description: Models for the evolution of the solar coronal magnetic field are vital for understanding solar activity, yet the best measurements of magnetic field lie at the photosphere, necessitating the development of coronal models which are \textit{"data-driven"} at the photosphere. We present an investigation to determine the feasibility and accuracy of such methods. Our validation framework uses a simulation of active region (AR) formation, modeling the emergence of magnetic flux from the convection zone to the corona, as a ground-truth dataset, to supply both the photospheric information, and to perform the validation of the data-driven method. We focus our investigation on how the data-driven model accuracy depends on the temporal frequency of the driving data. The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on NASA's Solar {\jl Dynamics} Observatory produces full-disk vector magnetic field measurements at a 12 minute cadence. Using our framework we show that ARs that emerge over 25 hours can be modeled by the data-driving method with only $\sim$1\% error in the free magnetic energy, assuming the photospheric information is specified every 12 minutes. However, for rapidly evolving features, under-sampling of the dynamics at this cadence leads to a strobe effect, generating large electric currents and incorrect coronal morphology and energies. We derive a sampling condition for the driving cadence based on the evolution of these small-scale features, and show that higher-cadence driving can lead to acceptable errors. Future work will investigate the source of errors associated with deriving plasma variables from the photospheric magnetograms as well as other sources of errors such as reduced resolution and instrument bias and noise.

description: Papillomatous digital dermatitis (PDD) is a contagious and painful foot lesion causing lameness in cattle. One of the common treatments for PDD is oxytetracycline powder held onto the hoof with a bandage wrap. The objective of this study was to determine if application of oxytetracycline in a topical paste without bandaging would be as effective as the wrap for the treatment of PDD.

description: Legumes establish symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia through root nodules to acquire nitrogen. Legumes control nodule number through systemic (autoregulation of nodulation) as well as local regulation. Moreover, plants defend themselves against bacteria and other pathogens through the induction of localized (localized acquired resistance) and systemic (SAR, systemic acquired resistance; ISR, induced systemic resistance) responses. Herein, we show that the number of root nodules is suppressed by programmed cell death (PCD), and is simultaneously controlled by SAR and ISR in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.). The wild-type soybean cultivar Williams 82 showed markedly fewer root nodule primordia and PCD symptoms, including accelerated DNA degradation, enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species (visualized by 3,3′-diaminobenzidine staining), and excessive cell death (detected on staining with trypan blue) compared to the hypernodulation mutant NOD1-3. These results suggest that PCD suppresses the formation of root nodules in wild-type soybean. In addition, microarray and gene ontology analyses showed that essential components of hypersensitive response (HR) or disease resistance, such as resistance (R) genes, mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade, SAR, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, ethylene, etc., were activated in wild-type plants. These analyses corroborate the above findings, demonstrating that the suppression of root nodule formation by PCD is accompanied by HR, and is simultaneously controlled by SAR and ISR in soybean. These findings provide new insight into the control of nodulation to balance nutritional requirements and energy status in legumes.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Monitoring of coastal fish populations regarding population size, species composition etc is carried out using fixed sampling sites, by the Swedish National Board of Fisheries. Several factors, beside the actual population size and composition, will certainly influence the sampled catch e.g. temperature. In addition to factors that have similar influence to the whole sampling region one may presume that topographical factors, bottom vegetation, currents etc specific to the various sampling sites within the sampling area, would influence routes and residence of the studied populations. If so, this should be considered when choosing an appropriate sampling strategy. Two different approaches were applied to investigate if such factors were possible to discern with some statistical confidence. Ten areas along the Swedish coast in the Baltic Sea sampled during two years were studied. The possible spatial correlation between catch per unit effort and distance between sites was modelled by calculating sample variograms. The mean differences in catch of various species between sites closer than 1 km and sites separated by a distance ranging between 1-5 km, were compared using a randomisation test. Furthermore, the differences between the same sites sampled during two consecutive years were compared with differences achieved between two randomly chosen sites. In about half of the sampled areas, sites closer than 1 km were significantly more similar with respect to perch and roach catch compared to sites further apart. A comparison between-year of samples from the same site versus randomly paired sites, showed no significant differences in perch or roach catch. In 60% of the sampling areas, the proportion perch/total catch were significantly more similar at the same sites compared to the randomly paired sites.

