RETRACTED ARTICLE: Coastal atmospheric climate and artificial intelligence English translation based on remote sensing images

In the twenty-first century, in the form of intelligent digitization, the rise of artificial intelligence, as well as the birth of black technology, have made good products convenient for our lives. For example, Sogou is a translation software used in translation treasure or travel portable pen. The emergence of artificial intelligence translation software gradually into the public vision, to more and more people to bring convenience in life, we think that artificial intelligence translation software can replace the traditional meaning of simultaneous translation, for people is more liberation. But the author thinks that the birth of artificial intelligence translation software should be more about the topic of learning methods. The aerosol optical thickness index of Kuihua-8 satellite is used to reflect the air freshness of satellite remote sensing, and a province is taken as an example to judge the seasonal environmental changes. The results show that the AOD values of coastal cities in the four seasons are higher than those in the western regions. The AOD numbers in autumn and winter of the whole province are low, and the AOD values in four quarters are different from those of neighboring provinces. The tree coverage rate of the land in the province is high, and the temperature changes steadily in four seasons. After the research of AOD, NDVI, and RSAI, the air freshness of the province is good, the pollution is small, the vegetation coverage is high, and the air freshness of satellite remote sensing is better, which has great improvement on the development of tourism industry and people’s own health.

Design of photoluminescence point-of-care membrane strip for the detection of dopamine

We demonstrate the design of point-of-care photoluminescence membrane strip (PoCPMS) by coating the carbon nano dots (CNDs) on polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane for the detection of dopamine (DA). The photoluminescence (PL) of PoCPMS is quenched by treating with Fe2+ solution which is again recovered by adding the dopamine (DA). Thus, providing novel membrane route for the detection of both DA and Fe2+ on single flat form in the presence of UV light (portable pen UV torch). Furthermore, we have demonstrated the PL quenching and recovery phenomenon in aqueous phase.

Frequently asked questions about dabbing concentrates in online cannabis community discussion forums

Background“Dabbing” involves vaporizing a “dab” of cannabis concentrate on a heated “nail,” passing the vapour through a water-pipe rig or portable pen device, and inhaling the vapour. While some cannabis industry media claims that this process is cleaner, safer, and more effective for getting high, medical and public health sources raise concerns about residual solvents and pesticides, unexpectedly intense effects, and rapid increases in tolerance. The aim of this study is to characterize the content of questions about dabbing posed in cannabis and dabbing-specific forums on the Reddit social media platform, as well as comment responses to these questions. MethodsWe conducted a content analysis of one year (2017) of information-seeking user-generated posts to three Reddit online cannabis community discussion forums (“subreddits”) that contained the terms “dab” and “question.” We also examined post engagement and the types and sentiment of information exchanged in the comment responses. ResultsAcross 193 dabbing question posts, the most frequently asked question content was about types and logistical use of devices and related equipment (38%) and comparisons of cannabis products (32%), followed by questions about the step-by-step process of getting high (18%), legal issues (17%), and health concerns (13%). Nearly every post had a response (98%), with a median 5 comments per post and few negative (i.e. hostile, condescending, or trolling) comments (4%). Source of advice or information was stated in about a quarter (26%) of comment responses, with the overwhelming majority of this information (89%) coming from disclosures of personal experience vs. web or commercial sources. ConclusionPeople seeking advice online about dabbing inquired most often about logistics of use, but less often about health, tolerance, and legal risks. These findings may be used to inform public health efforts and health practitioner education as cannabis becomes increasingly legal and accessible.

