Navigating the regulations of regulatory paperwork
Creators: name: Mays, Glennon
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2019

description: Regulatory veterinary medicine includes activities many consider routine practice duties. Activities also focus toward identification and prevention of disease, foreign or domestic, and the examination of imported/exported animals, animal products, or plant consignments. This discussion is limited to the more usual activities within clinical practice. Several topics are examined; however, the list is not exhaustive.

Use of arm-free devices in bovine reproductive ultrasound
Creators: name: Wierman, Erika L.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2019

description: Ultrasonography has been employed in bovine practice since the 1980s for visualizing and evaluating the reproductive tract, diagnosing pregnancy, identifying anomalies, and determining the age and gender of a fetus. The modality has advanced quickly since then, introducing new technologies, techniques, and equipment to facilitate its use and improve its accuracy and efficacy. Among these advancements is the advent of arm-free ultrasound with the use of a transducer handle, which allows the user to conduct an ultrasound exam without inserting his or her arm into the rectum of the animal. The intention is to increase exam speed, decrease animal discomfort, improve reach, and reduce chronic and overuse injuries to the operator. We conducted a survey to determine why and how ultrasonographers employ this tool, whether they had experienced any negative consequences from its use, and what effect it has on their reproductive practice.

The purchase and exit process
Creators: name: McCormick, David
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2019

description: A successful practice purchase, sale, buy-in or buy-out is a life-changing event for all involved. It is worth making the time to plan your ideal purchase or sale and then a backup plan or two. All involved should make decisions with full knowledge of the relevant facts and have a plan that once put into place, will get you where you want to be, when you want to be there. The material provided in these proceedings is intended to supplement the session taught at the Conference. While the information below is written for the buyer/seller, it is important the practice manager/administrator also be familiar with the process and potential pitfalls – she/he is a part of the ongoing core of the practice and can have significant influence on the stability and success of a transaction.

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2019

description: Giving your team feedback on their performance is your most important job as a supervisory leader. Your team won’t know how they are doing unless you give them feedback that they can understand and use. Even worse, without good feedback, employees who are performing badly might think they are doing great, and employees who are excelling might think they are failing. In either case, feedback is powerfully connected with motivation, either to improve substandard performance or to continue improving already strong performance.

Creating careers, not just jobs
Creators: name: Whitehair, Michael
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2019

description: When the baby boomer generation first began looking for employment decades ago, they had the mindset that they would be starting a career, which would involve taking ownership, responsibility, dedication and a time investment in order to achieve personal satisfaction as well as having strong ties to the community and professional associations. The mindset of the millennial generation differs, however, as many are just looking for a job and value their leisure at a higher level than previous generations. This can create a challenge for baby boomers who want to recruit hires who have a similar work ethic and who will eventually take over the practice. This paper will make observations and suggestions about how this gap can be addressed so that employers can identify and attract new hires who associate work with being a career and not just a job, which allows practices to continue offering a high level of service to their clients.

description: Planning for your exit can make a significant difference as to how and when you exit as well as what your practice may be worth. The checklists and information discussed in this presentation are guides to prepare for an exit from ownership. The exit could involve selling the practice to another veterinarian that does not work in the practice. It could also involve selling all, or part of your practice to a current associate doctor. Having a known buyer helps to define the timeline and potential transition issues.

description: Veterinary practices are small businesses, and subject to the same challenges that other small businesses face. As the business grows it becomes necessary to add personnel, both professionals and support staff, to serve customers and support a host of other necessary tasks. Veterinarians have identified human resource management (HRM) as an important need for growing practices. Ideally, better HRM will help veterinary practices achieve several important outcomes, such as customer satisfaction, high employee performance, strong business results, employee fulfillment, and minimal employee turnover. This presentation reports on results of the AABP human resources management survey