description: This study explores the lived experiences of college students located in rural areas having online classes. This qualitative phenomenological research involves in-depth interviews with 6 participants residing in Mabini and New Bataan, Davao de Oro. The researchers examine their experiences in transitioning to a new normal setting. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and thematically analyzed. The study explores their feelings or experiences, challenges/problems during the class, and coping mechanisms. Collective narratives caused the uprising of themes in each research problem. Two themes emerged as central to their feelings experienced during classes as college students: Positive impact further specified as flexibility, organization, and wide resources, while the negative impact further specified are frustrating, strenuous, and uninspiring. On the other hand, two themes also emerged in the problems encountered by students, which are poor internet connectivity and an uncontrollable environment. The last themes emerged based on the coping mechanisms of the students, namely, Time and Role Management, Prioritization, and Consultation. This research provides insight into the experiences of these somewhat unknown struggles experienced during an online class. The findings from this study may also provide context and insights for postsecondary institutions, faculty, student services personnel, and family of students, as well as the students themselves.

description: Clinical metritis in the lactating dairy cow leads to decreased reproductive efficiency, decreased milk production, and predisposes the cow to other metabolic diseases. Postparturient uterine douching was historically used in humans as a prophylaxis and treatment for postpartum uterine disease. Some producers and veterinarians have advocated the use of postpartum uterine douching in dairy cows to help prevent metritis and improve uterine health, although there is little scientific evidence for its efficacy. Metritis represents a serious concern for modern dairy cattle, with a median lactational incidence of approximately 10%, and many herds have an incidence of 20-30%. The average cost of a case ofmetritis was estimated by Overton using stochastic simulation to be approximately $350. This represents tremendous potential in lost income to the dairy due to a greater risk of culling, loss of milk production, decreased reproductive efficiency, and increased treatment costs. The objective of this study was to determine whether cows that undergo a uterine douche shortly after calving are at decreased risk for clinical metritis.

description: This presentation is designed to be taught alongside Chapter 5: This chapter discusses the properties of a range of materials commonly used in the teaching of Design and Technology in secondary schools. These include woods, polymers, metals, composites and smart materials. Each material is considered in terms of source, possible uses and their positive and negative impacts. This chapter examines the tools and processes associated with using different materials to produce final outcomes. This chapter also considers the detail and depth of knowledge required at secondary school level and makes a number of suggestions about how to approach the teaching of Materials Technology. There is also a brief discussion on the assessment of Material Technology at secondary school level. Finally, there are suggested resources that would be very useful to a student teacher to help them become more familiar with the range of materials available to designers and manufactures.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The need of an accurate method for a fast identification of mussel larvae in plankton samples led us to develop an immunological approach. Thus, we generated two monoclonal antibodies directed against the D-shaped Mytilus galloprovincialis larvae from Galician waters (NW of Spain), which do not bind to larvae of any other bivalve species obtained from cultures or from plankton samples. Both mAbs recognise mussels not only in their first stages, but also in different stages of larval development and even post-larvae. Cultured larvae obtained from adults from a genetically divergent M. galloprovincialis population from the Mediterranean Sea and from a Mytilus edulis population from the Dutch coast were also recognised by both antibodies. Now, we want to know if our mAbs could also be applied on field plankton samples from these regions. Immunofluorescence tests on plankton samples from the Mediterranean Sea indicate that both mAbs are able to specifically discriminate mussel larvae from larvae of other bivalves present in the plankton. Samples from Yerseke (The Netherlands) are now under study.

description: In this paper, energy efficient power allocation for the uplink of a multi-cell massive MIMO system is investigated. With the simplified power consumption model, the problem of power allocation is formulated as a constrained Markov decision process (CMDP) framework with infinite-horizon expected discounted total reward, which takes into account different quality of service (QoS) requirements for each user terminal (UT). We propose an offline solution containing the value iteration and Q-learning algorithms, which can obtain the global optimum power allocation policy. Simulation results show that our proposed policy performs very close to the ergodic optimal policy.

