description: Heat stress and metabolic maladaptation to lactation (ketosis) are 2 economically devastating hurdles to profitability. These stressors affect herds of all sizes and almost every dairy region in the world. The biology of heat stress and ketosis has been studied for almost a half century, but the negative impacts of both are as evident today as they were 30 years ago. Our recent discoveries suggest that endotoxin is the common culprit in both disorders and the intestine appears to be the etiological origin of both metabolic disorders. Endotoxin stimulates the immune system and activated leukocytes switch their metabolism away from oxidative phosphorylation to rely more on aerobic glycolysis. In multiple species, we estimate that immune activation consumes about 0.45 g glucose/lb (1 g/kg) BW0.75 or about 0.9 lb (2 kg) glucose/day in an adult lactating dairy cow. Thus, an activated immune system reprioritizes nutrient partitioning away from the synthesis of economically valuable products.

description: One of the greatest values we can bring to our clients is information and the ability to apply that information to their farm business for the improvement of the lives of their cattle and employees, and their financial wellbeing. Our knowledge base comes from a variety of sources, each with their own strengths and limitations. Scientific literature, presentations at professional meetings, our own clinical observations, and networking with colleagues provide the source for most of our knowledge base. When we are unable to find answers, on-farm clinical trials can serve as an immensely valuable resource. Conducted properly, this tool can provide timely, targeted, and specific answers to important questions. However, caution is necessary before embarking on this journey. It is important to remember that trials are very involved, time consuming and a great deal of work. Failure to properly design, execute, and interpret data from an on-farm trial can be frustrating, expensive, and detrimental to the farm. On-farm trials represent a great opportunity for veterinarians to provide valuable information to their clients, but should be conducted with great planning and oversight.

description: This work presents an analytical framework that includes slope and rainfall variability with value of the critical area in defining a threshold for channel initiation processes for the whole river basin. The study overcomes the existing limitation of application of constant threshold for extracting channels throughout the basin by proposing slope and rainfall dependent variable threshold. The proposed algorithm successfully captures the spatial variability in drainage patterns at basin-scale characterized by different topographic characteristics. As basin-scale studies are mostly carried out using coarse-resolution digital elevation model (DEM), this methodology has been developed using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data of 30 m spatial resolution. The resultant drainage pattern was compared with the published map based on field observations, which shows a closer match with field conditions. A front-end application was developed to implement the methods as an end-to-end process to make user interaction simpler.

The role of the resultant KdV solitons is explicated. The fact that KdV solitons can pass through each other without interference, represent 'resistanceless' spin transport.

description: As the average consumer becomes farther removed from the farm and is continuously bombarded with misinformation, there’s never been a more critical time to better communicate the message of sustainability in agriculture. Your profession has a specific challenge in connecting with a general public that too often values opinion over science. Agriculture is under attack from the increasing number of activists, non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and environmental groups. Incorrect stories about agriculture continue to circulate daily throughout the media, going mostly unchallenged. This has become dangerous over time, as the misinformation has disguised itself as the truth. It’s time for everyone involved in agriculture to better lead the discussion to help protect the use of science, technology, and innovation in how we grow and raise food.

description: Dynamical back-action cooling of phonons in optomechanical systems having one optical mode is well studied. Systems with two optical modes have the potential to reach significantly higher cooling rate through resonant enhancement of both pump and scattered light. Here we experimentally investigate the role of dual optical densities of states on optomechanical cooling, and the deviation from theory caused by thermal locking to the pump laser. Using this, we demonstrate a room temperature system operating very close to the strong coupling regime, where saturation of cooling is anticipated.

WHO CAN WE LISTEN TO AMID THE UNCERTAINTIES AND RISKS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC? A COMPARATIVE CASE STUDY ON PUBLIC RHETORICS OF TWO INFLUENTIAL PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS FROM CHINA AND THE UNITED STATES