Retention of the structure underlying sentences

The present study investigated memory retention of the structural aspects of sentences. Participants studied five sets of eight syntactically identical but nonsensical strings of words (e.g., ‘BEAUTIFUL TRANSPORTATION SHEDS TEMPORARY PLANTS’ and ‘HARSH CLOTHING REQUIRES PORTABLE PENS’). Participants were subsequently presented with a recognition test containing studied strings, non-studied strings that adhered to the same syntactical structure as a studied set of strings (critical lures), and non-studied strings that adhered to a non-studied syntactical structure (new lures). Participants’ recognition confidence ratings were higher for critical than for new lures, but only when the word strings used in the experiment adhered to a legal grammatical structure (e.g., ‘BEAUTIFUL TRANSPORTATION SHEDS TEMPORARY PLANTS’). No such confidence ratings effect was found between critical and new lures that corresponded to ungrammatical sets (e.g., ‘SOUR A KICK CLEAN BALLOON HARD’ and ‘FLIMSY AT THROW HANG TREE CHEAP’).

Anthelmintic Activities of Cambendazole in Calves: Effect on Nematode Morphogenesis from Ova to the Infective Larval Stage

Ten calves with natural gastrointestinal nematode parasitisms were used in an evaluation of the effects of cambendazole on nematode morphogenesis from ova to the infective larval stage. Five calves (Group I) were used as nonmedicated controls and 5 others (Group II) were given cambendazole orally at 25 mg/kg. Nematode eggs per gram of host feces (EPG) were recorded at 48 hr before treatment, at the time of treatment, and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hr after treatment (HAT). Fecal cultures were prepared at these same times and infective larvae per gram of feces (LPG) were enumerated 8 to 10 days later. LPG reductions in the Group II medicated calves were highly significantly different (P < 0.01) from the controls as early as 4 HAT and these reductions were nearly complete by 16 HAT. EPG reductions in the medicated calves were highly significantly different (P < 0.01) from the controls at 24 HAT and thereafter. The distribution of infective larvae identified from the control calves during the trial and from the treated calves until 2 HAT included 4% Haemonchus, 37% Ostertagia, 18% Trichostrongylus, 21% Cooperia, 3% Bunostomum, and 17% Oesophagostomum. Anthelmintic activities of cambendazole [isopropyl N (2-4 thiazolyl benzimidazole 5 yl) carbamate, Merck & Co., Rahway, N. J.] were first indicated by Hoff et al. (1970). The effectiveness and spectrum of the drug when given to calves was described in subsequent reports (Baker and Walters, 1971; Benz, 1971a, b; Ciordia and McCampbell, 1971; Egerton et al., 1970). Effects of a chemically similar compound, thiabendazole, on ova and development of larvae were reviewed and studied by Egerton (1969). Cambendazole was administered in this project to calves suffering from natural nematode gastrointestinal parasitisms to evaluate the effects of the drug on nematode development from ova to the infective larval stage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten calves of mixed Hereford and Angus breeds and approximately 6 to 8 months of age were used in this experiment. They were in satisfactory health and were passing numerous nematode ova in their feces when purchased. Received for publication 6 June 1972. *Publication No. 1110, School of Veterinary Medicine, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama. Supported in part by a grant-in-aid from Merck Sharp & Dohme Research Laboratories, Rahway, New Jersey 07065. A ration of Coastal Bermuda hay and water was provided ad lib. throughout the trial. Each calf was placed in a separate portable pen 4 days before treatments were administered and confined there until the procedures were completed 11 days later. The pens were 4 to 5 m2 in area and were equipped with wooden slatted floors. Running water was used to clean the pens daily. The calves were randomly assigned either to the nonmedicated control group (I) or to the group (II) treated orally with cambendazole at 25 mg/kg in a previously described manner (Benz, 1971a). Three calves from each group were started in the trial sequence on the same day and the other 2 calves in each group were started a week later. A fecal sample was collected from the rectum of each calf at 7 AM 2 days (-48 hr) before treatments were administered. Samples were also collected at the time of treatment (0 hr), and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 HAT. The EPG from each sample was estimated by using the modified McMaster technique (Whitlock, 1948). A fecal culture was also prepared from each sample by mixing 30 g of feces with 7 g of vermiculite in a waxed paper cup (7.8 g). Water was added to bring the total weight to 65 g. A plastic lid was placed on the cup and the culture was incubated at 25 C for 8 to 10 days. Each culture was weighed daily and water was added as necessary to maintain a constant weight. Infective larvae were collected from each culture by using the Baermann technique (Todd et al., 1970). Collections were made by draining all the water from each funnel and adjusting the total

