Social and feeding behavior of dairy calves in automated milk feeder systems
Creators: name: Gonzalez, Maria Elisa Montes
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2022
Subjects: Animal management

description: Calves raised in automated milk feeder (AMF) systems benefit from social interaction and having access to large amounts of milk, which they can consume in multiple small meals. Additionally, these systems record longitudinal feeding behavior measurements on each calf. However, if group size, composition, and disease detection are not optimal, the health and performance of calves can be compromised. The analysis of AMF data can provide information that may allow for improved disease detection and group management to maximize health and welfare of pre-weaned dairy calves. A proper understanding of the data generated by AMF and its context are essential to derive meaningful information about health status and group dynamics of dairy calves. Because the goal is that farmers can use this information to support decisions, six years of historical data from a commercial dairy farm were first collected, described, and stored in a research data ecosystem and then used to evaluate feeding and social behavior of calves.The first chapter evaluates the effect of environmental and biological factors on the feeding behavior of 9,737 calves. The results showed that reductions in milk consumption and drinking speed preceded the detection of bovine respiratory disease using farm protocols. In addition to health status, temperature humidity index, birth weight, and parity of the dam also influenced milk consumption and drinking speed. Therefore, including data on the traits of the individuals and the conditions of their environment can improve predictive models for sickness detection and performance assessment.The second chapter evaluates the use of AMF records and social network analysis. Interactions that occur at the autofeeder from 254 calves in five groups were used to rank individual animals and assess the groups’ stability. Enrollment order was associated with dominance rating, based on feeder displacements. Birth weight, however, had no influence on dominance rating. Social network analysis showed that although displacements are not constant over time, calves did not displace every other calf in their group, indicating some selectivity. This study demonstrates the possibility of using longitudinal data from precision technology to assess group dynamics.

title: In-situ, High-Frequency Assessment of Phytoplankton Functional Groups and Their Ecology in Diverse Marine Areas
Creators: name: Epinoux, Alexandre
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2021

description: Challenges ahead in phytoplankton ecology lie increasingly within the small scales, spatially and temporally, and how the diverse components of the community adapt to biotic and abiotic constraints. Despite advances made possible with new instrumentation, still little is known about the distribution of phytoplankton assemblages at the meso/submesoscale and at the diel scale. The work presented here aims at investigating phytoplankton functional groups at those scales, with a focus on their distribution and traits through time and space in different areas, and on the role of environmental factors in shaping these distribution patterns. For this purpose, a pulse-shape flow cytometer was used in-situ at high-frequency, either on-board vessels or at fixed sites, to sample ocean-to-coast gradients, and coastal areas. Besides estimating concentrations of the different functional groups, a relationship derived from cell scatter helped estimating the biomass represented by each of them, and their average cellular biomass. The total biomass of phytoplankton and the individual biomass of optically-defined groups varied significantly in relation to water masses and their properties. A refined trait-based approach was applied to qualify phytoplankton functional groups from optical features, and the diel variability of these optical features was explored. Traits were significantly correlated with several abiotic factors, mainly temperature and salinity. Multivariate ordination techniques were applied to cope with the amount of data handled and revealed patterns in phytoplankton distribution, significantly tied to hydrological features down to the submesoscale. A Cytometric Diversity Index was calculated per sample and appeared tied to water mass properties, which determined the abundance of each phytoplankton size-classes. Picophytoplankton was found to be most abundant in every location (Eastern North Atlantic, Western Mediterranean Sea, North Adriatic) and drove total phytoplankton abundance (e.g. accounting for 94.2 ± 4% in the Atlantic), while total biomass was driven by nanoeukaryotes (87 ± 6%) and occasionally by microeukaryotes (0% to 58%) and was tied both to environmental conditions and hydrological features.