description: Rice is the single most important crop for food security in Asia. Knowledge about the distribution of rice fields is also relevant in the context of greenhouse-relevant methane emissions, disease transmission, and water resource management. Copernicus Sentinel-1 provides the first openly available archive of C-band SAR (synthetic aperture radar) data at high spatial and temporal resolution. We developed one of the first methods that shows the potential of this data for accurate and timely mapping of rice-growing areas. We used superpixel segmentation to create spatially averaged backscatter time series, which is robust to speckle and reduces the amount of data to process. This method has been applied to six study sites in different rice-growing regions of the world and achieved an average overall accuracy of 0.83.

description: During this Covid-19 pandemic, actual face-to-face instruction is highly discouraged. Kabasalan National High School utilizes self-learning modules the guided, integrated, yearning activities (GIYA) to deliver quality instruction to the students even in this time of the pandemic. The study aimed to determine the impact of guided, integrated, yearning activities (GIYA) on students’ academic achievement of Grade 11 bread and pastry production. The GIYA module would serve as an innovation and would be facilitated during the giving and retrieval of GIYA modules. The study used a quantitative research design, specifically an experimental research design. The participants of the study were the Senior High School Bread and Pastry Production (BPP) students of Kabasalan National High School, Philippines. Participants were chosen using simple random sampling, there were 20 students served as participants in this study. The study was conducted for the School Year 2020-2021 in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. The result of the level of academic achievement of the students for the pre-test is lower than the level of the academic achievement for the post-test and there was a statistically significant difference of their increase with p-value .000 less than .05. The findings of the study showed that there was a significant difference between the academic achievement of Grade 11 BPP students in the pre-test and post-test.

description: Neonatal dairy calf maintenance energy requirements are 1.75 Meal per day at thermoneutral temperatures. Conventional milk replacer feeding programs (e.g. 2 quarts of reconstituted solids twice per day) provide approximately 2.2 Meal per day. Considering the abundance of environmental and pathogenic challenges faced by neonatal calves, these conventional programs provide little energy for maintaining body temperature, mounting immune responses, and growing at expected rates of 1 to 2 pounds per day and weight loss often occurs for the initial week of life. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of conventional nutritional plane versus a higher nutritional plane on the health status, muscle development, and initial weight loss in neonatal dairy calves.

description: While there is general agreement that economic voting matters, there is less agreement on how to measure it. This paper examines the most recent conceptualization of economic voting: the ownership of economic assets or “patrimonial” voting. Using the 2016 Australian Election Study survey, we show that property ownership and, especially, share ownership were significant influences on party choice. By contrast, ownership of an investment property or a personal superannuation fund had no significant effect on the vote. We explain this finding through the specific policies that the parties advanced in the 2016 campaign. While Labor parted ways from the Coalition by proposing radical changes to the tax treatment of investment properties but with no retrospectivity, the parties had similar positions on the tax treatment of superannuation. The findings emphasize how party policies can shape the electoral significance of asset ownership.

description: Staphylococci are a diverse group of gram-positive cocci that can infect the cow's mammary gland. For the purposes of diagnosing intramammary infection (IMI), staphylococci are classified based on their ability to clot plasma (coagulase test) as either coagulase-positive or coagulase-negative. The most commonly isolated coagulase-positive staphylococci, S. aureus, is considered a major mastitis pathogen. In contrast, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) have historically been classified as minor mastitis pathogens and are rarely, if ever, further differentiated when diagnosing an IMI. The assumption has been that, as a group, CNS cause minor elevations in milk somatic cell count (SCC). However, there has been recent interest in the role of CNS in mammary gland inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between CNS species and mammary quarter SCC.

