description: Internet of Things (IoT) has accelerated the deployment of millions of sensors at the edge of the network, through Smart City infrastructure and lifestyle devices. Cloud computing platforms are often tasked with handling these large volumes and fast streams of data from the edge. Recently, Fog computing has emerged as a concept for low-latency and resource-rich processing of these observation streams, to complement Edge and Cloud computing. In this paper, we review various dimensions of system architecture, application characteristics and platform abstractions that are manifest in this Edge, Fog and Cloud eco-system. We highlight novel capabilities of the Edge and Fog layers, such as physical and application mobility, privacy sensitivity, and a nascent runtime environment. IoT application case studies based on first-hand experiences across diverse domains drive this categorization. We also highlight the gap between the potential and the reality of Fog computing, and identify challenges that need to be overcome for the solution to be sustainable. Together, our article can help platform and application developers bridge the gap that remains in making Fog computing viable.

description: During the digitization of workplaces, companies are increasingly using smart wearables as well as collaborate robots. This technological progress contributes to higher productivity and efficiency in manufacturing processes, as they assist employees in carrying out their work. This changes the way employees interact and collaborate with the working environment as well as robots. When companies utilize smart wearables and collaborative robots in their processes, employees are exposed to various privacy issues, which may lead to privacy concerns and may reduce the acceptance of such devices and robots. Thus, the presented PhD research project aims to understand the employees' privacy concerns which prevent the acceptance of such devices and how to counteract them.

description: Taurids are an extensive stream of particles produced by comet 2P/Encke, which can be observed mainly in October and November as a series of meteor showers rich in bright fireballs. Several near-Earth asteroids have also been linked with the meteoroid complex, and recently the orbits of two carbonaceous meteorites were proposed to be related to the stream, raising interesting questions about the origin of the complex and the composition of 2P/Encke. Our aim is to investigate the nature and diversity of Taurid meteoroids by studying their spectral, orbital, and physical properties determined from video meteor observations. Here we analyze 33 Taurid meteor spectra captured during the predicted outburst in November 2015 by stations in Slovakia and Chile, including 14 multi-station observations for which the orbital elements, material strength parameters, dynamic pressures, and mineralogical densities were determined. It was found that while orbits of the 2015 Taurids show similarities with several associated asteroids, the obtained spectral and physical characteristics point towards cometary origin with highly heterogeneous content. Observed spectra exhibited large dispersion of iron content and significant Na intensity in all cases. The determined material strengths are typically cometary in the $K_B$ classification, while $P_E$ criterion is on average close to values characteristic for carbonaceous bodies. The studied meteoroids were found to break up under low dynamic pressures of 0.02 - 0.10 MPa, and were characterized by low mineralogical densities of 1.3 - 2.5 g cm$^{-3}$. The widest spectral classification of Taurid meteors to date is presented.

