description: We prove a Matrix-Tree Theorem enumerating the spanning trees of a cell complex in terms of the eigenvalues of its cellular Laplacian operators, generalizing a previous result for simplicial complexes. As an application, we obtain explicit formulas for spanning tree enumerators and Laplacian eigenvalues of cubes; the latter are integers. We prove a weighted version of the eigenvalue formula, providing evidence for a conjecture on weighted enumeration of cubical spanning trees. We introduce a cubical analogue of shiftedness, and obtain a recursive formula for the Laplacian eigenvalues of shifted cubical complexes, in particular, these eigenvalues are also integers. Finally, we recover Adin's enumeration of spanning trees of a complete colorful simplicial complex from the cellular Matrix-Tree Theorem together with a result of Kook, Reiner and Stanton.

description: Segmenting windows and doors on 3D point cloud models allows for heat loss audits around these areas. Researchers have collected aerial images to reconstruct 3D models for large districts, but easily accessible training datasets with data acquired on ground level cannot be directly used for segmentation on 3D models reconstructed by aerial images. Additionally, building a new dataset is a time-consuming and labour-intensive process. Therefore, we propose a segmentation approach that uses open source training datasets to segment windows and doors on façade images rendered from 3D point clouds. The results show that our approach can make full use of open source datasets to segment windows and doors, and that such trained segmentation models performs differently for different building styles. In addition, different algorithms result in various degrees of accuracy and segmentation on windows performs better than on doors.
Unintended Protection Factor: Fallout Shelters and their Influence on the Public Perception of Nuclear Weapon Tests

description: While we presently look upon fallout shelters with a sense of morbid curiosity or complete disregard, their influence has outlasted their occupants. After the closure of World War Two in 1945, the initial foundations and experience of civil defense in the United States was rapidly expanded upon in 1949 with the creation of the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization, OCDM, as the military and atomic technology race between the Soviet Union and the United States showcased the risks of a nuclear exchange on the American heartland. One of the earliest and most controversial programs established by the OCDM was the fallout shelter program. The program’s efforts, and the shelters themselves, would become a focal point of public animosity towards the federal government. A growing extent of this anger was focused on the above ground nuclear weapon tests the United States was conducting until their outlawing with the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963. While there has been considerable research into the failures of civil defense and the critical response from the American public towards the department, little has been done to link fallout shelters to impacts and influences on national security. The focus of my research is understanding how the relationship between public knowledge and the fallout shelter program contributed to the questioning of national security policy and how the United States government attempted to maintain national security interests as the public perception of nuclear weapon tests shifted away from the federal policy. I argue that through federally provided information, seminars, and design competitions for fallout shelters, the American public became acutely aware of the effects of nuclear weapon tests, such as radioactive fallout, and sought to protect themselves against long-lasting damage. Overall contributing to the American public becoming increasingly skeptical of United States policy and questioning the legitimacy of its actions. This reaction highlights the importance of how federally funded programs can create public reactions that run counter to national security concerns and influence greater social discourse.

description: We review the basic hypotheses which motivate the statistical framework used to analyze the cosmic microwave background, and how that framework can be enlarged as we relax those hypotheses. In particular, we try to separate as much as possible the questions of gaussianity, homogeneity and isotropy from each other. We focus both on isotropic estimators of non-gaussianity as well as statistically anisotropic estimators of gaussianity, giving particular emphasis on their signatures and the enhanced "cosmic variances" that become increasingly important as our putative Universe becomes less symmetric. After reviewing the formalism behind some simple model-independent tests, we discuss how these tests can be applied to CMB data when searching for large scale "anomalies"

title: Systemizing Provenance Research on Objects from Colonial Contexts
Creators: name: Grimme, Gesa
Publisher: name: University of Leicester, Department of Museum Studies
Year: 2020

