description: We have carried out observations of the X-ray transient GX339-4 during its high-soft and low-hard X-ray spectral states. Our high-resolution spectroscopic observation in 1999 April suggests that the H-alpha line has a single-peaked profile in the low-hard state as speculated in our previous paper. The HeII 4686 line, however, has a double-peaked profile in both the high-soft and low-hard states. This suggests that the line-emission mechanism is different in the two states. Our interpretation is that double-peaked lines are emitted from a temperature-inversion layer on the accretion-disk surface when it is irradiatively heated by soft X-rays. Single-peaked lines may be emitted from outflow/wind matter driven by hard X-ray heating. We have constructed a simple plane-parallel model and we use it to illustrate that a temperature-inversion layer can be formed at the disk surface under X-ray illumination. We also discuss the conditions required for the formation of temperature inversion and line emission. Based on the velocity separations measured for the double-peaked lines in the high-soft state, we propose that GX339-4 is a low-inclination binary system. The orbital inclination is about 15 deg if the orbital period is 14.8 hours.

A Screening test for production evaluation in dairy herds.
Creators: name: Ehrlich, J. L.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1987

description: Collecting data on production problems can be time-consuming and readily available data difficult to interpret. In day-to-day practice it is too easy to ask occasionally “How are the cows milking?” and leave it at that. This paper describes a computer-generated graph to show how the cows are milking, and help identify the source of production problems. Although as a screening test it is rarely by itself sufficient to diagnose the source of a problem, it can easily alert us to a problem before it becomes a disaster. The graph can be computed and printed automatically using data downloaded via modem from the Northeast Dairy Herd Improvement Association mainframe computer. Looking at the dipstick in the bulk tank is an extremely crude measure of whether a herd is producing up to its potential. A herd is made up of individuals, and a herd is not producting at its potential until every individual is producing at hers. Since “normal” production for each individual varies with her age and lactation stage, normal production of a herd will vary as cows freshen, progress through their lactations, and are dried off. Each cow’s production is expected to follow a curve that will have a shape fiddering with the age of the animal. When we add together curves for a hundred different animals of different ages, breed, and parity only a computer can reasonably analyze and express the results.

description: Analytic form has been obtained for four-dimensional black holes with a minimal Hawking temperature in a theory with cosmological constant, dilaton and gauge fields. In general dimensions, black hole solutions are shown to exist and their asymptotic behaviors are obtained. In theories of ten dimension, N coincident D3-branes as the boundary of an $AdS_5$ space are constructed by embedding black D3-branes, with a five-dimensional compactified space of negligible size if N is large, which provide natural realizations of the Randall-Sundrum scenario. For this $AdS_{5}$ background, the cosmological constant is a higher order perturbation and its effect on the spectra of standard model fields on the branes can be calculated.

description: In recent years mobile computing has created a new era where people are using embedded devices everywhere. Smartphones, and mobile devices had got special attention from users and researchers. The gradual integration of devices used for health care, home automation, fitness, door locks, etc. with smartphones introduces a new generation and requirements for the design of gadgets. Although mobile devices can communicate wirelessly using various protocols like Bluetooth Low Energy introduced recently, IEEE 802.15.4 protocol is not integrated yet. This leads us to the development of a new device that interfaces the smartphone world with IEEE 802.15.4 based networks. This thesis project is the design, implementation and evaluation of BlupZi a novel translator device designed to communicate IEEE 802.15.4 networks with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enabled devices. BlupZi is able to stream data from BLE to IEEE 802.15.4 based devices and vice versa. BlupZi has a very low delay and satisfying throughput.

description: In accelerator projects involving the use of very short bunches, such as the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS)-where the rms bunch length in the undulator section is 30 micron-, it appears that even submicron imperfections in the beam tube surface can generate an impedance that is unacceptably large. We consider two periodic models of an imperfect, rough surface, one with small rectangular corrugations, the other with smooth sinusoidal oscillations. We compare the impedance of these two models.

description: Abstract: "An efficient and rigorous strategy is presented for evaluating the first order sensitivity of the optimal solution to changes in process parameters or process models. An algorithm that constructs a reduced Hessian in the null space of the equality constraints is used to solve the sensitivity equations; the resulting effort to solve these equations depends only on the space of the decision (independent) variables. Consequently, large computational savings can be realized because the solution procedure eliminates the need for obtaining second partial derivatives with respect to tear (dependent) variables explicitly.The method is applied to several flowsheeting examples in order to determine efficiently the sensitivity of the optimal solution to parametric and physical property model changes."

