description: Single virus epidemics over complete networks are widely explored in the literature as the fraction of infected nodes is, under appropriate microscopic modeling of the virus infection, a Markov process. With non-complete networks, this macroscopic variable is no longer Markov. In this paper, we study virus diffusion, in particular, multi-virus epidemics, over non-complete stochastic networks. We focus on multipartite networks. In companying work [1], we show that the peer-to-peer local random rules of virus infection lead, in the limit of large multipartite networks, to the emergence of structured dynamics at the macroscale. The exact fluid limit evolution of the fraction of nodes infected by each virus strain across islands obeys a set of nonlinear coupled differential equations, see [1]. In this paper, we develop methods to analyze the qualitative behavior of these limiting dynamics, establishing conditions on the virus micro characteristics and network structure under which a virus persists or a natural selection phenomenon is observed.

description: Feynman's ratchet is a microscopic machine in contact with two heat reservoirs, at temperatures $T_A$ and $T_B$, that was proposed by Richard Feynman to illustrate the second law of thermodynamics. In equilibrium ($T_A=T_B$), thermal fluctuations prevent the ratchet from generating directed motion. When the ratchet is maintained away from equilibrium by a temperature difference ($T_A \ne T_B$), it can operate as a heat engine, rectifying thermal fluctuations to perform work. While it has attracted much interest, the operation of Feynman's ratchet as a heat engine has not been realized experimentally, due to technical challenges. In this work, we realize Feynman's ratchet with a colloidal particle in a one dimensional optical trap in contact with two heat reservoirs: one is the surrounding water, while the effect of the other reservoir is generated by a novel feedback mechanism, using the Metropolis algorithm to impose detailed balance. We verify that the system does not produce work when $T_A=T_B$, and that it becomes a microscopic heat engine when $T_A \ne T_B$. We analyze work, heat and entropy production as functions of the temperature difference and external load. Our experimental realization of Feynman's ratchet and the Metropolis algorithm can also be used to study the thermodynamics of feedback control and information processing, the working mechanism of molecular motors, and controllable particle transportation.

description: Bovine viral diarrhea virus continues to have significant economic impact on the cattle industry worldwide. The virus is primarily maintained in the cattle population due to persistently infected (PI) animals. Herd surveillance, along with good vaccination programs and biosecurity practices, are the best way to mitigate losses and production of PI animals. Two PI calves were identified in a semi-closed beef herd with excellent management practices, highlighting the continued significance and persistence of this virus in the cattle population.

description: We show that an electrostatically created n-p junction separating the electron and hole gas regions in a graphene monolayer transmits only those quasiparticles that approach it almost perpendicularly to the n-p interface. Such a selective transmission of carriers by a single n-p junction would manifest itself in non-local magnetoresistance effect in arrays of such junctions and determines the unusual Fano factor in the current noise universal for the n-p junctions in graphene.

description: We present high-quality fluid dynamical simulations of isothermal gas flows in a rotating barred potential. We show that a large quantity of gas is driven right into the nucleus of a model galaxy when the potential lacks a central mass concentration, but the inflow stalls at a nuclear ring in comparison simulations that include a central massive object. The radius of the nuclear gas ring increases linearly with the mass of the central object. We argue that bars drive gas right into the nucleus in the early stages of disk galaxy formation, where a nuclear star cluster and perhaps a massive black hole could be created. The process is self-limiting, however, because inflow stalls at a nuclear ring once the mass of gas and stars in the nucleus exceeds ~1% of the disk mass, which shuts off rapid growth of the black hole. We briefly discuss the relevance of these results to the seeding of massive black holes in galaxies, the merger model for quasar evolution, and the existence of massive black holes in disk galaxies that lack a significant classical bulge.

