description: We consider distributed optimization in random networks where N nodes cooperatively minimize the sum Σi=1N fi(x) of their individual convex costs. Existing literature proposes distributed gradient-like methods that are computationally cheap and resilient to link failures, but have slow convergence rates. In this paper, we propose accelerated distributed gradient methods that 1) are resilient to link failures; 2) computationally cheap; and 3) improve convergence rates over other gradient methods. We model the network by a sequence of independent, identically distributed random matrices {W(k)} drawn from the set of symmetric, stochastic matrices with positive diagonals. The network is connected on average and the cost functions are convex, differentiable, with Lipschitz continuous and bounded gradients. We design two distributed Nesterov-like gradient methods that modify the D-NG and D-NC methods that we proposed for static networks. We prove their convergence rates in terms of the expected optimality gap at the cost function. Let k and K be the number of per-node gradient evaluations and per-node communications, respectively. Then the modified D-NG achieves rates O(logk/k) and O(logK/ K), and the modified D-NC rates O(1/k2) and O(1/ K2-ξ), where ξ > 0 is arbitrarily small. For comparison, the standard distributed gradient method cannot do better than Ω(1/k2/3) and Ω(1/ K2/3), on the same class of cost functions (even for static networks). Simulation examples illustrate our analytical findings.
Efficacy of tilmicosin for on-arrival treatment of bovine respiratory disease in backgrounded winter-placed feedlot calves

Year: 2013

description: A trial was conducted in a commercial feedlot in southern Alberta, Canada to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of metaphylactic treatment with tilmicosin for control of bovine respiratory disease. First-pull treatment rates for BRD (P=0.006) and arthritis (P=0.02) were significantly lower in calves administered tilmicosin on arrival compared to non-medicated controls. Calves treated with tilmicosin at arrival-processing had gained an additional 20 lb (9.1 kg) at terminal weight sort (P=0.0002), with higher average daily gain (P=0.0001) and lower dry matter conversion (P=0.008). The cost- benefit of tilmicosin metaphylaxis in these feedlot calves depended on the method of calculation. Based on reductions in BRD and arthritis treatment rates and reduced feed costs because of improved dry matter conversion, there was a net advantage of $3.41CAN/head for those calves given tilmicosin on arrival compared to non-medicated controls. Based on improved treatment rates and additional weight gain, the net advantage was $8.09CAN/head for those calves given tilmicosin compared to non-medicated controls. These economic calculations assumed performance benefits observed at terminal weight sort were retained until slaughter, approximately 30 to 40 days later.

Extended Wiener-Khinchin theorem for quantum spectral analysis

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The classical Wiener-Khinchin theorem (WKT), which can extract spectral information by classical interferometers through Fourier transform, is a fundamental theorem used in many disciplines. However, there is still need for a quantum version of WKT, which could connect correlated biphoton spectral information by quantum interferometers. Here, we extend the classical WKT to its quantum counterpart, i.e., extended WKT (e-WKT), which is based on two-photon quantum interferometry. According to the e-WKT, the difference-frequency distribution of the biphoton wavefunctions can be extracted by applying a Fourier transform on the time-domain Hong-Ou-Mandel interference (HOMI) patterns, while the sum-frequency distribution can be extracted by applying a Fourier transform on the time-domain NOON state interference (NOONI) patterns. We also experimentally verified the WKT and e-WKT in a Mach-Zehnder interference (MZI), a HOMI and a NOONI. This theorem can be directly applied to quantum spectroscopy, where the spectral correlation information of biphotons can be obtained from time-domain quantum interferences by Fourier transform. This may open a new pathway for the study of light-matter interaction at the single photon level.

description: Colostrum management, from administration of dry cow vaccines to harvesting, feeding, and monitoring its success, is a significant opportunity for direct veterinary involvement and oversight on all dairy herds. It is well known there is a critical need for colostrum to provide calories and a source of immunoglobulins for transfer of immunity from dam to her naïve offspring. The purpose of this article is to review practical steps for helping dairy clients achieve these new guidelines, from the dry period to colostrum harvest, feeding, and monitoring colostrum programs.