description: We present 31.5 micron imaging photometry of 11 nearby Seyfert galaxies observed from the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) using the Faint Object infraRed CAmera for the SOFIA Telescope (FORCAST). We tentatively detect extended 31 micron emission for the first time in our sample. In combination with this new data set, subarcsecond resolution 1-18 micron imaging and 7.5-13 micron spectroscopic observations were used to compute the nuclear spectral energy distribution (SED) of each galaxy. We found that the turnover of the torus emission does not occur at wavelengths <31.5 micron, which we interpret as a lower-limit for the wavelength of peak emission. We used CLUMPY torus models to fit the nuclear infrared (IR) SED and infer trends in the physical parameters of the AGN torus for the galaxies in the sample. Including the 31.5 micron nuclear flux in the SED 1) reduces the number of clumpy torus models compatible with the data, and 2) modifies the model output for the outer radial extent of the torus for 10 of the 11 objects. Specifically, six (60%) objects show a decrease in radial extent while four (40%) show an increase. We find torus outer radii ranging from <1pc to 8.4 pc

description: The commonly observed absorption around 265 nm in AlN is hampering the outcoupling efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) emitting in the UV-C regime. Carbon impurities in the nitrogen sublattice (CN) of AlN are believed to be the origin of this absorption. A specially tailored experiment using a combination of ion implantation of boron, carbon, and neon with subsequent high-temperature annealing allows to separate the influence of intrinsic point defects and carbon impurities regarding this absorption. Herein, the presented results reveal the relevance of the intrinsic nitrogen-vacancy defect VN. This is in contradiction to the established explanation based on CN defects as the defect causing the 265 nm absorption and will be crucial for further UV-LED improvement. Finally, in this article, a new interpretation of the 265 nm absorption is introduced, which is corroborated by density functional theory (DFT) results from the past decade, which are reviewed and discussed based on the new findings.

Using a simple string configuration, we derive a formula, $(M-m_c)^2=πσL$, whose coefficient of the r.h.s. is just 1/2 of that of a light meson with two light quarks. A numerical plot is obtained for $D$ mesons of experimental data as well as several theoretical models, which shows good agreement with this formula.

description: Conflict exists in every workplace. We might ignore it, or cover it up, or avoid it, but it will still exist. Conflict is not inherently bad for an organization. Dynamic, trusting organizations can have productive conflict as people constantly seek ways to improve. On the other hand, poorly managed and unresolved conflict can be highly destructive. This presentation discusses recognition of conflict, and strategies to successfully manage them.

High Throughout Genome Editing in Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Neurons

Subjects: subject: synapse
subject: CRISPR (Genetics)
subject: Neurons
subject: super resolution imaging

description: Studying the localization and abundance of neuronal proteins provides valuable insights into their physiological significance and interactions. Labeling of synaptic proteins has been traditionally achieved by immunohistochemistry or viral overexpression of fusion proteins, but these approaches have several limitations. The molecular architecture of synapses comprises hundreds of pre- and post-synaptic molecules, yet only a small fraction of these molecules can be reliably visualized due to the limited availability of specific, high-affinity antibodies. Moreover, immunohistochemistry and overexpression can introduce artifacts and inaccurately recapitulate the distribution of proteins in live cells. Mapping the synaptic proteome with precision and without being encumbered by the availability of quality antibodies, necessitates the use of genetically encoded fluorescent reporters that can be used to tag any molecule of interest. To meet this need, we designed and optimized a CRISPR-HDR strategy to visualize the endogenous expression patterns of neuronal proteins while leaving a minimal genetic footprint. Given the low HDR efficiency in post-mitotic cells like neurons, we leveraged our ability to edit human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) efficiently and induce them into mature, glutamatergic human neurons (iN). Using our approach, we successfully knocked in a HaloTag at the RIMS1 locus in hESCs, isolated pure RIMS1 knock-in cells using a relatively scarless selection strategy, and subsequently differentiated them into iN. We then validated the functionality and correct localization of the HaloTag by microscopy, establishing RIMS1:HaloTag as a reliable presynaptic marker in iN. To demonstrate the generalizability of our approach and the feasibility of a knock-in screen for synaptic molecules, we proceeded to tag other neuronal proteins like FZD3 and DLG4.
Spinor quintom cosmology with intrinsic spin