description: Corn contaminated with deoxynivalenol (DON) was added to the diets of 3 dairy cows for 5 days. Total milk, urine and feces were collected for 4 days prior to, during, and 3 days following the feeding of DON-contaminated diets. DON was added to the diets twice a day at feeding time. The dietary concentrations of DON averaged 66 ppm. Following exposure to DON-contaminated diets, DOM-1, a metabolite of DON, was present in milk at concentrations up to 26 ppb. DON was not detected in the milk. Approximately 20% of the DON fed was recovered in the urine and feces in the unconjugated forms as DOM-1 (96%) and DON (4%). After incubating urine with B-glucuronidase, the concentration of unconjugated DOM-1 increased by 7-15 fold while unconjugated DON increased 1.6-3 fold. Detectable concentrations of DOM-1 were found in urine and feces up to 72 hours after the last oral exposure. Thus, excreta are the diagnostic specimens of choice for the determination of DON exposure in cows. Feeding DON-contaminated diets for 5 days did not alter feed intake or milk production, nor were the milk concentrations of calcium, phosphorous, sodium, potassium, magnesium or nitrogen altered.

description: We propose and demonstrate a method for calibrating atomic trajectories in a large-area dual-atom-interferometer gyroscope. The atom trajectories are monitored by modulating and delaying the Raman transition, and they are precisely calibrated by controlling the laser orientation and the bias magnetic field. To improve the immunity to the gravity effect and the common phase noise, the symmetry and the overlapping of two large-area atomic interference loops are optimized by calibrating the atomic trajectories and by aligning the Raman-laser orientations. The dual-atom-interferometer gyroscope is applied in the measurement of the Earth rotation. The sensitivity is $1.2\times10^{-6}$ rad/s/$\sqrt{Hz}$, and the long-term stability is $6.2\times10^{-8}$ rad/s $@$ $2000$ s.

description: Background: The development of nanoparticle drug delivery systems with targeted ligands has the potential to increase treatment efficiency in ovarian cancer. Methods: We developed a 21-amino acid peptide, YTRDLVYGDPARPGIQGTGTF (L-FP21) conjugated to polyethylenimine (PEI) and methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG) to prepare a nanoparticle drug vehicle to target follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) in ovarian cancer. At the same time, we optimized the ligand of the nanoparticle vehicle using D-peptides, which consist of D-amino acids (D-FP21). Nanoparticle vehicles carrying the therapeutic gene plasmid growth-regulated oncogene alpha (pGRO-α) short hairpin RNA (shRNA) (FP21-PEG-PEI/pGRO-α) were prepared for further investigation. Results: Compared with L-FP21, D-FP21 exhibited improved biological stability and higher uptake rate for FSHR-expressing ovarian cancer cells. The cytotoxicity of the L, D-FP21-PEG-PEI/pGRO-α complexes were significantly lower than that of the PEI/pGRO-α complex. The nanoparticle drug with the targeted ligand showed higher transfection efficiencies and improved anti-proliferation effects for ovarian cancer cells than that without the targeted ligand (mPEG-PEI/pGRO-α). Furthermore, an in vivo evaluation of an antitumor assay indicated that D-FP21-PEG-PEI/pGRO-α inhibited the growth of tumor spheroids considerably more than L-FP21-PEG-PEI/pGRO-α; their tumor inhibition rates were 58.5% and 33.3%, respectively. Conclusions: D-FP21-PEG-PEI/plasmid DNA is a safe and efficient gene delivery vehicle for ovarian cancer targeted therapy.

description: We analyze the Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with disordered magnetic interaction displaying the inverse freezing phenomenon. The behaviour of this spin-1 model in crystal field is studied throughout the phase diagram and the transition and spinodal lines for the model are computed using the Full Replica Symmetry Breaking Ansatz that always yelds a thermodynamically stable phase. We compare the results both with the quenched disordered model with Ising spins on lattice gas - where no reentrance takes place - and with the model with generalized spin variables recently introduced by Schupper and Shnerb [Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 037202 (2004)]. The simplest version of all these models, known as Ghatak-Sherrington model, turns out to hold all the general features characterizing an inverse transition to an amorphous phase, including the right thermodynamic behavior.