description: Recent debates surrounding the establishment of the Humboldt Forum in Berlin have given rise to questions of how to address the colonial histories of collections housed in Germany’s ethnographic museums. So far, research into the colonial background of these collections has focused mostly on exemplary case studies, specific objects or donors. Between 2016 and 2018, the Project Discomforting Heritage: Objects from Colonial Contexts in Anthropological Museums,1 a cooperation between the Linden Museum Stuttgart and the University of Tübingen, sought a more systematic mode for researching objects from colonial contexts. This article reports on the resulting survey of the Linden Museum’s collections from former colonial territories, which asked two key questions: when did the objects arrive and who donated or sold them to the museum. Based on the results, the article details how this approach addresses the collections’ inter- connectedness with colonial structures, provides a foundation for a systematic and pro-active handling of these collections, and lays down important groundwork for the respectful sharing of information with stakeholder communities.
Displaced Abomasum

description: Incidence of displaced abomasum (DA) in dairy cows is at least 10 times higher in Wisconsin herds than in Sweden, even though average fat-corrected milk production levels are similar. In southern Wisconsin an incidence of 2.5-3.5% appears normal (Dr. Rhoda, personal communication, Evansville, WI). Feed ingredient and breed differences may be associated with different incidence rates between countries. However, a preliminary investigation (Pehrson, unpublished) indicated that Wisconsin feeding and management practices during the peripartal period may be closely associated with the high incidence rate. The primary objective of the present study was to further evaluate this hypothesis (Trial B). A secondary objective was to collect clinical data with regard to occurrence of DA in the same geographic area (Trial A).

Year: 1992

description: Digestive dysfunction or indigestion has been a subject of great interest for every bovine practitioner since dairy husbandry has gained momentum. In the dairy cow most attention has been drawn towards the rumen since the outcome of the digestive processes in the rumen for a great part determine the productivity of the cow. Recently nutritionists have investigated feeding methods aimed at avoiding ruminal degradation, in order to cope with the enormous demand for glucose and proteins in a dairy cow producing more than 40 liters of milk per day. Under those nutritional regimes the outcome of the microbial fermentation however remains of great importance. Even small disturbances in the microbial digestion can have an immense impact on the production, and may, when occurring in the second half of the lactation period, ruin the total performance in that lactation period. It is therefore important to recognise and classify any indigestion as early as possible. The same is true for digestive disturbances in replacement stock. These animals have to experience an undisturbed growth during their first two years of life. Only in that case they are able to respond to the present tremendous demands for production. After a short introduction into the classification of the digestive disturbances in the ruminating bovine, this lecture will concentrate on disorders of throughput namely dysfunction of the reticular groove reflex and functional stenosis of the reticulo-omasal orifice and of the pyloric sphincter.

description: It is nearly a century ago that JOHNE and FROTHINGAM identified Mycobacterium para tuberculosis as the causative agent of PARATUBERCULOSIS, commonly named JOHNE'S DISEASE, in RUMINANTS. This disease is still, (and even more and more in some parts of the world), responsible for considerable economic losses to the dairy and beef cattle industry, related to reduced milk production, diarrhoea, emaciation, decreased fertility, and mortality (1,2,3,4). The specificities of the epidemiology, the pathogeny and the diagnosis of this infection have made its control something difficult : e .g. the early contamination of the newborn calves, the late clinical expression of the disease in adult animals, the evolution of humoral and cellular indicators of the immune response in individually infected animals (5,6,7,8,9,10,11). Propositions of control programs have been presented some years ago and recently updated (5). According to their authors, they rely on one or both of the following strategies : vaccination and/or sanitary measures. The concept of vaccination has been developped by VALLEE and RINJARD (12,13) some 60 years ago. The following presentation wishes to expose the characteristics of a live 316F strain Mycobacterium paratuberculosis vaccine (***), and the results obtained in France (dept. des Cotes d 'Armor) when the use of this vaccine in newborn calves is associated with fecal culture in a large scale control program against PARATUBERCULOSIS in cattle.

