description: Seasonal human coronaviruses (HCoVs) including HCoV-229E, -OC43, -NL63, and -HKU1 widely spread in global human populations. However, the relevance of humoral response against seasonal HCoVs to COVID-19 pathogenesis is elusive. In this study, we profiled the temporal changes of IgG antibody against spike proteins (S-IgG) of SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal HCoVs in 838 plasma samples collected from 344 COVID-19 patients. We tested the antigenic cross-reactivities of S protein between SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal HCoVs and evaluated the correlations between the levels of HCoV-OC43 S-IgG and the disease severity in COVID-19 patients. We found that SARS-CoV-2 S-IgG titres mounted until days 22–28, whereas HCoV-OC43 antibody titres increased until days 15–21 and then plateaued until day 46. However, IgG titres against HCoV-NL63, −229E, and -HKU1 showed no significant increase. A two-way cross-reactivity was identified between SARS-CoV-2 and HCoV-OC43. Neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 were not detectable in healthy controls who were positive for HCoV-OC43 S-IgG. HCoV-OC43 S-IgG titres were significantly higher in patients with severe disease than those in mild patients at days 1–21 post symptom onset (PSO). Higher levels of HCoV-OC43 S-IgG were also observed in patients requiring mechanical ventilation. At days 1–10 PSO, HCoV-OC43 S-IgG titres correlated to disease severity in the age group over 60. Our data indicate that there is a correlation between cross-reactive antibody against HCoV-OC43 spike protein and disease severity in COVID-19 patients.

description: There has been a rapid increase in adoption of recycled manure solids (RMS) as bedding in Midwest dairy herds over the past 10 to 15 years due to perceived advantages such as cost and availability. Several studies have reported increased bedding bacteria counts (BBC) and increased mastitis risk in herds using RMS as compared to inorganic or organic non-manure materials. Although many RMS dairies use either green/raw (GRN) solids or solids first processed through an anaerobic methane digester (DIG), some herds have adopted mechanical composters (COM) or dryers (DRY) in an effort to lower BBC and control mastitis. Research is needed to evaluate potential benefits and costs of adopting these technologies. This research team initiated a study to evaluate udder health, air quality, antimicrobial resistance in solids, and economics, for herds using different RMS processing methods. The objective of this portion of the study was to investigate if method of processing RMS is associated with udder health and milk production on Midwest dairy farms.

description: The importance of the end of lactation and the dry period in the dynamics of intramammary infection (IMI) in dairy cattle has long been recognized. In previous studies, gradual cessation of milking has been shown to decrease daily milk production during the last week of lactation and reduce risk of new IMI during the dry period. Although these results support the use of gradual cessation of milking to end lactation as an aid to improve udder health, only a limited number of recent studies have investigated its suitability in high-producing dairy cows. Consequently, gradual cessation has not been implemented widely in the field and no definite regimen has been recommended to dairy producers. However, due to increased intramammary pressure and subsequent tissue damage, abrupt cessation has been shown to be associated with elevated fecal stress hormones and is therefore subject to increasing concerns regarding animal well-being. The objective of this study, therefore, was to investigate the effect of 2 different drying-off protocols (gradual vs abrupt cessation) on the risk of new IMI, milk production, and somatic cell count (SCC) in the subsequent lactation, as well as concentration of fecal glucocorticoid metabolites in dairy cows. We hypothesized that cows that are enrolled in an intermittent milking schedule (i.e., gradual cessation) for the final week of lactation would have a lower risk of new IMI during the dry period, higher milk production, and lower SCC in the subsequent lactation, as well as lower fecal glucocorticoid concentration compared with their herd mates that are milked 3 times daily and dried-off by abrupt cessation.

