description: How well do you understand what your dairy farm clients need and want from your practice? The value proposition can be a useful tool for identifying current and future needs of clients and then assessing how well your practice meets those needs. Valley Veterinary Clinic, SC is a large private practice serving the diverse dairy industry in north-eastern Wisconsin. This presentation will outline several relevant attributes of the practice and highlight how Valley Veterinary Clinic is using the value proposition to better meet the needs of its dairy clients.

description: Broad (~10,000 km/s), double-peaked emission-line profiles of Balmer lines emitted by active galactic nuclei (AGN) are thought to originate in the outer parts of an accretion disk surrounding a nuclear supermassive black hole (SMBH), at R~1000 gravitational radii and are most frequently observed in the nuclear spectra of low-luminosity AGN (LLAGN) and radio-galaxies. In the present paper we argue that broad double-peaked profiles are present also in the spectra of other Type 1 AGN, such as Seyfert 1 galaxies, suggesting that the inner part of the broad-line region (BLR) is also the outer part of the accretion disk. We use the Palomar spectral survey of nearby galaxies to show that the only difference between Seyfert 1 BLR line profiles and "bona fide" double peakers is that, in most cases, besides a disk component, we need an additional Gaussian component attributed to non-disk clouds. The recognition that the inner and most variable part of the BLR has a disk geometry suggests that the factor 'f ' in the expression to obtain the SMBH mass (M) in Type 1 AGN M(SMBH)=f [R(BLR) (Delta V)^2]/G is f = 1/[sin^2(i)] for the disk dominated sources. Our median inclination i=27 degrees implies f=4.5, very close to the most recent value of f=4.3+/-1.05, obtained from independent studies. We derive a relation between f and the FWHM of the broad profile that may help to reduce the uncertainties in the SMBH mass determinations of AGN.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Spanish demersal trawlers which operate in the Grand Sole and Porcupine Areas usually make between 50 and 80 hauls in each fishing trip, lasting around 15 days where fishing is almost continuous. Since the observer is not able to sample every haul, it is crucial to define a robust number of hauls to be sampled by the observer. A bootstrap analysis was carried out to determine the minimum number of hauls to be sampled to reduce significantly intra-variance within a fishing trip. Additionally, number of vessels and trips per vessel to be sampled was also analysed. Taking account the multistage sampling design and partitioning the over-all variability over the various stages, optimum sample sizes was estimated. On the other hand, fishermen may vary its retained catch and discard patterns whilst fishing trip occurs. Particular targets, discarded fish length or proportion of discarded/retained may change according to weather, occasional presence/absence of main target, storage space, quota exceeded, etc… To look into these plausible differences, every fishing trip was divided in three periods, beginning of the trip, half period and ending period, containing each one the same number of hauls. Several statistical tests were applied to these three periods to look for differences as well as to fit a consistent division of hauls to every period. Finally, an optimal allocation sampling scheme is suggested, both in terms of minimum number of hauls to be sampled and temporal division of those hauls along the fishing trip.
Geometric Structure of Pseudo-plane Quadratic Flows

description: Quadratic flows have the unique property of uniform strain and are commonly used in turbulence modeling and hydrodynamic analysis. While previous application focused on two-dimensional homogeneous fluid, this study examines the geometric structure of three-dimensional quadratic flows in stratified fluid by solving a steady-state pseudo-plane flow model. The complete set of exact solutions reveals that steady quadratic flows have invariant conic type in non-rotating frame and non-rotatory vertical structure in rotating frame. Three baroclinic solutions with vertically non-aligned structure disprove an earlier conjecture. The rich topology of quadratic flows stands in contrast to the depleted geometry of high-degree polynomial flows. A paradox in the steady solutions of shallow-water reduced-gravity models is also explained.