description: The extent and persistence of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis environmental contamination on farms with a known history of Johne's disease is a commonly asked question by the agricultural community. Prospective buyers of farms following a dispersal sale often inquire about the possibility of newly acquired cattle becoming infected with M. paratuberculosis from the environment where Johne's cattle had previously been located. Thus, based on continuing inquiries from cattlemen, we developed a prospective research proposal to assess the extent of environmental contamination with M. paratuberculosis associated with known levels of infection in the herds as determined with whole herd fecal culture tests of adult cattle using a sensitive technique utilizing centrifugation1. Previous studies on the survival of M. paratuberculosis have been largely conducted under standardized laboratory conditions and not from samples taken from the immediate farm environment2,3,4. Those studies suggested that M. paratuberculosis is somewhat long lived in a variety of environmental conditions. Non-laboratory based studies have focused on the survival of M. paratuberculosis in slurry and no studies have focused on the extent of soil and environmental contamination on farms with Johne's disease. The frequency of occurrence of M. paratuberculosis in the environment of farms with known infection of cattle with M. paratuberculosis has not been reported. But, the survival of M. paratuberculosis in water, slurry, urine and other media has been published2,3,4,5. Previous authors often used laboratory-grown isolates then inoculated a variety of materials and monitored the recovery rate over time. Vishnewskii6 first reported that bovine urine markedly reduced the survival time of M. paratuberculosis to less than 10 days. The inhibitory effect of urine on tubercle bacteria growth has also been recognized for some time but the factor responsible for the inhibition has not been isolated7,8. Urine has a similar inhibitory effect on salmonella9.

description: We study dephasing by electron interactions in a small disordered quasi-one dimensional (1D) ring weakly coupled to leads. We use an influence functional for quantum Nyquist noise to describe the crossover for the dephasing time $\Tph (T)$ from diffusive or ergodic 1D ($ \Tph^{-1} \propto T^{2/3}, T^{1}$) to 0D behavior ($\Tph^{-1} \propto T^{2}$) as $T$ drops below the Thouless energy. The crossover to 0D, predicted earlier for 2D and 3D systems, has so far eluded experimental observation. The ring geometry holds promise of meeting this longstanding challenge, since the crossover manifests itself not only in the smooth part of the magnetoconductivity but also in the amplitude of Altshuler-Aronov-Spivak oscillations. This allows signatures of dephasing in the ring to be cleanly extracted by filtering out those of the leads.

description: Fetuses were obtained from 58 pregnant cows naturally infected with Mycobacterium paratuberculosis (as determined by fecal culture), but showing no clinical signs of Johne's disease. Fetal tissues (spleen, liver, kidney, ileum, mesenteric lymph node) were cultured for M. paratuberculosis. Only 5 of 58 fetuses were culture positive (8.6%). All 5 culture-positive fetuses were from asymptomatic cows shedding high numbers of organisms in the feces. Milk samples were collected aseptically from 77 cows naturally infected with M. paratuberculosis but showing no clinical signs. Of 77 samples, 9 (11.6%) were culture positive for M. paratuberculosis. Supramammary lymph nodes were culture positive form 22 of 81 cows (27%). Fetal infection and direct excretion of M. paratuberculosis in milk can occur in asymptomatic infected cows, but with lower frequency than cows with signs of Johne's disease.

description: In this paper, we report on the production of a Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC) of sodium using light--induced desorption as an atomic source. We load about 2X10^7 atoms in a MOT from this source with a ~6 s loading time constant. The MOT lifetime can be kept around 27 s by turning off the desorbing light after loading. We show that the pressure drops down by a factor of 40 in less than 100 ms after the extinction of the desorbing light, restoring the low background pressure for evaporation. Using this technique, a \na BEC with 10^4 atoms is produced after a 6 s evaporation in an optical dipole trap.

Research data management policy

description: Universities’ research service departments and university libraries have become increasingly engaged in developing and planning strategies and services for research data management. At the beginning of such processes, comprehensive information about what type of research data will be collected, used, or produced by faculty is often lacking. However, having a clear overview of the research data landscape at a university should be a prerequisite to developing research data services at an institutional level.

 Revealing the institution’s research data structure should be an integral part of the strategic planning process for research data management (RDM). We propose a two-stage model. First, by analyzing the research output in terms of scholarly journal articles over a one-year period, we reveal types, origin, and content of research data collected, produced, and used. Based on the results of this document analysis, semi-structured interviews are conducted with select faculty members in a second stage.