The Life History of Cooperia oncophora (Railliet, 1898) Ransom, 1907, a Nematode Parasite of Cattle

A pure strain of C. oncophora was established by injecting mature worms into the duodenum of a laparotomized, parasite-free calf. Eggs cultured at room temperature (26 to 30 C, 79 to 86 F) hatched within 16.5 hr and reached the first molt 28 hr after hatching. Infective third-stage larvae were observed 124 hr after hatching. Larvae completed the third ecdysis approximately 4 days after being fed to a calf. The final molt occurred 10 days postinfection, and eggs were present in the uteri of females 15 days after infection. The prepatent period ranged from 17 to 22 days. In the United States four species of the genus Cooperia are considered of primary importance in the aggregate parasitism of domestic ruminants. Only C. curticei, primarily a parasite of sheep, and C. punctata, a parasite of cattle, studied by Andrews (1939) and Stewart (1954), respectively, have had their life histories described adequately. The remaining two species, C. oncophora and C. pectinata, both principally parasites of cattle, have had insufficient study; therefore, a study was made of the life cycle of C. oncophora, comparing some aspects of the development of this nematode with C. punctata and C. curticei in similar stages of development. MATERIALS AND METHODS Day-old calves, obtained from local dairies, were raised in portable pens as described by Davis, Bowman, and Porter (1952). Infections were carried out in concrete-floored stalls that were swept and hosed with water daily. Pure cultures of C. oncophora were established in the following manner: Upon necropsy of a calf harboring a mixed helminth infection, gravid female C. oncophora together with some mature males were isolated from the intestinal contents and placed in 0.85% physiological saline. After administration of a general anesthetic, a laparotomy was performed on a parasite-free calf that had been deprived of food for 24 hr. The adult C. oncophora worms were thereupon injected into the duodenum of the calf. The injection was made with a 50-cc syringe equipped with a 16-gauge needle. Larvae were cultured from the feces of this animal in sphagnum moss (Cauthen, 1940) and collected, with the use of a Baermann apparatus, for study and for experimental inoculations. Eggs were recovered from feces by a modification of Stoll's method (Stoll, 1930, 1936). Larvae studied in their preparasitic stages were collected from cultures developing at room temperature (26 to 30 C, 79 to 86 F). Parasitic larvae were recovered from nine experimentally infected calves that were necropsied at varying intervals after infection (Table III). Measurements were made of worms that had been heat-killed and preserved in a 10% formalinRinger's solution. Drawings were made with the aid of a microprojector after Davis and Bowman (1954). In order to determine the endogenous distribution of this species, the intestines of two necropsied calves were ligated every 6 feet and the number of worms from each washed and scraped section was counted. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Egg: The eggs of C. oncophora tend to be larger and somewhat more rounded than the eggs of C. pectinata, C. punctata, and C. curticei (Fig. E). The average length and width of 101 eggs were 84.3 (SD 4.7) and 42.4 a (sD 2.5), respectively. The mean form index (width divided by length, multiplied by 100) Received for publication 23 October 1962. * From a thesis submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology, Auburn University.

The Effects of Various Constant Temperatures on the Development of the Free Living-Stages of Some Nematode Parasites of Cattle