description: Despite improvements in management, prevention, and treatment, mastitis accounts for 26% of morbidity on US dairies, making it the most prevalent and costly disease of dairy cattle. In total, it is estimated that 70-80% of this loss is due to subclinical intramammary infections (IMI) such as Staphylococcus aureus (SA). The most prevalent contagious mastitis pathogen in the United States, SA was detected in 43% of bulk tanks examined. The control of SA is contingent on accurate diagnosis of IMI, yet there remains no definitive standard for the diagnosis of a SA IMI. Studies following cows experimentally infected with the Newbould SA strain concluded that SA was shed in a cyclical pattern and that consecutive samples were necessary to accurately diagnosis a SA IMI. Since then, new technologies, such as pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) used to compare strain relatedness, have brought into question the usefulness of research based on experimental SA infections. The goal of this study was to evaluate bacterial shedding patterns of SA, specifically the influence of clonal relatedness of SA on the shedding patterns of bacteria in naturally occurring SA infections.

description: We present the first structural report of lanthanides complexed with free amidoxime ligands as part of our ongoing research effort to understand the interactions of amidoximes with metal ions in seawater. Three isomorphous lanthanide complexes with acetamidoxime (AcAO) having the formula Ln2(NO3)6(AcAO)3(OH2)3·3H2O (Ln = Pr3+, Nd3+, Gd3+) have been crystallized and structurally characterised. Notably, the AcAO ligands coordinate in a bridging mode as zwitterions, which creates pre-organised hydrogen bonding cavities into which water molecules are incorporated. Charge-assisted hydrogen bonds to these water molecules appear to stabilize the zwitterionic form and thus the overall complex, underscoring the importance of supramolecular phenomena and overall complex geometry on the relative stability of amidoxime complexes. This has implications for controlling their selectivity towards metal ions.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Populations of gadoids in the Irish Sea and Celtic Sea have exhibited marked changes in abundance in recent decades. Haddock populations in both areas, and whiting in the Celtic Sea, expanded substantially in the 1990s, whilst cod and whiting in the Irish Sea declined substantially. Patterns of growth and maturity, estimated from broad spatial scale sampling during groundfish surveys, also show trends over time. This paper examines variability in growth and maturation in each species in the two regions in the last two decades. There was no strong evidence for density dependence of growth or maturity in cod, whereas haddock in the Irish Sea exhibited reduced length at age and condition following growth of the stock. A substantial reduction in size at age in whiting has occurred since the 1980s despite a decline in abundance, although growth has been very stable since the 1990s. All three species show an increase in proportion mature during the 1990s, particularly in the age at first maturity. Increasing sea temperatures in the Irish Sea since the 1990s may have been a factor in some of the changes observed in the stocks.

description: The study investigates the relationship between teachers’ performance and their self-efficacy, assessment of working conditions, and assessment of school-based management practices. The participants of the study are 1,053 public secondary teachers from the Division of Iligan City, Division of Lanao del Norte, and Division of Misamis Oriental, Region 10. The data are gathered through the use of a survey questionnaire. Results reveal that most of the teachers had a very satisfactory performance. They have moderate self-efficacy and have favorable working conditions and are mostly involved in the different School-Based Management (SBM) dimensions. Moreover, teachers’ performance exhibits a significant bearing on time, facilities and resources, community support and involvement, managing student conduct, teacher leadership, professional development, instructional practice and support, school leadership, internal stakeholders, external stakeholders, resource management, and school performance accountability. However, of all variables, only the time best predicts the performance of the teachers. Finally, the performance of teachers is best anchored on the working conditions and the school-based management practices.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Since their first introduction in 1964, Japanese oysters (Crassostrea gigas) are spreading rapidly throughout Dutch estuaries. They may affect Dutch ecosystems profoundly. One way in which they might affect indigenous filter-feeding bivalves is by filtering their pelagic larvae, thereby hampering their recruitment. We studied the ability of adult oysters to filter bivalve veliger larvae of different species. Inhalant feeding current velocities of Japanese oysters and blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) were assessed using Digital Particle Image Velocimetry. These velocities were compared with average swimming speeds of bivalve veligers from literature. Inhalant feeding current velocities of both oysters and mussels were higher than swimming speeds of bivalve veligers, indicating that both species might be able to filter large amounts of veliger larvae. However, fluid deformation rate profiles revealed inhalant oyster feeding currents to be more diffuse than inhalant mussel feeding currents. This may cause veligers to be less able to detect feeding currents of oysters in time, increasing the chances of being filtered. Additionally, in the Oosterschelde estuary larval numbers in the water column above an oyster bed were compared with larval numbers above a reference site. Significantly less mussel larvae were found above the oyster bed than on the reference site. This supports the theory that adult oysters filter veliger larvae. Larval numbers of oysters however showed completely the opposite. More oyster larvae were present above the oyster bed than above the reference site.