 These methods have helped us gain important insights into the university’s research data landscape. They have revealed researchers’ perceptions of research data management, as well as their needs. Resulting recommendations presented to university stakeholders included the development and implementation of an RDM policy, the establishment of a service to provide consultation and information on research data, accompanied by provision of related online information.
Independence at a Price: The relationship between nongovernment human service organisations and the polity in Texas and Tasmania
Creators: name: Alessandrini, Megan
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Modern society has traditionally been viewed as comprising of three sectors; government, market and civil society. The theoretical base of three pillars of government (or polity), commerce (or market) and civil society has historically been assumed to be a comprehensive structure of society. Many theorists have proposed different characteristics for the sectors but until recently none have proposed fundamental change to the structure. Debate over civil society has been a central element of political analysis for hundreds of years. Civil society has been variously theorised as subversive and detrimental to society at large, as the site of social action and as a category into which all human activity that is not market or government can be placed. In the late twentieth century civil society has been viewed as the site of social and community activity and more recently the activities of formal community organisations that have become increasingly involved in the delivery of human services.

description: Bovine salmonellosis is an important zoonotic infection1. Serious outbreaks of clinical disease may occur in cattle of all ages and result in devastating economic loss. The most important serotypes which cause disease in calves are Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella dublin. Both serotypes can cause fever, anorexia, depression, bacteremia, diarrhoea and death. Live and dead vaccines have been used to prevent salmonellosis in calves. It is generally believed that cell mediated immunity is necessary to provide longterm protection against salmonellosis. For this reason live attenuated strains have been used because these strains elicit a stronger cell mediated immunity than killed vaccines. Furthermore orally delivered vaccines cause a mucosal immunity, which is important for protection against enteric pathogens. A number of different types of live vaccines have been developed. Auxotrophic mutants are dependent on metabolites not, or insufficiently present in the vaccinated animal. Recently, a Salmonella typhimurium strain was described which is auxotrophic for histidine and adenine and which also shows a high sensitivity to tensides2. Furthermore Salmonella dublin strain was described which is auxotrophic for thiamine and adenine. These strains have been used for the development of Bovisalm TM (S. typhimurium) and Bovisalm D (S. dublin); lyophilized vaccines for oral immunization of young veal calves to prevent salmonellosis. In this report we present data to show that these strains are safe and effective in preventing salmonellosis in calves.

description: We consider a stochastic billiard in a random tube which stretches to infinity in the direction of the first coordinate. This random tube is stationary and ergodic, and also it is supposed to be in some sense well behaved. The stochastic billiard can be described as follows: when strictly inside the tube, the particle moves straight with constant speed. Upon hitting the boundary, it is reflected randomly, according to the cosine law: the density of the outgoing direction is proportional to the cosine of the angle between this direction and the normal vector. We also consider the discrete-time random walk formed by the particle's positions at the moments of hitting the boundary. Under the condition of existence of the second moment of the projected jump length with respect to the stationary measure for the environment seen from the particle, we prove the quenched invariance principles for the projected trajectories of the random walk and the stochastic billiard.

Year: 1992

description: Salmonella infections appear to be increasing in animals and humans at a time in history when many other infectious diseases are being satisfactorily controlled (I). There have been large and well publicized outbreaks of human salmonellosis (2-5), and an increase in the number of isolations reported from both animals (6) and humans (7). While there are over 2200 serotypes of Salmonella recognized, the good news is that 5 or 6 serotypes consistently cause most of the problem in cattle. These serotypes are S. typhimurium, ,S. dublin, S. newport, S. montevideo, and S. anatum. A recent survey employing serologic methods found that over 70% of dairies in California had evidence of Salmonella infection (8). In order to examine the prospects for control of Salmonella in cattle, one must try to understand why this high prevalence rate of Salmonella infection exists

description: We present a general methodology for determining the gamma-ray flux from annihilation of dark matter particles in Milky Way satellite galaxies, focusing on two promising satellites as examples: Segue 1 and Draco. We use the SuperBayeS code to explore the best-fitting regions of the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM) parameter space, and an independent MCMC analysis of the dark matter halo properties of the satellites using published radial velocities. We present a formalism for determining the boost from halo substructure in these galaxies and show that its value depends strongly on the extrapolation of the concentration-mass (c(M)) relation for CDM subhalos down to the minimum possible mass. We show that the preferred region for this minimum halo mass within the CMSSM with neutralino dark matter is ~10^-9-10^-6 solar masses. For the boost model where the observed power-law c(M) relation is extrapolated down to the minimum halo mass we find average boosts of about 20, while the Bullock et al (2001) c(M) model results in boosts of order unity. We estimate that for the power-law c(M) boost model and photon energies greater than a GeV, the Fermi space-telescope has about 20% chance of detecting a dark matter annihilation signal from Draco with signal-to-noise greater than 3 after about 5 years of observation.