description: Abstract: "We propose a quasi-Newton algorithm for solving large optimization problems with nonlinear equality constraints. It is designed for problems with few degrees of freedom, and is motivated by the need to use sparse matrix factorizations. The algorithm incorporates a correction vector that approximates the cross term Z[superscript T]WYp[subscript Y] in order to estimate the curvature in both the range and null spaces of the constraints. The algorithm can be considered to be, in some sense, a practical implementation of an algorithm of Coleman and Conn. We give conditions under which local and superlinear convergence is obtained."
Production of marker bulls.
Creators: name: Trent, A. M.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1987

description: In order to be effective, a procedure for producing marker animals must meet four requirements. First, insemination of the female by the marker animal must be prevented. Second, transmission of venereal disease from the marker or from cow to cow via the marker must be avoided. Third, the marker must retain sufficient libido to actively pursue fertile females throughout the breeding period. Finally, the procedure must be economically feasible to perform, meaning that the procedure is technically simple to perform, is not inordinately expensive, and does not have a high morbidity or mortality. The multitude of precedures available indicate that no one procedure has yet been identified that optimally fulfills all 4 requirements. While each technique has its individual proponents, objective comparisons of techniques under equivalent field conditions are minimal or absent. The following paper will describe several of the more common procedures and discuss their ability to fulfill each of the 4 requirements. Prevention of impregnation by the marker is achieved in three basic ways—prevention of viable sperm production, prevention of sperm transportation to the penis, or prevention of transportation of semen from the marker into the female reproductive tract. Elimination of disease transmission by the marker is approached in two ways—prevention of intromission or use of a disease free marker. Preservation of libido depends on maintenance of circulating hormone levels, and to some extent on preservation of neuroendocrine feedback occurring during the act of copulation.

description: Therapeutic outcome for the treatment of glioma was often limited due to the non-targeted nature and low permeability of drugs across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). An ideal glioma-targeted delivery system need to traverse the BBB and then target glioma cells with adequate optimized physiochemical properties and biocompatibility. However, it is an enormous challenge to the researchers to engineer the above-mentioned features into a single nanocarrier particle. New frontiers in nanomedicine are advancing the research of new biomaterials. In this study, we demonstrate a strategy for glioma targeting by encapsulating vincristine sulfate (VCR) into a naturally available low-density lipoprotein particles (LDL)-based drug delivery system with the modification of T7 peptide ligand (T7-LDL). LDL, endogenous lipid transporters, can specifically bind to brain endothelial cells and glioma cells via interacting with the low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR). T7 is a seven-peptide ligand of transferrin receptors (TfR) capable of circumventing the BBB and then targeting glioma. By combining the dual-targeting delivery effect of T7 peptide and parent LDL, T7-LDL displayed higher glioma localization than that of parent LDL. After loading with VCR, T7-LDL showed the most favorable antiglioma effect in vitro and in vivo. These results demonstrated that T7-LDL is an important potential drug delivery system for glioma-targeted therapy.

description: The A0 Photoinjector at Fermilab can produce high charge (10-14 nC) electron bunches of low emittance (20 pi mm-mrad for 12 nC). We have undertaken a study of the optimal compression conditions. Off-crest acceleration in the 9-cell capture cavity induces an energy-time correlation, which is rotated by the compressor chicane (4 dipoles). The bunch length is measured using streak camera images of optical transition radiation. We present measurements under various conditions, including the effect of the laser pulse length (2 ps sigma Gaussian vs. 10 ps FWHM flat top). The best compression to date is for a 13.2 nC bunch with sigma = 0.63 mm (1.89 ps), which corresponds to a peak current of 2.8 kA.

description: We use hydrodynamic simulations with adaptive grid refinement to study the dependence of hot gas flows in X-ray luminous giant elliptical galaxies on the efficiency of heat supply to the gas. We consider a number of potential heating mechanisms including Type Ia supernovae and sporadic nuclear activity of a central supermassive black hole. As a starting point for this research we use an equilibrium hydrostatic recycling model (Kritsuk 1996). We show that a compact cooling inflow develops, if the heating is slightly insufficient to counterbalance radiative cooling of the hot gas in the central few kiloparsecs. An excessive heating in the centre, instead, drives a convectively unstable outflow. We model the onset of the instability and a quasi-steady convective regime in the core of the galaxy in two-dimensions assuming axial symmetry. Provided the power of net energy supply in the core is not too high, the convection remains subsonic. The convective pattern is dominated by buoyancy driven large-scale mushroom-like structures. Unlike in the case of a cooling inflow, the X-ray surface brightness of an (on average) isentropic convective core does not display a sharp maximum at the centre. A hybrid model, which combines a subsonic peripheral cooling inflow with an inner convective core, appears to be stable. We also discuss observational implications of these results.