description: Developing critical thinking skills is a common goal of an undergraduate physics curriculum. How do students make sense of evidence and what do they do with it? In this study, we evaluated students' critical thinking behaviors through their written notebooks in an introductory physics laboratory course. We compared student behaviors in the Structured Quantitative Inquiry Labs (SQILabs) curriculum to a control group and evaluated the fragility of these behaviors through procedural cueing. We found that the SQILabs were generally effective at improving the quality of students' reasoning about data and making decisions from data. These improvements in reasoning and sensemaking were thwarted, however, by a procedural cue. We describe these changes in behavior through the lens of epistemological frames and task orientation, invoked by the instructional moves.
Taking the mystery out of food animal surgery for the new graduate

description: Throughout veterinary school we are instructed on the ideal technique for a number of surgical procedures. You may even consult some of the many good references that are readily available. Unlike my time in veterinary school, you even have internet videos to watch. All of this will do a lot to help you prepare for life after graduation. However, none of your food animal patients will have sat through lectures, read books or watched those same videos so things may not be exactly as you expect when YOU get on the farm. Our goal in this presentation will be to discuss some common procedures and prepare you to do them uncommonly well, even when it is not exactly like the book. Come prepared with questions and we will make this an interactive session. This is not a presentation on antibiotic use. We must certainly be aware of all the changing regulations on appropriate use of antibiotics and never abuse or overuse antibiotics. However, there is a decrease in post-operative complications in many procedures when peri-operative antibiotics are used. Remember these are most effective when first given pre-operatively to reach blood levels prior to making an incision.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.There exists an urgent need in fisheries science for simple models for assessing the impact of fishing on the dynamics of fish communities. We present a new class of predator prey models that describe the relationship between predators and their prey by piecewise-linear differential equations. Interactions are governed by threshold values for population abundances. The simplest model has four distinct cases with different asymptotic stable states. The model allows for fishing mortality on both predator and prey. If fishing mortality on either the predator, the prey or both are varied, the system might move to new stable states. The threshold values act as reference points for fishing exploitation, as they indicate a structural change in the predator-prey relationship. The model is demonstrated for several predator-prey couples in the Celtic Sea.

description: Ifosfamide is an alkylating chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of various neoplasms. Its main adverse effects include renal damage. A comprehensive review was conducted, including 100 articles from the Scielo, Scopus, and EMBASE databases. Ifosfamide-induced nephrotoxicity is attributed to its toxic metabolites, such as acrolein and chloroacetaldehyde, which cause mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress in renal tubular cells. Literature review found a 29-year average age with no gender predominance and a mortality of 13%. Currently, no fully effective strategy exists for preventing ifosfamide-induced nephrotoxicity; however, hydration, forced diuresis, and other interventions are employed to limit renal damage. Long-term renal function monitoring is essential for patients treated with ifosfamide. Ifosfamide remains essential in neoplasm treatment, but nephrotoxicity, often compounded by coadministered drugs, poses diagnostic challenges. Preventive strategies are lacking, necessitating further research. Identifying timely risk factors can mitigate renal damage, and a multidisciplinary approach manages established nephrotoxicity. Emerging therapies may reduce ifosfamide induced nephrotoxicity. Ifosfamide is a type of chemotherapy used to treat different types of cancers. However, one of its main side effects is kidney damage. Researchers reviewed 100 articles from medical databases to understand how ifosfamide affects the kidneys. The kidney damage is caused by harmful substances produced when ifosfamide is broken down in the body. These substances can harm the cells in the kidneys. Studies have shown that 13% of the patients treated with ifosfamide can die. Currently, there is no perfect way to prevent kidney damage from ifosfamide, but doctors try to protect the kidneys by giving patients plenty of fluids and using other treatments, so it’s important for patients who receive ifosfamide to have their kidney function checked regularly. Although ifosfamide is effective against cancer, its potential kidney side effects should be carefully considered by doctors when deciding on the best treatment for each patient.

description: Diarrhea in preweaned dairy calves is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Optimizing health in this crucial period without antibiotics is of primary interest. Celmanax™ SCP (CSCP) contains derivatives of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall blended with fermentation products. Mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) are yeast cell wall components with binding sites for Gram negative bacteria that lead to pathogen removal. MOS and β-glucans may produce immunomodulatory effects . Dosing with S. cerevisiae has been shown to prevent clinical signs in calves challenged with Salmonella spp. Additionally, S. cerevisiae lowered fecal scores pre- and postweaning (Alugongo et al, 2016]. Our objective was to investigate the effect of CSCP supplementation in Holstein dairy calves, on fecal pathogen shedding, overall health and average daily gain (ADG) during the preweaning period.

