description: AlphaGo’s victory against Lee Sedol in the game of Go has been a milestone in artificial intelligence. After this success, the team behind the program further refined the architecture and applied it to many other games such as chess or shogi. In the following thesis, we try to apply the theory behind AlphaGo and its successor AlphaZero to the game of Abalone. Due to limitations in computational resources, we could not replicate the same exceptional performance.

CL cavitation

description: The corpus luteum (CL) is vital to bovine reproduction and can present in 2 forms on ultrasound examination: homoge­neous or cavitary. Impact of CL cavitation on fertility in cattle has been debated. Many variables influence fertility includ­ing heat stress, but little is known regarding the impact of season and risk of association with a cavitary CL. The objec­tives of this study were to evaluate: (1) effect of CL form on serum progesterone, and (2) effect of reproductive status and season on the likelihood of diagnosing a cavitary CL. Blood from Holstein cows (n = 787) on a commercial dairy farm was collected (n = 1,062) at 39-45 days post-insemination. Some cows were sampled more than once. Corpora lutea were categorized as homogeneous or cavitary, and cows were diagnosed as either pregnant or non-pregnant via transrectal ultrasonography at time of blood collection. When adjusted for season and CL status, pregnant cows produced higher serum progesterone (6.880 ng/mL; 95% CI [6.606, 7.153]) than non-pregnant cows (4.664 ng/mL; 95% CI [4.398, 4.931], P < 0.001). When adjusted for progesterone levels and season, pregnant cows were 94.7% less likely (OR = 0.053, P < 0.001) to be diagnosed with a cavitary CL com­pared to non-pregnant cows. No difference was observed in serum progesterone by CL form (P = 0.393). Serum progester­one was significantly lower in summer than fall (P < 0.001), winter (P < 0.001) and spring (P = 0.005). Season did not impact likelihood of diagnosing a cavitary CL.

description: Our objective was to compare effects of 3 macrolide antibiot­ics used as first-time bovine respiratory disease (BRD) treat­ment on primary health outcomes (retreatment, removal and mortality) in feedlot steers. Secondary outcomes included days-on-feed, rectal temperature and weight at the time of event occurrences. Crossbred beef steers (n = 978; average body weight [± SD] 655 ± 84.0 lb [297 ± 38.1 kg]) were enrolled across 2 commercial feedlots in the U.S. High Plains in a ran­domized complete block design. Steers were eligible for in­clusion if they were exhibiting clinical BRD symptoms from natural exposure and had not been previously treated with an antimicrobial drug for any reason including metaphylaxis. Treatment was administration of tulathromycin, tildipirosin or gamithromycin, at the time of first BRD diagnosis. Linear and generalized linear mixed models were used for statisti­cal analyses with significance threshold α = 0.05. At enroll­ment, animal weight (P = 0.98), rectal temperature (P = 0.58), and days-on-feed (P = 0.28) did not differ significantly between treatments. There was no evidence of differences for any health outcome (P ≥ 0.30), nor for any cattle characteristics at the time of retreatment, removal, or mortality (P ≥ 0.15). Treatment success (steers that were never retreated, removed, and/or were a BRD case fatality) ranged from 62.7 to 64.8% between treatments (P = 0.87). There was no evidence to reject the null hypothesis of similar effectiveness between these macrolides when administered to similar steer populations as first-time clinical BRD treatments.

description:  Anaplasma marginale is the common etiological agent of bovine anaplasmosis. Infection results in erythrocyte de­struction leading to the clinical signs of anemia, hypoxia, abortion, jaundice and sudden death. Cattle that survive this acute phase or have lower levels of initial bacteremia become chronic, persistent carriers. Carrier animals serve as reser­voirs for the organism and allow infection to spread via me­chanical or biological vectors, to susceptible herdmates. The objective of this study was to report the distribution trends of A. marginale positive test results during a 5-year period in Iowa. This study evaluated Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Lab (ISU VDL) testing results from bovine cases submitted from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2022, for molecu­lar and serological detection of all stages of anaplasmosis. Cattle residing in Iowa with positive results for PCR or com­petitive ELISA were included in the analysis. The state was divided into 4 geographical districts (1 = northeast, 2 = south­east, 3 = southwest, and 4 = northwest) and the number of pos­itive tests in each district was determined. Total positive tests by district included: northeast 282; southeast 277; southwest 223; northwest 281. Disease spatial analysis mapping, based upon geographic longitude and latitude location of herds with positive diagnostic tests, illustrate progressive disease expan­sion from the southern counties of Iowa, near the Missouri border, into the northern parts of Iowa. These results suggest that A. marginale has developed a widespread distribution across the state of Iowa.

