description: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality of preweaned dairy calves. Costs associated with this condition include drug and labor costs as well as loss of animal productivity. Recent use of clinical scoring systems and thoracic ultrasonography allows for the diagnosis of different BRD subtypes including upper respiratory tract infection, clinical pneumonia, and subclinical pneumonia. Previously, the impact of antibiotic therapy has not been evaluated on these different BRD subtypes. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the impact of antibiotic therapy on the health and performance of preweaned dairy calves affected by different BRD subtypes.

description: In this chapter, we focus on the problem of containing the spread of diseases taking place in both temporal and adaptive networks (i.e., networks whose structure `adapts' to the state of the disease). We specifically focus on the problem of finding the optimal allocation of containment resources (e.g., vaccines, medical personnel, traffic control resources, etc.) to eradicate epidemic outbreaks over the following three models of temporal and adaptive networks: (i) Markovian temporal networks, (ii) aggregated-Markovian temporal networks, and (iii) stochastically adaptive models. For each model, we present a rigorous and tractable mathematical framework to efficiently find the optimal distribution of control resources to eliminate the disease. In contrast with other existing results, our results are not based on heuristic control strategies, but on a disciplined analysis using tools from dynamical systems and convex optimization.

description: While the level of milk intake from birth to weaning is positively associated with pre-weaning health, growth, and improved milk production in the adult dairy cow, producers are still reluctant to offer large volumes of milk during the first week or two of life due to concerns that increasing the daily allowance too quickly may cause nutritional (milk) scours. However, recent observational studies have reported a positive association between levels of milk consumption in the first days of life and future health events. The objective of this study was to describe the effect of offering a more liberal volume of milk immediately from day 1 of life, as compared to a traditional ramp-up program. We hypothesized that calves offered more milk early in life would not experience more scours, but rather would experience improved health and growth as compared to calves that were slowly ramped up in their daily milk allowance over a period of 7 - 14 days.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Baltic fisheries management is facing a period of difficult change in order to adjust the Baltic herring and cod stock management units to the stock assessment units recommended by ICES. Implementation of the Baltic herring and cod stock identification results require a new management system to be evolved based on management units that correspond as closely as possible with stock assessment units. However, any revised allocation agreed among the countries would include in an individual year winner and loser countries compared to the existing allocation scheme. Implementation of new revised management system implied development of new quota allocation criteria. The “strong equity' (i.e. all players get the same share under the new as under the old sharing system), an average sharing and min-max solution are considered. This paper discusses problems associated with re-allocation of fishing possibilities among counties when redefining TAC areas. This is exemplified by the case of the Baltic herring and cod. The possibilities for a pay-off between herring and cod when seeking an optimal solution to the combined cod-herring allocation problem are discussed.

description: We develop a framework for rendering photographic images, taking into account display limitations, so as to optimize perceptual similarity between the rendered image and the original scene. We formulate this as a constrained optimization problem, in which we minimize a measure of perceptual dissimilarity, the Normalized Laplacian Pyramid Distance (NLPD), which mimics the early stage transformations of the human visual system. When rendering images acquired with higher dynamic range than that of the display, we find that the optimized solution boosts the contrast of low-contrast features without introducing significant artifacts, yielding results of comparable visual quality to current state-of-the art methods with no manual intervention or parameter settings. We also examine a variety of other display constraints, including limitations on minimum luminance (black point), mean luminance (as a proxy for energy consumption), and quantized luminance levels (halftoning). Finally, we show that the method may be used to enhance details and contrast of images degraded by optical scattering (e.g. fog).

description: Group housing of dairy calves offers several advantages for dairy producers, yet calves housed in these systems have an increased risk of disease and it can be more challenging to detect a sick calf in a group. Fever is a widely used indicator of infectious diseases in dairy calves and often accompanies the two most common calf hood morbidities, diarrhea (DIA) and respiratory (RESP) disease. Indwelling rumen temperature bolus (RTB) systems are newly available for calves, but their utility in a field setting has not been formally evaluated. As a first step towards describing the utility (test characteristics) of this technology to detect morbidity, the objective of this study was to describe the relationship between automatically captured RTB temperatures and morbidity in group housed, pre-weaned dairy calves.

description: Mathematical modeling is a tool to project the impact of a potential epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in disease-free countries. Most published models of FMD spread in the U.S. focus on farm to farm transmission and represent the farm as a homogenous unit. We developed a model of FMD transmission dynamics and clinical manifestation within a U.S. beef feedlot, incorporating typical feedlot layout, production management, and animal demographics. We used the model to assess the time to detection on the feedlot based on varying clinical FMD prevalence detection thresholds. We also estimated the impact of stopping movement of cattle to hospital pens following detection on the within-feedlot FMD outbreak.