description: We study the dynamical properties of a diffusing lamb captured by a diffusing lion on the complex networks with various sizes of $N$. We find that the life time $ of a lamb scales as \sim N$ and the survival probability $S(N\to \infty,t)$ becomes finite on scale-free networks with degree exponent $γ>3$. However, $S(N,t)$ for $γ<3$ has a long-living tail on tree-structured scale-free networks and decays exponentially on looped scale-free networks. It suggests that the second moment of degree distribution $ is the relevant factor for the dynamical properties in diffusive capture process. We numerically find that the normalized number of capture events at a node with degree $k$, $n(k)$, decreases as $n(k)\sim k^{-σ}$. When $γ<3$, $n(k)$ still increases anomalously for $k\approx k_{max}$. We analytically show that $n(k)$ satisfies the relation $n(k)\sim k^2P(k)$ and the total number of capture events $N_{tot}$ is proportional to $, which causes the $γ$ dependent behavior of $S(N,t)$ and $.

Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 2012

description: A trial was conducted in a commercial feedlot in western Canada using fall-placed feedlot calves at moderate risk of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) to compare the efficacy of gamithromycin to tilmicosin for metaphylactic treatment of BRD. First-pull treatment rates for BRD were significantly lower (P=0.01) in calves in the gamithromycin group than in the tilmicosin group. There were no other significant differences in health or performance between the two groups. The 6.6 percentage point difference in treatment rates for BRD equated to a net advantage of $0.03 CAN/head for those calves given gamithromycin as a metaphylactic drug on arrival compared to metaphylactic treatment with tilmicosin. Drug cost and disease risk should be carefully evaluated in each feedlot and group of incoming cattle to determine the most cost-effective metaphylaxis protocol.

description: Correction of Left Displaced Abomasum (LDA) is one of the most common surgical procedures performed by livestock veterinarians. As a recent graduate, you can expect your surgical abilities and outcomes will be scrutinized by your clients. High quality outcomes start with a thorough physical examination, consideration of prognosis and future value to the dairy operation. Good restraint and sedation are paramount to patient and surgeon safety. Careful surgical prep and technique must be married to efficiency to maintain high surgical standards in a compromised environment. Aftercare and record keeping ensure a full recovery, and follow-up communication with clients will verify outcomes and build your credibility.

description: Context. Convective regions in stellar models are always associated with uncertainties, for example due to extra-mixing or the possible inaccurate position of the transition from convective to radiative transport of energy. These have a strong impact on stellar models and their fundamental parameters. The most promising method to reduce these uncertainties is to use asteroseismology to derive diagnostics probing the structural characteristics of these regions. Aims. We wish to use custom-made integrated quantities to improve the capabilities of seismology to probe convective regions in stellar interiors. We hope to increase the number of indicators obtained with structural seismic inversions to provide additional constraints on stellar models and the fundamental parameters determined from theoretical modeling. Methods. First, we present new kernels associated with a proxy of the entropy in stellar interiors. We then show how these kernels can be used to build custom-made integrated quantities probing convective regions inside stellar models. We present two indicators suited to probe convective cores and envelopes, respectively, and test them on artificial data. Results. We show that it is possible to probe both convective cores and envelopes using appropriate indicators obtained with structural inversion techniques. These indicators provide direct constraints on a proxy of the entropy of the stellar plasma, sensitive to the characteristics of convective regions. These constraints can then be used to improve the modeling of solar-like stars by providing an additional degree of selection of models obtained from classical forward modeling approaches. We also show that in order to obtain very accurate indicators, we need l = 3 modes for the envelope but that the core-conditions indicator is more flexible in terms of the seismic data required for its use.