description: Within a microscopic theory, we study the quantum Brownian motion of a skyrmion in a magnetic insulator coupled to a bath of magnon-like quantum excitations. The intrinsic skyrmion-bath coupling gives rise to damping terms for the skyrmion center-of-mass, which remain finite down to zero temperature due to the quantum nature of the magnon bath. We show that the quantum version of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem acquires a non-trivial temperature dependence. As a consequence, the skyrmion mean square displacement is finite at zero temperature and has a fast thermal activation that scales quadratically with temperature, contrary to the linear increase predicted by the classical phenomenological theory. The effects of an external oscillating drive which couples directly on the magnon bath are investigated. We generalize the standard quantum theory of dissipation and we show explicitly that additional time-dependent dissipation terms are generated by the external drive. From these we emphasize a friction and a topological charge renormalization term, which are absent in the static limit. The skyrmion response function inherits the time periodicity of the driving field and it is thus enhanced and lowered over a driving cycle. Finally, we provide a generalized version of the nonequilibrium fluctuation-dissipation theorem valid for weakly driven baths.

description: Solar neutrinos with non-zero magnetic moments will contribute to the electron scattering rates in the Super-Kamiokande experiment. The magnetic moment scattering events in Super-K can be accommodated in the standard VO or MSW solutions by a change of the parameter space of mass square difference and mixing angle-but the shifted neutrino parameters obtained from Super-K will (for some values of neutrino magnetic moments) become incompatible with the fits from SNO, Gallium and Chlorine experiments. We compute the upper bounds on the Dirac and Majorana magnetic moments of solar neutrinos by simultaneously fitting all the observed solar neutrino rates. The bounds the magnetic moment matrix elements are of the order of 10^{-10} Bohr magnetron.

description: We report the discovery of a hitherto undetected population of Wolf-Rayet stars in the young galactic open cluster Westerlund 1. Optical spectroscopy of the cluster identified 11 such objects; provisional classification suggests that 6 are nitrogen rich (WN) and 5 carbon rich (WC). Including the previously identified Blue, Yellow and Red Super- & Hypergiants, Westerlund 1 clearly has a very rich population of massive post-Main Sequence objects. To date, the post-MS population of Westerlund 1 is significantly larger than that of any other galactic young open cluster - with the possible exception of the Arches - implying that it is potentially amongst the most massive young clusters yet identified in the Local Group.

Envisioning Value-Rich Design for IoT Wearables
Creators: name: McMillan, Caroline
Publisher: name: Loughborough University
Year: 2019
Subjects: Art

description: The mass-market fashion industry maintains complex economic structures globally. In recent years, the adverse consequences of commercialisation driven by this system have given rise to innovation in production systems, material cultures, and consumer awareness of waste. Alongside issues of long-term lifespan and ecological impact of wearables (wearable technology), focus on the values and thought processes that shape practices within the clothing sector are under-represented. The integration of emerging wireless technologies in garments heightens this problem. The potential to access, collectively experience, wear, monitor or exploit personal data is only just beginning to be understood. In this paper, the author explores the role value-sensitive design [7] plays to further embed sustainability into wearables ideation. From value-sensitive design, the Envisioning Cards toolkit [5] is employed to guide speculation in the design case of Aura:maton, an Internet of Things (IoT) connected garment with an olfactory-emitting display. With this in mind, the 'social, economic and aesthetic force' [3] of fashion is leveraged as a living network metaphor, in order to frame everyday experiences of an IoT ecosystem. Exploratory workshops trace how people perceive value-tensions of wirelessly networked garments. The author's evaluations show the potential of Envisioning Cards to connect the broader social, cultural, economic or political issues as conceptual design tactics, to avoid blind spots. This paper discusses how designers could intentionally explore value dimensions alongside the technologically possible, as they negotiate material-immaterial conditions during fashion wearables development. Interweaving values into decisions of what gets made, or not made can potentially shift the unfolding of design toward value-rich, IoT connected garments.

description: Textiles have a long history of supporting personal health and wellbeing, and textile innovations concerned with the body abound. This paper delves into the biology of the body and brings to the fore its materiality as embodiment to reimagine modes of knowing in intimate care through textiles. It introduces two designerly studies of intimate care in women to advance that material engagement enables knowing and that the fabric of the body is a material of care in itself. In this paper, I embrace an epistemic practice that entwines a feminine sociocultural imaginary that challenges traditional approaches to health and care and, nonetheless, the design of textiles.