description: The inspection/maintenance programmes exist in most countries, aiming at vehicular emission reduction through exhaust emission monitoring and compliance policy to the extant norms. However, considering the absence of an intra-vehicle approach, the higher success rate of vehicles towards compliance policy, remains a grey area. The paper attempts to examine this issue through the application of an exhaust emission index (EEI) for petrol-driven cars. The study observed two different scales finding that the Bharat Stage emission norm scale method reports lower ranges of EEI compared with the linear scale (LS) method (EEImin-BSNS = 1.12 and EEImin-LS = 1.25; EEImax-BSNS = 20.70 and EEImax-LS = 29.54). The LS method and the maximum operator form of aggregation are recommended as these can find the highest number of non-compliant cars (21.81% and 12.03% of the ‘poor’ class, respectively) in the whole fleet tested. The EEI give a more scientific approach to vehicular emission evaluation, like what the air quality index does in the case of the ambient air quality. It helps vehicle owners know their car's emission status as a quick reference index (EEI). The accurate status of such emission further helps the policymakers affect the better phasing-out norms.

description: Using a general relativistic exact model for spherical structures in a cosmological background, we have put forward an algorithm to calculate the test particle geodesics within such cosmological structures in order to obtain the velocity profile of stars or galaxies. The rotation curve thus obtained is based on a density profile and is independent of any mass definition which is not unique in general relativity. It is then shown that this general relativistic rotation curves for a toy model and a NFW density profile are almost identical to the corresponding Newtonian one, although the general relativistic masses may be quite different.

description: We propose to create pairs of semifluxons starting from a flat-phase state in long, optical 0-pi-0 Josephson junctions formed with internal electronic states of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. In this optical system, we can dynamically tune the length of the pi-junction, the detuning of the optical transition, or the strength of the laser-coupling, to induce transitions from the flat-phase state to such a semifluxon-pair state. Similarly as in superconducting 0-pi-0 junctions, there are two, energetically degenerate semifluxon-pair states. A linear mean-field model with two internal electronic states explains this degeneracy and shows the distinct static field configuration in a phase-diagram of the junction parameters. This optical system offers the possibility to dynamically create a coherent superposition of the distinct semifluxon-pair states and observe macroscopic quantum oscillation.

description: We present the results of the analysis of our recent interferometric observations of Betelgeuse, using the AMBER instrument of the VLTI. Using the medium spectral resolution mode ($R \sim 1500$) we detected the presence of the water vapour and carbon monoxide (CO) molecules in the H and K bands. We also derived the photospheric angular diameter in the continuum. By analysing the depth of the molecular lines and the interferometric visibilities, we derived the column densities of the molecules, as well as the temperature and the size of the corresponding regions in the atmosphere of Betelgeuse (the MOLsphere) using a single shell model around the photosphere. Our results confirm the findings by Perrin \et al\ (\cite{Perrin2004}) and Ohnaka \et al\ (\cite{Ohnaka2011}) that the H$_2$O and CO molecules are distributed around Betelgeuse in a MOLsphere extending to approximately 1.3 times the star's photospheric radius.

On the formation of CIII 4647-50-51 and CIII 5696 in O star atmospheres

description: We investigate the formation of CIII 4647-51-50 and CIII 5696 in the atmosphere of O stars to see if they can be reliably used for abundance determinations. We use atmosphere models computed with the code CMFGEN. The key physical ingredients explaining the formation of the CIII lines are extracted from comparisons of models with different stellar parameters and through examining rates controlling the level populations. The strength of CIII 5696 critically depends on UV CIII lines at 386, 574 and 884 A. These lines control the CIII 5696 upper and lower level population. CIII 884 plays a key role in late O stars where it drains the lower level of CIII 5696. CIII 386 and CIII 574 are more important at early spectral types. The overlap of these UV lines with FeIV 386.262, FeIV 574.232 and SV 884.531 influences the radiative transfer at 386, 574 and 884 A, and consequently affects the strength of CIII 5696. CIII 4650 is mainly controlled by the CIII 538 line which acts as a drain on its lower level. FeIV 538.057 interacts with CIII 538 and has an impact on the CIII 4650 profile. Low temperature dielectronic recombinations have a negligible effect on the line profiles. Given our current understanding of the stellar and wind properties of O stars, and in view of the present results, the determination of accurate carbon abundances from CIII 4647-51-50 and CIII 5696 is an extremely challenging task. Uncertainties lower than a factor of two on C/H determinations based only on these two sets of lines should be regarder as highly doubtful. Our results provide a possible explanation of the variability of CIII 4650 in Of?p stars.