description: We assess the impact of radiation anisotropy on the line shapes that result from relativistic magnetic Compton scattering in the low-density/high-field regime. A Monte Carlo implementation of radiation transport allows for spatial diffusion of photons in arbitrary geometries and accounts for relativistic angular redistribution. The cross section includes natural line widths and photon "spawning" from up to fourth harmonic photons. In our first paper we noted that even if the photon injection is isotropic a strongly anisotropic radiation field rapidly ensues. We now investigate the angular distribution of cyclotron spectra emerging from an internally irradiated magnetized plasma with a prescribed global geometry (either cylindrical or plane parallel) and the effects of anisotropic photon injection on the line shapes. Varying the input angular distribution permits a better understanding of the line formation process in more realistic scenarios where the radiative mechanisms are influenced by the intrinsic anisotropy of the field and by moderate relativistic beaming. In general, the line features are most pronounced along the directions of the anisotropic continuum injection and tend to be weakened in other directions, relative to the line features resulting from an isotropic continuum injection. We find that the enhancements at the line wings of the fundamental, which appear prominantly in the case of isotropic continuum injection, are strongly suppressed along the direction of anisotropy in the case of beamed continuum injection, regardless of geometry or beaming pattern.

description: This paper considers gossip distributed estimation of a (static) distributed random field (a.k.a., large-scale unknown parameter vector) observed by sparsely interconnected sensors, each of which only observes a small fraction of the field. We consider linear distributed estimators whose structure combines the information flow among sensors (the consensus term resulting from the local gossiping exchange among sensors when they are able to communicate) and the information gathering measured by the sensors (the sensing or innovations term). This leads to mixed time scale algorithms-one time scale associated with the consensus and the other with the innovations. The paper establishes a distributed observability condition (global observability plus mean connectedness) under which the distributed estimates are consistent and asymptotically normal. We introduce the distributed notion equivalent to the (centralized) Fisher information rate, which is a bound on the mean square error reduction rate of any distributed estimator; we show that under the appropriate modeling and structural network communication conditions (gossip protocol) the distributed gossip estimator attains this distributed Fisher information rate, asymptotically achieving the performance of the optimal centralized estimator. Finally, we study the behavior of the distributed gossip estimator when the measurements fade (noise variance grows) with time; in particular, we consider the maximum rate at which the noise variance can grow and still the distributed estimator being consistent, by showing that, as long as the centralized estimator is consistent, the distributed estimator remains consistent.

description: We show the infrared equivalence between a recently proposed model containing a six dimensional scalar field with a four-dimensional localized Higgs type potential and the four-dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. In the dual NJL description, the fermions are localized at the origin of a large two-dimensional compact space. Due to a classical running effect above the compactification scale, the four-fermion coupling of the NJL model increases from the cutoff scale down to the compactification scale, providing the large Fermi coupling needed for the dynamical symmetry breaking. We also present a string theory embedding of our field-theory construction. On more general grounds, our results suggest that 4d models with dynamical symmetry breaking can be given a higher dimensional description in terms of field theories with nontrivial boundary conditions in the internal space.

description: Urinary obstructed small ruminants, pigs in dystocia, and pregnancy toxemia all represent challenging, truly emergent clinical scenarios in mixed and large animal practice. Each of these scenarios, however, lend themselves to protocol development. Putting these cases on autopilot can remove a lot of the associated stress and ensure consistent patient care with consideration for client expectations and finances built right in. Initial evaluation of animals with suspected urolithiasis should include examination of the preputial hairs for grit or formed stones and exteriorization of the penis for examination and amputation of the vermiform appendage. When vermiform appendage amputation fails to relieve the obstruction, catheterization and surgical intervention, including perineal urethrostomy, tube cystotomy, minimally invasive tube cystotomy, and others should be considered. Swine presented for dystocia are often compromised and require a Cesarean section. Having a standard protocol in place for perioperative drugs, including anesthetic drugs, antimicrobials, and anti-inflammatories, reduces the veterinarian’s stress in preparing to go to surgery. Unlike other species, the surgical approach in swine is paramammary and the uterus is much more highly vascularized. Care must be taken to minimize abdominal contamination where dead piglets are involved. Ewes and does presented ill in late gestation should always be evaluated for pregnancy toxemia. Many, if not most of these animals, additionally have pneumonia and a GI parasite burden. Does and ewes that are still standing and eating can often be managed in the field, while those that are recumbent will only recover if placed on IV fluids and dextrose CRI. Producers must be educated on pregnancy toxemia risk factors, such as obesity, parasitism, and improper feeding.