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

description: We consider a spinor quintom dark energy model with intrinsic spin, in the framework of Eintein- Cartan-Sciama-Kibble theory. After constructing the mathematical formalism of the model, we obtain the spin contributed total energy-momentum tensor giving the energy density and the pressure of the quintom model, and then we find the equation of state parameter in terms of the spinor potential. Choosing suitable potentials leads to the quintom scenario crossing between quintessence and phantom epochs, or vice versa. Analyzed three quintom scenarios provides stable expansion phases avoiding Big Rip singularities, and yielding matter dominated era through the stabilization of the spinor pressure via spin contribution. The stabilization in spinor pressure leads to neglecting it as compared to the increasing energy density, and constituting a matter dominated stable expansion epoch.
When do firms use one set of books in an international tax compliance game?

description: This study examines how a strategic tax auditor affects a multinational firm’s transfer pricing in a tax compliance game. Our model uses a divisionalized firm, in both a low-tax and a high-tax country, that decides to implement a transfer-pricing regime with either one or two sets of books. After observing its unit costs, the firm reports a compliant or noncompliant tax transfer price. In a regime with one set of books, the single transfer price coordinates the quantity decision and determines the tax payments. In a regime with two sets, different transfer prices serve those tasks. In contrast to previous studies, our analysis incorporates a strategic tax auditor, who observes the tax transfer price and decides whether to audit the firm. Real-world regulations suggest larger penalties for detected noncompliance under a two-sets-of-books transfer-pricing regime. Our analysis identifies the mixed strategy equilibria and examines how variations in the tax regulation—the tax rate difference and the penalty difference—affect the firm’s tax aggressiveness. We show that a firm acts less tax aggressively with a higher tax rate difference. Additionally, the model predicts that the firm either increases or decreases the probability of keeping one set of books for a smaller penalty difference.

Inventory management in the large animal veterinary practice

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2019

description: “Inventory is money sitting around in another form.” This is the driving factor for this author’s obsession with inventory management. We, as food animal veterinarians need to stop looking at the products on our shelves or in our trucks as simply a product, and instead as stacks of money. Because that is what they are, an investment with the promise of a profitable return later. So why, then, are food animal practices not managing their inventories as closely as they do their bills, their accounts receivable, or as the cash in a cash drawer? Why do practices accept shrink as just another part of business when in reality it is reducing the practice’s bottom line? In this manuscript the author wants to challenge the reader’s thought process on how they approach inventory and shrink in general.

description: Malaria remains endemic in tropical areas, especially in Africa. For the evaluation of new tools and to further ourunderstanding of host-parasite interactions, knowing the environmental risk of transmission-even at a very local scale-isessential. The aim of this study was to assess how malaria transmission is influenced and can be predicted by local climaticand environmental factors. As the entomological part of a cohort study of 650 newborn babies in nine villages in the ToriBossito district of Southern Benin between June 2007 and February 2010, human landing catches were performed to assessthe density of malaria vectors and transmission intensity. Climatic factors as well as household characteristics were recordedthroughout the study. Statistical correlations between Anopheles density and environmental and climatic factors weretested using a three-level Poisson mixed regression model. The results showed both temporal variations in vector density(related to season and rainfall), and spatial variations at the level of both village and house. These spatial variations could belargely explained by factors associated with the house's immediate surroundings, namely soil type, vegetation index andthe proximity of a watercourse. Based on these results, a predictive regression model was developed using a leave-one-outmethod, to predict the spatiotemporal variability of malaria transmission in the nine villages. This study points up theimportance of local environmental factors in malaria transmission and describes a model to predict the transmission risk ofindividual children, based on environmental and behavioral characteristics.