description: Concentration gradients play a critical role in embryogenesis, bacterial locomotion, as well as the motility of active particles. Particles develop concentration profiles around them by dissolution, adsorption, or the reactivity of surface species. These gradients change the surface energy of the particles, driving both their self-propulsion and governing their interactions. Here we uncover a regime in which solute-gradients mediate interactions between slowly dissolving droplets without causing autophoresis. This decoupling allows us to directly measure the steady-state, repulsive force, which scales with interparticle distance as $F\sim {1/r^{2}}$. Our results show that the process is diffusion rather than reaction rate limited, and the theoretical model captures the dependence of the interactions on droplet size and solute concentration, using a single fit parameter, $l=16\pm 3$~nm, which corresponds to the lengthscale of a swollen micelle. Our results shed light on the out-of-equilibrium behavior of particles with surface reactivity.

description: Acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP) is a non-infectious respiratory disease that affects the beef cattle industry and has been identified as one of the costliest diseases affecting feedlot cattle. Causative agents of AIP have been identified in grazing cattle; however, AIP cases in finishing feedlot cattle needs more research to identify and verify etiology, treatment options, and further define causative agents. The objectives of this study were to determine the accuracy of field diagnosis of AIP, determine the histological and infectious profiles of multiple organs of AIP affected cattle, and to define the production status and physical characteristics of AIP affected cattle.

description: Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death caused by excessive peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It can be activated by iron-based nanoparticles as a potential cancer therapeutic target. However, the intracellular transformation of iron-based nanoparticles is still ambiguous and the subsequent ferroptosis mechanism is also obscure. Here, we identified the time-course metabolism of ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIO) in cells by using X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy. Also, the integrated quantitative transcriptome and proteome data obtained from the cells exposed to USPIO exhibited hallmark features of ferroptosis. With the chemical species of iron oxide transforming to ferritin, the intracellular GPX4 down-regulated, and lipid peroxide began to accumulate. These results provide evidence that the intracellular metabolism of USPIO induced ferroptosis in a time-dependent manner, and iron over-loaded in cytoplasm along with lipid peroxidation of the membrane are involved in the detailed mechanism of ferroptosis signaling activation.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.For management purposes, the European Atlantic anchovy is separated in two distinct stocks, one distributed in the Bay of Biscay (ICES Sub-Area VIII) and the other occupying mainly the southern part of ICES Division IXa (Bay of Cadiz). However, spatio-temporal irregularities in the dynamics of the Sub-Area VIII stock as well as scant knowledge on the IXa anchovy biology lead ICES to recommend more studies on population dynamics and possible relationships between areas. The present work describes morphometric differences between the two stocks based on the analysis of 10 samples collected within the area from Bay of Biscay to the Bay of Cadiz during two consecutive years (2000 and 2001). Distances on a “Truss Network' were computed from 2D landmark coordinates obtained from digitized images of each individual and corrected from the effect of fish size. Principal Component Analysis was applied to the shape data, as well as a Multidimensional Scaling to the squared Mahalonobis distances (D2) between every pair of sample centroids to visualise clustering. The significance of the computed D2 distances was also statistically tested. Finally, Artificial Neural Networks were applied to assess the robustness of sample groups highlighted in the previous analyses. Results indicate a separation between samples from the Bay of Biscay and those from Division IXa, which is stable over time, as well as a north-south cline along the Portuguese and Bay of Cadiz area. This variability is mainly caused by differences on the shape of the medium-posterior region of the body.

description: The asynchronous nature of the state-of-the-art reinforcement learning algorithms such as the Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic algorithm, makes them exceptionally suitable for CPU computations. However, given the fact that deep reinforcement learning often deals with interpreting visual information, a large part of the train and inference time is spent performing convolutions. In this work we present our results on learning strategies in Atari games using a Convolutional Neural Network, the Math Kernel Library and TensorFlow 0.11rc0 machine learning framework. We also analyze effects of asynchronous computations on the convergence of reinforcement learning algorithms.

