In rats, sucking milk reduces anxiety and promotes non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, and in calves it induces resting but the effect on sleep is unknown. Here, we investigated how calves’ sleep was affected by colostrum feeding methods. Forty-one calves were blocked by birth date and randomly allotted within blocks to the experimental treatments. Calves were housed for four days either with ...

This paper describes a placement technique for the layout of les across the surface of a multi zone magnetic disk drive to maximize its bandwidth It argues for a le system that monitors the frequency of access to the les and modi es the placement of les in order to respond to an evolving pattern of le accesses Such a le system is particularly useful for repositories whose primary functionality ...

When udders were washed before milking, a post milking teat-dipping with a 5,000 mg available iodine/l iodophor induced an iodine residue of 33 to 54 micrograms l/kg in milk. The iodine contents of the first jets of milk were 1.08 to 8.27 times higher than those of average milk. However, the bulk of iodine residues in milk seemed to be an iodine transfer across teat skin to milk. From these dat...

The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) is a curated database that offers ribosome-related data, analysis services and associated computer programs. The offerings include phylogenetically ordered alignments of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences, derived phylogenetic trees, rRNA secondary structure diagrams and various software for handling, analyzing and displaying alignments and trees. The data are a...

Progress in sensor technique and electronics has led to a decrease in the costs of electronic and sensor components. In modern dairy farms, having udders in good condition, a lower frequency of udder disease and an extended service life of dairy cows will help ensure competitiveness. The objective of this study was to develop a teat-end vacuum control system with individual quarter actor reacti...

Demineralised dentine a pH-cycling model were mimic oral environment. Remineralising MI Varn...

The parallelized FTP (P-FTP) approach, attempts to solve the problem of slow downloads of large multimedia files while optimizing the utilization of mirror servers. The approach presented in this paper downloads a single file from multiple mirror servers simultaneously, where each mirror server transfers a portion of the file. The P-FTP server calculates the optimum division of the file for eff...

On modern dairy farms, environmental mastitis pathogens are usually the predominant cause of mastitis, and bedding often serves as a point of exposure to these organisms. The objective of this longitudinal study was to determine bacterial populations of 4 different bedding types [deep-bedded new sand (NES), deep-bedded recycled sand (RS), deep-bedded manure solids (DBMS), and shallow-bedded man...

Introduction In Ireland, cows are generally milked with milking machines with 3.2kg clusters, with wide-bore tapered liners (31.6mm – 20.6mm) and 4x0 pulsation (WB). Outside of Ireland, most milking machines have 1.65kg clusters, narrow-bore liners (25.0mm – 20.0mm) and 2x2 pulsation (NB). O’Callaghan (2001) showed that the mouthpiece cavity vacuum was higher with wide-bore tapered liners than ...