description: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between growth performance, body composition, and fat deposition factors, and feed efficiency in growing lambs. We measured average daily feed intake (ADFI) and body weight (BW) from 653 Hu sheep that were fed a pellet diet. The residual feed intake (RFI) not significantly genetic and phenotypic correlated with the metabolic body weight (MBW) and average daily gain (ADG), but it was significantly genetic and phenotypic correlated with ADFI and the feed conversion ratio (FCR) (p < 0.01). However, the FCR was significantly associated with growth traits (p < 0.01). With the same ADG, body fat deposition was greater in animals with low feed efficiency compared with high feed efficiency. Therefore, excessive fat deposition can affect the feed efficiency of the body, and organ weight and gut-weight have a greater impact on the feed efficiency of lambs. The reticulum stomach and jejunum of lambs with a low RFI were smaller compared with that in the high RFI, indicating that lambs with a low RFI have less intake and a higher absorption rate. Small organs, such as the liver, of lambs with high FE might be associated with low energy expenditure and slow metabolism. This study provides a new perspective to study the biological processes responsible for feed efficiency variation in lambs.

description: Below the Curie temperature T_c of a Heusler-alloy film, consisting of densely packed, but exchange-decoupled nanograins, the spontaneous magnetization M_s(T) and static in-plane susceptibility χ_{||}(T) increase very slowly signalizing a suppression of magnetization fluctuations. The unpredicted variation χ_{||}(T) ~ G_d^2(T), where G_d ~ M_s^2 is the intergranular dipolar coupling, and also the magnetic freezing observed in the dynamic susceptibility at lower temperatures is quantitatively reproduced by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations with 10^4 dipolar-coupled moments on a disordered triangular lattice. At high temperatures, the MC spin configurations clearly reveal a dense gas of local vortex structures, which at low temperatures condense in regions with stronger disorder. This vortex depletion upon decreasing temperature seems to be responsible for the observed \textit{increase} of the magnetic relaxation time. For weak disorder, the temperature dependence of the MC vorticity and a singularity of the specific heat at T_v=1/2 G_d(T_v)/k_B indicate a thermal transition from a vortex gas to a state with a single vortex center plus linear vortex structures.

description: This paper provides a synthesis of results that have emerged from recent modeling studies of the potential sensitivity of U.S. regional ozone (O3) concentrations to global climate change (ca. 2050). This research has been carried out under the auspices of an ongoing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) assessment effort to increase scientific understanding of the multiple complex interactions among climate, emissions, atmospheric chemistry, and air quality. The ultimate goal is to enhance the ability of air quality managers to consider global change in their decisions through improved characterization of the potential effects of global change on air quality, including O3. The results discussed here are interim, representing the first phase of the EPA assessment. The aim in this first phase was to consider the effects of climate change alone on air quality, without accompanying changes in anthropogenic emissions of precursor pollutants. Across all of the modeling experiments carried out by the different groups, simulated global climate change causes increases of a few to several parts per billion (ppb) in summertime mean maximum daily 8-h average O3 concentrations over substantial regions of the country. The different modeling experiments in general do not, however, simulate the same regional patterns of change. These differences seem to result largely from variations in the simulated patterns of changes in key meteorological drivers, such as temperature and surface insolation. How isoprene nitrate chemistry is represented in the different modeling systems is an additional critical factor in the simulated O3 response to climate change.

description: In this letter, we experimentally demonstrate the evolution of the optical vortex beams of different topological charges propagating in engineered nano-colloidal suspension of negative polarizability with saturable nonlinearities. Due to the high power of the incident beam, the modulation instability leads to an exponential growth of weak perturbations and thus splits the original vortex beam into a necklace beam consisting of several bright spots. The number of observed bright spots is intrinsically determined by the topological charge of the incident beam and agrees well with the predictions of our linear stability analysis and numerical simulations. Besides contributing to the fundamental science of light-matter interactions in engineered soft-matter media, this work opens new opportunities for dynamic optical manipulation and transmission of light through scattering media as well as formation of complex optical patterns and light filamentation in naturally existing colloids such as fog and clouds.
Practice development in the late 80's and the veterinarian's role: disease specialist or health specialist?
Creators: name: Neubauer, Gary D.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1987

description: Profitable livestock production and the veterinarian’s role. Will this be a challenge or an opportunity? Ask yourself—am I a necessary evil or a partner in profits? Practice development in the future will rely heavily on the expanded role of the veterinarian as a health specialist and not just as a disease specialist. The veterinarian’s image needs to be reviewed as a part of profits not losses of the livestock enterprise. Finally, the veterinarian’s role as a herd health specialist needs to be looked on as: 1) a leader who is knowledgeable and respected, 2) as a partner who is trusted and reliable, and 3) as a business manager who is profit oriented. A successful health specialist will be one who can utilize this knowledge of medicine and production and effectively communicate these ideas in such a way that the client understands them, accepts them, and implements them to the fullest extent toward efficient, profitable production.