In this paper, the hyperbolic function solitary wave solutions, the trigonometric function periodic wave solutions and the rational wave solutions with more arbitrary parameters of 2-dimensional Ablowitz-Ladik equation are derived by using the GG-expansion method, and the effect of the parameters (including the coupling constant and other parameters) on the linear stability of the exact solutions is analysed and numerically simulated.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.From the mid-1970s to the late 1980s the active fishery researches aimed at revealing the fishery potential of ichthyofauna associated with the North-Atlantic ridge and adjacent areas were carried out by AtlantNIRO and Zaprybpromrazvedka. These researches included species composition and zoogeographic structure of ichthyofauna associated with the North-Atlantic ridge and other underwater mountains. In the work the data on ichthyofauna species composition of the northern part of the North-Atlantic ridge (43-57ºN, 28-34ºW), Corner Mountains (34-35ºN, 48-52ºW, underwater mountains (guyots) southwards of Azores (28-32ºN 30-34ºW) and Rockall underwater mountains are presented based on considerable sampling material (about 200 species). Peaks of high mountains (minimum depths up to 300 m), located eastwards of the Mid-Atlantic ridge (Rockall and the underwater mountains southwards of Azores), are inhabited by the bottom ichthyofauna associated with European and North-African shelf. In this area the East-Atlantic species significantly prevail as compared to amphi-Atlantic and common tropical. On the Rockall plateau boreal and boreal-tropical European species prevail, while on the underwater mountains southwards of Azores the north-subtropical, boreal-subtropical and common tropical East-Atlantic species typical of the self of the Southern Europe and North-west Africa predominate. At mesobenthonic depths (more than 500m) the pattern of zoogeographic structure changes with ichthyofauna species composition variations. Ichthyofauna acquired similar pattern irrespective of the geographical location on the Mid-Atlantic ridge westwards or eastwards of it. Everywhere at these depth levels common tropical, amphi-atlantic and boreal-subtropical species predominate considerably. The number of East-Atlantic species is insignificant as compared to the above categories, though the increase of the East-Atlantic species is observed at the slope of the Rockall plateau and underwater mountains southwards of Azores, as well as the increase of common tropical species in Corner Mountains and the Mid-Atlantic ridge. The West-Atlantic fauna component on the peaks and slopes of researched mountains is small, and even on Corner Mountains located westwards of the Mid-Atlantic ridge the proportion of East-Atlantic species is twice more than West-Atlantic species (8:4). At mesobenthonic depths (more than 500m) in all areas the bathyal-pelagic fishes considerably predominate as compared to the bottom ones both by species diversity and biomass.

description: Reaching consensus in distributed systems is a topic with a long record of suggestions, discussions and approaches to solve. One instance of such a distributed system is the emerging Internet-of-Energy: Thousands of Smart Grid service providers participate in the orchestration of a multitude of intelligent energy devices and distributed energy resources (DER), to keep the balance between consumption and injection of electrical power. The traditional approach of reaching consensus with Paxos has serious drawbacks regarding scalability and dynamicality of node participation. Our work builds upon the results of Paxos and a number of its successors, such as Raft and Flexible Paxos, and takes on a more topologically driven perspective: We discuss a variant of Paxos that provides two important innovations towards applicability in future Smart Grids. First, leader election is explicitly bound to a number of nodes that are affected of the desired transaction, forming an election cluster. Election clusters (EC) are agreed upon dynamically in each round to achieve parallelizability of consensus depending on the grid topology and inter-dependability of nano- and micro-grids. Second, we describe a hierarchical extension of this scheme, where an aggregation of the achieved consensus is part of a higher level consensus scheme encompassing all nodes. This way, we achieve loose coupling combined with partial order of events, implementing a hierarchically distributed global consensus.
title: Seamounts, hotspots for high speciation rates in bentho-pelagic fishes? A case study on Macroramphosus spp. (Syngnathidae) from Great Meteor Seamount

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Snipefishes of the genus Macroramphosus (Syngnathidae) are the most abundant demersal fish species on the Great Meteor Seamount (GMR, subtropical NE Atlantic, 30° N, 28,5° W). High morphological variability within the genus at GMR questions the presence of only one species of Macroramphosus. Thus, 202 individuals of Macroramphosus spp. were investigated with respect to diet composition and morphology. A deep-bodied benthos feeding type (b-types) whose diet consisted of foraminiferans, pteropods, decapods and polychaetes, could be distinguished from a slender planktivorous type (p-types, n=140) mainly feeding on ostracods, copepods, pteropods and foraminiferans. Few specimens showed no specialized feeding mode (p/b-types). Both feeding types showed significantly morphologically differences after applying bi- and multivariate statistical analysis considering the variables body depth, length of second dorsal spine, diameter of orbit and standard length. Based on a randomisation test, the analysis of dietary overlaps revealed significant differences between feeding types. This result reinforces the hypothesis of two competing species of snipefishes at GMR. Notwithstanding similar observations on snipefishes from shelf habitats from the Pacific, our results suggest that isolated seamounts may represent hotspots of speciation where special selection pressure favours the evolution of two ecological divergent species within the genus Macroramphosus.