Subjects: Technical writing

description: In today’s interconnected world, public health crises like COVID-19 have a widespread impact, transcending national borders, causing economic upheaval, the loss of trillions of dollars from the gross domestic product (GDP), and significant disruptions to health systems, and forcing millions of individuals into poverty. While countries may differ in their responses to these crises, their shared objective is to mitigate the damage and ultimately bring an end to the outbreak. Public health experts play a crucial role in these efforts, utilizing rhetorical strategies to effectively communicate with the public about the pandemic. Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci in the United States and Dr. Wenhong Zhang in China emerged as revered figures, leading public health experts, and adept communicators in addressing the risks posed by the pandemic in their respective countries. This dissertation investigates the rhetorical practices of Dr. Zhang and Dr. Fauci in their communications about the pandemic to their respective publics. Employing a case study approach, contextualized comparative rhetoric as an inquiry method, and computer-assisted qualitative rhetorical analysis, this dissertation identifies the similarities and differences in the rhetorical strategies adopted by the two doctors. The findings reveal that both doctors utilize similar rhetorical tools, including ethos, kairos, narratives, and metaphors, to effectively communicate about the pandemic to the public. However, they also exhibit differences influenced by contextual factors such as political, social, and cultural contexts. These findings contribute to our understanding of the role of rhetoric in public health experts’ communications about the pandemic in different countries during a global public health crisis.

description: Radio halos are diffuse synchrotron sources on scales of ~1 Mpc that are found in merging clusters of galaxies, and are believed to be powered by electrons re-accelerated by the merger-driven turbulence. We present measurements of extended radio emission on similarly large scales in two clusters of galaxies hosting cool cores: Abell 2390 and Abell 2261. The analysis is based on interferometric imaging with the JVLA, VLA and GMRT. We present detailed radio images of the targets, subtract the compact emission components, and measure the spectral indices for the diffuse components. The radio emission in A2390 extends beyond a known sloshing-like brightness discontinuity, and has a very steep in-band spectral slope at 1.5 GHz that is similar to some known ultra-steep spectrum radio halos. The diffuse signal in A2261 is more extended than in A2390 but has lower luminosity. X-ray morphological indicators, derived from XMM-Newton X-ray data, place these clusters in the category of relaxed or regular systems, although some asymmetric features that can indicate past minor mergers are seen in the X-ray brightness images. If these two Mpc-scale radio sources are categorized as giant radio halos, they question the common assumption of radio halos occurring exclusively in clusters undergoing violent merging activity, in addition to commonly used criteria in distinguishing between radio halos and mini-halos.

description: Artificial insemination of cows based on detected estrus is still a regular practice included in most reproductive management programs in the United States and elsewhere. Traditional methods of estrus detection are time-consuming, repetitive, and require qualified labor. In recent years, there has been an explosion in the development and adoption of automated estrus detection systems for dairy farms, especially those monitoring individual changes in physical activity. This article will discuss the potential benefits of using automated estrus detection, limitations of programs relying solely on insemination at detected estrus, and ideas for integrating activity monitors into effective reproductive programs.

description: Over the past several years, the structure of the dairy industry has changed dramatically, with fewer dairy operations, larger herd sizes, higher labor costs, and a reduction of qualified labor. These factors, along with a recent explosion in the development and commercialization of sensor-based automated systems for dairy farms, have become major drivers for the automation of different farm activities. In this regard, new technologies have the ability to positively change herd management in many ways. For example, they have the potential to reduce the burden associated with health monitoring programs by reducing labor cost, improving cow time-budgets, and providing tools for more accurate and earlier disease diagnosis. Similarly, these systems can provide valuable information in other areas such as reproduction and nutrition. Still, sensor data are only useful if interpreted and used efficiently in the decision-making process. This article aims to describe current knowledge about the potential use of automated health monitoring systems (AHMS) to identify cows with health disorders, with special focus on the practical “on farm” implementation of these technologies.

description: To better design safe and comfortable urban spaces, understanding the nature of human crowd movement is important. However, precise interactions among pedestrians are difficult to measure in the presence of their complex decision-making processes and many related factors. While extensive studies on pedestrian flow through bottlenecks and corridors have been conducted, the dominant mode of interaction in these scenarios may not be relevant in different scenarios. Here, we attempt to decipher the factors that affect human reactions to other individuals from a different perspective. We conducted experiments employing the inflow process in which pedestrians successively enter a confined area (like an elevator) and look for a temporary position. In this process, pedestrians have a wider range of options regarding their motion than in the classical scenarios; therefore, other factors might become relevant. The preference of location is visualized by pedestrian density profiles obtained from recorded pedestrian trajectories. Non-trivial patterns of space acquisition, e.g., an apparent preference for positions near corners, were observed. This indicates the relevance of psychological and anticipative factors beyond the private sphere, which have not been deeply discussed so far in the literature on pedestrian dynamics. From the results, four major factors, which we call flow avoidance, distance cost, angle cost, and boundary preference, were suggested. We confirmed that a description of decision-making based on these factors can give a rise to realistic preference patterns, using a simple mathematical model. Our findings provide new perspectives and a baseline for considering the optimization of design and safety in crowded public areas and public transport carriers.