description: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) has been estimated as the cause of death in 22.5 % of pre-weaned and 46.5 % in post-weaned heifers. In 2010, 18.1 % of pre-weaned heifers on dairy heifer raising operations were reportedly affected by pneumonia, the second most common illness after diarrhea. Despite the availability of numerous vaccines and antibiotics specifically approved for the prevention and treatment of BRD, morbidity and mortality in dairy calves have remained static over the past 25 years. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to determine how management practices on California dairies are associated with BRD in pre-weaned calves.

description: The scaling up of electron spin qubit based nanocircuits has remained challenging up to date and involves the development of efficient charge control strategies. Here we report on the experimental realization of a linear triple quantum dot in a regime isolated from the reservoir. We show how this regime can be reached with a fixed number of electrons. Charge stability diagrams of the one, two and three electron configurations where only electron exchange between the dots is allowed are observed. They are modelled with established theory based on a capacitive model of the dot systems. The advantages of the isolated regime with respect to experimental realizations of quantum simulators and qubits are discussed. We envision that the results presented here will make more manipulation schemes for existing qubit implementations possible and will ultimately allow to increase the number of tunnel coupled quantum dots which can be simultaneously controlled.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In the minds of many people, better stock assessment will require more complex models such as multispecies, multiarea and perhaps multifleet models. But is this always true? By considering a case-study based on Celtic Sea groundfish stocks, we review the biological processes and interactions and determine whether data and understanding of these processes is adequate for successful incorporation into a more complex management tool. Our approach is to determine what such a multispecies model need look like in this situation, and then to consider the expected performance of such a model based on preliminary results from a simplified food-web and literature studies.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Recent photometric studies have revealed that surface spots that produce flux variations are present on virtually all L and T dwarfs. Their likely magnetic or dusty nature has been a much-debated problem, the resolution to which has been hindered by paucity of diagnostic multi-wavelength observations. To test for a correlation between magnetic activity and photometric variability, we searched for H$α$ emission among eight L3$-$T2 ultra-cool dwarfs with extensive previous photometric monitoring, some of which are known to be variable at 3.6 $μ$m or 4.5 $μ$m. We detected H$α$ only in the non-variable T2 dwarf 2MASS J12545393$-$0122474. The remaining seven objects do not show H$α$ emission, even though six of them are known to vary photometrically. Combining our results with those for 86 other L and T dwarfs from the literature show that the detection rate of H$α$ emission is very high (94$\%$) for spectral types between L0 and L3.5 and much smaller (20$\%$) for spectral types $\ge$L4, while the detection rate of photometric variability is approximately constant (30$\%-$55$\%$) from L0 to T8 dwarfs. We conclude that chromospheric activity, as evidenced by H$α$ emission, and large-amplitude photometric variability are not correlated. Consequently, dust clouds are the dominant driver of the observed variability of ultra-cool dwarfs at spectral types at least as early as L0.

description: A hybrid kMC/LLG algorithm is used to simulate experimental MH hysteresis loops for dual layer ECC media. The calculation of the rate coefficients and difficulties arising from low energy barriers, a fundamental problem of the kMC method, are discussed and the methodology used to treat them in the present work is described. The results from simulations are compared with experimental data on dual layer ECC CoPtCrB/CoPtCrSiO media. A quantitative relationship between the thickness of the exchange control layer and the effective exchange constant between the layers is demonstrated.

