Combined wavelet domain and motion compensated filtering compliant with video codecs [PDF]

, 2007
In this paper, we introduce the idea of using motion estimation resources from a video codec for video denoising. This is not straightforward because the motion estimators aimed for video compression and coding, tolerate errors in the estimated motion ...

Mature open cows are rarely persistently infected with bovine viral diarrhea virus [PDF]

, 2007
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDv) is an immunosuppressive virus affecting cattle in a multitude of ways. The varied presentation makes this disease difficult to identify in cow herds and the signs of a BVD infection may be very subtle.

Halide‐Dependent Photoluminescence and Heavy‐Atom Effects in Low‐Melting Organic–Inorganic Manganese Halides

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Two pyridinium‐based ionic liquid templated hybrid manganese halides, (C4Py)2[MnCl4] and (C4Py)2[MnBr4], display similar bulk structures but show significantly different photoluminescence behaviors due to the bromine heavy‐atom effect. Their stable local Mn environments remain intact even in the molten state, allowing applications such as luminescence ...

Zero Deforestation Commitments and Industry 4.0 Enabling Technologies: An Analysis of Their Role in Mitigating Deforestation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of corporate zero‐deforestation commitments (ZDCs) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) enabling technologies in mitigating deforestation. Drawing on data from 110 companies included in the Forest 500 dataset, the research explores whether sustainability commitments and digital innovation influence firms' deforestation ...

Demonstration of early functional compromise of bone marrow derived hematopoietic progenitor cells during bovine neonatal pancytopenia through in vitro culture of bone marrow biopsies [PDF]

, 2012
Background Bovine neonatal pancytopenia (BNP) is a syndrome characterised by thrombocytopenia associated with marked bone marrow destruction in calves, widely reported since 2007 in several European countries and since 2011 in New Zealand. The disease is

Mergers and Acquisitions and Brexit: A Natural Experiment

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the impact of Brexit uncertainty on one of the most important forms of corporate investment: mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Brexit provides us with an ideal natural experiment to explore the real effects of economic uncertainty and understand the underlying transmission mechanism. We document a significant decline in the number of M&

Pharmacological inhibition of hydroxysteroid 11‐beta dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐βHSD1) after myocardial infarction preserves cardiac function in a translational mini‐pig model

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Plasma glucocorticoids increase acutely after MI, thereafter tissue levels are amplified selectively within cells expressing 11‐ßhydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐ßHSD1) that regenerates active glucocorticoids from circulating metabolites.

Energetic stress in combination with impaired fatty acid oxidation induces sequestration of CoA and adaptation of CoA metabolism

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Computational modelling and in vitro liver cell experiments indicate that medium‐chain acyl‐CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency causes an accumulation of (especially medium‐chain) acyl‐CoAs at the cost of free CoA (CoASH). A substantial decrease in CoASH impairs flux through many pathways essential for energy homeostasis.

Farmer Attitudes and Livestock Disease: Exploring Citizenship Behaviour and Peer Monitoring across Two BVD Control Schemes in the UK.

PLoS ONE, 2016
The eradication of BVD in the UK is technically possible but appears to be socially untenable. The following study explored farmer attitudes to BVD control schemes in relation to advice networks and information sharing, shared aims and goals, motivation ...

Epidemiological investigation into abortion in farmed red deer in New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Veterinary Sciences at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
Reproductive performance in rising two-year-old (R2) and mixed-aged (MA) adult hinds is suboptimal in farmed red deer in New Zealand due to failure to conceive, fetal loss, and perinatal and postnatal mortality.