description: Middleboxes provide key security and performance guarantees in networks. Unfortunately, the dynamic traffic modifications they induce make it difficult to reason about network management tasks such as access control, accounting, and diagnostics. This also makes it difficult to integrate middleboxes into SDN-capable networks and leverage the benefits that SDN can offer. In response, we develop the FlowTags architecture. FlowTags-enhanced middleboxes export tags to provide the necessary causal context (e.g., source hosts or internal cache/miss state). SDN controllers can configure the tag generation and tag consumption operations using new FlowTags APIs. These operations help restore two key SDN tenets: (i) bindings between packets and their “origins,” and (ii) ensuring that packets follow policymandated paths. We develop new controller mechanisms that leverage FlowTags. We show the feasibility of minimally extending middleboxes to support FlowTags. We also show that FlowTags imposes low overhead over traditional SDN mechanisms. Finally, we demonstrate the early promise of FlowTags in enabling new verification and diagnosis capabilities.

description: Four studies were performed to evaluate efficacy (Studies 1 and 2) and safety (Studies 3 and 4) of a novel DNA immunostimulant (Zelnate, Bayer Healthcare) in cattle. Zelnate (ZEL) was administered concurrently with (Study 1) or 24 hours after (Study 2) a Mannheimia haemolytica (Mh) challenge. Holstein steers (3 to 4 months of age; n=32/treatment, Study 1; n=40/treatment, Study 2) received either ZEL or a negative control (CON) on day 0 (Study 1) or day 1 (Study 2). Calves were challenged intratracheally with 60 mL of Mh (10 to the 7th power CFUs/mL, Study 1; 10 to the 8th power CFUs/mL, Study 2) on day 0 and clinically observed to day 5. Lung scores were obtained at the time of premature death or after necropsy on day 5. ZEL mitigated lung lesions in this Mh model, compared to the CON (Studies 1 and 2), and significantly reduced mortality compared to the CON (P < 0.05; Study 2). ZEL was shown to be safe at the injection site (Study 3) and among large populations in different field scenarios (Study 4). ZEL demonstrated efficacy by mitigating lung lesions (Studies 1 and 2) and decreasing mortality (Study 2) in this Mh disease model. Studies 3 and 4 confirmed that ZEL is safe for use in cattle.

description: We run numerical simulations of the disruption of satellite galaxies in a Galactic potential to build up the entire stellar halo, in order to investigate what the next generation of astrometric satellites will reveal by observing the halo of the Milky Way. We generate artificial DIVA, FAME and GAIA halo catalogues, in which we look for the signatures left by the accreted satellites. We develop a method based on the standard Friends-of-Friends algorithm applied to the space of integrals of motion. We find this simple method can recover about 50% of the different accretion events, when the observational uncertainties expected for GAIA are taken into account, even when the exact form of the Galactic potential is unknown. The recovery rate for DIVA and FAME is much smaller, but these missions, like GAIA, should be able to test the hierarchical formation paradigm on our Galaxy by measuring the amount of halo substructure in the form of nearby kinematically cold streams with for example, a two-point correlation function in velocity space.

description: Hybrid main memories composed of DRAM as a cache to scalable non-volatile memories such as phase-change memory (PCM) can provide much larger storage capacity than traditional mainmemories. A key challenge for enabling high-performance and scalable hybrid memories, though, is efficiently managing the metadata (e.g., tags) for data cached in DRAM at a fine granularity. Based on the observation that storing metadata off-chip in the same row as their data exploits DRAM row buffer locality, this paper reduces the overhead of fine-granularity DRAM caches by only caching the metadata for recently accessed rows on-chip using a small buffer. Leveraging the flexibility and efficiency of such a fine-granularity DRAM cache, we also develop an adaptive policy to choose the best granularity when migrating data into DRAM. On a hybrid memory with a 512MB DRAM cache, our proposal using an 8KB on-chip buffer can achieve within 6% of the performance of, and 18% better energy efficiency than, a conventional 8MB SRAM metadata store, even when the energy overhead due to large SRAM metadata storage is not considered.
Comparison of ivermectin and extended-release eprinomectin deworming treatment on stocker and subsequent feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of fall-born Angus heifers