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2019

description: Veterinarians, like all health professionals, are subject to multiple demands and stressors that at times in their careers can compromise satisfaction, engagement, and wellbeing. These stressors include high debt load, long hours, heavy workloads, client demands, navigating social media, and isolation. Our health as professionals can be conceptualized on a continuum, with optimal wellbeing at 1 end and burnout on the other. Veterinarians and the organizations they work within may move at times toward the wellbeing end of continuum, while others may move more towards burnout. A major component of maintaining personal wellbeing is resilience. Veterinarians that have strategies for overcoming adverse situations are more apt to avoid burnout. Individuals and organizations can play a role in fostering and promoting wellbeing through 9 dimensions: career, creative, emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual.

description: The central star of the planetary nebula NGC 1514 is among the visually brightest central stars in the sky (V=9.5). It has long been known to show a composite spectrum, consisting of an A-type star and a much hotter star responsible for the ionization of the surrounding nebula. These two stars have always been assumed to form a binary system. High-resolution spectrograms obtained with Espadons at the CFHT on Mauna Kea have allowed to measure good radial velocities for both stars. They differ by 13 $\pm$ 2 km s$^{-1}$. The stellar velocities have not changed after 500 days. We have also estimated the metallicity of the cooler star. Combining these data with other information available in the literature, we conclude that, unless all the published nebular radial velocities are systematically wrong, the cooler star is just a chance alignment, and the two stars are not orbiting each other. The cooler star cannot have played any role in the formation of NGC 1514.

description: The Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act of 1994 (AMDUCA) amended the Food Drug & Cosmetic Act to permit extralabel use of animal drugs under certain conditions. However, AMDUCA does not permit the extralabel use of medicated feed articles. Minor species such as sheep and goats (small ruminants) have very few animal drugs approved for their use and practitioners may determine that extralabel use is justified to prevent suffering and death. Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 615.115 Extralabel Use of Medicated Feeds for Minor Species (CPG 615.115) provides guidance on the current thinking of the Food and Drug Administration related to exercising enforcement discretion with regard to the extralabel use of medicated feeds in minor species. This presentation will walk through the CPG 615.115 from a practitioner’s perspective with goal of addressing common questions and situations where extralabel use of medicated feeds in sheep and goats may be indicated.

description: Limited scientific literature is available for developing ‘best-practice’ guidelines for the disbudding of goat kids. Disbudding practices for dairy goat kids and calves appear to be similar; however, when considering goat welfare, it is important to recognize that goat kids are not small calves. Disbudding causes pain, impacting on the welfare of both species. The objectives of this review are to evaluate scientific literature on disbudding of goat kids and calves, and compare cautery disbudding methodologies, behavioral and physiological responses to disbudding, and pain mitigation strategies across the 2 species. There are significant differences in methodologies including age, iron power source, temperature and iron application timing, and higher risks of brain injury in kids compared with calves. In addition, goat kids appear to have a shorter duration of behavioral and physiological responses, and there are differences in efficacy of pain mitigation strategies across the 2 species; future research is needed to optimize pain mitigation for goat kids. Establishing best-practice guidelines for disbudding goat kids requires managers to recognize that they are not small calves.

description: Veterinarians and producers often underestimate the amount of useful information that can be gained thorough necropsy of small ruminants that die or are euthanized following puzzling clinical signs. Necropsy is a valuable tool for identifying underlying health problems in the herd as well as discovering the cause of an acute or unexpected death. Thorough examination of the body as soon as possible after death allows for collection of multiple samples for diagnostic purposes, while information gathered about body condition, nutritional status, and subclinical diseases may alter management and treatment choices for cohorts on the same premise.

description: We propose a novel method to enhance the transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect (TMOKE) in the magneto-plasmonic (MP) nanostructures by means of the active dielectric layer. We report the theoretical analysis of the magnetoplasmonic structure with a ferromagnetic dielectric doped with rear-earth ions (Nd3+) as the example of a gain layer. The enhancement takes place near the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) resonances of the nanostructures. The stimulated emission of the dopants in the field of SPP wave partially compensates its losses. It is shown that due to a decrease of SPP damping a Q-factor of the MP resonance increases and the TMOKE is increased in comparison with the passive nanostructure.

