Background Scientific studies suggests that transfer delays from the Emergency Department(ED) to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) increases mortality and morbidity. A modified Standardized Early Warning Scoring System called Basal Observations Score(BOS) is used in Region Sjælland to monitor vital signs of in-hospital patients. Respiratory rate, peripheral O2-saturation, systolic blood pressure, h...

Anterior forebrain (AF) neurons become selective for song as songbirds learn to produce a copy of a memorized tutor song. We report that development of selectivity is compromised when birds are prevented from matching their output to the tutor song. Finches with denervated vocal organs developed stable song, but it usually did not resemble the tutor song. In those birds, numerous neurons in Are...

Introduction Taurine (Bos taurus) and zebu (Bos indicus) cattle were domesticated independently in the Near East and in India respectively (Beja-Pereira et al., 2006) and are believed to have diverged 117-275,000 years ago (Bradley et al., 2006). Bos taurus cattle were introduced to Australia by European settlers in the end of the 18th century. The main B. indicus breed used for beef production...

Potential risk factors for Ureaplasma diversum in the vaginal mucus of 1,238 dairy cows were included in a multivariate logistic regression model, based on the cow level (i.e., granular vulvovaginitis [+GVV], yearly milk production [4500 kg or more], pregnancy, predominance of Bos taurus [+Bos Taurus], score of corporal condition [at least 2.5], concomitant positivity for Escherichia coli [+E.c...

This paper will demonstrate that a secure, user friendly platform can be implemented using on Browser Operating System Architecture. This platform protects host machine from various attack like phishing attack, drive by download attack, cross site scripting attack. The BOS architecture treats Web applications as first class objects that users explicitly install and manage, giving them explicit ...

In this study, the intent was to identify genetic polymorphisms of mitochondrial (mt) DNA in Korean cattle (Bos taurus coreana) and to analyze the genetic relationship between Korean cattle and other breeds. Whole mtDNA genomes (16,338 bp) of 26 animals (16 Korean cattle and 10 Holsteins) were directly sequenced. Multiple alignments, including 26 whole-mtDNA sequences obtained by direct sequenc...

In order to clarify the origin and genetic diversity of cattle in North Eastern Asia, this study examined mitochondrial displacement loop sequence variation and frequencies of Bos taurus and Bos indicus Y chromosome haplotypes in Japanese, Mongolian, and Korean native cattle. In mitochondrial analyses, 20% of Mongolian cattle carried B. indicus mitochondrial haplotypes, but Japanese and Korean ...

This paper discusses the use of formal methods in the development of the control system for the Maeslant Kering. The Maeslant Kering is the movable dam which has to protect Rotterdam from floodings while, at (almost) the same time, not restricting ship traffic to the port of Rotterdam. The control system, called Bos, completely autonomously decides about closing and opening of the barrier and, ...

The zebra finch acquires its song by first memorizing a model song from a tutor and then matching its own vocalizations to the memory trace of the tutor song, called a template. Neural mechanisms underlying this process require a link between the neural memory trace and the premotor song circuitry, which drives singing. We now report that a premotor song nucleus responds more to the tutor song ...

Background-oriented schlieren (BOS) is an optical visualization technique that reconstructs a whole-field flow based on its density gradient. Thanks to the cost-effectiveness of setup and unlimited field view, BOS has become attractive for laboratory large-scale experiments. In BOS, reconstruction refractive index involves various mathematical calculations, which depend geometry. this context, ...
