description: Group housing and automatic feeding of dairy calves is gaining in popularity among dairy producers, yet disease detection remains a significant challenge of this management system. Software programs currently aim to assist in the detection of sick calves through such methods as flagging calves when there has been a 25% reduction in milk intake or in drinking speed as compared to a 3-day average. However, research suggests that using simple deviations in daily averages may not be useful, as calves have been shown to change behaviors only on the day of illness detection. The greater aim of our research program is to determine if we can use different approaches to examine feeding behavior that may improve the sensitivity and timeliness of detecting sick calves. The objective of the current study is to identify which feeding behaviors are most different between matched pairs of healthy and sick calves, and to determine if these changes differ by disease diagnosis.

description: We present multi-dimensional core-collapse supernova simulations using the Isotropic Diffusion Source Approximation (IDSA) for the neutrino transport and a modified potential for general relativity in two different supernova codes: FLASH and ELEPHANT. Due to the complexity of the core-collapse supernova explosion mechanism, simulations require not only high-performance computers and the exploitation of GPUs, but also sophisticated approximations to capture the essential microphysics. We demonstrate that the IDSA is an elegant and efficient neutrino radiation transfer scheme, which is portable to multiple hydrodynamics codes and fast enough to investigate long-term evolutions in two and three dimensions. Simulations with a 40 solar mass progenitor are presented in both FLASH (1D and 2D) and ELEPHANT (3D) as an extreme test condition. It is found that the black hole formation time is delayed in multiple dimensions and we argue that the strong standing accretion shock instability before black hole formation will lead to strong gravitational waves.

description: Variables for constraint free null canonical vacuum general relativity are presented which have simple Poisson brackets that facilitate quantization. Free initial data for vacuum general relativity on a pair of intersecting null hypersurfaces has been known since the 1960s. These consist of the "main" data which are set on the bulk of the two null hypersurfaces, and additional "surface" data set only on their intersection 2-surface. More recently the complete set of Poisson brackets of such data has been obtained. However the complexity of these brackets is an obstacle to their quantization. Part of this difficulty may be overcome using methods from the treatment of cylindrically symmetric gravity. Specializing from general to cylindrically symmetric solutions changes the Poisson algebra of the null initial data surprisingly little, but cylindrically symmetric vacuum general relativity is an integrable system, making powerful tools available. Here a transformation is constructed at the cylindrically symmetric level which maps the main initial data to new data forming a Poisson algebra for which an exact deformation quantization is known. (Although an auxiliary condition on the data has been quantized only in the asymptotically flat case, and a suitable representation of the algebra of quantum data by operators on a Hilbert space has not yet been found.) The definition of the new main data generalizes naturally to arbitrary, symmetryless gravitational fields, with the Poisson brackets retaining their simplicity. The corresponding generalization of the quantization is however ambiguous and requires further analysis.

description: Although disbudding or dehorning dairy heifers is necessary for the safety of humans and other cattle, it has been identified as a key animal welfare issue when done without appropriate analgesia. Three-quarters of all disbudding or dehorning is done by dairy producers or on-farm staff, while the remainder is done by a veterinarian or veterinary technician. Reported use of pain control for these procedures by dairy producers ranges from 15 to 60%. Cautery disbudding is the most commonly used method; best practices include administration of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) as well as local anesthetic given as a cornual nerve block (CNB). While NSAID administration is uncomplicated, CNB application requires technical training, which may limit use. Teaching methods have traditionally focused on one-on-one training with a veterinarian, although online disbudding training videos exist. To our knowledge, neither method has been studied for efficacy. Our objective was to determine if an online, interactive module could teach naive participants cautery disbudding technique, including CNB, as compared to hands-on training.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A common presumption in fisheries science is that adult iteroparous fish, once matured, typically spawn in all consecutive years. Recent evidence suggests, however, that skipping of reproduction occurs more commonly than is usually believed. Adult Norwegian spring-spawning herring (Clupea harengus) undertake long annual migrations between feeding, overwintering, and spawning areas. Analysis of extensive historical data on scales suggested that, on average, almost one in two herring may skip their second spawning migration. Moreover, the frequency of skipping may vary considerably from year to year. Based on annual variations in skipped reproduction, relationships are examined here between the mean weight and condition of spawning herring in a given year, and the fraction of fish skipping the second reproductive season in the following year. Environmental influences on skipping are examined based on indices of annual temperature and zooplankton abundance in the Norwegian Sea. The results corroborate with the hypothesis that skipped reproduction results from trade-offs between current and future reproduction, growth and survival: participation in distant, energetically costly and risky spawning migrations may only pay off in terms of fitness if individuals are sufficiently large and in sufficient condition to both successfully migrate and spawn.

