Numerical Model for Cavitational Flow in Hydraulic Poppet Valves by Sandor I. Bernad, Romeo Susan-Resiga

“…It is found that if one defines the cavity radius such that up to this radius the pressure is no larger than the vaporization pressure, then both liquid and cavitating flow models predict the cavity extent. The current effort is based on the application of the recently developed full cavitation model that utilizes the modified Rayleigh-Plesset equations for bubble dynamics.…”

Surveillance of Mycoplasma agassizii in Texas tortoises (Gopherus berlandieri) for translocation with emphasis on treatment and recovery by Christin A. Moeller, Saren Perales, Wraith Rodriguez, Alynn M. Martin, Cord B. Eversole, Sandra Rideout-Hanzak, Paul Crump, Clayton D. Hilton, Scott E. Henke

“…Translocation is often suggested as a mitigation option; however, disease status and the potential for spread must be considered prior to such efforts. Mycoplasma infection of the upper respiratory tract is a concern within tortoise populations, which requires monitoring so translocation efforts do not inadvertently spread the disease.ObjectivesWe determined and compared the prevalences of Mycoplasma agassizii in Texas tortoises from donor and recipient sites in southern Texas prior to translocation, treated Mycoplasma agassizii-infected tortoises with danofloxacin, and developed alternate Mycoplasma agassizii treatments for Texas tortoises.MethodsWe collected 171 and 23 Texas tortoises from a 270-ha and a 100-ha donor site and recipient site, respectively. …”