description: In today's modeling and analysis of electrochemical cycling of Li- and Na-ion batteries, an assumption is often made regarding the interphase that forms between the active material and liquid electrolyte at low potentials, the so-called solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). The SEI is generally assumed to act like an Ohmic resistor despite its complex chemical composition and porosity distribution. Here, one reports that this assumption does not hold for alkali-ion batteries. The SEI possesses a non-linear overpotential characteristic which saturates already at low current density of 0.1 mAcm-2 giving only 3.3$\pm$1 mV for Li-metal electrodes in different electrolytes. For Na- and K-metal electrodes, these SEI overpotentials become dominating with 31 mV and 72 mV at the same low current densities giving significant disadvantages over Li-ion batteries for commercial applications. With the introduction of a new term, one achieves agreement between the parameters from galvanostatic cycling and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for the first time. The discovery of the non-linear SEI overpotential disrupts the general believes about the role of the SEI for today's batteries as it is basically negligible for Li-ion batteries at room temperature.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Anglerfish, Lophius piscatorius and L. budegassa, are valuable commercial species distributed throughout the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean. This paper examines multiple information (genetic, morphometric, meristic, growth and mark-recapture) on stock structure of anglerfish species from western and southern European waters, to evaluate the suitability of current stocks units (northern and southern). For both anglerfish species, genetic structure showed significant heterogeneity observed mainly between geographically close population in L. piscatorius. More than 98% of the total genetic variation is attributable to differences within populations in both species, which suggest high gene flow within populations. On the other hand, the proportion of total genetic variation between stocks was relatively small. Morphometric characters allowed an acceptable discrimination of samples from certain areas, but not from stocks as a whole. Differences in the growth parameters between stocks was significant, although uncertainties in the ageing criteria diminished the utility of this approach. Tag-recapture experiments proved displacements of anglerfish going through the boundaries of the two stocks. Combined data from genetic, morphometric, growth and tag-recapture studies provide indications that the current geographic separation between the northern and southern stocks is not supported and suggest the existence of discreteness populations along the study area. Given the repercussion of the results in the assessment and management of the two species in the area, more research to improve our understanding of anglerfish stock structure is required.

description: This study analyzed time trends in the use of coronary procedures, guideline-based drugs, and 1-year all-cause and presumed cardiovascular mortality (CV) following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with and without bipolar disorder (BD). Using Danish registries 497 patients with ACS and BD in the period 1996–2016 were matched 1:2 on age, sex and year of ACS to patients without preexisting psychiatric disease. Patients with BD and ACS received fewer coronary angiography (CAG) compared to psychiatric healthy controls (PHC). However, the difference between the populations decreased over time. For percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass (CABG) no differences in trend over time were found. In general patients with BD redeemed fewer prescriptions of guideline-based tertiary prophylactic drugs compared to PHCs. The difference remains constant over time for all drugs except for acetylsalicylic acid, lipid-lowering drugs and beta blockers, where the difference decreased. The 1-year all-cause mortality gap and the presumed CV mortality gap remained unchanged. Despite improvements in treatment disparities regarding CAG, acetylsalicylic acid, lipid-lowering drugs and beta-blockers, the treatment gap remained unchanged concerning PCI and CABG. Likewise, patients with BD experienced a lower rate of the remaining redeemed prescriptions. The overall crude mortality risk ratio for patients with BD experiencing ACS remained unchanged over the study period compared to PHC.

description: In this paper we present the analytical expression for the neutron scattering law for an isotropic source of neutrons, obtained within the framework of the gas model with the temperature of the moderating medium as a parameter. The obtained scattering law is based on the solution of the kinematic problem of elastic scattering of neutrons on nuclei in the L-system in the general case. I.e. both the neutron and the nucleus possess the arbitrary velocity vectors in the L-system. For the new scattering law the flux densities and neutron moderation spectra depending on the temperature are obtained for the reactor fissile medium. The expressions for the moderating neutrons spectra allow reinterpreting the physical nature of the underlying processes in the thermal region.