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of recumbency duration and nursing care provided to nonambulatory cows on the outcome of the flotation therapy, and to assess the physiological responses to stress related to the flotation therapy. Recumbent cows that are unable or unwilling to stand and remain in a lying position for ≥12 h are defined as non-ambulatory cows. Care and management of recumbent cattle is considered a major animal welfare concern, particularly in the dairy sector. Regardless of the primary cause, an extended period of recumbency initiates secondary damage to the muscles and nerve tissue, causing a condition described as secondary recumbency, which greatly hinders cows' ability to recover. Flotation therapy has gained interest as a means to promote recovery in non-ambulatory cows and is based on the concept that by floating the cow in warm water, secondary pressure damage to muscles and nerves will be reduced.

description: Some of the most spectacular failures of density-functional and Hartree-Fock theories are related to an incorrect description of the so-called static electron correlation. Motivated by recent progress on the N-representability problem of the one-body density matrix for pure states, we propose a way to quantify the static contribution to the electronic correlation. By studying several molecular systems we show that our proposal correlates well with our intuition of static and dynamic electron correlation. Our results bring out the paramount importance of the occupancy of the highest occupied natural spin-orbital in such quantification.

description: Lameness in dairy cattle decreases productivity and diminishes animal welfare. Alleviating the pain associated with lameness would improve animal welfare and could improve productivity and enhance recovery. In dairy cows, lameness is associated with increased duration and frequency of lying bouts, abnormal locomotion, and increased weight shifting behavior. Weight shifting between the rear limbs can be used to objectively quantify pain levels and responses to pain-relieving drugs. The hypothesis of this study was that administration of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ketoprofen would decrease pain-associated behaviors in lame dairy cows.

description: With ever-increasing number of car-mounted electric devices and their complexity, audio classification is increasingly important for the automotive industry as a fundamental tool for human-device interactions. Existing approaches for audio classification, however, fall short as the unique and dynamic audio characteristics of in-vehicle environments are not appropriately taken into account. In this paper, we develop an audio classification system that classifies an audio stream into music, speech, speech+music, and noise, adaptably depending on driving environments including highway, local road, crowded city, and stopped vehicle. More than 420 minutes of audio data including various genres of music, speech, speech+music, and noise are collected from diverse driving environments. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach improves the average classification accuracy up to 166%, and 64% for speech, and speech+music, respectively, compared with a non-adaptive approach in our experimental settings.
Properties of magnetars mimicking 56Ni-powered light curves in Type Ic superluminous supernovae

