Understanding Pregnancy Diagnosis in Beef Cattle by G. Cliff Lamb, Darren D. Henry, Vitor R. G. Mercadante, Doug E. Mayo

“… Because 55 to 70 percent of the input costs associated with a beef cattle operation are related to nutrition, culling open (non-pregnant) cows after the breeding season can save as much as $200 per head that can be diverted to the purchase or development of replacement females, sire selection, increased nutritional management, and other management-related costs. …”

DATA⁃DRIVEN RELIABILITY ANALYSIS MODEL OF QINGHAI⁃TIBET RAILWAY IN PERMAFROST ZONE by WANG JinBo, TANG JiaYin, LIU XinLing, WU Yi

“…To ensure the safety of train operation in the plateau permafrost region of the Golmud⁃Lhasa section of the Qinghai Tibet Railway Phase II project,based on the original time series elevation data of railway subgrade in permafrost region,the product season model under various subgrade types is established to fit the uneven settlement degradation trajectory of subgrade and effectively predicted elevation values with confidence intervals.The differential operation was used to analyze the subgrade settlement degradation values.The failure time extrapolation method was used to complete the reliability evaluation,and the settlement threshold was set based on driving safety.The simulation results show that it can accurately forecast permafrost thawing degradation,and the research findings can be used by the logistics support department to conduct daily subgrade maintenance.…”

Mobilité et archéologie le long de l’arc oriental du Niger : pavements et percuteurs by Anne Haour

“…This analysis of the role of migration in West Africa begins by recalling the prevalence of oral traditions about so-called 'first-comers', and takes the example of dry season migrations in the Hausa area (cin rani). To what extent do such ideas worked out in relation to contemporary events help us interpret archeological findings, in particular by taking into account the idea of the “space of experience” that tries to reconstitute the social context of human activities? …”