description: We use the Gemini Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectrograph (NIFS) to map the stellar kinematics of the inner few hundred parsecs of a sample of 16 nearby Seyfert galaxies, at a spatial resolution of tens of parsecs and spectral resolution of 40 km/s. We find that the line-of-sight (LOS) velocity fields for most galaxies are well reproduced by rotating disk models. The kinematic position angle (PA) derived for the LOS velocity field is consistent with the large scale photometric PA. The residual velocities are correlated with the hard X-ray luminosity, suggesting that more luminous AGN have a larger impact in the surrounding stellar dynamics. The central velocity dispersion values are usually higher than the rotation velocity amplitude, what we attribute to the strong contribution of bulge kinematics in these inner regions. For 50% of the galaxies, we find an inverse correlation between the velocities and the $h_3$ Gauss-Hermitte moment, implying red wings in the blueshifted side and blue wings in the redshifted side of the velocity field, attributed to the movement of the bulge stars lagging the rotation. Two of the 16 galaxies (NGC 5899 and Mrk 1066) show an S-shape zero velocity line, attributed to the gravitational potential of a nuclear bar. Velocity dispersion maps show rings of low-$σ$ values (50-80 km/s) for 4 objects and "patches" of low-sigma for 6 galaxies at 150-250 pc from the nucleus, attributed to young/ intermediate age stellar populations.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.An important goal of fishery management is the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fish stocks whereas the goal of fishermen is the maximization of profit. At first view this seems to be contradictory to the precautionary approach. Fishing effort and mesh opening are the main technical measures of the management to direct control of stock exploitation, whereas biological or economic parameters are beyond direct control. The novelty of this paper is apart from the control of fishing effort also the inclusion of mesh opening for conservations of stocks but also for the optimization of profit. This is shown for the cod and flounder fisheries in the Baltic Sea. The optimal mesh opening is larger than the current one and its use ensures at the same time a sustainable exploitation of cod and flounder and a higher profit for the fishermen within the limits of precautionary approach. In addition, the usage of larger meshes drastically reduces the risk of a stock collapse by a long-term increase of the spawning stock size. This results in a higher recruitment and further improvement of the profit prospects.

description: Context: Continuous practices, i.e., continuous integration, delivery, and deployment, are the software development industry practices that enable organizations to frequently and reliably release new features and products. With the increasing interest in and literature on continuous practices, it is important to systematically review and synthesize the approaches, tools, challenges, and practices reported for adopting and implementing continuous practices. Objective: This research aimed at systematically reviewing the state of the art of continuous practices to classify approaches and tools, identify challenges and practices in this regard, and identify the gaps for future research. Method: We used systematic literature review (SLR) method for reviewing the peer-reviewed papers on continuous practices published between 2004 and 1st June 2016. We applied thematic analysis method for analysing the data extracted from reviewing 69 papers selected using predefined criteria. Results: We have identified thirty approaches and associated tools, which facilitate the implementation of continuous practices in the following ways: (1) "reducing build and test time in continuous integration (CI)"; (2) "increasing visibility and awareness on build and test results in CI"; (3) "supporting (semi-) automated continuous testing"; (4) "detecting violations, flaws and faults in CI"; (5) "addressing security and scalability issues in deployment pipeline", and (6) "improving dependability and reliability of deployment process". We have also determined a list of critical factors such as "testing (effort and time)", "team awareness and transparency", "good design principles", "customer", "highly skilled and motivated team", "application domain", and "appropriate infrastructure" that should be carefully considered when introducing continuous practices in a given organization.

description: In the last few years, microblogging platforms such as Twitter have given rise to a deluge of textual data that can be used for the analysis of informal communication between millions of individuals. In this work, we propose an information-theoretic approach to geographic language variation using a corpus based on Twitter. We test our models with tens of concepts and their associated keywords detected in Spanish tweets geolocated in Spain. We employ dialectometric measures (cosine similarity and Jensen-Shannon divergence) to quantify the linguistic distance on the lexical level between cells created in a uniform grid over the map. This can be done for a single concept or in the general case taking into account an average of the considered variants. The latter permits an analysis of the dialects that naturally emerge from the data. Interestingly, our results reveal the existence of two dialect macrovarieties. The first group includes a region-specific speech spoken in small towns and rural areas whereas the second cluster encompasses cities that tend to use a more uniform variety. Since the results obtained with the two different metrics qualitatively agree, our work suggests that social media corpora can be efficiently used for dialectometric analyses.

description: Faba bean grows particularly on heavier soils that hold and supply water to the plant. If the site conditions are suitable, a careful choice of cultivar (variety) lays the foundation for successful faba bean cultivation. Although the number of cultivars available to growers is rel­atively small, several new cultivars with novel characteristics have come onto the market in Germany in recent years. The main differences are in grain yield potential and crude protein content, the level of antinutritional constituents, thousand grain weight (TGW), and to some ex­tent, disease susceptibility.

