Paratuberculosis in cattle is a chronic granulomatous gastroenteritis caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratubercolosis (MAP) which endemic worldwide. In dairy herds, it responsible for huge economic losses. However, current diagnostic methods do not detect subclinical infection making control of the disease difficult. The identification MAP infected animals during sub-clinical phase would play key role preventing dissemination pathogen and reducing transmission. Gene expression...
Abstract Water buffalo is a globally important species for agriculture and local economies. A de novo assembled, well-annotated reference sequence the water an prerequisite studying biology of this species, necessary to manage genetic diversity use modern breeding genomic selection techniques. However, no such genome assembly has been previously reported. There are 2 domestic buffalo, river (2n = 50) swamp 48) buffalo. Here we describe draft quality created from Illumina GA Roche 454 short...
In the Traveling Salesman Problem with Drones (TSP-mD), a truck and multiple drones cooperate to serve customers in minimum amount of time. The are launched retrieved by at customer locations, each their flights must not consume more energy than allowed batteries. Most problem settings literature restrict feasible routes cycles, i.e., closed paths, which never visit node once. Revisiting node, however, may lower time required all customers. Additionally, we observe that optimal solutions for...
The features of a calf with split cord malformation are described. Clinically, there was severe cervicothoracic kyphoscoliosis and an interscapular dermal sinus associated cerebrospinal fluid drainage. Using magnetic resonance imaging, complete duplication the spinal at cervical intumescence detected. There syringohydromyelia, multiple vertebral malformations resulting in rachischisis, herniation cerebellar vermis, meningoencephalocele, calvarial defects.
To report clinical signs, diagnostic and surgical or necropsy findings, outcome in 2 calves with spinal epidural abscess (SEA).Clinical report.Calves (n=2).Calves had neurologic examination, analysis antimicrobial culture of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), vertebral column radiographs, myelography, 1 calf, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A definitive diagnosis SEA was confirmed by calf during surgery histologic examination canal tissue calf.Clinical signs were difficulty rising, ataxia, fever,...
Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are contiguous stretches homozygous genome which likely reflect transmission from common ances- tors and can be used to track the inheritance haplotypes interest. In present paper, ROH were extracted 50K SNPs detect regions associated with susceptibility diseases in a population 468 Holstein-Frisian cows. Diagnosed categorised as infectious diseases, metabolic syndromes, mastitis, reproductive locomotive disorders. mastitis disorders found on BTA 12. A long region...
We extend the classical problem setting of orienteering (OP) to incorporate multiple drones that cooperate with a truck visit subset input nodes. call this OP (OP-mD). Drones have limited battery endurance, and thus, they can either move together at no energy cost for or be launched by onto short flights must start end different customer locations. A drone serves exactly one per flight. Moreover, wait each other landing prize collected most once, upon visiting it serving drone. Similarly OP,...
We review Holst formalism and we discuss dynamical equivalence with standard GR (in dimension 4). is written for a spin coframe field $e^I_\mu$ $Spin(3,1)$-connection $\omega^{IJ}_\mu$ on spacetime $M$ it depends the parameter $\gamma\in \mathbb{R}-\{0\}$. show model dynamically equivalent to GR, in sense that up pointwise $Spin(3,1)$-gauge transformation acting frame indices, solutions of two models are one-to-one correspondence. Hence classically equivalent. One can also introduce new...