description: As more and more dairies in North America and globally turn to robotic milking, the same technology that reduces labor and allows the cows to milk at the times and intervals they choose can also separate us from the cow. The integration of robotic milking technology also tends to make practitioners and consultants less likely to feel capable and qualified to help robotic milking herds produce high quality milk and diagnose production and milkability issues. By remembering that robotic milking functions with the same principles of milk harvest as conventional milking facilities, and that the same factors that lead to high quality milk production in conventional milking facilities will also lead to high quality milk in robotic milking, practitioners and consultants can stay focused on the key areas that matter most to milk quality. Practitioners and consultants can play a role in helping robotically milked dairies succeed through observation and testing that ensures the dairy is milking clean teats, gently, quickly, and completely in order to maintain teat health.

description: Species living in distinct habitats often experience unique ecological selective pressures, which can drive phenotypic divergence. However, how ecophenotypic patterns are affected by allometric trends and trait integration levels is less well understood. Here we evaluate the role of allometry in shaping body size and body form diversity in Pristurus geckos utilizing differing habitats. We found that patterns of allometry and integration in body form were distinct in species with different habitat preferences, with ground-dwelling Pristurus displaying the most divergent allometric trend and high levels of integration. There was also strong concordance between intraspecific allometry across individuals and evolutionary allometry among species, revealing that differences in body form among individuals were predictive of evolutionary changes across the phylogeny at macroevolutionary scales. This suggested that phenotypic evolution occurred along allometric lines of least resistance, with allometric trajectories imposing a strong influence on the magnitude and direction of size and shape changes across the phylogeny. When viewed in phylomorphospace, the largest rock-dwelling species were most similar to the smallest ground-dwelling species, and vice versa. Thus, in Pristurus, phenotypic evolution along the differing habitat-based allometric trajectories resulted in similar body forms at differing body sizes in distinct ecological habitats.

description: One of the most debated subjects in Astronomy since the discovery of exoplanets is how can we distinguish the most massive of such objects from very-low mass stars like Brown Dwarfs (BDs)? We have been looking for evidences of a difference in physical characteristics that could be related to different formation processes. Using a new diagnostic diagram that compares the baryonic gravitational potential (BGP) with the distances from their host stars, we have classified a sample of 355 well-studied exoplanets according to their possible structures. We have then compared the exoplanets to a sample of 87 confirmed BDs, identifying a range in BGP that could be common to both objects. By analyzing the mass-radius relations (MRR) of the exoplanets and BDs in those different BGP ranges, we were able to distinguish different characteristic behaviors. By comparing with models in the literature, our results suggest that BDs and massive exoplanets might have similar structures dominated by liquid metallic hydrogen (LMH).

description: Labor management on today’s modern dairy is vital to farm profitability and sustainability. High performing teams pose many challenges to keep continuously raising their own bar, in order to achieve higher output per worker. Business culture plays the most important role in developing personal, career, and individual growth for today’s workforce. Like dairy farms there are no 2 vet practices identically the same, therefore it is not an exact science on the outcomes to be perfectly replicable. Managing a modern successful workforce is a constant moving target. These proceedings will discuss the key performance indicators of high performing teams, and how the role of the modern veterinarian can help farms succeed.

title: An Investigation into Personal Tutoring: Staff Perceptions
Creators: name: Barton, Dionne

Year: 2023

description: Due to the changing landscape of Higher Education (HE), increased tuition fees, widening participation and a new regulatory framework for the sector – the Office for Students (OfS), and the launch of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) - Personal Tutoring has become increasingly important in HE in the United Kingdom (UK). It is fundamental to the student experience (Lochtie, McIntosh, Stork and Walker, 2018). Indeed, Personal Tutoring has been identified as an effective way to improve student success in HE (Thomas, 2018). It aims to improve the student experience and to improve retention and progression. This study explores the perceptions of Personal Academic Tutors at a traditional Russell Group university, in engineering as a discipline. The review of literature focuses on the history of Personal Tutoring, the role of the Personal Tutor, models of Personal Tutoring, professional development for Personal Tutors, and reward and recognition for the role. In addition, these areas are explored through the research questions. For the purpose of this study, Personal Tutoring is broadly defined as activities where staff work in partnership with students to provide support, advice and guidance. The overall research frame is a case study and the ontological approach for the interviews is phenomenology, this research design was selected to find out the lived experiences and perceptions of Personal Tutors. For the phenomenological study, interviews were conducted with six Personal Tutors. I chose interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) as the methodological approach. Other sources of data were collected as part of the case study approach. The findings suggest that there is a need for Personal Tutors to have an understanding of the Personal Tutor role as well as the information required to do the role and professional development and training. In addition, the findings demonstrate that Personal Tutors want to be rewarded and receive recognition for the role. My research concludes with recommendations that make an original contribution to the theory, knowledge, and practice of Personal Tutoring. I recommend a model which suggests how HE institutions could better support Personal Tutors in HE.