description: Quantum energy teleportation (QET) is a proposed protocol related to the quantum vacuum. The edge channels in a quantum Hall system is well suited for the experimental verification of QET. For this purpose, we examine a charge density wave excited and detected by capacitively coupled front gate electrodes. We observe the waveform of the charge density wave, which is proportional to the time derivative of the applied square voltage wave. Further, we study the transmission and reflection behaviors of the charge density wave by applying a voltage to another front gate electrode to control the path of the edge state. We show that the threshold voltages where the dominant direction is switched in either transmission or reflection for dense and sparse waves are different from the threshold voltage where the current stops flowing in an equilibrium state.

Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1987

description: There is clearly a revolution going on in the methodology which is used to develop new diagnostics, prophylactics and therapeutics for human and veterinary medicine. It is fortunate for the bovine practitioner that many of the first veterinary products developed using new biotechnology techniques have been for use in cattle. The possibilities for future veterinary products derived by these methods will be limited only by the financial and time resources committed to such endeavors by public research institutions and private industry.

description: In this paper we show that there is a Lipatov bound for the radius of convergence for superficially divergent one-particle irreducible Green functions in a renormalizable quantum field theory if there is such a bound for the superficially convergent ones. The radius of convergence turns out to be ${\rm min}\{ρ,1/b_1\}$, where $ρ$ is the bound on the convergent ones, the instanton radius, and $b_1$ the first coefficient of the $β$-function.

description: In 1995 Kim famously proved the Ramsey bound R(3,t) \ge c t^2/\log t by constructing an n-vertex graph that is triangle-free and has independence number at most C \sqrt{n \log n}. We extend this celebrated result, which is best possible up to the value of the constants, by approximately decomposing the complete graph K_n into a packing of such nearly optimal Ramsey R(3,t) graphs. More precisely, for any ε>0 we find an edge-disjoint collection (G_i)_i of n-vertex graphs G_i \subseteq K_n such that (a) each G_i is triangle-free and has independence number at most C_ε\sqrt{n \log n}, and (b) the union of all the G_i contains at least (1-ε)\binom{n}{2} edges. Our algorithmic proof proceeds by sequentially choosing the graphs G_i via a semi-random (i.e., Rodl nibble type) variation of the triangle-free process. As an application, we prove a conjecture in Ramsey theory by Fox, Grinshpun, Liebenau, Person, and Szabo (concerning a Ramsey-type parameter introduced by Burr, Erdos, Lovasz in 1976). Namely, denoting by s_r(H) the smallest minimum degree of r-Ramsey minimal graphs for H, we close the existing logarithmic gap for H=K_3 and establish that s_r(K_3) = Θ(r^2 \log r).

description: Programs dealing with animal care and disease prevention often employ medication, antibiotics, and vaccines as substitutes for suitable building design, construction and maintenance of proper environments. Design errors which lead to varying levels of economic loss for producers are common. Animal death losses are often used to evaluate building success or failure. Permanent lung damage however is a common sequelae following clinical or subclinical bouts of pneumonia. Limitations on genetic potential are incurred by lung damage with a resulting decrease in milk and / or beef production. A reliable evaluation of an animals environment may be performed using the senses of site, smell, hearing, and touch.

description: The objectives of this paper are to describe a farm record system used on a sample of Michigan dairy farms and to report on the incentive mechanism used to maintain the farmers interest in data collection from 1981-1985 while the program was developed. Associated with the above objectives, an animal health management system (FAHRMX) was developed to collect and utilize data on production, animal management, health, and economics. The system was designed to serve multi-veterinarian practices and their clients, and also for other agri-business support systems. Dairymen provided events data on a daily basis and veterinarians provided data on services to their clients as it occurred. DHIA production data were added at monthly intervals and epidemiologic data were added annually to the data base. A computer system was developed which represented a hierarchical-distributive network which placed processing capabilities, data storage, and retrieval functions at the appropriate level such that it supplied decision makers information on a cost-effective manner. Management aids and reports were generated for use by the veterinarian and dairyman upon demand, but were most often requested weekly. Herd health reports were generated monthly and contained management, health, and reproductive indicies. The evaluation of 2847 lactations and 21 herds revealed an average occurrence of 1.8 services per conception, 117 days open and a lactational disease incidence rate of 17.5% for reproductive tract infections, 15.1% for clinical mastitis, 12.5% for cystic ovaries, and 7.5% for retained placenta. Most striking was herd-to-herd variation in disease incidence. The value of the information to the user contributed to the quality of data input and was a motivation to the participants to maintain the program during its development.

