in a web of past torments, present conflicts and future dreams. When their interaction touches secrets, the explosion of passion and violence transforms them all. When Natalie arrives at the school, she causes ripples in the smooth surface of the high school. A troubled soul with self-destructive habits, Natalie attaches herself to Tricia. Tricia is alienated from her newly reconstructed, allwhite family, and her habitual compliance is wearing thin. Tricia's need to be chosen makes her vulnerable to Natalie's influence, and her changing image makes her at the same time more confident and more fragile. Kyle is a talented mechanic and reluctant poet who learns that words help him not only connect with Tricia, the girl he can't stop thinking about, but also discover his own voice. Kyle's science partner, and Natalie's other target is Miguel, a traumatized refugee from a civil war in Central America. The loss of his parents leaves Miguel withdrawn and isolated in the hustle of a modern multicultural Canadian high school. At home, his uncle and cousin support the armed struggle, while he struggles with his own reactions to the violence. At school, Miguel is drawn out of his isolation into the mainstream of the school social scene, and into tragedy. The four play out their fragmented roles, interconnected by their passions and their misunderstandings, and observed by their detached poetry teacher and compassionate but ineffectual counsellor. As the web of events rises to a climax, Natalie's dark secrets and Miguel's deep, unresolved grief leave them broken; for Kyle and Tricia, however, transformation leads to hope.

description: Bid prices for the demand and supply of water allocations between 2001 and 2007, and average monthly prices paid for water allocations from 1997 to 2007 in the Goulburn– Murray Irrigation District are analysed to estimate price elasticities. Based on bid prices, the price elasticity of demand for water allocations appears highly elastic, with elasticities strongly influenced by the season and drought. The price elasticity of supply for water allocations is also elastic, albeit less elastic than demand. Using actual prices paid, water demand is negatively related to price and is inelastic, and appears to be most influenced by demand the previous month, drought and seasonality factors.

description: A successful agreement on agriculture is essential for an overall agreement under the WTO’s Doha trade negotiations. Reaching agreement has been difficult, and as of August 2007, much still remains to be done if a successful agreement is to be reached. We consider three of the most controversial areas of the agricultural negotiations: the relative importance of domestic support, market access and export subsidies; three market access issues of sensitive-product exceptions sought for all countries and, the additional special product exceptions sought for developing countries, the proposed special safeguard mechanism; and the domestic support issue. We show that decisions made on reform in these areas will have a critical influence on whether the negotiations achieve their objectives of promoting trade reform and reducing poverty.

Development of pharmaceutical education in Zambiahas been largely influenced by the national need for pharmacists in the healthcare sector. Training institutions offerthe Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm.) degree programme which follows a four-year curriculum structure. TheB.Pharm. programme aims to produce pharmacists with requisite competences to practise pharmaceutical care andsustain the development of pharmacy in Zambia. Seventeen years down the line, Zambia continues to advance localpharmaceutical education programmes. Over 700 pharmacists have graduated from the national training programmesin Zambia which continue to address the pharmaceutical workforce needs. Pharmaceutical education in Zambiaoffers a number of career prospects in hospital, community, pharmaceutical manufacturing, medicine regulation,public health administration, and progression to academia. Positive transitions made to advance pharmacists’ trainingin Zambia give a positive outlook for the future.

description: Investment decisions are not only characterised by irreversibility and uncertainty but also by flexibility with regard to the timing of the investment. This paper describes how stochastic simulation can be successfully integrated into a backward recursive programming approach in the context of flexible investment planning. We apply this hybrid approach to a marketing question from primary production which can be viewed as an investment problem: should grain farmers purchase sales contracts which guarantee fixed product prices over the next 10 years? The model results support the conclusion from dynamic investment theory that it is essential to take simultaneously account of uncertainty and flexibility.

The two regimes of light scattering observed in these experiments, originally described as ``Kapiza-Dirac scattering'' and ``Superradiant Rayleigh scattering'', can be interpreted as the semiclassical and quantum limits respectively of CARL lasing.

Absolute ethanol intake drives ethanol preference in Drosophila

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantitative Methods (q-bio.QM)

description: Factors that mediate ethanol preference in Drosophila melanogaster are not well understood. A major confound has been the use of diverse methods to estimate ethanol consumption. We measured fly consumptive ethanol preference on base diets varying in nutrients, taste, and ethanol concentration. Both sexes showed ethanol preference that was abolished on high nutrient concentration diets. Additionally, manipulating total food intake without altering the nutritive value of the base diet or the ethanol concentration was sufficient to evoke or eliminate ethanol preference. Absolute ethanol intake and food volume consumed were stronger predictors of ethanol preference than caloric intake or the dietary caloric content. Our findings suggest that the effect of the base diet on ethanol preference is largely mediated by total consumption associated with the delivery medium, which ultimately determines the level of ethanol intake. We speculate that a physiologically relevant threshold for ethanol intake is essential for preferential ethanol consumption.

description: Genuine savings is a conceptually valid one-sided indicator as to whether Australia is on a weak sustainability path (negative GS would warn that current welfare is unsustainable). The World Bank’s adjusted net savings (ANS) data summarise the available evidence, and by this indicator Australia is muddling along, at best. ANS misses some important pieces of the picture – net depletion of water, soil and biodiversity, and most kinds of pollution damage – and thus overstates Australia’s genuine savings performance. Weak sustainability can be promoted by getting the prices right, and piecemeal efforts are underway via regulatory approaches and resource/ environmental markets of various kinds. Nevertheless, particular resource problems – habitat conservation, biodiversity, climate change and dryland salinity – are likely to also require strong sustainability approaches. A sustainable future involves pushing weak sustainability as far as the body politic permits, invoking precautionary instruments for specific resource crises, and nurturing policy processes that encourage the consensus-building that will be necessary to get it done.
Discrete time series analysis of en route air traffic control radar and unknown anomalous sound