description: Lameness is a common disorder in US dairy herds and a welfare concern. Compared to non-lame cows, lame cows spend more time lying down. Although regular hoof trimming is often a component of lameness prevention efforts, increased lying time has been observed following hoof trimming, suggesting that it may cause discomfort in dairy cows. Preliminary work suggested that treatment with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug decreases the duration of increased lying time after hoof trimming. The objective of this study was to examine interactions between lameness, hoof trimming, and non-steroidal drug therapy. Our hypothesis was that cows treated with flunixin meglumine before and after hoof trimming would spend less time lying, have improved gait scores, and produce more milk than cows that had their hooves trimmed without concurrent drug treatment.

description: Two hybrid van der Waals density functionals (vdW-DFs) are constructed using 25%, Fock exchange with i) the consistent-exchange vdW-DF-cx functional and ii) with the vdW-DF2 functional. The ability to describe covalent and non-covalent binding properties of molecules are assessed. For properties related to covalent binding, atomization energies (G2-1 set), molecular reaction energies (G2RC set), as well as ionization energies (G21IP set) are benchmarked against experimental reference values. We find that hybrid-vdW-DF-cx yields results that are rather similar to those of the standard non-empirical hybrid PBE0 [JCP 110, 6158 (1996)]. Hybrid vdW-DF2 follows somewhat different trends, showing on average significantly larger deviations from the reference energies, with a MAD of 14.5 kcal/mol for the G2-1 set. Non-covalent binding properties of molecules are assessed using the S22 benchmark set of non-covalently bonded dimers and the X40 set of dimers of small halogenated molecules, using wavefunction-based quantum chemistry results for references. For the S22 set, hybrid-vdW-DF-cx performs better than standard vdW-DF-cx for the mostly hydrogen-bonded systems. Hybrid-vdW-DF2 offers a slight improvement over standard vdW-DF2. Similar trends are found for the X40 set, with hybrid-vdW-DF-cx performing particularly well for binding involving the strongly polar hydrogen halides, but poorly for systems with tiny binding energies. Our study of the X40 set reveals both the potential of mixing Fock exchange with vdW-DF, but also highlights shortcomings of the hybrids constructed here. The solid performance of hybrid-vdW-DF-cx for covalent-bonded systems, as well as the strengths and issues uncovered for non-covalently bonded systems, makes this study a good starting point for developing even more precise hybrid vdW-DFs.

description: We used DFT to study the energetics of the decomposition of alane, AlH3, on the Si(001) surface, as the acceptor complement to PH3. Alane forms a dative bond with the raised atoms of silicon surface dimers, via the Si atom lone pair. We calculated the energies of various structures along the pathway of successive dehydrogenation events following adsorption: AlH2, AlH and Al, finding a gradual, significant decrease in energy. For each stage, we analyse the structure and bonding, and present simulated STM images of the lowest energy structures. Finally, we find that the energy of Al atoms incorporated into the surface, ejecting a Si atom, is comparable to Al adatoms. These findings show that Al incorporation is likely to be as precisely controlled as P incorporation, if slightly less easy to achieve.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The ecological and oceanographic importance of seamounts for the status of marine food webs and biodiversity has recently been recognized. Seamounts have been intensively exploited in all world oceans, and serious stock depletion has been detected in every case. Resident seamount fish are mostly slow-growing and late-reproducing while transient migratory fish also rely on seamount food webs, so that the impact of overfishing raises serious concerns. Moreover, trawling threatens the integrity of benthic habitats. The prevention of further negative impacts on these sensitive ecosystems is now an important policy objective. Because of the extensive trophic links on seamounts, ecosystem-based modelling approaches are essential to understand the ecosystem functioning and to ensure an effective management. However, there have been few attempts to model seamount communities. This talk will discuss the problems associated with modelling seamount ecosystems using the Ecopath-with-Ecosim framework. We propose modelling approaches to seamount processes such as the influences of peculiar current patterns on the seamount system and complex food web structure depending on advective food supplies. The hypothesis that the aggregating fish stocks on seamounts are supported from external sources was supported by the Ecopath models.

description: Dairy cow lameness is an important health issue, with a negative impact in animal welfare and productivity. Lameness has been assessed using a locomotion scoring (LS) system based on behaviors and postures related to gait. However, LS evaluation is a time consuming task that is not routinely performed on large dairies. Implementation of methods for early lameness detection that are easily incorporated into management could increase the rate of detection. The objective of this study was to evaluate the intra-rater reliability among postural and gait abnormalities detected using locomotion scoring with observations in milking parlor (MP) and headlock stanchions (S).