Sviluppo di un alimentatore polveri per DED a doppio materiale
Creators: name: Balerio, Luca
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2021

description: L’obbiettivo di questo progetto è la realizzazione di un dispositivo che permetta di ottenere la miscelazione omogenea di polveri metalliche trasportate da un flusso di Argon per il processo di Direct Energy Deposition. La concentrazione di queste polveri deve poter essere modulabile ma al contempo è necessario mantenere una portata costante indipendentemente dal settaggio di concentrazione. Le portate consentite vanno da un minimo di 0 cm3/min ad un massimo di 30 cm3/min per le polveri e da un minimo di 1.2 l/min ad un massimo di 60 l/min per il flusso di gas. Per la progettazione si sfruttano alcune componenti già presenti sulla macchina: il powder feeder, gli elementi di controllo e comando per una singola tramoggia, la struttura portante ed il sistema di monitoraggio della portata massica in uscita dal feeder. La soluzione si compone di due tramogge identiche per l’inserimento delle due diverse polveri con il relativo sistema di adduzione. Uscite dalle tramogge le due polveri differenti, attraverso condotti pneumatici dal diametro interno di 6mm, giungono in un raccordo dove si uniscono in un condotto di diametro 30mm. Trasportate dal flusso di gas esse raggiungono una griglia di miscelazione la quale, creando notevoli turbolenze e deviazioni dei flussi, permette una miscelazione ottimale delle due polveri. Successivamente al passaggio attraverso il miscelatore statico la sezione del condotto si riduce nuovamente per riportare le polveri in una tubatura di 6 mm di diametro che le condurrà alla testa di deposizione della macchina DED. La struttura progettata funziona correttamente e ciò viene dimostrato da simulazioni CFD, le quali hanno inoltre aiutato ad ottimizzare il dispositivo. La soluzione sviluppata è stata correttamente dimensionata e adempie perfettamente ai compiti assegnatigli; infatti, essa riesce a miscelare omogeneamente le polveri, fornire una portata costante e reagire in modo rapido al cambiamento di concentrazione delle polveri.

description: When a relativistic electron bunch traverses a structure, strong electric fields are induced in its wake. We present measurements of the electric field as a function of time as measured at a fixed location in the beam line. For a 12 nC bunch of duration 4.2 ps FWHM, the peak field is measured >0.5 MV/m. Time resolution of ~5 ps is achieved using electro-optic sampling with a lithium tantalate (LiTaO_3) crystal and a short-pulse infrared laser synchronized to the beam. We present measurements under several different experimental conditions and discuss the influence of mode excitation in the structure.

Grain feeding strategies to optimize milk production and body condition
Creators: name: McBride, B. W.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1987

description: It is still a common occurrence for dairymen to adjust grain feeding only according to the old rule of thumb; “feed 1 lb of grain for every 3 lbs of milk produced.” This is fine for the mature high producing cows but it is far from accurate for all the cows in the herd. The first step in optimum grain feeding strategy is to formulate a ration for the average cow in the herd then make the following adjustments according to the stage of lactation, age, body condition and body size.

description: In Dairy Health Management (DHM), the emphasis is placed on the examination and monitoring of the herd on a regular basis. This includes the analysis of animal health and production records to compare actual performance, and to initiate actions or new control methods to decrease losses and increase productivity. The physical collection of the data to monitor the herd is a major stumbling block in many DHM programs. There is a great diversity, both in the ability and willingness of dairy-men and veterinarians to keep records, and in the record-keeping systems on most dairy farms. However, a great wealth of data can be obtained from records already arriving at the farm from many different sources. This paper discusses the collection of this data into a format for monitoring Dairy Health Management. The data collection encompasses production, udder health, reproductive efficiency, disease conditions, culling rates, body conditions, culling rates, body condition scores, feeding management, feeding efficiency, housing and environment and calf management.