The objective of this review is to evaluate scientific literature on cautery disbudding of goat kids and discuss variation in practice including training, kid-related factors (e.g., age, sex), iron-related factors (e.g., temperature, application time), and pain mitigation in order to provide best-practice recommendations for cautery disbudding dairy goat kids. Goat kid-specific training is required to improve consistency across operators and reduce any harmful effects associated with cautery disbudding. The best age to disbud doe kids is approximately a week of age, but buck kids may be disbudded earlier (3 to 5 days). Cautery irons can range in temperature depending on power-source, age and brand, all of which should be taken into consideration when deciding on application time. Not more than 15 sec should be used, and ideal application time of the iron may be between 5 and 7 sec to cauterize and remove the horn bud. Removing the horn bud improves efficacy in preventing scurs. Isoflurane or dexmedetomidine and meloxicam can reduce pain associated with cautery disbudding, whereas lidocaine may not. Goat kid-focused best-practice recommendations for cautery disbudding can improve goat welfare.

description: Goats, sheep, and camelids present unique challenges when selecting a safe, aesthetic, and environmentally responsible method of field euthanasia. Although barbiturate euthanasia products are frequently used in companion settings, access to these drugs is restricted and carcass residues limit viable disposal options. Gunshot, penetrating captive bolt, and adjunctive techniques commonly used in cattle are appropriate for use in small ruminants with modifications to reduce the risk of over-penetration and improve anatomic accuracy. While farm personnel can be trained to safely and effectively use gunshot techniques in adult sheep and goats, safe options for euthanasia of neonatal goats and lambs is severely limited by their small size. Manual blunt force trauma is an unacceptable method in these species; however, non-penetrating captive bolts devices are acceptable for stunning or euthanasia of perinatal kids and lambs. Additionally, carbon dioxide inhalation is an effective and humane technique for goat kids < 3 weeks of age. Intrathecal lidocaine injection is an acceptable method in anesthetized horses and early clinical experience suggests it may be reasonably applied by veterinarians in the field for all ages of small ruminants.

description: The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of a number of useful indicators to assess on-farm welfare of sheep and goats in commercial systems. Assessing the welfare of production animals is vital to ensure that optimal conditions are provided by animal managers. Welfare is a multifactorial concept that is difficult to describe as there are multiple definitions and interpretations. However, welfare is generally concerned with an animal’s quality of life and includes natural living, affective state, and biological functioning. Animal welfare assessment protocols for sheep and goats use a variety of animal-, management- and resource-based indicators of welfare. Management- and resource-based indicators are useful for on-farm welfare assessments, as they can be reliably and quickly measured; however, animal-based indicators may give a more accurate indication of specific welfare conditions, as they directly focus on the animal. Useful indicators should be valid, reliable, and feasible, and some examples include body condition scoring, hair/fleece condition, skin lesions, claw overgrowth, lameness, and the human-animal relationship. Identification of areas of welfare compromise is the first step in order to improve the welfare of sheep and goats on-farm.