description: This paper studies a difference operator for stochastic systems whose specifications are represented by Abstract Probabilistic Automata (APAs). In the case refinement fails between two specifications, the target of this operator is to produce a specification APA that represents all witness PAs of this failure. Our contribution is an algorithm that allows to approximate the difference of two APAs with arbitrary precision. Our technique relies on new quantitative notions of distances between APAs used to assess convergence of the approximations, as well as on an in-depth inspection of the refinement relation for APAs. The procedure is effective and not more complex to implement than refinement checking.

description: This text is intended as an introduction for those starting postgraduate study of Manx law, having completed an undergraduate programme containing a substantial proportion of English law. Thus, it should be useful for those undertaking independent research into Manx law as part of a higher degree and, a much larger constituency, articled clerks coming to grips with their new jurisdiction, having completed the academic stages of their legal education in England. Accordingly, the text assumes a certain level of basic knowledge about the English jurisdiction, and English traditions in law-making. The discussion of criminal law and procedure aims to be comparative, seeking to bring out those areas where Manx law and English law may differ, rather than detailing areas of similarity. This Part of the text, in particular, might well appear incomprehensible to those coming from other disciplines, including those with a general interest in Manx culture, rather than Manx law.

description: Future long-duration space missions will take humans farther from the support resources of Earth than ever before. These missions will require microgravity surgical technologies in the case of an emergency that necessitates medical intervention. This experiment integrated three different surgical technologies for testing in weightlessness on parabolic flights: a surgical containment dome, a multi-function surgical wand, and a microgravity blood-air separator. Two fluid loops were utilized: one in which the surgical wand, containment dome, and a wound model were used to provide a realistic mixture of blood simulant and air to the blood-air separator. The other fluid loop used prescribed mixture ratios of air and blood to test the performance of the separator under varying conditions. The results of this experiment showed that the multi-functional surgical tool and dome functioned as designed. In addition, each separator successfully separated the blood and air from the mixture, allowing for future blood transfusion. With this demonstration, each system used in this experiment qualifies as technology readiness level 6. Advancing the technology readiness level of these technologies further will require long duration zero-g testing on-orbit before inclusion in authentic space mission emergency surgical strategy.

description: We compute the mass of the Higgs particle in a scheme in which SUSY is broken at a large scale M_{SS} well above the electroweak scale M_{EW}. Below M_{SS} one assumes one is just left with the SM with a fine-tuned Higgs potential. Under standard unification assumptions one can compute the mass of the Higgs particle as a function of the SUSY breaking scale M_{SS}. For M_{SS} > 10^{10} GeV one obtains m_H=126 \pm 3 GeV, consistent with CMS and ATLAS results. For lower values of M_{SS} the values of the Higgs mass tend to those of a fine-tuned MSSM with m_H < 130 GeV. These results support the idea that the measured value of the Higgs mass at LHC may be considered as indirect evidence for the existence of SUSY at some (not necessarily low) mass scale.

description: We study the peculiar wrinkling pattern of an elastic plate stamped into a spherical mold. We show that the wavelength of the wrinkles decreases with their amplitude, but reaches a maximum when the amplitude is of the order of the thickness of the plate. The force required for compressing the wrinkled plate presents a maximum independent of the thickness. A model is derived and verified experimentally for a simple one-dimensional case. This model is extended to the initial situation through an effective Young modulus representing the mechanical behavior of wrinkled state. The theoretical predictions are shown to be in good agreement with the experiments. This approach provides a complement to the "tension field theory" developed for wrinkles with unconstrained amplitude.

description: In this work we present an application of a theory of vessels to solution of the evolutionary Non Liner Schrodinger (NLS) equation. The classes of functions for which the initial value problem is solvable relies on the existence of an analogue of the inverse scattering theory for the usual NLS equation. This approach is similar to the classical approach of Zackarov-Shabbath for solving of evolutionary NLS equation, but has an advantage of simpler formulas and new techniques and notions to construct solutions of the evolutionary NLS equation.