description: While veterinarians are increasingly seen by dairy producers as training providers for their diverse workforce, veterinary medicine curricula offers limited opportunities for practitioners to develop into effective communicators, especially when having to engage with multicultural groups. Conducting training on a dairy farm to change behaviors and to improve animal health and performance goes beyond a presentation translated by a bilingual dairy employee. While language barriers should be addressed, veterinarians should also be aware of cultural factors that may affect communication and the success of the training efforts. This article and associated presentation propose best practices for the facilitation of culturally-congruent training programs to improve dairy worker performance.

description: Supernova remnant (SNR) RX J1713.7-3946 is well known for its bright TeV gamma-ray emission with shell-like morphology. To constrain the hydrodynamical evolution, we have performed six times observations of the northwestern (NW) shell with the Chandra X-ray Observatory from 2005 to 2011, and measured the proper motion by using these data and the first epoch observation taken in 2000. The blast-wave shock speed at the NW shell is measured to be $(3900\pm 300) (d/{\rm kpc})\ {\rm km}\ {\rm s}^{-1}$ with an estimated distance of $d = 1$ kpc, and the proper motions of other structures within the NW shell are significantly less than that. Assuming that the measured blast-wave shock speed is the representative of the remnant's outer shock wave as a whole, we have confronted our measurements as well as a recent detection of thermal X-ray lines, with the analytic solution of the hydrodynamical properties of SNRs. Our hydrodynamical analysis indicates that the age of the remnant is 1580-2100 years, supporting the association with SN393. A model with SN kinetic energy of $E = 10^{51}\, \rm erg$, the ejecta mass of $M_{\rm ej} = 3\, M_{\odot}$, and the ambient density at the current blast wave location of $n_2 = 0.015\, {\rm cm}^{-3}$, provides reasonable explanation for our measurements and previous findings at the X-ray and gamma-ray wavelengths. We find that the transition to the Sedov-Taylor (ST) phase is incomplete for any reasonable set of parameters, implying that the current maximum energy of accelerated protons in RX J1713.7-3946 would not correspond to the maximum attainable energy for this remnant.

An elementary argument for the magnetic field outside a solenoid

Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The evaluation of the magnetic field inside and outside a uniform current density infinite solenoid of uniform cross-section is an elementary problem in classical electrodynamics that all undergraduate Physics students study. Symmetry properties of the cylinder and the judicious use of Ampere's circuital law leads to correct results; however it does not explain why the field is non zero for a finite length solenoid, and why it vanishes as the solenoid becomes infinitely long. An argument is provided in (American Journal of Physics 69, 751 (2001)) by Farley and Price, explaining how the magnetic field behaves outside the solenoid and not too far from it, as a function of the length of the solenoid. A calculation is also outlined for obtaining the field just outside the circular cross section solenoid, in the classic text Classical Electrodynamics by J.D.Jackson, 3rd ed, (John Wiley and Sons, INC) Problems 5.3, 5.4, 5.5. The purpose of this letter is to provide an elementary argument for why the field becomes negligible as the length of the solenoid is increased. An elementary calculation is provided for the field outside the solenoid, at radial distances large compared to the linear dimension of the solenoid cross section.

description: The $1/4$-filled organic compound, $δ$-(EDT-TTF-CONMe$_{2}$)$_{2}$AsF$_6$ is a frustrated two-dimensional triangular magnetic system as shown by high-frequency (111.2 and 222.4 GHz) electron spin resonance (ESR) and structural data in the literature. The material gradually orders antiferromagnetically below 40~K but some magnetically disordered domains persist down to 4 K. We propose that in defect free regions frustration prevents true magnetic order down to at least 4 K in spite of the large first- and second-neighbor exchange interactions along chains and between chains, respectively. The antiferromagnetic (AFM) order gradually developing below 40 K nucleates around structural defects that locally cancel frustration. Two antiferromagnetic resonance modes mapped in the principal planes at 4~K are assigned to the very weakly interacting one-dimensional molecular chains in antiferromagnetic regions.
The economics of metaphylactic antibiotic treatment

description: If you are involved in the cattle business, you can’t help but be aware of the low margin of profitability and high risk of this business. Certainly, animal health is in the forefront of managing profit and risk. Of all the health issues facing new cattle in an operation, by far the bovine respiratory disease (BRD) complex is the most common and most costly. There are many approaches to managing health in these cattle: vaccines, immune stimulants, feeding programs, low-stress handling, and antibiotics. Many loads of cattle are candidates for metaphylactic treatment with antibiotics on arrival or soon after. The above factors determine the need for this program, but still in most cases it boils down to an economic decision.