Populations may exceed 1,000 flies per animal in some areas. Nationally, the loss due to this ectoparasite is estimated to be 730 million dollars per year (1). Heavy populations decrease weight gains 0.10 lbs per day and decrease feed conversion efficiency about 9% (2). Historically, the horn fly was controlled by various types of insecticide treatments applied as sprays or dips, or by self-treatment devices such as cable rubbers or dust bags. Insecticide-impregnated cattle ear tags rapidly became the treatment of choice in the 1980's because they provided efficient, economical and season-long control with one treatment. Unfortunately, ear tag treatment provided an ideal mechanism for development of insecticide resistance. Within a few years following the introduction of pyrethroid-impregnated ear tags, horn flies began to show widespread resistance to this entire class of insecticides (3). Hom fly control for the future should rely on strategies that minimize exposure of horn flies to a single class of insecticide, and particularly to the pyrethroids. Studies reported herein show the efficacy of topically applied ivermectin against the horn fly on pastured cattle. In addition, studies evaluating the persistence of topical ivermectin treatments on animals exposed to controlled environmental conditions are presented.

description: Antrodia cinnamomea, an edible and medicinal fungus with significant economic value and application prospects, is rich in terpenoids, benzenoids, lignans, polysaccharides, and benzoquinone, succinic and maleic derivatives. In this study, the transcriptome of A. cinnamomea cultured on the wood substrates of Cinnamomum glanduliferum (YZM), C. camphora (XZM), and C. kanehirae (NZM) was sequenced using the high-throughput sequencing technology Illumina HiSeq 2000, and the data were assembled by de novo strategy to obtain 78,729 Unigenes with an N50 of 4,463 bp. Compared with public databases, about 11,435, 6,947, and 5,994 Unigenes were annotated to the Non-Redundant (NR), Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG), respectively. The comprehensive analysis of the mycelium terpene biosynthesis-related genes in A. cinnamomea revealed that the expression of acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (AACT), acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA), mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase (MVD), and isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase (IDI) was significantly higher on NZM compared to the other two wood substrates. Similarly, the expression of geranylgeranyltransferase (GGT) was significantly higher on YZM compared to NZM and XZM, and the expression of farnesyl transferase (FTase) was significantly higher on XZM. Furthermore, the expressions of 2,3-oxidized squalene cyclase (OCS), squalene synthase (SQS), and squalene epoxidase (SE) were significantly higher on NZM. Overall, this study provides a potential approach to explore the molecular regulation mechanism of terpenoid biosynthesis in A. cinnamomea.
title: Woodland clearance in west-central Scotland during the past 3000 years

description: Pollen diagrams were produced from peat profiles taken from four raised bogs in west- central Scotland: Walls Hill Bog, Lochend Loch Bog, Lenzie Moss and Gartlea Bog. These sites have produced a detailed overview of the vegetation changes brought about by human impact in the area over the last three thousand years. This picture has been enhanced by peat stratigraphy diagrams, charcoal estimations and suites of accelerator radiocarbon dates from three of the four sites. Pollen influx data was also collected but not used in the final interpretations as it added little of value to the results from the relative pollen diagrams. The evidence is for low levels of woodland clearance in the Bronze Age followed by an increase to extensive clearance in the late pre-Roman Iron Age at Walls Hill Bog and Lochend Loch Bog. Lenzie Moss and Gartlea Bog show clearance to be slightly later, around the time of the Roman invasion and occupation. Clearance is maintained throughout the Roman period and for several centuries after the Roman withdrawal at all the sites, except for Walls Hill Bog. All the clearance activity seems to have been to produce pastoral rather than arable agricultural land. Throughout the Dark Ages agriculture declined and there was extensive woodland regeneration, first of Betula and then the other major tree taxa. Extensive clearance is next apparent between 800 - 1000 cal AD (perhaps slightly earlier at Gartlea Bog) with the cleared land again used for grazing. There is then a short period of woodland regeneration at all but one of the sites before the more extensive clearances of the Medieval and post-Medieval period are seen. These are again characterised by pastoral indicators although cereal cultivation may have become more important during this period. Evidence for modern tree planting is evident at some of the sites and all but Gartlea Bog show some truncation of the top of the peat profile.