description: The weak radiative Cabibbo allowed decays D^+ -> anti K^0 pi^+ gamma and D^0 -> K^- pi^+ gamma with nonresonant K pi are investigated by relying on the factorization approximation for the nonleptonic weak transitions and the model which combines the heavy quark effective theory and the chiral Lagrangian approach. The dominant contributions to the amplitudes come from the long distance effects. The decay amplitude has both parity violating and parity conserving parts. The parity violating part includes also a bremsstrahlung contribution. The branching ratio obtained for the parity conserving part is of the order 10^-4 for the D^0 -> K^- pi^+ gamma decay and 10^-5 for the D^+ -> anti K^0 pi^+ gamma, when the effect of light vector mesons is included, and smaller otherwise. The branching ratio for the parity violating part with a photon energy cut of 50 MeV, is close to 10^-3 for the D^0 decay and 4x10^-4 for the D^+ decay. We present Dalitz plots and energy spectra for both transitions as derived from our model and we probe the role of light vector mesons in these decays.

description: We construct a generalized BF theory in superspace that can embed eleven-dimensional supergravity theory. Our topological BF theory can accommodate all the necessary Bianchi identities for teleparallel superspace supergravity in eleven-dimensions, as the simplest but nontrivial solutions to superfield equations for our superspace action. This indicates that our theory may have solutions other than eleven-dimensional supergravity, accommodating generalized theories of eleven-dimensional supergravity. Therefore our topological theory can be a good candidate for the low energy limit of M-theory, as an underlying fundamental theory providing a `missing link' between eleven-dimensional supergravity and M-theory.

description: Pathogenic variants in the WDR19 gene are linked to a spectrum of ciliopathies, which can present with ophthalmic symptoms. In this study, we describe the multimodal imaging findings of a patient with an adult-onset Stargardt-like phenotype associated with biallelic WDR19 variants. The patient underwent a comprehensive ophthalmologic evaluation, including slit-lamp examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus autofluorescence (FAF), and OCT-angiography (OCTA). Genetic testing was conducted using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The patient carried the WDR19 p.(Arg477Leu) missense variant (class 3) in trans with the c.1777 + 1delG splice variant (class 4), never described before in association with a clinical phenotype. Multimodal imaging revealed bilateral areas of definitely decreased autofluorescence (DDAF), which progressively expanded over time. Additionally, bilateral thickening of the ellipsoid zone and intraretinal cysts in the left eye were observed. Biallelic variants in the WDR19 gene can cause an autosomal recessive, adult-onset Stargardt-like phenotype. Ophthalmologists should consider this as possible molecular differential diagnosis when encountering atypical features on multimodal imaging in cases with negative genetic testing for ABCA4.

description: Postpartum dairy cows undergo a period of energy deficit that can lead to excessive lipolysis and formation of ketone bodies such as β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). Cows that are hyperketonemic (HYK; blood [BHB] ≥1.2mmol/L) are at greater risk of adverse events during early lactation. Although 300 ml of oral propylene glycol (PG) has been shown to reduce these negative effects, the efficacy of intravenous (IV) dextrose is unclear. Our objective was to investigate the impact of IV dextrose as an adjunct therapy to PG on HYK resolution, disease incidence, and milk yield.

description: Bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a common viral infection which results in immunosuppression, gastrointestinal disease, and impaired fertility. Where cattle are less than 150 d pregnant and are exposed to the virus, the fetus may become persistently infected (PI) resulting in lifetime shedding of the virus. Control strategies include testing and removing PI calves based on testing ear-notch tissue samples to minimize the risk of false negative results associated with persistence of maternal antibodies. This study aimed to define the prevalence at herd and calf level amongst 6-week-old calves from herds that had evidence of BVDV in the lactation preceding the calves’ birth. The objective of this study was to assess test sensitivity when calves are tested at <35 days of age.

