Fluctuation-Enhanced Sensing of Bacterium Odors [PDF]

arXiv, 2009
The goal of this paper is to explore the possibility to detect and identify bacteria by sensing their odor via fluctuation-enhanced sensing with commercial Taguchi sensors. The fluctuations of the electrical resistance during exposure to different bacterial odors, Escherichia coli and anthrax-surrogate Bacillus subtilis, have been measured and analyzed.

Vulture Exclusion Halves Large Carcass Decomposition Rates and Doubles Fly Abundance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
We experimentally excluded vultures from pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) in Costa Rica, under different habitats and across seasons with the aim to assess the impact of vulture population decline on carrion decomposition and insect abundance. Vulture exclusion halved carcass decomposition rates and doubled fly abundance, while dung beetle abundance remained

Bayesian Biosurveillance of Disease Outbreaks [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
Early, reliable detection of disease outbreaks is a critical problem today. This paper reports an investigation of the use of causal Bayesian networks to model spatio-temporal patterns of a non-contagious disease (respiratory anthrax infection) in a population of people.

Antibodies and Inflammation: Fecal Biomarkers of Gut Health in Domestic Ruminants

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 343, Issue 4, Page 468-479, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal infections present major challenges to ruminant livestock systems, and gut health is a key constraint on fitness, welfare, and productivity. Fecal biomarkers present opportunities to monitor animal health without using invasive methods, and with greater resolution compared to observational metrics.

Comparing Feed Intake, Digestibility, Growth and Economic Gain of Horro and Washera Sheep Breeds Fed Wheat Straw Basal Diet Supplemented With Effective Microorganisms Treated Wheat Straw and Concentrate Mixture

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
After 100 daysof feeding, this study showed that effective microorganism‐treated wheat strawfeeding at 15% TDMI (A2) vs. 10% TDMI (A1) improved body weight gain andresulted in 279 more net returns over A1‐fed sheep. The findings also revealedthat Washera sheepgained higher body weight and economic gain than Horro sheep.