description: Although previous research has argued that the media play a crucial role in populism’s success, we know too little about how populist messages affect preferences for populist parties. To advance this knowledge, we conducted an experiment in which the core of populist rhetoric – constructing the people as innocent in-group opposed to the establishment as culprit out-group – was manipulated in news articles. The findings indicate that when political elites are blamed for a salient national problem, people are more likely to vote for a populist party and less likely to vote for the largest party in government. Populist vote intentions are indirectly affected via blame perceptions. These findings offer important insights into the media’s role in the electoral success of populism.

description: Bruising in cattle is an indicator of poor welfare, as well as a significant cause of economic loss due to decreased carcass value. Vehicle design, transport conditions, and loading/unloading procedures are considered potential sources of carcass bruising; however, none of these have been explored extensively. The objective of the current study was to determine whether a relationship exists between trauma incurred during unloading and prevalence of carcass bruising in finished beef cattle at commercial slaughter facilities.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In addition to permanent species populations of seamounts, there are dense aggregations of oceanic and semioceanic sharks over some of them: Prionace glauca, Isurus oxyrinchus, Alopias superciliosus, Sphyrna zygaena. Sharks are up to 20 times more abundant there than in oceanic waters. Such aggregations exist in East Atlantic, over Meteor, Yer, Erving and Atlantis in Northern Hemisphere, and over Whale Ridge to the South. In Eastern Pacific such aggregations were observed over Nazka Ridge, and westward and eastward of Galapagos Islands, not related to any pronounced mounts. Blue shark Prionace glauca absolutely dominates these aggregations. Aggregations mainly consist of Blue shark adult males of 170-280 cm; in East Atlantic these are associated with young sharks of 50-140 cm in Moroccan and Namibian neritic waters. So, one may see the pairs (adult male aggregations)-(“kindergartens') corresponded to northern and southern groups of populations. Most probable such “male clubs' are intended for first copulation with young females, leaving neritic “kindergartens' for oceanic waters. Similar picture may be seen in East Pacific: there are Blue shark “kindergartens' in Santa Barbara and Ensenada waters; such places may be supposed in South America neritic waters. No doubts, the dense male aggregations are extremely vulnerable to overfishing and certain protection measures to be undertaken immediately. It is still unknown, are such aggregations all-the-year-round or seasonal, but it is clear that aggregations of top predators significantly influence oceanic ecosystems, including seamounts, and interactions between large pelagic sharks aggregations and populations of fish and invertebrates inhabiting seamounts are still unknown. Thus, from one side sharks aggregations themselves need protection, and from other side their influence to be taken into account when planning exploitation of species inhabiting submarine mounts.

description: ROOT provides an flexible format used throughout the HEP community. The number of use cases - from an archival data format to end-stage analysis - has required a number of tradeoffs to be exposed to the user. For example, a high "compression level" in the traditional DEFLATE algorithm will result in a smaller file (saving disk space) at the cost of slower decompression (costing CPU time when read). At the scale of the LHC experiment, poor design choices can result in terabytes of wasted space or wasted CPU time. We explore and attempt to quantify some of these tradeoffs. Specifically, we explore: the use of alternate compressing algorithms to optimize for read performance; an alternate method of compressing individual events to allow efficient random access; and a new approach to whole-file compression. Quantitative results are given, as well as guidance on how to make compression decisions for different use cases.