description: Inspired by the observation of long lived coherences in photosynthetic complexes, organic molecules have become prominent candidates for light-harvesting devices that utilise coherent effects to enhance efficiency. An example that we study in this thesis is dark state protection, whereby coherent effects lead to an eigenstate decoupling from the electromagnetic field. Excitons transferred to this dark state by vibrational processes cannot recombine and reradiate, breaking detailed balance and increasing efficiency. Organic molecules typically have strong coupling to their vibrational environments. The central aim of this thesis is to understand the effects of this on the coherent efficiency enhancements procured by these light-harvesting systems. Moreover, it is known that systems with both strong vibrational coupling and weak light-matter coupling, typical of organic molecules in sunlight, display non-additive behaviour of the two environments. Therefore, the roles of vibrational coupling alone and in the presence of light-matter interactions are distinct. In this thesis we theoretically study strong vibrational coupling effects using the standard polaron and variational polaron transformations in conjunction with Redfield theory. We do so in a number of topical light-harvesting systems: a single optical dipole in free-space; two coupled dipoles in free space, and hundreds of billions of dipoles in a cavity. Starting from first principles derivations of the Hamiltonians, with explicit discussion of the effects of gauge-relative approximations, we explore the role of realistically strong vibrational coupling on coherences and light-harvesting efficiency. Throughout, we relate the calculations to experimentally observable spectra to bridge the gap to experimental realisation. Similarly, we also design experiments where coherent efficiency enhancements could be unambiguously observed by controlling the coherence of the exciting light source.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.This paper reviews the feasibility and practical use of conventional tags to identify fish stocks. There are many different types of tags and marks in use, external as well as internal, and many of them are used to estimate stock composition in mixed stocks and to follow their movements between different habitats. To obtain the best estimates, tagging and recovery of the fish must be representative. For the recovery of internally tagged fish, a systematic sampling program is required, whereas external tags can be recovered in sampling programs as well as by commercial fishermen. A tagging program should be carefully planned, taking into consideration effects of capture and handling of the fish, tag types to be used, retention ability of the tags, anaesthesia and recovery. We give examples of tagging studies of three pelagic species, Atlantic salmon, Atlantic mackerel, and Atlantic herring, and one deep-sea species, deep-sea redfish. Results from these studies show that conventional tagging can be used for estimating stock composition. However, there are some limitations. The main problems with the various mark-recapture studies have been the heterogeneity of tagging and recaptures and the lack of simultaneous large-scale marking in the whole distributional area. Such large-scale marking is often difficult due to the nature of the fishing fleet in which the fishery might be limited by national boundaries such that sampling merely reflects the fishing effort in space and time and not biological distribution of the fish.

It is discussed in the framework of a common model based on the one-dimensional cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in which an additional linear term is introduced to account the perturbation from a particular potential of externally applied force. The effect manifestation is demonstrated on the light beams propagating through a planar waveguide. The waveguide consists of a nonlinear layer able to guide dissipative solitons, and a magneto-optic substrate. In the waveguide an externally applied force is considered to be an inhomogeneous magnetic field which is induced by modulated electric currents flowing along a set of direct conducting wires adjusted on the top of the waveguide.

description: Johne's disease in dairy cattle is caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis (MAP). Diagnostic testing is an important tool to identify infected animals, however individual animal testing is expensive and labor intensive. A screening test to reliably identify herds with a significant MAP problem would be of great value to the industry. To evaluate the value of a bulk-milk screening test, we collected data on MAP infection status based on 1) fecal culture of cows in the herd, and 2) contemporary environmental samples, and compared these two estimates of MAP infection status to a bulk-milk MAP ELISA titer.

Gelation is induced independently on the addition of cations, while the final rheological properties are highly influenced by the type, the concentration as well as on the sequence of the operations since salts must be added before sonication to produce stiff gels. Cations with various charge and dimension have been associated to ultrasounds to induce gelation and the gel elastic modulus increase proportionally with the charge over the ion size ratio. SAXS analysis of the Na+ hydrogel and Ca2+ hydrogel to which the ion was added after sonication shows the presence of structurally ordered domains where water is confined as indicated by 1H-NMR investigation of the dynamic of water exchange in the hydrogels. Conversely, separated phases containing essentially free water, characterize the hydrogels obtained by sonication after Ca2+ addition, confirming that this ion induces irreversible fiber aggregation. The rheological properties of the hydrogels depend on the duration of the ultrasound treatment and it enables the design of materials programmed with tailored energy dissipation response.

description: All practice owners have to answer an often challenging question -- when and how, to sell their practice. The decision to exit from ownership is often not an easy one as there are many details and perspectives to consider. The decision to become an owner is also a weighty decision. Both are life changing decisions and should not be taken lightly. This article contains information on both sides that should help when the time comes for the decision making.

description: We study three distinct types of planar, spherically symmetric and localized structures, one of them having non-topological behavior and the two others being of topological nature. The non-topological structures have energy density localized in a compact region in the plane, but are unstable against spherically symmetric fluctuations. The topological structures are stable and behave as vortices and skyrmions at larger distances, but they engender interesting compact behavior as one approaches their inner cores. They are semi-compact skyrmion-like spin textures generated from models that allow to control the internal behavior of such topological structures.