description: The long-standing anomaly in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon indicates the presence of chirality violating new physics contributions. A possible solution involves scalar leptoquarks with left- and right-handed couplings to the top quark. Two such representations of scalar leptoquarks exist for which the contribution to $(g-2)_μ$ can possess an $m_t/m_μ$ enhancement compared to the Standard Model. The leptoquarks also induce loop corrections to $Z$ couplings to muons which probe as well new physics contributions which possess sources of $SU(2)$ symmetry breaking and we find that this effect should be observable at future experiments as GigaZ or TLEP. Furthermore, once interactions of the leptoquark with tau leptons and electrons are present, additional correlated effects in anomalous magnetic moments, $Z\to\ell\ell^\prime$ and $\ell\to\ell^\primeγ$ arise, which can be used to test the model and to determine the flavour structure of the couplings. We find that the two representations of leptoquarks can be distinguished also from low energy experiments: one representation predicts constructive interference with the Standard Model in $Z$ couplings to leptons and effects in $B\to K^{(\star)}ν\barν$, while the other representation interferes destructively with the Standard Model in $Z$ couplings to leptons and gives a $C_9=C_{10}$-like contribution to $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ processes.

description: We carried out the first multi-wavelength (optical/UV and X-ray) photometric reverberation mapping of a tidal disruption flare (TDF) ASASSN-14li. We find that its X-ray variations are correlated with and lag the optical/UV fluctuations by 32$\pm$4 days. Based on the direction and the magnitude of the X-ray time lag, we rule out X-ray reprocessing and direct emission from a standard circular thin disk as the dominant source of its optical/UV emission. The lag magnitude also rules out an AGN disk-driven instability as the origin of ASASSN-14li and thus strongly supports the tidal disruption picture for this event and similar objects. We suggest that the majority of the optical/UV emission likely originates from debris stream self-interactions. Perturbations at the self-interaction sites produce optical/UV variability and travel down to the black hole where they modulate the X-rays. The time lag between the optical/UV and the X-rays variations thus correspond to the time taken by these fluctuations to travel from the self-interaction site to close to the black hole. We further discuss these time lags within the context of the three variants of the self-interaction model. High-cadence monitoring observations of future TDFs will be sensitive enough to detect these echoes and would allow us to establish the origin of optical/UV emission in TDFs in general.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Trophic models can quantify the constraints on production within an ecosystem. Such models require estimates of biomass across the spectrum of species assemblages, along with detailed knowledge of trophic interactions. In order to construct a food web model for the northeast USA continental shelf ecosystem, we estimated time series of demersal and pelagic species biomasses for four areas (Mid-Atlantic Bight, Southern New England, Georges Bank, Gulf of Maine) using spring and autumn research survey data. Species were grouped based on food habits and taxonomic relationships. Survey catchabilities were assumed to be similar within each group. We used a Bayesian estimation framework to characterize uncertainty in our results. An informative prior distribution for survey catchability was derived from published studies. Observed survey catchability data were taken from published studies and derived from stock assessments of individual species. Our results showed that total demersal and pelagic species biomass differed among regions, ranging from 29 g@m—2 in the Mid-Atlantic Bight to 16 g@m—2 in the Gulf of Maine. It was also evident that dramatic changes have occurred in the biomasses of major demersal and pelagic species groups across areas. There was a system-wide increase in the abundance of commercial pelagic finfishes in the mid-1980s. Determining whether pelagic forage species will decrease if demersal predator abundance increases will be important for implementing an ecosystem approach to fisheries management in this region.

description: Johne's disease (JD) is a chronic disease of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP). It has generally been accepted that cattle become infected as calves by ingesting MAP shed by adult cows. Due to MAP's slow-growing nature, JD has a long incubation period with clinical signs not becoming evident in infected cattle for years. However, infected cattle often shed MAP before the onset of clinical signs, albeit intermittently and at low levels. With a recent study documenting horizontal transmission of MAP from calf to calf, identifying infected cattle in the early stages of JD has become even more important. Fecal culture (FC) on Herrold's egg yolk media (HEYM) is only 50% sensitive in identifying subclinically infected adult animals. Studies using an automated liquid culture system report improved test sensitivity, capable of identifying MAP at lower levels than culture on HEYM. The purpose of this study was to determine if fecal shedding of MAP could be detected in naturally exposed dairy calves using a liquid culture system (ESP II).