description: We study the convergence behavior of the Active Mask (AM) framework, originally designed for segmenting punctate image patterns. AM combines the flexibility of traditional active contours, the statistical modeling power of region-growing methods, and the computational efficiency of multiscale and multiresolution methods. Additionally, it achieves experimental convergence to zero-change (fixed-point) configurations, a desirable property for segmentation algorithms. At its a core lies a voting-based distributing function which behaves as a majority cellular automaton. This paper proposes an empirical measure correlated to the convergence behavior of AM, and provides sufficient theoretical conditions on the smoothing filter operator to enforce convergence.

description: The genus Calotes Cuvier, 1816 “1817” currently contains 25 species, which are widely distributed in Asia and have been introduced in Africa and America. The genus includes several species complexes, for example, Calotes versicolor and Calotes mystaceus. The latter was partly resolved by describing Calotes bachae as a distinct species, but it became obvious that C. mystaceus still consists of several lineages. This study was done to resolve those lineages and we herein restrict Calotes mystaceus to southern coastal Myanmar, while describing three new species occurring in Cambo-dia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and India. The new species are distinguishable from each other by male coloration with C. goetzi sp. n. having prominent dark brown dorsolateral blotches, C. geissleri sp. n. having orange to light brown blotches and a whitish stripe from snout-tip to hind limb insertion and C. vindumbarbatus sp. n. having a whitish stripe from tip of snout continuing to beyond limb insertion. Mean uncorrected p-distances for COI between C. mystaceus and other taxa are: C. goetzi sp. n. (=0.0603); C. vindumbarbatus sp. n. (=0.0656) and C. bachae (=0.1415). Mean uncorrec-ted p-distances for 12S between C. mystaceus and other taxa are: C. goetzi sp. n. (=0.0291), C. vindumbarbatus sp. n. (=0.0375), C. bachae (=0.0548) and C. geissleri sp. n. (=0.0457).

description: A total of 202 Angus steers with an average body weight (BW) of 678ñ73 lb (308ñ33.2 kg) were used to evaluate the effects of undifferentiated bovine respiratory disease (BRD) on feedlot performance and carcass quality in cattle marketed at a common yield grade end-point. Calves were fed in a single pen in a commercial feedyard. Individual weights were collected on arrival, at 75 days on feed, and immediately prior to shipment at time of harvest. Cattle were harvested in three different groups based on day 75 BW and ultrasound evaluation: 122, 156, or 178 days on feed. Cattle treated two or more times weighed less upon feedlot arrival, had greater mortality, lower average daily gain (ADG), lower day 75 BW, and less external fat deposition on day 75 than cattle not requiring treatment for BRD (P less than 0.05). Overall ADG was lower for cattle requiring either one or two or more treatments compared to cattle requiring no treatments; however, ADG from day 75 through harvest was similar among cattle requiring zero, one, and two or more treatments. There was no effect of BRD treatment on hot carcass weight, carcass quality, or yield grade (P less than 0.05). Lengthening the feeding period to attain a comparable body composition for cattle that were treated for BRD, compared to cattle never treated for BRD, resulted in similar quality grades.

description: Nematode parasitism of feedlot cattle has received very little research attention. It is assumed that anthelmintics administered at feedlot entry are effective and that feedlot conditions preclude post-treatment infection by helminths. Given the paucity of information about feedlot nematodiasis, the current research project was conducted. During October of 2010, 104 animals were selected at random from approximately 1600 beef heifers received at one feedlot in California and penned as a group. Of those, 96 were administered a generic, injectable formulation of ivermectin at label dose, while the remaining eight animals were left as untreated controls. Controls and eight randomly selected treated animals were necropsied for parasite quantifications at eight weeks post-treatment. At the end of the feeding period (approximately 135 days post-treatment), parasite quantifications were performed on nine animals selected at random from the remaining 88 animals. Fecal samples were periodically collected from cattle in the feedlot during the study. As evidenced by reductions in both fecal egg count and parasite quantifications at necropsy, a lack of drug efficacy was apparent for Cooperia and Ostertagia, and suspect for Haemonchus infections.