description: A {\it universal labeling} of a graph $G$ is a labeling of the edge set in $G$ such that in every orientation $\ell$ of $G$ for every two adjacent vertices $v$ and $u$, the sum of incoming edges of $v$ and $u$ in the oriented graph are different from each other. The {\it universal labeling number} of a graph $G$ is the minimum number $k$ such that $G$ has {\it universal labeling} from $\{1,2,\ldots, k\}$ denoted it by $\overrightarrow{χ_{u}}(G) $. We have $2Δ(G)-2 \leq \overrightarrow{χ_{u}} (G)\leq 2^{Δ(G)}$, where $Δ(G)$ denotes the maximum degree of $G$. In this work, we offer a provocative question that is:" Is there any polynomial function $f$ such that for every graph $G$, $\overrightarrow{χ_{u}} (G)\leq f(Δ(G))$?". Towards this question, we introduce some lower and upper bounds on their parameter of interest. Also, we prove that for every tree $T$, $\overrightarrow{χ_{u}}(T)=\mathcal{O}(Δ^3) $. Next, we show that for a given 3-regular graph $G$, the universal labeling number of $G$ is 4 if and only if $G$ belongs to Class 1. Therefore, for a given 3-regular graph $G$, it is an $ \mathbf{NP} $-complete to determine whether the universal labeling number of $G$ is 4. Finally, using probabilistic methods, we almost confirm a weaker version of the problem.

description: Heteroleptic ruthenium(II) bioflavonoid complexes of quercetin, morin, chrysin, and 3-hydroxyflavone were prepared and their interaction with CT DNA and BSA along with antioxidant and in vitro anticancer and antimicrobial activities was investigated. The formulation and characterization of complexes were achieved through elemental and thermal analysis, mass spectrometry, 1H NMR spectroscopy along with infrared, electronic absorption, and emission spectroscopy as well as square-wave voltammetry, and magnetic and conductivity measurements. Ruthenium(II) is octahedrally coordinated in cationic complex species to two bidentate diimine ligands (2,2′-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline) and one bidentate monobasic flavonoid ligand through 3,4-site of quercetin, morin, and 3-hydroxyflavone or 4,5-site of chrysin. Complexes bind CT DNA by intercalation and binding constants comparable to ethidium bromide or 10 times higher. Binding constants of complexes to BSA were several times higher compared to ibuprofen and diazepam, and suggest that the complexes have a strong affinity to BSA. Antioxidant activity tests showed that the complexes are more potent in terms of radical inhibition compared to the parent flavonoids. Cytotoxic testing revealed that the Ru(II) complex of quercetin with 2,2′-bipyridine co-ligand has good selectivity to breast adenocarcinoma, while the complex of 3-hydroxyflavone with 2,2′-bipyridine co-ligand showed strong cytotoxicity toward all tested cell lines with IC50 ∼ 1 μM. All complexes showed moderate activity toward Acinetobacter baumannii, while the Ru(II) complex of 3-hydroxyflavone with 2,2′-bipyridine showed excellent activity toward MRSA and Candida albicans.

description: Prion diseases are fatal, infectious diseases of cattle (bovine spongiform encephalopathy, BSE), sheep (scrapie), deer and elk ( chronic wasting disease, CWD) and humans (Creutzfeldt Jakob disease). Disease is caused by the misfolding of a normal protein, PrP, into a pathogenic form called a prion. Prions then coerce normal PrP to misfold, resulting in propagation of the pathogenic form in the brain and elsewhere, where it is toxic to neurons. Over 200 people were infected with BSE and 4 million cattle were culled during an outbreak in the United Kingdom in the 1980s. The fallout led to constraints on the use of animal by-products, organ donation and cattle culling, which have effectively ended the BSE outbreak. Nevertheless, an atypical form of BSE has been identified in older cattle in several countries, including the USA. These cases are disruptive to the beef supply chain and raise concerns for another outbreak. CWD is spreading through deer and elk in the United States and, increasingly, abroad. CWD infection of humans has not been documented, but we do not know the risk of CWD transmission to humans, how BSE and CWD may be different in their host ranges, or what defines this difference. Using an in vitro model of prion conversion, we have demonstrated that CWD prions adapt more readily to a new host than do BSE prions, which remain largely unchanged. These observations prompted us to investigate the role of specific regions of the PrP molecule in defining species barriers.

description: Lameness on dairies is a worldwide problem that negatively impacts animal welfare, herd production level, and social perception of livestock farming. Prompt treatment of moderate lameness cases is expected to result in better clinical cure and reduction of lameness prevalence; however, very limited research has evaluated this. The objective of this study was to study the impact of moderate lameness treatment on disease progression and milk yield.