Anomalous sounds

description: Traditionally, en route air traffic control radar systems have provided spatial and temporal information of a particular aircraft during flight. With spectral analysis tools, a low frequency longitudinal stability and control mode, known as the phugoid, can be detected in flight path data; this establishes an additional utility of en route air traffic control radar. The method was first tested on well-documented flight test data from a Beech Aircraft Study of the V-tail Bonanza, and it showed a well defined frequency near the estimated phugoid frequency and half phugoid frequency. Similar results were found for the last flights of a Mooney Rocket 305 and a Cessna 208B Caravan. Based on the results of this study, an unstable phugoid mode may have caused these airplanes to crash. In particular, this study showed the strength of the phugoid mode increased throughout the flight of the Cessna 208B Caravan. In addition, higher order statistics were used to show the nonlinear coupling inherent in the phugoid oscillation. A surveillance camera captured a strange event outside a house in October 2003. The audio from the surveillance camera was extracted and analyzed for the spectral content. Several audible events transpired in the recording that were characterized as unknown anomalous sounds. Known natural sounds were compared to some of the unknown anomalous sounds by means of time series analysis. No definite conclusion was reached, as far as the source of the unknown sounds, but the results do suggest that the anomalous sounds do not match any of the known natural sounds

description: I analyze the determinants of county-level broadband availability to gauge the extent to which the rural-urban broadband gap has narrowed and the factors that underlie that narrowing. Using data that have been collected by organizations tracking and promoting broadband in Kentucky and North Carolina, I find that in both states the rural-urban availability gap has indeed narrowed substantially, although there appears to be a limit on the extent to which broadband service will extend into the least densely populated counties. Among rural counties, availability rates increase systematically with the size of the county’s urbanized population.

description: The quantum mechanical analysis of the canonical hamiltonian description of the effective action of a SDp-brane in bosonic ten dimensional Type II supergravity in a homogeneous background is given. We find exact solutions for the corresponding quantum theory by solving the Wheeler-deWitt equation in the late-time limit of the rolling tachyon. The probability densities for several values of p are shown and their possible interpretation is discussed. In the process the effects of electromagnetic fields are also incorporated and it is shown that in this case the interpretation of tachyon regarded as ``matter clock'' is modified.

description: In this article we are interested in the boundary stabilization in finite time of one-dimensional linear hyperbolic balance laws with coefficients depending on time and space. We extend the so called "backstepping method" by introducing appropriate time-dependent integral transformations in order to map our initial system to a new one which has desired stability properties. The kernels of the integral transformations involved are solutions to non standard multi-dimensional hyperbolic PDEs, where the time dependence introduces several new difficulties in the treatment of their well-posedness. This work generalizes previous results of the literature, where only time-independent systems were considered.

Cardiac remodeling in diploid and triploid rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum)
Creators: name: Simonot, Danielle Laurette

description: The extent, time course and qualitative aspects of cardiac remodeling were studied in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus my kiss Walbaum) using chemically-induced anemia as the induction method. Injection of phenylhydrazine hydrochloride (PHZ) was used to induce a transient hemolytic anemia which increased routine cardiac output (Q) by 20% when the hematocrit (Hct) was reduced from 23% to 10%. It was therefore hypothesized that prior to cardiac remodeling, rainbow trout may rely on venous oxygen stores rather than compensate with energetically-costly increases of cardiac output. Indeed, after Hct was held at an average Hct of 17% for up to 8 weeks, relative ventricular mass (VM) in diploid anemic rainbow trout increased significantly within two weeks and by 84% after eight weeks. Cardiac remodeling was discovered to be influenced by water temperature. While there was a disproportionate increase in % compact myocardium at 6°C (from 30% to 37%, P<0.05), a proportionate increase resulted at 17°C. Furthermore, radioisotope tracer analysis of coronary vascular volume supports coronary angiogenesis of the compact myocardium during cardiac remodeling, as a 37% increase in rVM doubled coronary vascular volume. The potential benefits of cardiac remodeling were tested in vivo by measuring maximum cardiorespiratory and swimming performance in post-anemic rainbow trout that had recovered their Hct, but retained cardiac hypertrophy. As expected, a 27% higher rVM significantly increased maximum Q and stroke volume by 60%, but without affecting swimming performance, maximal oxygen consumption, heart rate or venous oxygen tension, possibly because the hemoglobin concentration had been fully restored in PHZ-treated fish, despite an equivalent Hct. Triploid rainbow trout, which have enlarged cardiomyocytes, responded similarly to PHZ-treatment as diploids cohorts in terms of the rVM and hematological responses to PHZ, but displayed significant effects of handling stress. Their disproportionate increase in spongy myocardium and lack of an angiogenic response may have restricted oxygen diffusion to the myocardium, helping to explain the significant respiratory distress and mortality in response to handling and PHZ treatment at warm temperatures. Thus, anemia-induced cardiac remodeling in rainbow trout is rapid, substantial and plastic, where increased compact myocardium benefits blood supply to the ventricle via the coronary artery, resulting in improved blood pumping capacity of the heart.
Nonlocal evolution of weighted scale-free networks

description: We introduce the notion of globally updating evolution for a class of weighted networks, in which the weight of a link is characterized by the amount of data packet transport flowing through it. By noting that the packet transport over the network is determined nonlocally, this approach can explain the generic nonlinear scaling between the strength and the degree of a node. We demonstrate by a simple model that the strength-driven evolution scheme recently introduced can be generalized to a nonlinear preferential attachment rule, generating the power-law behaviors in degree and in strength simultaneously.