The SH signal has been investigated as a function of the temperature and the static magnetic field. The results are discussed in the framework of models reported in the literature. We show that the peculiarities of the SH signal are related to the specific properties of the sample. A comparison with the results obtained in ceramic and crystalline YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7) shows that the second-harmonic emission in MgB2 is weaker than that observed in ceramic YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7).

description: Pregnancy toxemia is one of the most common diseases in sheep and goats occurring during the last month of gestation. Clinical signs and blood chemistry findings from 22 clinical cases of pregnancy toxemia in dairy goats are described. All were maintained on a single farm that used an intensive dry-lot production system. Clinical signs observed most consistently were anorexia, ruminal atony, polypnea, drooping ears, a preference for recumbency with reluctance to stand or walk, swelling (subcutaneous edema) of the limbs, inability to stand or walk, and neurological signs. Major blood chemistry results showed decreased potassium, glucose, pH, bicarbonate, base excess, and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2). The prognosis was very poor in goats with a case fatality rate of 86%, even though a caesarean section was performed or kidding was induced, and medical treatments were administered in an attempt to correct the underlying glucose deficit and metabolic acidosis. The mortality rate was 100% in 11 does with pregnancy toxemia when the blood pH was 7.122 or lower.

description: The inner structure and properties (temperature, mass) of the circumstellar disk of Herbig star MWC480 are studied by stellar interferometry method used in the infrared and are interpreted using semi-analytical models. From these models, the SED (Spectral Energy Distribution) was fitted and multi- wavelength intensity map of the source were calculated. The intensity map provides the input for modeling the Keck Interferometer (KI) data in the near-infrared (near-IR) and the data of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) with the mid-infrared instrument MIDI. We conclude that with our limited set of data, we can fit the SED, the Keck visibilities and the MIDI visibilities using a two-components disk model. Furthermore, we suspect that MWC480 has a transitional dusty disk. However, we need more MIDI observations with different baseline orientations to confirm our modeling.

description: Vaccination is an important component for the prevention and control of disease in cattle. However, too often vaccines are viewed as a catch-all solution for management and nutrition errors; the “best” vaccine can never overcome these deficiencies. Proper vaccination in the young and developing heifer is the key to long-term development of that animal as a reproductive unit in the herd. Modified-live vaccines (MLV) have been used because of the good antibody response, longer duration of immunity, fewer doses needed per animal, and lower cost. However, non-adjuvanted MLV vaccines fail to booster well vaccinated animals, as active vaccine-induced immunity neutralizes vaccine virus preventing the MLV from replicating and preventing a booster immune response. Improved adjuvants have increased the scope and duration of both MLV and inactivated virus immunity. The periparturient period (the last 3 weeks prior to calving and the first 3 weeks following calving) are poor times to initiate an immune response—hormonal, dietary and metabolic factors limit immune responsiveness. Postpartum is also a difficult time to vaccinate as lactation energy demands supercedes immunity. Each vaccine program needs to be designed based on animal flow, actual “disease” threats, and labor on the farm.

description: This study was part of a larger study conducted by Texas AgriLife Extension Service surveying livestock producers, livestock market employees, and students studying animal agriculture to determine their perceptions of animal agriculture's animal welfare practices as well as their understanding of Beef Quality Assurance (BQA). This paper focuses on students engaged in the study of production animal agriculture. To identify students' overall perception of animal welfare in production agriculture, five constructs were developed. The five constructs of animal welfare used in this study were: (1) production agriculture; (2) production methods; (3) attitudes toward animals in general; (4) attitudes toward animals in production agriculture; and (5) production practices. In addition, students were surveyed to assess their basic knowledge of BQA practices. Overall, results indicated that students felt production agriculture was doing a good job as it relates to animal welfare, with favorable attitudes toward current animal agriculture production practices. Student responses to the BQA-related questions indicated a lack of knowledge of BQA principles.

Coping with the stress of practice

description: Veterinary practice is stressful and always will be. Stress is a natural animal adaptation that allows us to face challenges and survive. The thinking human brain gives us the unique opportunity to convert a physiologic mechanism meant to protect us into a chronic condition that causes us bodily harm. How then do we create coping strategies to stop our propensity for chronic, maladaptive stress? While there is excellent data that proper diet, exercise and sleep habits help, bovine veterinarians may be limited in their ability to employ these tools. Practicing techniques like meditation, gratitude, self-compassion, and story-checking, all of which can be done in the truck between calls, can wake us up to our habits of thought and change the volume and channel on the chatter in our brains. Waking up to our thoughts is the first step to changing how we relate to stress as it arises in the moment and being more resilient in our ability to cope with it.