description: The effect of deworming beef heifers with either ivermectin or extended-release eprinomectin on performance and carcass characteristics of stocker and feedlot cattle was assessed. Sixty Angus heifers (610 +/- 50 lb initial body weight; 277 +/- 23 kg) were blocked by body condition score and body weight, and allotted to 1 of 2 injectable deworming treatments after grazing summer pasture for 35 days: (1) ivermectin (IVM) or (2) extended-release eprinomectin (ERE). After 63 days grazing, heifers were placed in a feedlot and fed a finishing ration for 150 days. Heifers were stratified by BW within grazing treatment and allotted to receive ivermectin (dewormed; DWRM) or no treatment during processing (NO) at feedlot entry. Although fecal egg counts did not differ at treatment initiation, egg counts were greater in the IVM group (5.138 eggs per gram) than in the ERE group (0.073 EPG) at the end of the grazing period (P less than 0.01). Heifers in the ERE group had greater average daily gain and greater body weight change (P=0.01) during the grazing period. There were no differences in feedlot performance or carcass characteristics (P greater than or equal to 0.09) between treatment groups. Based on this study, there may be no benefit to deworming at feedlot arrival when cattle are effectively managed to minimize internal parasite infection during the grazing period. However, even at extremely low levels of infection during grazing, parasites can significantly impact performance.

description: If space is compact, then a traveller twin can leave Earth, travel back home without changing direction and find her sedentary twin older than herself. We show that the asymmetry between their spacetime trajectories lies in a topological invariant of their spatial geodesics, namely the homotopy class. This illustrates how the spacetime symmetry invariance group, although valid {\it locally}, is broken down {\it globally} as soon as some points of space are identified. As a consequence, any non--trivial space topology defines preferred inertial frames along which the proper time is longer than along any other one.

description: Using Monte Carlo simulation, we studied fractionalized phases in a model of exciton bose condensate and found evidence for an emergent photon in a finite size system. The fractionalized phase is a meta-stable Coulomb phase where an emergent photon arises as a gapless collective excitation of the excitons. We also studied a possibility of spiral* phase where fractionalization and long range spiral order of the exciton condensate coexist.

description: This report provides a detailed examination of Advanced Manufacturing in the Pioneer Valley. This report is part of an eight-part series, each focusing on different areas of the Commonwealth. It examines recent employment and earnings trends; analyzes key occupations in Advanced Manufacturing’s subsectors, looking for common labor needs and comparing wages to similar workers in other industries; identifies the most common and critical skills needed by employers; and offers a detailed demographic profile of Advanced Manufacturing to highlight areas of critical concern for the future health of the industry. With over 600 businesses and 22,000 employers, Advanced Manufacturing accounts for nearly eight per-cent of the Pioneer Valley’s total employment base in 2012. The region’s Advanced Manufacturing sector is dominated by Fabricated Metals and Machinery, which alone accounts for nearly half of sector’s establishments and employment. The region also has significant industrial specializations in Chemicals and Plastics and Paper and Printing. Earnings in the Pioneer Valley tend to be lower than statewide averages in most subsectors—although they all exceed the overall wage levels for the region. The Pioneer Valley’s Advanced Manufacturing sector has suffered from layoffs and business closures over the past several decades. Since 2001, the Pioneer Valley’s Advanced Manufacturing sector lost nearly 8,000 jobs—roughly a quarter of all Advanced Manufacturing employment in the region. While certainly a blow to the region’s economy, the Pioneer Valley actually fared somewhat better than most other regions during this time. Furthermore, there are signs of recovering in the years following the Great Recession of 2008/09. The Advanced Manufacturing sector has post net job growth each year since 2010, with the regionally dominant Fabricated Metals and Machining subsector posting particularly noteworthy growth that closely matches expansion at the national level. The aging of the Advanced Manufacturing workforce poses a major challenge to the Pioneer Valley in the years ahead. More than a quarter of today’s workforce will reach retirement age within the next ten years—a larger share than either the nation or the state. But with proper training and outreach, these retirements may create opportunities for young workers, women, and others having a hard time finding a path to well-paying jobs in the modern economy. We also find considerable overlap in skill requirements across the varied Advanced Manufacturing subsectors in the region, suggesting ample opportunities for targeted training programs that meet the needs of a variety of employers.