description: Many Type Ic superluminous supernovae have light-curve decline rates after their luminosity peak which are close to the nuclear decay rate of 56Co, consistent with the interpretation that they are powered by 56Ni and possibly pair-instability supernovae. However, their rise times are typically shorter than those expected from pair-instability supernovae, and Type Ic superluminous supernovae are often suggested to be powered by magnetar spin-down. If magnetar spin-down is actually a major mechanism to power Type Ic superluminous supernovae, it should be able to produce decline rates similar to the 56Co decay rate rather easily. In this study, we investigate the conditions for magnetars under which their spin-down energy input can behave like the 56Ni nuclear decay energy input. We find that an initial magnetic field strength within a certain range is sufficient to keep the magnetar energy deposition within a factor of a few of the 56Co decay energy for several hundreds of days. Magnetar spin-down needs to be by almost pure dipole radiation with the braking index close to 3 to mimic 56Ni in a wide parameter range. Not only late-phase 56Co-decay-like light curves, but also rise time and peak luminosity of most 56Ni-powered light curves can be reproduced by magnetars. Bolometric light curves for more than 700 days are required to distinguish the two energy sources solely by them. We expect that more slowly-declining superluminous supernovae with short rise times should be found if they are mainly powered by magnetar spin-down.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Quantitative assessment of the NEA cod discards during Russian bottom trawl fishery in 1983-2002 was based on database of age readings and length measurements of cod from commercial trawl catches. Reasoning from legislative minimum landing size of cod equal to 42 cm it was assumed that fish of such size are half-discarded back to the sea. Proportion discarded at length was modeled as a logistic curve and used to calculate total cod numbers discarded. Two peaks of discarding in 1987 and 1998 and minimums in 1983-1984 and 1990-1993 were found. The average annual discards were about 6 million cod, which almost corresponded to 6% of total number cod caught. Mainly 3 and 4 year-old cod were subject to discarding. A significant relationship was found between number of cod discarded and abundance of by-caught year-classes, average length of cod from trawl catches as well as national bottom trawl catches.

description: We propose a classification of thermodynamic systems in terms of the homogeneity properties of their fundamental equations. Ordinary systems correspond to homogeneous functions and non-ordinary systems are given by generalized homogeneous functions. This affects the explicit form of the Gibbs-Duhem relation and Euler's identity. We show that these generalized relations can be implemented in the formalism of black hole geometrothermodynamics in order to completely fix the arbitrariness present in Legendre invariant metrics.

In kinetic control path, lithium N, N-diisopropylamide (LDA-20 mol % generated in situ from n-BuLi and diisopropylamine) was used as the base, in tetrahydroforane (THF) as the solvent at 0°C. Thermodynamic control path was run with NaH as the base, in EtOH as the solvent under reflux status. The simple procedure, mild base-catalytic reaction conditions, no column chromatography and good to high yields are important features of this protocol.

description: Dehorning is a common procedure performed on over 90% of dairy farms. The increasing awareness of animal welfare and pain mitigation have made the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) common and desirable at the time of dehorning. Recently, a novel formulation of flunixin meglumine has been developed and approved in the European Union. This novel formulation is designed for topical application and transdermal absorption of the active ingredient. The objective of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effects of topical flunixin meglumine when given at the time of dehorning on pain biomarkers.

description: In this paper, we consider the Standard Model (SM) with one family of vector-like (VL) leptons, which couple to all three families of the SM leptons. We study the constraints on this model coming from the heavy charged lepton mass bound, electroweak precision data, the muon anomalous magnetic moment, lepton flavor violation, Higgs decay constraints and a recently measured lepton non-universality observable, $R_{K^{*0}}$. We find that the strongest constraints are coming from the muon $g-2, \ R_{μμ}=Γ(h\toμμ)/Γ(h\toμμ)_\text{SM}, \ R_{γγ}$ and $\text{BR}(μ\to eγ)$. Although VL leptons couple to all three families of the SM leptons, the ratio of electron-VL to muon-VL coupling is constrained to be $\langleλ_e/λ_μ\rangle\lesssim10^{-4}$. We also find that our model cannot fit the observed value of $R_{K^{*0}}$.

description: Lasso is a celebrated method for variable selection in linear models, but it faces challenges when the variables are moderately or strongly correlated. This motivates alternative approaches such as using a non-convex penalty, adding a ridge regularization, or conducting a post-Lasso thresholding. In this paper, we compare Lasso with 5 other methods: Elastic net, SCAD, forward selection, thresholded Lasso, and forward backward selection. We measure their performances theoretically by the expected Hamming error, assuming that the regression coefficients are iid drawn from a two-point mixture and that the Gram matrix is block-wise diagonal. By deriving the rates of convergence of Hamming errors and the phase diagrams, we obtain useful conclusions about the pros and cons of different methods.