description: We analyze in detail the background cosmological evolution of a scalar field coupled to a massless abelian gauge field through an axial term $\fracϕ{f_γ} F \tilde{F}$, such as in the case of an axion. Gauge fields in this case are known to experience tachyonic growth and therefore can backreact on the background as an effective dissipation into radiation energy density $ρ_R$, which which can lead to inflation without the need of a flat potential. We analyze the system, for momenta $k$ smaller than the cutoff $f_γ$, including numerically the backreaction. We consider the evolution from a given static initial condition and explicitly show that, if $f_γ$ is smaller than the field excursion $ϕ_0$ by about a factor of at least ${\cal O} (20)$, there is a friction effect which turns on before that the field can fall down and which can then lead to a very long stage of inflation with a generic potential. In addition we find superimposed oscillations, which would get imprinted on any kind of perturbations, scalars and tensors. Such oscillations have a period of 4-5 efolds and an amplitude which is typically less than a few percent and decreases linearly with $f_γ$. We also stress that the comoving curvature perturbation on uniform density should be sensitive to slow-roll parameters related to $ρ_R$ rather than $\dotϕ^2/2$, although we postpone a calculation of the power spectrum and of non-gaussianity to future work and we simply define and compute suitable slow roll parameters. Finally we stress that this scenario may be realized in the axion case, if the coupling $1/f_γ$ to U(1) (photons) is much larger than the coupling $1/f_G$ to non-abelian gauge fields (gluons), since the latter sets the range of the potential and therefore the maximal allowed $ϕ_0\sim f_G$.

Climate smart dairy and beef

description: Production efficiency in the dairy and beef industry can be defined as minimizing the amount of inputs (e.g., feed, fossil fuels) and outputs (e.g., ammonia, NH3; greenhouse gases, GHG) to produce a given quantity of milk or meat. The present paper will focus on the dairy example. Production efficiency improvements can come from minimizing waste, maximizing a dairy cow’s milk production, and maximizing the proportion of her life spent in peak milk production without sacrificing animal health and well-being.

description: Dairy farmers are realizing they can generate profit from more than just milk. One of the most underdeveloped potential profit centers is the production of specialized dairy-crossed steer calves and excess heifers that can be profitably fed and marketed. These proceedings will discuss the opportunity and the feed and management approach to help producers understand and raise profitable dairy-beef cattle.

description: Offering nutrition and ration balancing services can be an excellent way to increase revenue at a veterinary practice, as well be a solution for the changing role of the consulting veterinarian. Today’s dairy producers demand a consultant-based veterinary service which contrasts greatly with the veterinary service of the past. Offering nutrition services is also a great way for young veterinarians to become good at troubleshooting feed-related disease processes on dairy farms.

description: We cannot fully assess the normative and epistemic implications of online discourse, especially political discourse, without recognizing how it is being systematically leveraged to undermine the credibility and autonomy of those with marginalized identities. In the following chapters, I supplement social/feminist epistemological methodologies with norm theory to argue that online discourse entrenches the mechanisms of political dominance and cultural hegemony by ignoring and devaluing the experiences and struggles of marginalized individuals. Each chapter investigates a different, concrete manifestation of this dynamic. In Chapter 1, I argue that digital capitalist enterprises like Facebook facilitate the targeting of minoritized users with disproportionate instances of abuse, misinformation, and silencing. This is exemplified by the practice of using racial microtargeting to engage in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) voter suppression. I contend in Chapter 2 that, given the exploitative nature of racially-microtargeted political advertising campaigns, these social media companies are ultimately morally responsible for initiating and sustaining a burgeoning digital voter suppression industry. In Chapter 3, I argue that the presence of online disinformation, in tandem with key party figures’ explicit endorsement of vicious group epistemic norms like close-mindedness and dogmatism, have directly contributed to the formation and epistemic isolation of conservative political factions in the US. Finally, I argue in Chapter 4 that social media and hostile media bias rhetoric directly reinforce sexist and racist credibility norms, effectively creating a toxic environment of misogynistic online discourse that hurts the perceived credibility of women journalists.

description: This deliverable contains a best practice guideline for biobanking of human biospecimens in the field of neurodegenerative diseases. The starting point for this was a survey of EPND partner cohorts to assess current biobanking practices. Based on the survey results, the necessary topic areas for this best practice guideline were identified. Topics in which the surveyed EPND partner cohorts still showed potential for improvement are dealt with in more detail.