Resilience hubs are facilities located within communities designed to improve residents' quality of life and increase the community's ability to respond to emergencies and disasters (Baja, 2016, 2018, 2019; Ciriaco & Wong, 2022). These hubs provide essential services and resources that are available both in everyday situations and during times of crisis. Each hub's specific elements and infrastructure are tailored to meet the unique characteristics and needs of the community it serves. Some of the key focuses of resilience hubs include mitigating the effects of climate change, improving social cohesion, promoting equity, and enhancing accessibility and mobility (Baja, 2018, 2019; Ciriaco & Wong, 2022; Kirwan et al., 2021). As Edmonton continues to face increasing risks, resilience hubs can be used as an adaptation strategy for a changing climate and changing communities to promote preparedness and quality of life.

description: Digital dermatitis (DD) is a commonly found foot lesion in cattle at the time of hoof trimming. At this point in time there are no licensed antimicrobials available for DD in North America, and DD is commonly treated with topical tetracycline antimicrobials at varying doses. This usage of topical tetracycline is extra-label drug use, and limited data is available to evaluate the risk of violative milk residues following treatment. Previous work that has evaluated the risk of violative milk residues only looked at one dosing regimen and used a tetracycline formulation that is currently not widely used by professional hoof trimmers or veterinarians. The objective of this project was to determine if various application methods or tetracycline dosages would result in tetracycline residue levels in milk.

description: The dynamic Stark shift results from the interaction of an atom with the electromagnetic field. We show how a propagating single-photon wave packet can induce a time-dependent dynamical Stark shift on a two-level system (TLS). A non-perturbative fully-quantum treatment is employed, where the quantum dynamics of both the field and the TLS are analyzed. We also provide the means to experimentally access such time-dependent frequency by measuring the interference pattern in the electromagnetic field inside a one-dimensional (1D) waveguide. The effect we evidence here may find applications in the autonomous quantum control of quantum systems without classical external fields, that can be useful for quantum information processing as well as for quantum thermodynamical tasks.

description: Claw horn lesions frequently result in lameness, and these types of lesions are associated with environment and animal husbandry practices rather than infectious pathogens. The paucity of scientific literature pertaining to intervention strategies for these lesions promote therapeutic trimming techniques with or without the application of a hoof block to the contralateral claw and producer-dependent use of systemic antibiotics and analgesics. In a recent survey of hoof trimmers and veterinarians, 53% of trimmers and 59% of veterinarians reported using topical application of medications to solar lesion, with extra-label use of tetracycline-derivatives being the most frequently reported topical medication. In the advent of modern analytical technology, more sensitive assays are available to detect pharmaceuticals present in consumable animal products. These assays offer a more sensitive evaluation of residues involving the topical application of tetracycline-derivatives, which warrants concerns over the potential for violative residues. Given these lesions result in exposure of raw corium and granulation tissue, the potential of topical medications entering the systemic blood circulation in treated animals is possible, and yet, no research has assessed if extra-label use of tetracycline-derivatives results in violative drug residues in plasma and milk. Our hypothesis is extra-label use of tetracycline-derivatives results in drug residues in both plasma and milk; however, the concentrations would not surpass the Food and Drug Administration’s reported acceptable level, 300 ppb.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In recent years, Iceland has conducted several trawl-acoustic surveys in the Irminger Sea and adjacent waters. The target species for the investigations has been pelagic redfish (Sebastes mentella), but all specimens caught in the Gloria type trawl used (40 mm codend) have been measured and/or counted. In addition to the redfish, the catch has consisted of numerous species of fishes with a modal length between 10 and 20 cm. In all the surveys, an extensive deep-scattering layer has been observed, mostly in depth between 300-800 m from the surface. In this paper, we show distribution and composition of the deep-scattering layer, based on combined information since 1996. Excluding the redfish, Myctophidae are the most common family of fish that are caught, most common species are Lampanyctus macdonaldi, Notoscopelus kroeyeri, Lampadena speculigera, Benthosema glaciale and Myctophum punctatum. Other common families (most common species in parenthesis) are Bathylagidae (Bathylagus euryops), Stomiidae (Chauliodus sloani, Stomias boa ferox, Borostomias antarcticus), Serrivomeridae (Serrivomer beani), Melamphaeidae (Scopelogadus beanii, Poromitra crassiceps), Platytroctidae (Normichthys operosus, Holtbyrnia macrops, Holtbyrnia anomala, Searsia koefoedi).