The study is framed in the language of f(R) gravity theory in order to expose opportunity for further study in the more general theory. Exact solutions of compact stars are found under the assumption that spherically symmetric spacetimes which admits conformal motion with matter distribution anisotropic in nature. In this work, two cases have been studied for the existence of such solutions: first, we consider the model given by f(R) = R and then f(R) = aR+b. Finally, specific characteristics and physical properties have been explored by analytically along with graphical representations for conformally symmetric compact stars in f(R) gravity.

description: We point out that in the Standard Model (SM) there is no explanation why $|V_{23}|^2 + |V_{13}|^2$ is of order $10^{-3}$. A framework is described for explaining this small mixing, involving the introduction of vector-like quarks. A symmetry is introduced so that at a first stage $V_{CKM} = 1\>\!\!\!\mathrm{I}$ and only the third generation of quarks acquires a mass. It is shown that when interactions of vector-like quarks are taken into account a realistic quark mass spectrum is generated together with a correct $V_{CKM}$ matrix.

description: Studies continue to design the best vaccination programs for today's dairy herds and to maximize immune function. Designing a vaccination program involves a good history of the individual farm as well as a basic understanding of the immune system. The vaccines chosen should have good solid efficacy studies (as well as effectiveness and efficiency studies if possible) to ensure that the product can fulfill the needs of the farm or ranch. Management decisions may be made that do not maximize the potential of the product chosen and realistic expectations of all products should be well explained to the producer before they are used. The owner should be involved in the vaccine decision making process and all of the information on the product should be shared. The establishment of good baseline immunity in replacement heifers is the foundation of the vaccination program and can have dramatic effects on the health and profitability of the herd and needs to be well planned.

description: Farm income for many dairies can be improved by increasing the value of milk by taking advantage of somatic cell count (SCC) based milk quality premiums and reducing treatment costs. Recent research has shown that the likelihood of an animal to have a repeat case of clinical mastitis after a first clinical case is about 30%. Pathogen-based treatment protocols should provide a science-based process for selecting the most appropriate treatment and duration of treatment resulting in high bacteriological cure rates and fewer repeated clinical cases. Many infections caused by gram-positive organisms, particularly streptococcal species, respond well to appropriate treatment; cure rates can approach 80% or higher. Most gram-negative pathogens respond poorly to intramammary treatment. Mastitis caused by other pathogens, such as yeast, are exacerbated by intramammary treatment and others, like Prototheca species and mycoplasma, have no known treatment. Generally the normal distribution of mastitis pathogens is about one-third gram-positive organisms, one-third gram-negative pathogens, and one-third no growth culture result, suggesting that pathogen-based treatment protocols have the potential for substantial savings. Duration of treatment for specific mastitis pathogens should have a major influence on cure rates, particularly for a range of streptococcal species and select Staphylococcus aureus infections. There are also opportunities to manage chronic subclinical infections which are often the major contributors to the bulk tank SCC. Milk from high cell count cows can be managed through treatment, segregation of high SCC milk at the quarter level, quarter dry-off, and culling.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Strong deviations from model assumptions about statistical properties of residuals are known to be a considerable problem in many cases. How much the results depend on such deviations is a question of robustness of a model and its parameter estimation procedure. There are several common ways to suppress the influence of such deviations, originated from outliers in the data. First one is a preliminary correction made on the basis of statistical properties of the data by means of some statistical procedures (e.g. kriging). Another one is an “improvement' of a model-derived solution by means of winsorization or related procedures like down-weighting and shrinkage. The third approach consists in application of more robust parameter estimation procedures. Often, especially for simple models like regression, all these three approaches are implemented together, and even if initial solution is found by a robust procedure, this solution is regarded only as starting point for further analysis. In the paper the possibility to apply winsorization to cohort analysis is investigated on simulated and real data. It is shown that traditional winsorization based on standard deviation of residuals may have dubious effect. More promising looks the procedure based on modified “X84 rule' by P.Huber. According to this rule all point with residuals higher than 5.2 absolute median deviations are to be excluded. Since it is not straightforward to exclude points from catch-at-age matrix, the proposed modification consists in changing these points into “theoretical' ones, estimated in the initial model run.
Assisting Dairies in Mastitis Culturing On-farm
Creators: name: Wagner, Sarah
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2010