Early career practice ownership

description: Financial independence is almost considered a pipedream nowadays among veterinary graduates. Years of disproportionate trends in educational costs and starting salaries have created a gargantuan student debt-to-income ratio. One troubling aspect of this multifaceted issue is the concurrent waning of recent veterinary graduates' interest in practice ownership. While private practice ownership has long been a staple of the profession, contemporary early career veterinarians are turning to internships, advanced specialized training, alternative fields, and careers as associate veterinarians. However, while the veterinary student loan debt debate continues, and as recent veterinary graduates have little control over rising educational costs, early career practice ownership is more relevant than ever. Early career practice ownership is a viable option for financial independence. It is also 1 part of the equation that each individual veterinary graduate can control. While early career practice ownership is not for everyone, this career path should garner strong consideration as a means to retire veterinary student loan debt.

description: The spectra of 413 star-forming (or HII) regions in M33 (NGC 598) were observed by using the multifiber spectrograph of Hectospec at the 6.5-m Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT). By using this homogeneous spectra sample, we measured the intensities of emission lines and some physical parameters, such as electron temperatures, electron densities, and metallicities. Oxygen abundances were derived via the direct method (when available) and two empirical strong-line methods, namely, O3N2 and N2. In the high-metallicity end, oxygen abundances derived from O3N2 calibration were higher than those derived from N2 index, indicating an inconsistency between O3N2 and N2 calibrations. We presented a detailed analysis of the spatial distribution of gas-phase oxygen abundances in M33 and confirmed the existence of the axisymmetric global metallicity distribution widely assumed in literature. Local variations were also observed and subsequently associated with spiral structures to provide evidence of radial migration driven by arms. Our O/H gradient fitted out to 1.1 $R_{25}$ resulted in slopes of $-0.17\pm0.03$, $-0.19\pm0.01$, and $-0.16\pm0.17$ dex $R_{25}^{-1}$ utilizing abundances from O3N2, N2 diagnostics, and direct method, respectively.

description: Practice sustainability is a necessity for the viability of the mixed animal veterinary practice industry. To keep mixed animal practices thriving, a plan is needed to transition practices from 1 generation to another. Buying into a mixed animal practice is often promised to a new associate doctor but not fulfilled. The process often lacks communication and a good plan. Drs. Wenger and Middleton will share their experiences on how their practice has transitioned from 1 generation to another. They continue to focus on transition as new-generation partners are joining the practice. They will touch on how to value a mixed animal practice. Purchasing a practice is a return on investment for the owner that is selling and a huge investment for the new owner that is buying shares of the practice. Much has been written about valuing, buying, and selling small animal practices, but there is little information on how this to relates to mixed animal practices. Large student loan debts complicate the process and often stop the discussion because no solution is presented. Current student loan income-based repayment plans may create challenges to young veterinary practice owners due to an increase in income, thereby increasing student loan payments and creating cash flow dilemmas. Drs. Wenger and Middleton conclude that it is possible to become an owner with student loan debt and complicated loan repayment schedules, and will share their experience as to how to make it happen.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) techniques were used to investigate spawning origins of juvenile whiting inhabiting inshore waters on the west coast of Scotland. Multivariate analysis of the trace metal composition of the otolith nucleus suggested that juvenile whiting collected in the Clyde Sea originated from a different spawning area to juveniles inhabiting the Firth of Lorn and the Sound of Sleat. Multivariate comparison of elemental composition of spawning region (i.e. otolith nucleus) and juvenile region (i.e. otolith edge), in whiting collected from a given inshore area, further suggested that in all cases spawning occurs outside the inshore region where juveniles spend their post-settlement phase. All elements, excluding Mn, were shown to be significantly higher in the juvenile region of the otolith. Whilst mechanisms of uptake of trace elements into the otolith matrix are not fully understood differences in otolith microchemistry identified here are most likely explained by differential environmental histories experienced during the initial larval phase.

description: In two dimensions, Gallagher's theorem is a strengthening of the Littlewood conjecture that holds for almost all pairs of real numbers. We prove an inhomogeneous fibre version of Gallagher's theorem, sharpening and making unconditional a result recently obtained conditionally by Beresnevich, Haynes and Velani. The idea is to find large generalised arithmetic progressions within inhomogeneous Bohr sets, extending a construction given by Tao. This precise structure enables us to verify the hypotheses of the Duffin--Schaeffer theorem for the problem at hand, via the geometry of numbers.

description: The value proposition is the collective set of offerings that you can potentially provide to your clients expressed in their language. Ultimately, it determines how your clients view your practice. Setting it down on paper in a methodical process that involves input from everyone in your practice, even clients, is an effective way to assess what you are providing, engage your staff in your continuous improvement efforts, and make decisions about how to allocate resources - both people and dollars - in the planning process. This paper provides such a process using an accepted group management technique called "affinity diagramming." Four steps are involved and it can be applied to any type or size of practice. After you complete it, you can use it as a "living document" that changes as you add more services, your market needs and client wants change, and/or technology offers new and better ways to deliver a benefit to your clients.