description: Trapped Bosons exhibit fundamental physical phenomena and are potentially useful for quantum technologies. We present a method for simulating Bosons using path integral molecular dynamics. A main challenge for simulations is including all permutations due to exchange symmetry. We show that evaluation of the potential can be done recursively, avoiding explicit enumeration of permutations, and scales cubically with system size. The method is applied to Bosons in a 2D trap and agrees with essentially exact results. An analysis of the role of exchange with decreasing temperature is also presented.

description: Subclinical hypocalcemia, a reduction in blood calcium concentrations without apparent clinical signs of milk fever, occurs in 25 to 50% of early-postpartum dairy cows. Compared to their normocalcemic counterparts, research has shown these cows are at an increased risk of additional early-lactation diseases, including left-displaced abomasum (LDA). However, no work has assessed the association of total calcium (tCa) concentration at the time of LDA correction on subsequent milk yield and survival within the herd. Pending future development of an economical and accurate on-farm test for hypocalcemia, the ability to assess LDA prognosis post-surgical correction based on pre-correction blood tCa concentration is of great interest to practitioners. Therefore, our objective was to determine the association of blood tCa concentration at the time of LDA surgical correction on milk yield and removal from herd in the 60 d post-correction.

description: Using traditional price volatility tests, we find that the market impact of USDA Cattle on Feed and Hogs and Pigs reports largely disappeared after 2000. In contrast, using market surprise tests, we find no evidence that the impact of Cattle on Feed information changed significantly after 2000. The evidence is mixed for Hogs and Pigs reports using market surprise tests, with market inventory information increasing in value and breeding inventory decreasing. The contrasting results can be explained by increasing market concentration in cattle and hogs leading to smaller market surprises and smaller futures price reactions.

description: This paper presents the results of the EU-funded innovation action project Wear Sustain (Wearable technologists Engage with Artists for Responsible innovation) which involved a total of 46 teams in 2 rounds of seed funding with the goal of setting the stage for the sustainable and ethical transformation of the field of textile wearable technology. Looking at three of the funded teams, we especially focus on both the process of how they were motivated to challenge their own practice, but also how the project supported them in transforming it into a more critical, sustainable practice, taking into account expert consultations, network events, and stakeholder workshops. Here, we introduce the Sustainability Strategy Toolkit (SST) and Wear Sustain platform, which was built to cater to the aforementioned challenges and provide textile wearable technologists with sustainability and ethics resources, a self-assessment tool, a viable network of peers as well as thematic hubs which provided hands-on support for the teams. We argue that this platform in conjunction with the SST may provide a starting point for novices as well as experts in the field of sustainable and ethical wearable technology, and will help push the field towards a common language regarding a more responsible practice. It supports in informing and subsequently empowering artists, designers, and technologists to implement a more sustainable and ethical approach in their practice. Furthermore, we critically assess the barriers we encountered with the inclusion of diverse stakeholders, providing arguments for stronger involvement of industry and their collaboration with individual artists and small teams. Finally, we elaborate on the discrepancy of a global innovation paradigm and the everyday reality of wearable technologists (drawing from the experience of the teams involved in the project), and how this impacts further development of the Wear Sustain platform as an arena for debate regarding the transformation of textile wearable technology practice towards more responsible, sustainable and ethical innovation.

description: Perioperative administration of B-lactam antimicrobials, including penicillin G procaine, is commonly performed at the time of bovine surgical castration despite a paucity of published evidence regarding rate of bovine castration wound infections and efficacy of single-dose perioperative antimicrobial therapy for bovine castration. The best data on frequency of bovine castration complications was generated from a survey of US bovine veterinarians, which reported wound infection, swelling, gait stiffness, and hemorrhage as the most common complications. This same survey identified that a narrow majority of bovine veterinarians routinely utilized perioperative antibiotics, most commonly β-lactams class drugs, including penicillin G procaine. Increasing public demand for antimicrobial stewardship is elevating professional and consumer scrutiny around veterinary antimicrobial use in food animals. In the current climate that increasingly emphasizes judicious use of antimicrobial drugs, it is imperative to base decisions to incorporate antimicrobial prophylaxis into routine protocols on quality evidence. Currently, there is no published data to suggest that perioperative use of PPG reduces scrotal wound or generalized tetanus infection following routine surgical castration of calves. The objective of the study is to establish whether perioperative administration of penicillin G procaine at the time of surgical castration with the Henderson castrating tool decreases the risk of postcastration surgical wound infections.