description: An on-farm milk culturing program can generate useful information that may be used to facilitate treatment decisions that reduce farm expenses. Prior to beginning an on-farm milk culturing program, detailed protocols must be developed that include information about which cows will have milk samples collected and cultured, milk culturing procedures, and how culture results will be used in therapeutic decision-making. Because many milk cultures result in the growth of no pathogens or gram-negative pathogens, and many farms elect not to treat such cases, a milk culturing program can result in reduced expenses associated with treatment of mastitis. Discontinuation of on-farm culture programs is common; in order to increase the likelihood of success of the program, procedures must be clear and simple, the program must be beneficial to the farm, and the farm staff in charge of the program must be interested in mastitis microbiology and have time to perform related duties. In addition, the limitations of on-farm culture must be understood and accepted; it is not equivalent to milk culture performed at a diagnostic microbiological laboratory. Proper farm and personnel selection, comprehensive protocols, simple procedures, and proper utilization of culture results will help increase the likelihood of success of an on-farm culture program.

For this purpose, data length adequacy of historical precipitation data and data forecasted were analysed using the Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator under Representative concentration pathway 8.5 and 4.5 scenarios in 2021-2040. Modified method and the method provided by soil conservation service-curve number were used to estimate (PMP) and (PMF)parameters, respectively. To investigate data adequacy, the Hurst coefficient was examined for Shiraz, Abadeh and Lar according to the length of statistical periods. Shiraz, Abadeh and Lar have the desired data with the coefficients of Hurst 0.61, 0.57 and 0.52, respectively. The results indicate increased precipitation under both Representative concentration pathway 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios in 2021-2040 for all three climate zones compared to historical data. (PMP) parameter has experienced an increasing trend in Abadeh and Lar and a decreasing trend in Shiraz due to a decrease in the value of 24hour (PMP) parameter under both scenarios compared to historical data. Given the (PMP) parameters for Shiraz region, the (PMF)parameter has experienced a downward trend under both scenarios and an upward trend for Lar and Abadeh compared to historical data.

description: Field studies of transition cow management using Transition Cow Index™ as the outcome variable have shown that housing constraints are the major risk factors for fresh cow health in freestall dairies today. Key factors to improve fresh cow health are provision of sufficient bunk space so that all transition cows can eat simultaneously; minimizing social stress or the need to establish social rank during the prepartum period; provision of soft, bedded surfaces for standing and resting; and sizing of stalls and packs to facilitate the motions of lying and rising for large, mature cows. Provision of these conditions allows caregivers to screen for fresh cows that need attention in the most effective way.

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: Veterinarians can play an important role in troubleshooting nutritional management problems on dairy herds. While nutritionists typically do the bulk of these activities, veterinarians bring a different and complementary perspective to nutritional management. Specific areas where veterinarians may become involved include evaluating diet formulation, individual feed ingredients, feed mixes or the total mixed ration, consistency and frequency of feed delivery, and amount of feed called for each pen. Dairy clients receive the best consulting services possible when there is a healthy respect and appropriate tension between veterinarians and nutritionists.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Otoliths of larval and juvenile fish provide a record of age, size, growth and development (Campana & Neilson, 1985). Although extraordinarily useful for the study of fish ecology, the scientific value of obtained results fundamentally depends on the accuracy (deviation from real age) and precision (repeatability of increment counts from the same otolith) of the age estimates (Campana & Moksness, 1991).
Generation of droplet arrays with rational number spacing patterns driven by a periodic energy landscape