description: We present a novel framework for the study of disclinations in two-dimensional active nematic liquid crystals, and topological defects in general. The order tensor formalism is used to calculate exact multi-particle solutions of the linearized static equations inside a uniformly aligned state. Topological charge conservation requires a fixed difference between the number of half charges. Starting from a set of hydrodynamic equations, we derive a low-dimensional dynamical system for the parameters of the static solutions, which describes the motion of a half-disclination pair, or of several pairs. Within this formalism, we model defect production and annihilation, as observed in experiments. Our dynamics also provide an estimate for the critical density at which production and annihilation rates are balanced.

description: Summary data from pregnancy examinations were submitted by participating veterinarians over a 2-year period to assess the impacts of routine management decisions on reproductive performance in beef herds. Upon completion of pregnancy examination, the PregCard was completed by indicating the number of females evaluated, number non-pregnant, female age (cows, heifers, or both), number and age (yearling, mature, or mixed) of bulls used, breeding season dates, and whether groups were exposed to artificial insemination. Data were reported by 8 clinics and included 242,967 females in 1,782 groups. Number of females/bull and breeding season were calculated for each group. Each group was also assigned to categories for females/bull, breeding group size, breeding season length, and age class of breeding bulls. Groups consisting of only cows had greater (P less than or equal to 0.01) reported pregnancy rates compared with groups consisting of only heifers (90.1% and 86.6%, respectively). Reported pregnancy rates were also influenced (P less than or equal to 0.01) by breeding group size, breeding season length, and bull age. Females/bull decisions were impacted (P less than or equal to 0.01) by breeding system (artificial insemination or natural service), and reported pregnancy rates were impacted by a breeding system x females/bull interaction (P less than or equal to 0.001). The PregCard system provided an excellent platform to gather benchmarking data and to assess the impact of routine management practices on reported pregnancy rates in beef herds in the upper Great Plains.

description: It was suggested that the massive Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons matrix model has three phases and that in one of them a non-Abelian gauge symmetry is dynamically generated. The analysis was at the one-loop level around a classical solution of fuzzy sphere type. We obtain evidences that three phases are indeed realized as nonperturbative vacua by using the improved perturbation theory. It also gives a good example that even if we start from a trivial vacuum, the improved perturbation theory around it enables us to observe nontrivial vacua.

description: We present 1349 families of Newtonian periodic planar three-body orbits with unequal mass and zero angular momentum and the initial conditions in case of isosceles collinear configurations. These 1349 families of the periodic collisionless orbits can be divided into seven classes according to their geometric and algebraic symmetries. Among these 1349 families, 1223 families are entirely new, to the best of our knowledge. Furthermore, some periodic orbits have the same free group element for different mass. We find that the scale-invariant average period linearly increases with the mass of one body when the masses of the other two are constant. It is suggested that the masses of bodies may play an important role in periodic three-body systems. The movies of these periodic orbits are given on the website \url{http://numericaltank.sjtu.edu.cn/three-body/three-body-unequal-mass.htm} .

description: The paper is concerned with distributed learning in large-scale games. The well-known fictitious play (FP) algorithm is addressed, which, despite theoretical convergence results, might be impractical to implement in large-scale settings due to intense computation and communication requirements. An adaptation of the FP algorithm, designated as the empirical centroid fictitious play (ECFP), is presented. In ECFP players respond to the centroid of all players’ actions rather than track and respond to the individual actions of every player. Convergence of the ECFP algorithm in terms of average empirical frequency (a notion made precise in the paper) to a subset of the Nash equilibria is proven under the assumption that the game is a potential game with permutation invariant potential function. A more general formulation of ECFP is then given (which subsumes FP as a special case) and convergence results are given for the class of potential games. Furthermore, a distributed formulation of the ECFP algorithm is presented, in which, players endowed with a (possibly sparse) preassigned communication graph, engage in local, non-strategic information exchange to eventually agree on a common equilibrium. Convergence results are proven for the distributed ECFP algorithm.