description: There are many reports on the development of Babesia species in the host and the vector ticks [1,2 ,9 ,11,15]. However, no detailed observations on the developmental stages of Babesia ovata [12] in Haemaphysalis longicornis have been made yet. Babesia species are known to undergo morphological change during the growth in the host and the vector ticks. The present was carried out to study the growth of B. ovata in periphelal blood of host cattle, in the midgut, haemolymph and eggs of the tick, H. longicornis.

Islands on the Edge: Exploring Islandness and Development in Four Australian Case Studies

description: Residential and tourism developments affect places and people across the world ‚Äö- their sheer number, their scale and intensity, and their capacity to displace existing traditions, values and practices are especially problematic. In this work, I examine the particular impacts of such developments on islands, places where geography has created or otherwise influenced certain political, economic, environmental and social conditions. In broad terms, islands may include oceanic landforms and landforms on continental shelves. Some islands are extremely isolated from continental influences; others are subject to strong continental influences. The focus of this work is on islands near metropolitan centres which are readily accessible and thus subject to various development pressures1 that may threaten ecological, social and economic well-being. In an era where the basic principles of sustainable development are now given, and the intrinsic value of place is acknowledged, for those who live on, govern or care for islands, such pressures are often understood (however partially) in terms of sustainability and in relation to their effects on what is known as sense of place.
Fermi liquid theory of ultra-cold trapped Fermi gases: Implications for Pseudogap Physics and Other Strongly Correlated Phases

description: We show how Fermi liquid theory can be applied to ultra-cold Fermi gases, thereby expanding their "simulation" capabilities to a class of problems of interest to multiple physics sub-disciplines. We introduce procedures for measuring and calculating position dependent Landau parameters. This lays the ground work for addressing important controversial issues: (i) the suggestion that thermodynamically, the normal state of a unitary gas is indistinguishable from a Fermi liquid (ii) that a fermionic system with strong repulsive contact interactions is associated with either ferromagnetism or localization; this relates as well to $^3$He and its p-wave superfluidity.

description: Bovine babesiosis, a tick borne infectious haemoprotozoan disease of cattle, has been reported to be prevalent in Europe, Africa, South America and Asia including India1,2. The disease is of immense importance in tropical and subtropical countries including India, causing heavy mortality and morbidity in exotic and crossbred animals. A large number of babesicidal compounds have been used effectively for treatment of bovine babesiosis1. Copper glycinate has been extensively used for the effective treatment of post-parturient haemoglobinuria (PPH) as well as for the treatment of certain copier responsive primary or secondary copper deficiency conditions3,4. However, results of preliminary clinical observations revealed its efficacy against bovine babesiosis5. The haemoglobinuria in bovine babesiosis has been ascribed to increased intravascular destruction of red cells by the parasites with the release of free haemoglobin in urine6. It was reported that the degree of anaemia in clinical babesiosis was out of proportion to the degree of parasitaemia which could indicate that intravascular haemolysis was not only of parasitized red cells but also of some unparasitized red cells5. The present investigation was carried out to confirm the preliminary observations of the efficacy of copper glycinate against clinical bovine babesiosis and to elucidate the role of lipid peroxidation in the genesis of haemolysis in bovine babesiosis by measuring the levels of malondialdehyde in the red blood cells, plasma and urine of affected and healthy cattle. Malondialdehyde, being one of the product, is a sensitive indicator of the lipid peroxidation.

description: The HERMES collaboration has recently published a set of (correlated) beam charge, beam spin and target spin relative asymmetries for the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering process. This reaction allows in principle to access the Generalized Parton Distributions of the nucleon. We have fitted, in the QCD leading-order and leading-twist handbag approximation, but in a model independent way, this set of data and we report our results for the extracted Compton Form Factors. In particular, we are able to extract constrains on the $H$ GPD.