hepatotoxicity

description: Salvia reflexa is an annual forb that has recently (2021) been reported to contaminate hay and cause fatal hepatotoxicity in cattle. It is possible that prior poisoning cases may have gone unrecognized due to the lack of information on fatal hepatotoxicity caused by S. reflexa. Two cases are reported. Case 1 occurred in December 2001 in Montana, in which 30 cows died out of 105. Case 2 occurred in 2023 in Wyoming, in which 111 cows out of 155 died. Poisoned cows in both cases had elevated aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase activities with  microscopic severe acute centrilobular necrosis with hemorrhage. These lesions were similar to those described previously in clinical and experimental S. reflexa trials. Hepatotoxic diterpenes of S. reflexa, salviarin and rhyacophiline, were detected in hay samples in both cases and in rumen contents from animals in Case 2. Plant specimens of S. reflexa were collected from 2 herbaria, representing collections from 12 states, and screened for salviarin and rhyacophiline. The S. reflexa toxins were found in herbarium samples suggesting if S. reflexa is present, it is potentially toxic to cattle.

description: This study investigated DNA methylation patterns in two cryptic species (B and Q) of the sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), following the acquisition of the tomato yellow curl virus, a single-stranded DNA virus. The methylation levels in genomic features such as promoters, gene bodies, and transposable elements in both cryptic species were described in this study. While overall trends were found to be similar, specific differences in methylation levels were observed. Virus-induced differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were associated with different genes in each cryptic species and were negatively correlated with differential gene expression. These DMRs were analyzed for changes in gene expression and alternative splicing, revealing clusters of hyper- and hypomethylated genes related to virus-vector interactions, immune functions, and detoxification processes. These methylation differences may help explain the distinct biological and physiological traits observed between the B and Q cryptic species.

description: The pain that arises and is very heavy to realize is often called longing. Someone who used to be very close to us makes us feel very safe to be by his side and not want to be loose or far from him. To represent the feeling can be poured through the strings of words in the lyrics of the song. In general, song lyrics are interpreted as an element of grouping literary works more precisely poetry. This is said to be so because the lyrics of the song have elemental similarities with poetry. Poetry can be characterized by a small number of words but has many meanings. The song was written by the poet as one of the manifestations of feelings, expressions of attitude, and aspiration towards an event. The expression of feelings of a poet is usually poured out through writing, which can be called a song. Every lyric contained in a song certainly has an implied or express meaning. Not everyone who hears a song instantly can know its meaning. The process of analyzing meaning usually requires several stages that can eventually help the listener understand each meaning contained in the lyrics of the song. Songs are something that is widely heard in people's lives. The songwriter or poet puts a lot of meaning so that every listener is curious.

description: Existe inquietação perante a necessidade da escola ir acompanhando o mundo digital que, informalmente, alastra no nosso quotidiano. O desenvolvimento do pensamento computacional não tem que estar sectorizado numa disciplina, devendo usufruir de uma integração curricular em múltiplas disciplinas. O currículo deve ser esboçado em sentido amplo de modo a incorporar as motivações dos alunos e a sua identidade. A tecnologia emerge como elo de ligação entre a escola e a vida, de modo a que os alunos desenvolvam as suas competências em torno de um projeto. O projeto apresentado foi concretizado com alunos de uma turma do 4º ano e consistiu na construção de uma maquete com a reutilização de materiais, recorrendo às bases da linguagem de programação Scratch e a um pequeno robot para formular e resolver problemas colaborativamente. O desenvolvimento computacional assumiu dois vectores, o primeiro que incorporava questões ao nível da construção da própria maquete, o segundo através da criação de um ficheiro de problemas, procurando retratar de modo identitário a vila onde a escola se encontra inserida. O artigo, que descreve e reflete sobre o projeto, remete-nos para um quadro concetual que cruza um currículo flexível e integrador com abordagens relativas à importância do pensamento computacional no 1.º ciclo de ensino.

