The Effects of Land-use Change on Brucellosis Transmission in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem: A Three Species Mathematical-Epidemiological Model [PDF]
This paper models brucellosis transmission between elk, cattle, and bison, of high conservation value, in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). It aims to show how landscape changes in the GYE concomitantly impact brucellosis prevalence in the three species.

Different forms of the bovine PrP gene have five or six copies of a short, G-C-rich element within the protein-coding exon [PDF]
Current models of the virus-like agents of scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) have to take into account that structural changes in a host-encoded protein (PrP protein) exhibit an effect on the time course of these diseases and the ...

Visual Identification of Individual Holstein-Friesian Cattle via Deep Metric Learning [PDF]
Holstein-Friesian cattle exhibit individually-characteristic black and white coat patterns visually akin to those arising from Turing's reaction-diffusion systems. This work takes advantage of these natural markings in order to automate visual detection and biometric identification of individual Holstein-Friesians via convolutional neural networks and ...