description: The generation of droplets at low Reynolds numbers is driven by non-linear dynamics that give rise to complex patterns concerning both the droplet-to-droplet spacing and the individual droplet sizes. Here we demonstrate an experimental system in which a time-varying energy landscape provides a periodic magnetic force that generates an array of droplets from an immiscible mixture of ferrofluid and silicone oil. The resulting droplet patterns are periodic, owing to the nature of the magnetic force, yet the droplet spacing and size can vary greatly by tuning a single bias pressure applied on the ferrofluid phase; for a given cycle period of the magnetic force, droplets can be generated either at integer multiples (1, 2, etc.), or at rational fractions (3/2, 5/3, 5/2, etc.) of this period with mono- or multidisperse droplet sizes. We develop a discrete-time dynamical systems model not only to reproduce the phenotypes of the observed patterns but also provide a framework for understanding systems driven by such periodic energy landscapes.

Non-Gravitational Acceleration of the Active Asteroids

description: Comets can exhibit non-gravitational accelerations caused by recoil forces due to anisotropic mass loss. So might active asteroids. We present an astrometric investigation of 18 active asteroids in search of non-gravitational acceleration. Statistically significant (signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) $> 3$) detections are obtained in three objects: 313P/Gibbs, 324P/La Sagra and (3200) Phaethon. The strongest and most convincing detection ($>$7$σ$ in each of three orthogonal components of the acceleration), is for the $\sim$1 km diameter nucleus of 324P/La Sagra. A 4.5$σ$ detection of the transverse component of the acceleration of 313P/Gibbs (also $\sim$1 km in diameter) is likely genuine too, as evidenced by the stability of the solution to the rejection or inclusion of specific astrometric datasets. We also find a 3.4$σ$ radial-component detection for $\sim$5 km diameter (3200) Phaethon, but this detection is more sensitive to the inclusion of specific datasets, suggesting that it is likely spurious in origin. The other 15 active asteroids in our sample all show non-gravitational accelerations consistent with zero. We explore different physical mechanisms which may give rise to the observed non-gravitational effects, and estimate mass-loss rates from the non-gravitational accelerations. We present a revised momentum-transfer law based on a physically realistic sublimation model for future work on non-gravitational forces, but note that it has little effect on the derived orbital elements.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Here we present some results of five years project aiming to a comparative analysis of reproductive adaptations of the Far Eastern mullet haarder to new environment after introduction. In the 1990-s it assimilated and naturalised into the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. The population approached commercial abundance which provide TAC of 8 000 t in 2004. In the present, it is also catch in the Mediterranean and the Sea of Marmara. We analysed 1688 fish samples from 6 introduction area places and 2 native area places near Tatar Strait. Introduction of haarder into the low latitudes led to rise of fish weight from 0,96±0,10kg to 3,56±0,23kg and fecundity at 22%, one year early maturity and increase in vitellogenic oocytes diameters at 48.2% on the average. The spawning period began 1-1.5 months earlier and lasted longer, from April to July. Native fish ovaries formed two portions of oocytes, but only the first one developed after resorption. Introduced fish had three-portion spawning as all tropical water mullets do. Since 1997 giant nucleolus were found in cytoplasmic oocytes of the ovaries, the average diameter was 6.03-9.019 x 10-6m. Perhaps, their appearance is coupled with the changing of biosynthesis activity during the previtellogenesis and the oogenesis divergence under the contaminated environment. We concluded that south seas haarder testes have juvenile protogynyc hermaphroditism. All fry are female, two-year juveniles are hermaphrodites, later some fish become males. The described gametogenesis characteristics are adaptations to warmer climate conditions.