description: This work describes the development and evaluation of a recognizer for different levels of cognitive workload in the car. We collected multiple biosignal streams (skin conductance, pulse, respiration, EEG) during an experiment in a driving simulator in which the drivers performed a primary driving task and several secondary tasks of varying difficulty. From this data, an SVM based workload classifier was trained and evaluated.

Perspectives of the history and development of metaphylactic treatment with antibiotics and how I implement today
Creators: name: Latta, Tom
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2019

description: Of all the diseases and health problems that newly arrived cattle in a feedyard face, by far the bovine respiratory disease (BRD) complex is the most common and most costly. There are many approaches to preventing and treating respiratory disease in new cattle, including vaccines, feed additives, feeding programs, and low-stress handling. Many of the new cattle have been stressed by weaning, hauling long distances, commingling, and stressful handling. Thus, in these cattle there may be a need for antibiotic therapy on arrival or soon after arrival, a practice called metaphylactic treatment with antibiotics.

Understanding the mechanism of metaphylaxis from an epidemiologic perspective
Creators: name: Vander Ley, Brian
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2019

description: Metaphylaxis has become an integral component of BRD control in high-risk cattle in North America. It has proven to be both effective and economically advantageous in clinical trials and in field application. The efficacy of metaphylaxis against BRD not only lies in its ability to treat cases in progress at the time of administration, but also in that metaphylaxis modifies epidemic parameters that ultimately reduce the size and severity of disease outbreaks in groups of cattle. One possible explanation for this effect is that metaphylaxis temporarily creates a uniform shift in the susceptibility of treated cattle that delays clinical disease while allowing stress to dissipate and adaptive immunity against BRD pathogens to develop. This shift, and the changes that occur while it is in effect, starve the epidemic of new susceptible cases which reduces BRD morbidity in the population. Provided this theory is accurate, metaphylaxis could be better targeted by using diagnostics to identify and treat only susceptible cattle rather than all of them; however, current technology prevents timely application of such information.

description: Invisibility cloak capable of hiding an object can be achieved by properly manipulating electromagnetic field. Such a remarkable ability has been shown in transformation and ray optics. Alternatively, it may be realistic to create a spatial cloak by means of confining electromagnetic field in three-dimensional arrayed waveguides and introducing appropriate collective curvature surrounding an object. We realize the artificial structure in borosilicate by femtosecond laser direct writing, where we prototype up to 5000 waveguides to conceal millimeter-scale volume. We characterize the performance of the cloak by normalized cross correlation, tomography analysis and continuous three-dimensional viewing angle scan. Our results show invisibility cloak can be achieved in waveguide optics. Furthermore, directly printed invisibility cloak on a photonic chip may enable controllable study and novel applications in classical and quantum integrated photonics, such as invisualising a coupling or swapping operation with on-chip circuits of their own.

Genomics and the beef industry

description: Genomic selection has become pervasive across all animal breeding programs. In the beef industry, genotyping a non-parent animal is equivalent to that animal having already produced approximately 5 to 25 offspring, depending on the trait. Although this increase in information can greatly increase the rate of genetic gain, if utilized, the benefit of genomic information could be multiplied if it were to be used throughout all sectors of the beef industry. This would ideally require a data feedback loop whereby commercial-level phenotypes were used in genetic evaluation and prediction of genetic merit to inform management decisions of commercial animals. The decisions made could be enhanced using sophisticated software to contemplate genetics, environment, management, and societal demands many of which manifest into economic constraints. The objective of this paper is to briefly summarize the current state of genomic selection and to propose a path forward relative to a more comprehensive use of genetic information throughout the beef industry.

description: We consider a spherically symmetric internal solution within the context of Einstein-Chern-Simons gravity and derive a generalized five-dimensional Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation. It is shown that the generalized TOV equation leads, in a certain limit, to the standard five-dimensional TOV equation
