EVALUATION OF THE NASOPHARYNGEAL MICROBIOTA IN BEEF CATTLE TRANSPORTED TO A FEEDLOT, WITH A FOCUS ON LACTIC ACID-PRODUCING BACTERIA

Evaluation of the Nasopharyngeal Microbiota in Beef Cattle Transported to a Feedlot, With a Focus on Lactic Acid-Producing Bacteria

The nasopharyngeal (NP) microbiota is important in defining respiratory health in feedlot cattle, with certain NP commensals potentially protecting against bovine respiratory disease (BRD) pathogens.In the present study, we evaluated longitudinal changes in the NP microbiota with a focus on lactic acid-producing bacteria (LAB) and their linkage wit

Catering for different learning styles

The use of computers for teaching and training has long been a controversial issue.Up to the 1980s, many educators who were keen to use computers to pass on knowledge developed various computer-based teaching and training materials, but most of these materials were capable only of delivering information in green microsuede fabric text with perhaps

Topological rejection of noise by quantum skyrmions

Abstract An open challenge in the context of quantum information processing and communication is improving the robustness of quantum information to environmental contributions of noise, a severe hindrance in real-world scenarios.Here, we show that quantum skyrmions and their nonlocal akaada shoes topological observables remain resilient to noise ev