description: Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP), the cause of Johne's disease (JD), is common in US dairy herds with over 68% of herds containing infected cattle. As there is no approved or effective treatment for JD, control depends on minimizing transmission of MAP to uninfected cattle. Early identification and removal of infected cattle would help minimize JD transmission. Unfortunately, because of the slow progression of JD, early identification of infected cattle is problematic due to poor sensitivity and specificity of currently available diagnostic tests in young, subclinically infected heifers. Moreover, it is unclear whether testing young heifers is cost-effective, given the constraints and costs of current tests, as well as the indefinite effects of subclinical MAP infection on individual cow productivity reported in the literature. Repeated exposure to high levels of MAP accelerates JD progression such that clinical signs are exhibited in relatively young cattle. Accordingly, these cattle should test positive for MAP at a younger age. Multiple studies have documented fecal shedding of MAP in naturally infected calves less than 24 months of age, but none have followed these calves into adulthood to see how they perform as mature cows. The objective of this study was to compare herd longevity, production performance, and adult MAP test status of cows testing positive for MAP <24 months of age to age-matched herdmates.

title: Spatial interactions between newly settled 0-group cod (Gadus morhua) and their principal predators in the North Sea: a) Grey gurnards (Eutrigla gurnardus)

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Over recent years there has been a sharp decline in the spawning stock biomass (SSB) and the recruitment of young cod (Gadus morhua) to the North Sea fishery. This study takes a multispecies approach to investigating the extent to which predation by gurnards is implicated in the decline of North Sea cod. Cod larvae and post-larvae are pelagic in their behaviour and the 0-groups (fish under a year old) settle to become demersal in habit in the early summer at the age of about five months. Data from the English summer groundfish survey (EGFS) since 1977 were used to chart trends in the abundance and spatial distribution of post-settlement 0-group cod and their predators- in this case grey gurnards (Eutrigla gurnardus). Grey gurnards predate heavily on post settlement 0-group cod and the abundance of grey gurnard has increased in the North Sea in recent years.

description: Thermodynamic potential of a neutral two-dimensional (2D) Cou\-lomb fluid, confined to a large domain with a smooth boundary, exhibits at any (inverse) temperature $β$ a logarithmic finite-size correction term whose universal prefactor depends only on the Euler number of the domain and the conformal anomaly number $c=-1$. A minimal free boson conformal field theory, which is equivalent to the 2D symmetric two-component plasma of elementary $\pm e$ charges at coupling constant $Γ=βe^2$, was studied in the past. It was shown that creating a non-neutrality by spreading out a charge $Q e$ at infinity modifies the anomaly number to $c(Q,Γ) = - 1 + 3ΓQ^2$. Here, we study the effect of non-neutrality on the finite-size expansion of the free energy for another Coulomb fluid, namely the 2D one-component plasma (jellium) composed of identical pointlike $e$-charges in a homogeneous background surface charge density. For the disk geometry of the confining domain we find that the non-neutrality induces the same change of the anomaly number in the finite-size expansion. We derive this result first at the free-fermion coupling $Γ\equivβe^2=2$ and then, by using a mapping of the 2D one-component plasma onto an anticommuting field theory formulated on a chain, for an arbitrary coupling constant.

description: Antimicrobial resistance concerns have created a renewed interest in antimicrobial stewardship programs in both human and veterinary medicine. Due to the associated logistical and administrative burdens, formal antimicrobial stewardship programs have seen limited adoption outside of large institutional care centers. However, one of the key components of these programs is to optimize antimicrobial therapy - administration: of the right drug, to the right patient, at the right dose, by the right route, for the right duration. Optimizing dosing regimens does not have the same logistical burdens as a formal program, it simply requires evidential support and implementation by individual clinicians; which begs the question, "what is the basis for our current duration of antibiotic therapy recommendations?". To answer this question, a literature search was conducted to evaluate the scientific basis to support current recommendations for duration of therapy in veterinary medicine. Overall, the quantity and quality of scientific studies to support a specific duration oftherapy for a specific antimicrobial was underwhelming. However, the limited data generally supports the assumption that shorter durations of therapy can be effective and should be more thoroughly investigated.