description: In generic models for grand unified theories(GUT), various types of baryon number violating processes are expected when quarks and leptons propagate in the background of GUT strings. On the other hand, in models with large extra dimensions, the baryon number violation in the background of a string is not trivial because it must depend on the mechanism of the proton stabilization. In this paper we argue that cosmic strings in models with extra dimensions can enhance the baryon number violation to a phenomenologically interesting level, if the proton decay is suppressed by the mechanism of localized wavefunctions. We also make some comments on baryogenesis mediated by cosmological defects. We show at least two scenarios will be successful in this direction. One is the scenario of leptogenesis where the required lepton number conversion is mediated by cosmic strings, and the other is the baryogenesis from the decaying cosmological domain wall. Both scenarios are new and have not been discussed in the past.

description: There is increasing interest in accessing local food products through 'conventional' food marketing systems. This study identifies and quantifies key contract characteristics and buyer attributes valued by small-scale produce farmers who are currently or are considering marketing into wholesale channels. Overall, produce farmers are receptive to entering into contracts with wholesale buyers. Substantial heterogeneity, however, is found among farmer attitudes toward the specific contract terms and in the trade-offs farmers are willing to accept between contract terms and buyer characteristics. Insights offered will enable produce buyers to more efficiently target potential suppliers and will facilitate more effective contract design.

description: Type A N-fold supersymmetry of one-dimensional quantum mechanics can be constructed by using sl(2) generators represented on a finite dimensional functional space. Using this sl(2) formalism we show a general method of constructing Type A N-fold supersymmetric models. We also present systematic generation of known models and several new models using this method.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. 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.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Theileria orientalis Ikeda genotype is a tick-borne hemoprotozoan that typically causes economic losses in dairy and beef cattle in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. Clinical signs of theileriosis from T. orientalis Ikeda include anemia, icterus, ill-thrift, and death. The acute phase of the infection has been associated with a decrease in milk production in dairy cows, decreased libido in dairy bulls, decreased live weight gain in beef bulls, and increased mortality in naïve adults and calves. A sequela to acute infections within a herd is persistent subclinical infections and these have been associated with negative effects on reproduction in dairy cows and decreased mean daily gain in suckling beef calves. Prior to 2017, non-pathogenic genotypes of T. orientalis were present in the United States. In late 2017, T. orientalis Ikeda/genotype 2 was detected in beef cattle from multiple counties in Virginia and was associated with anemia, weakness, and death. As of 2020, T. orientalis Ikeda has been identified in beef cattle in 22 of 95 Virginia counties and 4 of 55 West Virginia counties. Beef production through primarily cow/calf operations is the second largest agricultural commodity in Virginia. After detection of T. orientalis Ikeda in a subpopulation of spring breeding beef heifers at a replacement breeding farm, we thoroughly investigated the fall breeding heifers. The objective of this study was to determine if persistent subclinical infection with T. orientalis Ikeda affected the average daily gain (ADG) from arriving on farm to pregnancy verification or conception rates to artificial insemination (AI) in beef replacement heifers.

description: Based on spectra obtained at the Anglo-Australian Observatory, we present a discussion of the metallicity of the galactic disc derived using Cepheids at galactocentric distances 4-6 kpc. Our new results together with previous gradient determination (Paper I) show that the overall abundance distribution within the galactocentric distances 4-11 kpc cannot by represented by a single gradient value. The distribution is more likely bimodal: it is flatter in the solar neighbourhood with a small gradient, and steepens towards the galactic center. The steepening begins at a distance of about 6.6 kpc.