Look at us as people too: the phenomenological experiences of traumatic childbirth in primi- and multiparous Black women
Creators: name: Rhoden, Ruby Joy
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: The current study explored defining characteristics of Black women’s experience of traumatic childbirth via semi-structured interviews to learn how this group is uniquely impacted. This study addresses three questions. First, what are Black women’s experiences of childbirth trauma? Second, are these themes unique to Black race and thus different from the current literature/findings normed on white experiences? Third, how can psychologists more efficiently engage Black women in therapy and tailor psychological treatments to include more culturally appropriate elements that will be most efficacious? Using Colaizzi’s Seven-Step Descriptive Phenomenological Method, qualitative analysis of participant interviews revealed ten central themes divided amongst five categories related to Black women's experiences of childbirth trauma. The following categories and themes include determinants of trauma (lack of provider communication, non-observation of patient and human rights, and inadequate response to pain), patient health behaviors and literacy (health literacy, patient advocacy, and awareness of Black maternal mortality), racial impacts on care quality, emotional experiences, and consequences of childbirth trauma (decreased interest in subsequent children and diminished postpartum recovery). Analysis of the distribution of symptom inventory ratings (PPQ and EPDS) after traumatic childbirth experiences did not statistically differ between Black women and known white norms. Additional exploration of the present childbirth trauma literature indicate that experiences of inadequate response to pain, awareness of Black maternal mortality, and racial impacts on care quality are unique to Black women. Themes related to dissemination and implementation were also identified using the RE-AIM model. Relevant themes include reach (messages to increase treatment-seeking behaviors, ideal therapist qualities, decreasing resource obscurity, and systemic barriers to treatment), adoption (help-seeking via communal, state, and federal agencies and need for integrated perinatal healthcare), and implementation (culturally-centered coping). Implications future research, culturally informed treatment, and dissemination and implementation practices are also discussed.

Charge density distribution and optical response of the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface

description: We present calculations of the charge density profile, subband occupancy and ellipsometry spectra of the electron gas at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface. The calculations employ self-consistent Hartree and random phase approximations, a tight binding parametrization of the band structure and a model for the optical phonon of SrTiO3. The dependence of the spatial structure and occupancy of subbands on the magnitude of the polarization charge at the interface and the dielectric function is determined. The interface-confined subbands may be labelled by the symmetry (xy, xz, or yz) of the Ti d-orbitals from which they mainly derive. The xy-derived band nearest the interface contains the major proportion of the electronic charge, but a large number of more distant, slightly occupied xy-derived bands are also found. Depending on the magnitude of the polarization charge, zero, one, or two xz/yz derived subbands are found. When present, these xz/yz bands give the dominant contribution to the long-distance tail of the interface charge. The response to applied ac electric fields polarized parallel and perpendicular to the interface is calculated and the results are presented in terms of ellipsometry angles. Two features are found: a dip in the spectrum near the LO feature of the STO phonon and a peak at the higher energy. We show that the form and magnitude of the dip is related to the Drude response of carriers moving in the plane of the interface while the peak arises from the plasmon excitation of the xz and yz electrons. The relation of the features of the subband occupancies and the in-plane conductivities is given.

title: Towards a Novel Bioremediation System for Microplastic Contaminated Soils

description: The proliferation of plastic, more specifically poly(ethylene) terephthalate (PET) as a durable, long-lasting material has also led to the polymer becoming an unprecedented environmental pollutant. Despite the technology that facilitated the growth of plastic production, the means of disposing the plastic has further negative impacts to the surrounding environment. Various researchers have explored the development potential of different bioremediation systems capable of removing different plastic polymers from the environment by biological degradation. Since the discovery of the PET hydrolysing enzyme, PETase in 2016, the bioremediation of PET is much more plausible. In this study we address a novel approach to remove microplastic pollution from terrestrial ecosystems. The model organism, Dictyostelium discoideum, was selected due to their ecological niche and fully established molecular tool kit. This study aimed to produce a model organism capable of secreting the PETase enzyme into their surrounding environment. The generation of a D. discoideum compatible vector plasmids containing the PETase gene was faced with a multitude of hurdles linked to the repeat content and A/T richness of the D. discoideum genome. Transformation of D. discoideum with the PETase gene was perceived as successful, and provided justification for further work towards the creation of a suitable bioremediation system.