A risk venture? Investigating the “electability” challenge for women candidates in US elections
Creators: name: Saltzer, Sara
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: gender + politics + american + elections + electability + campaigns

description: “Electability” has been of great interest in media coverage and popular conceptions of recent elections, but there is little scholarly consensus on what electability is, and whether and how it influences voter behavior. This study seeks to fill that gap in the literature by analyzing polling data from the 2020 Democratic presidential primary to investigate whether voters make decisions in primaries based upon whom they believe can win a general election. Furthermore, this paper analyzes whether such decisions systematically disadvantage women candidates, which would suggest that gender bias plays a role in which candidates are viewed as electable. Using a series of regression analyses, this paper concludes that voters do in fact believe women are less likely than men to win general elections, and therefore voters are less likely to vote for women in primary elections even when they would ultimately prefer a woman to hold the contested office. This pattern of behavior suggests the possibility for an increased role of political and media elites to change the narrative around electability in order to reduce the gender gap in elective office, allowing women to run the most effective campaigns possible without having to prove to voters that they are electable.

description: Ever since the tragic events of the 9/11 attacks in New York, global infrastructures have suffered significant damage caused by acts of terrorism, military strikes, and accidental explosions. Coastal regions and critical infrastructure, including bridges, face a significant threat from maritime terrorism. Furthermore, intentional car bomb explosions in acts of terrorism and military assaults also pose substantial risks to the structural integrity of bridges. Among the various components comprising a bridge structure, bridge piers play a crucial role in providing vertical support. Hence, it is crucial to study the structural response of reinforced concrete (RC) columns under blast loading. This study involved the development of two comprehensive numerical models, using LS-DYNA software, to analyze the air blast and underwater explosion (UNDEX) responses of RC columns. The validation process entailed comparing the simulation results with experimental data obtained from previous studies by Yuan et al. (2017), Yang et al. (2019), and Zhuang et al. (2020). Both numerical models exhibited reasonably good agreement with the experimental findings, demonstrating their reliability in replicating real-world air blast and UNDEX scenarios. With the numerically calibrated and verified UNDEX model, a parametric study was conducted to examine the effects of blast loads from TNT explosive charges on RC columns. The study considered various parameters, including stand-off distance, charge weight, and water depth. Nonlinear finite element analysis using LS-DYNA was performed, investigating a total of 60 cases. The simulation results provided valuable insights and findings regarding the behavior of RC columns under different air blast and UNDEX loading scenarios. This study is particularly pioneering in its investigation of RC columns subjected to partially submerged explosions. Additionally, the response of RC columns for both contact and non-contact air and UNDEX explosions were investigated.

description: A primary goal for infrared photon detection systems is to increase their operating temperature without sacrificing performance. Auger process is the most significant component that contributes to the dark current. In this thesis a non-equilibrium Auger suppression InSb infrared detector is designed and studied to achieve the ambient temperature operation. We investigated the mechanisms that contributes to dark current and simulate the device under various conditions. The dark current is largely decreased and performance at room temperature is optimized.

description: The D1.2 report presents the findings on the development of the Collaborative Capacity Maturity Model (C2M2). This model has been designed to support the engagement of various stakeholders in the LAUDS project and allow a self-evaluation of their readiness to collaborate during the process of building a LAUDS factory. It explores the theoretical foundations of urban manufacturing and the critical role of collaboration to achieve successful outcomes, particularly within distributed and decentralized industrial ecosystems. The maturity model approach forms the core of this framework, as it is a widely recognized tool for assessing an organization’s capabilities in specific domains.

In order to gain deeper insights into stakeholders' collaboration needs, the deliverable employs persona analysis to define the present profiles. This analysis, combined with a comprehensive literature review on the requirements for effective collaboration, provided the foundation for the design of the C2M2. The model is structured around key readiness dimensions and sub-categories, such as trust, communication, and information organization, classifying maturity levels into four stages: Ad-hoc, Basic, Defined, and Optimized.