Spherical particle in a nematic liquid crystal under an external field: the Saturn ring regime

description: We consider a nematic liquid crystal occupying the exterior region in R^3 outside of a spherical particle, with radial strong anchoring. Within the context of the Landau-de Gennes theory, we study minimizers subject to a strong external field, modelled by an additional term which favors nematic alignment parallel to the field. When the external field is high enough we obtain a scaling law for the energy. The energy scale corresponds to minimizers concentrating their energy in a boundary layer around the particle, with quadrupolar symmetry. This suggests the presence of a Saturn ring defect around the particle, rather than a dipolar director field typical of a point defect.

description: Bovine anaplasmosis, caused by the intracellular rickettsia Anaplasma marginale, continues to impact cattle production in the US. Control and management of bovine anaplasmosis is influenced by our understanding of the complexity of this pathogen, interactions with both cattle and tick hosts, and the disease. A. marginale is maintained in nature through biological transmission by ticks and mechanical transmission by any means of blood transfer from infected to susceptible cattle. The major surface protein 5 (MSP5)-based cELISA, approved for use in the US and Canada, has proven to be a sensitive serologic test. However, more recently this test has been shown to be cross-reactive with closely related organisms, including A. phagocytophilum, because of the conservation of MSP5. Therefore, additional molecular tests may be required in some situations to confirm the identity of the infective agent. While tetracycline antimicrobials are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for prevention or treatment of acute anaplasmosis, no antimicrobials are labeled for elimination of persistent A. marginale infection. Administration of tetracyclines is an important means of preventing clinical anaplasmosis, but does not prevent cattle from becoming infected with A. marginale. The mode of action of tetracycline is bacteriostatic rather than bactericidal, and its long-term use does not consistently clear cattle of persistent A. marginale infections. USDA approved vaccines for anaplasmosis are currently unavailable. The challenges of vaccine development include the antigenic variation of A. marginale that occurs during persistent infections and the increased antigenic diversity of A. marginale strains, especially in areas of ongoing cattle movement. The overall goal of this and a previous overview is to summarize the current status of knowledge and research on bovine anaplasmosis, and to provide veterinarians with answers to frequently asked questions.

Constraining the $^7$Be($p,γ$)$^8$B $S$-factor with the new precise $^7$Be solar neutrino flux from Borexino

description: Among the solar fusion reactions, the rate of the $^7$Be($p,γ$)$^8$B reaction is one of the most difficult to determine rates. In a number of previous experiments, its astrophysical $S$-factor has been measured at $E$ = 0.1-2.5 MeV center-of-mass energy. However, no experimental data is available below 0.1 MeV. Thus, an extrapolation to solar energies is necessary, resulting in significant uncertainty for the extrapolated $S$-factor. On the other hand, the measured solar neutrino fluxes are now very precise. Therefore, the problem of the $S$-factor determination is turned around here: Using the measured $^7$Be and $^8$B neutrino fluxes and the Standard Solar Model, the $^7$Be($p,γ$)$^8$B astrophysical $S$-factor is determined at the solar Gamow peak. In addition, the $^3$He($α$,$γ$)$^7$Be $S$-factor is redetermined with a similar method.

description: Veterinary professionals are highly committed and dedicated individuals who work hard to care for their patients, clients, colleagues, and communities. For those who devote their lives to the service of others, the physical, emotional, and spiritual demands can lead to exhaustion. Day-to-day work expectations and pressures can at times feel overwhelming and isolating, and have detrimental effects on personal and professional wellbeing. The natural response may be to work harder, to give more, until there is nothing left to give. The good news is that as caring individuals, you have the capacity to focus that care on yourself. With development of healthy practices, you can continue to effectively provide comprehensive and compassionate care for others, while taking care of yourself. This paper will address and define some of the main challenges to health and wellbeing and identify strategies and tools individuals can implement to address them.