description: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are widely used in different domains of applications, such as maritime navigation, museums visits and route planning, as well as ecological, demographical and economical applications. Nowadays, organizations need sophisticated and adapted GIS-based Decision Support System (DSS) to get quick access to relevant information and to analyze data with respect to geographic information, represented not only as spatial objects, but also as maps. Several research works on GIS personalization was proposed: Face the great challenge of developing both the theory and practice to provide personalization GIS visualization systems. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of literature on presented GIS personalization approaches. A benchmarking study of GIS personalization methods is proposed. Several evaluation criteria are used to identify the existence of trends as well as potential needs for further investigations.

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: This paper reports on the temperature evolution of local elastic interactions between ferromagnetic CoFe films and ferroelectric BaTiO3 substrates. Polarization microscopy measurements indicate that growth-induced stripe domains in the CoFe films are preserved and strengthened during cooling and heating through the structural phase transitions of BaTiO3. Moreover, rotation of the magnetic easy axes at the tertragonal-to-orthorhombic transition (T = 278 K) and at T = 380 K simultaneously switches the local magnetization of both uniaxial domains by 90 degrees. Irreversible changes in the ferromagnetic domain pattern are induced when the room-temperature ferroelectric domain structure is altered after temperature cycling.

description: We consider a multi-way relay network with an orthogonal uplink and correlated sources, and we characterise reliable communication (in the usual Shannon sense) with a single-letter expression. The characterisation is obtained using a joint source-channel random-coding argument, which is based on a combination of Wyner et al.'s "Cascaded Slepian-Wolf Source Coding" and Tuncel's "Slepian-Wolf Coding over Broadcast Channels". We prove a separation theorem for the special case of two nodes; that is, we show that a modular code architecture with separate source and channel coding functions is (asymptotically) optimal. Finally, we propose a practical coding scheme based on low-density parity-check codes, and we analyse its performance using multi-edge density evolution.

description: Androsace brevis is a protected species according to Regional Law 10/2008, included in the National Red List because of its status as an endemic and as a rare species in its distribution range. It is a high altitude, light-demanding cushion plant, with an early flowering period (end of May to the start of June), present above 2000 m asl on rocky ridges exposed to strong winds, on prealpine terrigenous substrates. The distribution range of A. brevis is not yet well defined, and is peculiar compared to the distribution range of other Lombardy endemic species; it consists of two large discontinuous populations separated by Lake Como, on the Western Orobian Alps and the Lugano Prealps and a small portion of the Lepontine Alps, in addition to more disjointed populations in the Rhaetian Alps. The University of Milan has started a research project that aims to define in detail the distribution range of this species (and the causes of this distribution), its distribution, autoecology and sinecology.
title:  La tutela del benessere degli animali: principio di non discriminazione e bilanciamento tra valori
Creators: name: Moschetta  ,  Teresa Maria
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2022

description: Il presente contributo intende analizzare in che modo il riconoscimento degli animali quali ‘esseri senzienti’ possa determinare l’esigenza di un nuovo bilanciamento tra principi e valori espressi nell’ordinamento giuridico dell’Unione europea. La recente giurisprudenza della Corte
di giustizia avente ad oggetto il bilanciamento tra valori nella macellazione rituale mostra come, in futuro, il benessere degli animali potrà essere considerato non solo come un ‘obiettivo generale’ nella definizione delle politiche dell’Unione ma anche come parametro per valutare la legittimità delle normative nazionali attraverso una interpretazione evolutiva della Carta dei diritti ondamentali. Una tale prospettiva costituisce un importante passo in avanti nell’apertura dell’Unione europea ad un sistema valoriale non strettamente antropocentrico. Ciononostante, rimane aperta la questione del rispetto del principio di non discriminazione nel godimento di diritti che possono trovare un limite nelle norme poste a tutela degli animali.