description: We study the ground-state phase diagram of a spin-1/2 XXZ model with a chirality-chirality interaction (CCI) on a two-leg ladder. This model offers a minimal setup to study an interplay between spin and chirality degrees of freedom. The spin-chirality duality transformation allows us to relate the regimes of weak and strong CCIs. By applying the Abelian bosonization and the duality, we obtain a rich phase diagram that contains distinct gapped featureless and ordered phases. In particular, Neel and vector chiral orders appear for easy-axis anisotropy, while two distinct symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases appear for easy-plane anisotropy. The two SPT phases can be viewed as twisted variants of the Haldane phase. We also present an effective description in terms of (spinor) hard-core bosons, which reveals critical behavior on the self-dual line in the easy-axis and easy-plane regimes. We perform numerical simulations to confirm the predicted phase structure and critical properties. We further demonstrate that the two SPT phases and a trivial phase are distinguished by topological indices in the presence of certain symmetries. A similar phase structure is expected in a spin-1/2 XXZ ladder with four-spin ring exchange.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The effects of decreasing bottom depth on the vertical migrating mesopelagic fish community was investigated at three shallow topographic features in the NE Atlantic. For this purpose the fish assemblage was sampled over three different bathymetric depth zones by stratified horizontal midwater tows. Our results showed a reduced mesopelagic fish biomass, species number and diversity above the flanks of Atlantis Seamount and Great Meteor Seamount compared to the surrounding oceanic deep water. There was no evidence for the existence of a seamount associated mesopelagic community at both study areas. The mesopelagic fish assemblages sampled above the seamount slopes is best described as a thinned out oceanic community. Over the plateaus of both seamounts we observed an almost complete lack of mesopelagic fish species. The truncation of the vertical migration range by shallow bottom topography and enhanced predation effects are presumed to be the main reasons for the observed gaps in mesopelagic fish abundance above the plateaus of both seamounts. The third investigated submarine feature, a pinnacle like structure associated with the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, showed no markedly effect in regard to biomass distribution and diversity on the mesopelagic fish community. This probably due to the much smaller and deeper summit area of this submarine feature in comparison to the studied table seamounts.

description: The massive evolved star Eta Carinae is the most luminous star in the Milky Way and has the highest steady wind mass-loss rate of any known star. Radiative transfer models of the spectrum by Hillier et al. predict that H-alpha is mostly emitted in regions of the wind at radii of 6 to 60 AU from the star (2.5 to 25 mas at 2.35 kpc). We present diffraction-limited images (FWHM ~25 mas) with Magellan adaptive optics in two epochs, showing that Eta Carinae consistently appears ~2.5 to 3 mas wider in H-alpha emission compared to the adjacent 643 nm continuum. This implies that the H-alpha line-forming region may have a characteristic emitting radius of 12 mas or ~30 AU, in very good agreement with the Hillier stellar-wind model. This provides direct confirmation that the physical wind parameters of that model are roughly correct, including the mass-loss rate of 10^-3 M_sun/yr, plus the clumping factor, and the terminal velocity. Comparison of the H-alpha images (ellipticity and PA) to the continuum images reveals no significant asymmetries at H-alpha. Hence, any asymmetry induced by a companion or by the primary's rotation do not strongly influence the global H-alpha emission in the outer wind.

description: Many dairy herds do not achieve their targets for reproductive performance. Despite many advances in technologies and management tools, producer attitudes towards, and frequency of implementation of these tools are not well documented. The objective of the present study was to survey current reproduction management practices in a representative sample of Canadian dairy farms.

