Inorganic Phosphorus Availability And Mobility In A Manufactured Soil, H Kate Schofield, Alan D Tappin, Tim R Pettitt, Gavyn K Rollinson, Mark F Fitzsimons

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Manufactured soils, created by combining various organic and inorganic waste materials and byproducts, may be tailored to specific applications, providing an alternative to the extraction of natural soils. It is important for them to be capable of supporting plant growth without the need for significant management or fertiliser applications, the over-application of which can have adverse environmental effects. We examined the dynamics of phosphorus (P) transformations within a manufactured soil and the implications for nutrient cycling. A freshly prepared manufactured soil (32.5 % composted green waste, 32.5 % composted bark, 25 % horticultural grit, and 10 % lignite clay) was …

Optimising Grid-Forming Inverters To Prevent Under-Frequency Load Shedding With Minimal Energy Storage, Indoopa Manamperi, Iftekhar Ahmad, Daryoush Habibi, Asma Aziz

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

The increasing penetration of distributed photovoltaics decreases the available loads in distribution feeders. This makes the traditional under-frequency load shedding systems ineffective. As an alternative, large-scale energy storage systems (ESS) could be used to provide contingency frequency response. This study investigates the optimum sizing of the ESS to prevent under-frequency load shedding. The optimal size is determined for both droop and virtual synchronous generator control-based inverters, to maintain frequency within operating standards. The control parameters are treated as variables in the optimisation process, allowing the identification of the optimal set of control parameters that minimise the ESS size while preventing …

Sick Mode Selection For Audio Control, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

During the online meeting, sometimes we cough or sneeze suddenly, and the sound will be transmitted to the online meeting through the microphone. To avoid having disruptive coughing sounds, throat clearing noises, and sneeze noise during online meetings, we would like to have a function to eliminate coughing sounds. We hope this function can directly remove the coughing noise from online meetings, allowing all participants to speak smoothly and listen clearly to each other's content.

Long-Term Clinical Outcome Of Corneal Endothelial Degeneration Managed With Keratoleptynsis In A Chihuahua Dog, Manbok Jeong

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A 9-year-old spayed female Chihuahua presented with a 2-month history of progressive corneal edema in the left eye. Slit lamp biomicroscopy showed moderate corneal edema, instability of the axial corneal epithelial surface, and an anterior cortical opacity of the lens. Based on these results, a diagnosis of canine endothelial degeneration was made with the incidental finding of an incipient cataract in the left eye. Keratoleptynsis successfully managed the corneal edema for 28 months after surgery without corneal ulceration. This case study underscores the need for an early surgical approach using keratoleptynsis for dogs with a progressive nature of canine endothelial …

An Undetermined Osteoporotic Disease Managed With Im Rod In A Dog, Hyejong Oh, Byoungho An, Dongwook Kim, Heesoo Ahn, Dongwoo Chang, Gonhyung Kim

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disorder characterized by decreased bone density, which can weaken bone strength and increase the risk of fractures. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), one of the main causes of osteoporosis in children, results in fragile bones and multiple fractures. The present study documented the case of a dog with an undetermined osteoporotic disease managed with intramedullary rod fixation. A 3-month-old intact male Alaskan Malamute dog, weighing 11.6 kg, was presented with lameness in the left pelvic limb. Radiography revealed left pelvic and femoral fractures, and the cortex of the long bones was thin. On CT scanning, a significant …

Synchronous Tri-Cavitary Biphasic Malignant Mesothelioma In A Dog Presenting With Dyspnea, Nawarus Prapaiwan, Tawewan Issarankura Na Ayudhaya, Poonavit Pichayapaiboon, Onrampha Tanglakmankhong

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Malignant mesothelioma is an uncommon tumor that has a challenging diagnosis and a tendency for late diagnosis. A 7-year-old intact male dog presented with respiratory distress. Thoracic radiography revealed pleural effusion and bone reactions at multiple ribs. A computerized tomography scan with rib biopsy was suggested as a diagnosis plan. Unfortunately, the dog died. Gross pathological findings demonstrated multifocal to coalescing, pinkish-white firm masses scattered over the parietal pleural surface, extended to the serosa of the diaphragm and the pericardium, making them adhere to each other and causing the coalescence of a white irregular mass at the diaphragm. Multiple white …

Long-Term Tapering Regimen Use Of Oclacitinib For The Control Of Pruritus In An Atopic Dog, Piyarat Chansiripornchai

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Abstract

Canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) is a genetically predisposed inflammatory skin disease with a global distribution, yet it is incurable. A key clinical sign of CAD is pruritus. Oclacitinib has proven effective in managing pruritus in atopic dogs. This case report details the long-term administration of oclacitinib every other day for controlling pruritus in an atopic dog. An 8-year-old atopic Bangkaew dog presented with pruritus, alopecia, and recurrent Malassezia pachydermatis infection. To control the pruritus, the dog received oclacitinib at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg orally every 24 hours for 30 weeks. The pruritus visual analog scale (PVAS) decreased from …

Fatal Disseminated Toxoplasmosis In Captive Red Kangaroo (Macropus Rufus) And Parma Wallaby (Macropus Parma): Pathological And Immunohistochemical Investigations, Sawang Kesdangsakonwut

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Abstract

Toxoplasmosis is a protozoan zoonosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii. Marsupials are considered a susceptible intermediate host. T. gondii is mainly transmitted to intermediate hosts via the fecal-oral route. A captive red kangaroo was diagnosed with disseminated toxoplasmosis based on clinicopathological and immunohistochemical (IHC) investigations. Two years later, a five-year-old Parma wallaby was kept in the same area as the red kangaroo and showed clinical signs of depression, withdrawal from the troop, and weakness. The wallaby died within two days after showing the clinical signs. Pathological findings in this wallaby were compatible with disseminated toxoplasmosis. Tachyzoites and tissue cysts …

Assessing The Recreational Charter Fishing Market In Florida: A Hedonic Price Analysis, Mehrnoosh Asadi, Pallab Mozumder, Mahadev G. Bhat

Journal of Ocean and Coastal Economics

In this study we analyze the effect of a wide range of factors on the variation of recreational fishing trip prices in Florida. We collected extensive data from recreational fishing websites maintained by guides and outfitters and used different empirical methods for quantifying the relationship between trip price and various trip characteristics. The Hedonic Price model was used to estimate the implicit prices of freshwater and saltwater fishing trip characteristics. The results suggest that freshwater and saltwater anglers significantly value the lodging feature included in the fishing trip package. Moreover, saltwater anglers had a higher willingness to pay to catch …