The eggs and larvae of Cooperia punctata, C. oncophora, Ostertagia ostertagi, Trichostrongylus axei, and T. colubriformis displayed a similar rate of development in fecal cultures at various constant temperatures. In general, the rate of development for the five species accelerated as the temperature increased. There was an appreciable variability in the rate of embryonic and larval development in any one culture. The optimal temperature, based on the rate of development and percentage of eggs developing into infective larvae, was 25 C. No development beyond the gastrula stage occurred below 6 C. Above 32 C, development was faster than at lower temperatures, but mortality rate of the preinfective stages was very high. Various ecologic factors regulate the bionomics of the free-living stages of nematodes (Wallace, 1961). Of these factors, the temperature of the microenvironment has the greatest effect on rate of embryonation and development of the larvae of nematodes parasitic in cattle. Information on the effects of temperature on development has dealt primarily with Haemonchus contortus (Berberian and Mizelle, 1957; Silverman and Campbell, 1959). Data are also available on Ostertagia ostertagi (Rose, 1961) and Trichostrongylus spp. (Dinaburg, 1945; Silverman and Campbell, 1959). Results of investigations with other species of parasitic nematodes not covered in this work have also been reported, but most of them had primary interests other than the effects of temperature. The study reported here deals with the effects of various constant temperatures on the development of the free-living stages of Cooperia punctata, Cooperia oncophora, Ostertagia ostertagi, Trichostrongylus axei, and Trichostrongylus colubriformis. Some of these data have been presented in an abstract (Ciordia and Bizzell, 1960). MATERIALS AND METHODS To minimize the variables which characterize fecal cultures, each series of experiments was conducted with freshly voided feces from one calf. At least ten series of experiments were conducted at each of the temperatures studied. Each experiment consisted of from 3 to 18 replicate cultures at each of the temperatures, depending on the amount of feces available at that time. Feces were obtained from dairy calves with experimental monospecific infections of C. punctata, C. oncophora, O. ostertagi, T. axei, and T. colubriformis. Feces were also obtained from calves harboring mixed infections of these nematode species. The calves were kept in separate portable pens on a concrete floor, which was washed thoroughly daily. They were maintained on a ration of alfalfa hay ad lib. and 1 lb of grain/day. Freshly voided feces were thoroughly mixed, whereupon 10-g samples were taken out for routine nematode egg counts. When necessary, enough water was added to the feces to standardize the consistency to approximate that of normal feces (60 to 70% moisture). Feces for each series of experiments were divided into 100-g samples which were placed in 8 oz waxed paper cups (Lily-Tulip Cup Corp., No. 8S) and covered with snap-over lids (No. 16S-16) before being placed in constant temperature cabinets (low temperature incubators, mechanical convection, range 5 to 50 C, accuracy of ?1.0 C). Temperatures used were: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 32, 35, and 40 C. In addition, some cultures were incubated at 6 and 8 C to determine the lowest temperature at which larvae would develop. Cultures were kept moist by the periodic addition of water. This was necessary even though Received for publication 23 July 1962. * In cooperation with the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station.

Open Shed and Portable Pens versus Conventional Housing for Young Dairy Calves

Summary One hundred and twenty-two female calves raised from three days of age to 16 wk., either in conventional barns, in open sheds, or in portable pens showed no advantage of one type of housing over another in growth of the calves. Exercise in a dry lot from 8 to 16 wk. was of no apparent value as compared to confinement in individual pens. Terramycin-fed calves exhibited significantly greater body weight gains (P

Outdoor Individual Portable Pens Compared with Conventional Housing for Raising Dairy Calves

Summary Thirty-two new-born calves were divided equally and placed in individual outdoor portable pens or in a barn and exercise lot during a test covering 2 years. During the second year, half of the calves in each system of management were given inoculations with rumen fluid. The pen calves were placed on a site which was clean the first year and slightly contaminated by older animals the second year. Despite temperatures as low as 9° F., the calves in the portable pens made significantly greater weight gains both years and had fewer coccidia and worm parasites and less diarrhea than the barn calves. All calves in the barn had respiratory troubles, but only one calf in the pens had this trouble. One barn calf died from pneumonia following an attack by E. zurnii, a pathogenic coccidian. The growth response of calves that were fed rumen fluid did not differ significantly from that of uninoculated calves. When placed together on pasture at the age of 5 or 6 months, the portable pen calves showed no more susceptibility to coccidia and worm parasites than the calves from the barn and continued to maintain their superior weights.