Empirical validation was carried out through a workshop that served to validate and refine the initial version of the C2M2. Feedback from participants provided valuable insights, that improved the model to be better aligned with real-world collaboration needs. The final refined C2M2 is presented as a tool for enhancing collaborative capacity in LAUDS. The model offers practical benefits, including the ability to evaluate and improve collaborative readiness and to facilitate stakeholders’ engagement, fostering a sustainable, resilient and effective collaboration. This model has been developed to pave the way for creating the desired and favorable results by raising awareness of key collaboration success factors and driving innovation in the development of improvement strategies to address areas of weakness.

description: The brain remains the key to our experiential reality. From sensory perception to an internal expanse the brain remains the hardware and processing unit. The age in which we can precisely alter the hardware with which we process and create experience is dawning. From the advent of optogenetics to the developing use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we are rapidly expanding our control over our brains. It is essential that the evolution of our understanding of the brain maintains a reasonable pace with the technological breakthroughs and human urgency. In this pursuit, we explore the emerging methods for biophysical neuromodulation and the materials through which these methods can be enhanced and/or used to develop translational in vitro models. The methods involved encompass thermal, electrical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic modulation of neurons and neuronal networks. A variety of materials such as conductive polymers, graphene, and optoelectronic semi-conductors have been utilized to harness these physical stimuli in the study of neuromodulation. Materials continue to emerge with greater precision and control over the matrix mechanical properties, conductivity, ligand densities, and nano-architecture. With environmental control, real-time physical neuromodulation, and evolving multiplexed sensing capabilities, the rate at which we can further our comprehensive understanding of neuronal information encoding expands rapidly. This review aims to provide a cohesive overview of the maturing coupling between biomaterials and biophysical neuromodulation.

description: Parallel machines have become more widely used. Unfortunately parallel programming
technologies have advanced at a much slower pace except for regular programs. For irregular
programs, this advancement is inhibited by high synchronization costs, non-loop parallelism,
non-array data structures, recursively expressed parallelism and parallelism that is too
fine-grained to be exploitable.

We present ICE, a new parallel programming language that is easy-to-program, since:
(i) ICE is a synchronous, lock-step language; (ii) for a PRAM algorithm its ICE program
amounts to directly transcribing it; and (iii) the PRAM algorithmic theory offers unique
wealth of parallel algorithms and techniques. We propose ICE to be a part of an ecosystem
consisting of the XMT architecture, the PRAM algorithmic model, and ICE itself, that together
deliver on the twin goal of easy programming and efficient parallelization of irregular
programs. The XMT architecture, developed at UMD, can exploit fine-grained parallelism in
irregular programs. We built the ICE compiler which translates the ICE language into the
multithreaded XMTC language; the significance of this is that multi-threading is a feature
shared by practically all current scalable parallel programming languages. As one indication
of ease of programming, we observed a reduction in code size in 7 out of 11 benchmarks
vs. XMTC. For these programs, the average reduction in number of lines of code was when
compared to hand optimized XMTC The remaining 4 benchmarks had the same code size.
Our main result is perhaps surprising: The run-time was comparable to XMTC with a 0.76%
average gain for ICE across all benchmarks.

title: Is There A Law of Crime Concentration for Most Crime in A City? A Multi-City Study

description: Research has continually shown that crime is highly concentrated in small geographic places, leading Weisburd (2015) to formally propose a possible law of crime concentration. Scholars have since tested the law using smaller proportions of crime (i.e., 25% and 50%), finding remarkable consistency across place and time. However, the present study aims to address an unanswered question: Can a law of crime concentration exist for most or all crime? Using crime data from five U.S. cities, this study examines the distribution of most and all crime by calculating the proportions of crime occurring on street segments. The analysis finds that the concentration of most and all crime is relatively consistent between cities. Between 44.8% and 55.6% of street segments produced 100% of crime across the five cities, suggesting that roughly half of all street segments do not experience any crime each year. The study also finds high concentration and tight bandwidths for crime thresholds encompassing most crime. The results suggest that variation between cities may occur because of differing street networks and landscapes. The findings fill in the gaps for literature of crime concentration, specifically the concentration of most and all crime.

description: Metadata is the lifeblood of publishing in the digital age and the key to discovery. Metadata is a continuum of standards and a process of information flow; creating and disseminating metadata involves both art and science. This presentation examines publishing-industry best practices for metadata construction and management, process improvement steps, practical applications for publishers and authors such as keywords, metadata challenges concerning e-books, and the frontiers of the expanding metadata universe. Metadata permeates and enables all aspects of publishing, from information creation and production to marketing and dissemination. It is essential for publishers, authors, and all others involved in the publishing industry to understand the metadata ecosystem in order to maximize the resources that contribute to a title’s presence, popularity, and sale-ability. Metadata and the associated processes to use it are evolving, becoming more interconnected and social, enabling linkages between a broad network of objects and resources.