description: The function and structure of the entorhinal cortex in mild cognitive impairment Background: The entorhinal cortex (EC) is the first brain region to exhibit neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). As such, tests of EC function may help aid detection of the disease in its earliest stages. Animal and human studies indicate that the posteromedial (pmEC) and anterolateral (alEC) subdivisions of the EC are involved respectively in navigation and object-location memory. The advent of immersive VR (iVR) technology provides an opportunity to determine whether tests of pmEC and alEC function has value in the detection of AD prior to dementia onset. Aim: To test the hypotheses that measures of pmEC and alEC function and structure differentiate i) patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from age-matched healthy controls and ii) MCI patients at high and low risk of developing AD dementia. Methodology: Participants underwent testing of EC function using novel iVR paradigms of path integration and object-location memory. Total EC, pm-EC and al-EC volumes were segmented from high resolution MRI. A proportion of MCI patients underwent CSF testing for AD biomarkers to separate into biomarker-positive and negative groups (MCI+ and MCI-). The ability of the VR tests to classify pre-dementia AD (i.e. MCI+ patients) was compared with that of a battery of comparator cognitive tests used in current clinical and research practice. 8 Results: Performance on the path integration task was not only impaired in MCI but importantly differentiated MCI+ from MCI- with greater classification accuracy than comparator cognitive tasks. Task performance correlated with pm-EC volume. For the object-location task MCI patients demonstrated larger distance errors than controls, with performance associated with both anterolateral EC volume and total hippocampal volume. However, no difference between MCI+ and MCI- was observed. Conclusion This work demonstrates that iVR-based testing of EC function may improve diagnosis of early AD above and beyond current cognitive tests. The basis of such tests on single cell physiology and their comparability with behavioural tasks used in animal models of disease, confers additional advantages for translational research aimed at understanding the mechanisms linking pathological spread, disruption of cell physiology and behavioural alterations in early AD.

description: Motivated by the success of experimental manipulation of the band structure through biaxial strain in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ thin film grown on a mismatched substrate, we investigate theoretically the effects of biaxial strain on the electronic instabilities, such as superconductivity (SC) and spin density wave (SDW), by functional renormalization group. According to the experiment, the positive strain (from lattice expansion) causes charge transfer to the $γ$-band and consequently Lifshitz reconstruction of the Fermi surface. Our theoretical calculations show that within a limited range of positive strain a p-wave superconducting order is realized. However, as the strain is increased further the system develops into the SDW state well before the Lifshitz transition is reached. We also consider the effect of negative strains (from lattice constriction). As the strain increases, there is a transition from p-wave SC state to nodal s-wave SC state. The theoretical results are discussed in comparison to experiment and can be checked by further experiments.

description: Observation of an arched back while standing and walking is 1 criterion for assessing dairy cow lameness. Objectives of these projects were to evaluate back arch and its association with locomotion score (LS) and hoof lesions. On a single 200-cow farm, digital photographs were taken of cows with locomotion scores greater than 1 while stanchioned and walking, and analyzed for degree of back arch. One pen of cows was observed 5 times while stanchioned to evaluate "time in headlock" effect on presence of back arch. Angle of deviation from flat-back was not significantly associated with LS; however, there was a trend for cows with a score of greater than 2 to have back angles deviating from flat. The proportion of time a cow was observed with a back arch was greater for lame cows vs non-lame cows. In a second herd, back arch data were collected on 233 cows while stanchioned, and hoof lesion data were collected on 141 cows. Cows with a back arch were 2.1 times more likely to have a hoof lesion (P=0.04), and there were more cows with hoof lesions with increasing LS (P less than 0.0001). Back arch could be used as a screening test for lameness.

description: The pervasive presence in space of a flux of high-speed, electrically uncharged dark matter particles is examined here for potential consequences. Dark matter interactions with ordinary matter are considered, and a model of the dark matter flux is developed. In this model, the property of matter that we designate as mass is a measure of the interaction cross section of ordinary matter with the flux of dark matter. From this model emerge effects similar to certain quantum phenomena, and also a flux-mediated attractive inverse-square force between particles of ordinary matter. The occurrence of effects resembling both quantum phenomena and effects resembling gravitational phenomena in this model may enable a straightforward examination of convergence of gravitational physics and quantum mechanics.