Treating the Einstein-Hilbert action as a higher derivative Lagrangian: revealing the missing information about conformal non-invariance

description: The Hamiltonian formulation of conformally invariant Weyl-squared higher derivative theory teaches us that conformal symmetry is expressed through particular first class constraints related to the absence of the three-metric determinant and the trace of the extrinsic curvature from the theory. Any term depending on them which is added to this theory breaks conformal invariance and turns these constraints into second class ones. Such second class constraints are missing in the standard canonical formulation of the conformally non-invariant Einstein-Hilbert theory. It is demonstrated that such constraints do appear if the theory is treated as a higher derivative one --- if the extrinsic curvature is promoted to an independent variable, the apparently missing information about conformal behavior is revealed.

description: Goodearl and Launois have shown that for a log-canonical Poisson bracket on affine space there is no rational change of coordinates for which the Poisson bracket is constant. Our main result is that if affine space is given a log-canonical Poisson bracket, then there does not exist any rational change of coordinates for which the Poisson bracket is linear. Hence, log-canonical coordinates can be thought of as the simplest possible algebraic coordinates for affine space with a log-canonical coordinate system. In proving this conjecture we find certain invariants of log-canonical Poisson brackets on affine space which linear Poisson brackets do not have.

description: In order to understand the long-standing problem of the nature of glass states, we performed intensive simulations on the thermodynamic properties and potential energy surface of an ideal glass. We found that the atoms of an ideal glass manifest cooperative diffusion, and show clearly different behavior from the liquid state. By determining the potential energy surface, we demonstrated that the glass state has a flat potential landscape, which is the critical intrinsic feature of ideal glasses. When this potential region is accessible through any thermal or kinetic process, the glass state can be formed and a glass transition will occur, regardless of any special structural character. With this picture, the glass transition can be interpreted by the emergence of configurational entropies, as a consequence of flat potential landscapes.

description: The determinants of metabolic and reproductive health disorders and the degree to which housing and management can influence health are only partially understood. The objective of this randomized controlled study was to determine if a prepartum housing strategy of providing non-competitive feeding and lying access improves metabolic health and immune function and reduces reproductive disease.

description: The use of the double-ovsynch (DBLOV) protocol at first service in dairy herds has become more popular in dairy practice because of its potential to increase the conception risk (CR), especially in primiparous cows, compared with usual ovsynch or presynch protocols. The use of the DBLOV protocol implies giving four injections of commercial GnRH products to each cow. Previous studies have raised issues about the efficacy of GnRH hydrochloride (Factrel®, Zoetis Animal Health) to induce ovulation compared with other GnRH forms. However, few studies have reported CR when using the DBLOV protocol in a large number of dairy cows under field conditions. The objective of this study was to compare CR at first service when using GnRH hydrochloride (Factrel®) or GnRH acetate (Fertiline®, Vetoquinol) in a systematic DBLOV protocol in dairy cows under field conditions. The hypothesis was that there would be no significant difference between first-service CR between both GnRH forms.

description: We consider optical systems where propagation of light can be described by a Dirac-like equation with $PT$-symmetric Hamiltonian. In order to construct exactly solvable configurations, we extend the confluent Crum-Darboux transformation for the one-dimensional Dirac equation. The properties of the associated intertwining operators are discussed and the explicit form for higher-order transformations is presented. We utilize the results to derive a multi-parametric class of exactly solvable systems where the balanced gain and loss represented by the $PT$-symmetric refractive index can imply localization of the electric field in the material.