description: We present a sample of 47 confirmed and 14 candidate Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) discovered in the Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology field galaxy redshift survey (CNOC2). The sample consists of 38 objects identified from broad emission lines, 8 from narrow [NeV] emission, and 15 candidates from FeII or MgII absorption lines, one of which has been confirmed as a broad-line AGN via infrared spectroscopy. Redshifts of these AGN range from z=0.27 to z=4.67, and the average absolute magnitude is M_B=-22.25. No color selection criteria were involved in selecting this spectroscopically discovered sample. The sample is also unbiased against objects with luminous host galaxies since the spectroscopy preferentially targeted extended objects. Simple color-color diagram selection criteria can recover 81+-6% of the CNOC2 AGN, but several of the most unusual objects would be missing from such a color-selected sample. In the subsample with broad emission lines, the average equivalent widths for MgII and CIII] agree with the predictions of previous studies of the Baldwin effect. However, the average equivalent widths for CIV and Ly-alpha are smaller than predicted by previous studies of the Baldwin effect at lower redshift. This may imply that the slopes of the CIV and Ly-alpha Baldwin effects evolve with redshift, steepening with cosmic time. The broad emission line AGN also show a higher incidence of associated MgII and CIV absorption than in most previous surveys. This may arise from strong absorption being anti-correlated with optical luminosity or becoming less frequent with cosmic time, or possibly because our selection method is not biased against objects with resolved spatial structure or reddened by dust associated with the absorbing gas.

description: The objective of this study was to describe temporal associations between cardiac auscultation and ECG to evaluate cardiac activity and determine cardiac death following euthanasia with a penetrating captive bolt device. Twenty-two feedlot calves between 6 and 19 months of age were enrolled. Electrocardiographic monitoring and recording was conducted using a modified base-apex lead configuration. Cardiac death was defined as ventricular standstill and occurred when ventricular electrical activity ceased. Clinical cardiac death was defined as the absence of an auscultable and rhythmic heartbeat, and was assessed immediately following the final captive bolt administration and again at 1-minute intervals for a minimum of 10 minutes post-captive bolt administration. Discernable cardiac activity was demonstrated for an average of 513.35 seconds (8 minutes 34 seconds) post-captive bolt administration. Clinical cardiac death and ventricular standstill occurred within the same 60-second measurement in 33% (7/21) of calves. Thus, approximately 70% of calves were assumed to be deceased based on clinical cardiac parameters prior to ventricular standstill.

description: A randomized, controlled field study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of various management regimens using a pentavalent modified-live virus (MLV) respiratory vaccine containing bovine herpesvirus-1, bovine viral diarrhea virus types 1 and 2, parainfluenza-3 virus, and bovine respiratory syncytial virus. Crossbred beef calves (n=370) weighing 466 +/- 5.5 lb (212 +/- 2.5 kg) were acquired from auction markets. Calves were stratified by castrate status on arrival and assigned randomly to 1 of 3 experimental treatments: (1) initial MLV vaccine on day 0 (AMLV), (2) initial MLV vaccine on day 14 (DMLV), or (3) no vaccination with MLV vaccine until the end of the 42-day receiving period (NMLV). Least-squares means were evaluated using the contrasts: (1) vaccinated (VAC) vs NMLV, and (2) AMLV vs DMLV. Body weight was recorded on days 0, 14, 28, 42, and at the end of the grazing period, and health was monitored daily. Average daily gain was greater for DMLV vs AMLV from days 14 to 28 (P less than 0.01), and VAC vs NMLV from days 28 to 42 (P=0.04). However, performance was not different (P greater than or equal to 0.16) between VAC and NMLV from days 0 to 42. The overall incidence of clinical bovine respiratory disease did not differ (P greater than or equal to 0.82); however, there was a tendency (P=0.08) for increased relapse rate in NMLV calves compared to VAC. Results suggest that MLV vaccine administered to high-risk stacker calves on day 0 or 14 may reduce relapse rate; whereas, gain was reduced transiently when MLV vaccine was administered at day 0.
