Abstract
The LaTiO3 perovskite (where Ti is in a d1 state) is investigated by using an all electron Gaussian basis and many functionals, ranging from pure GGA (PBE), to hybrids (full range, B3LYP and PBE0, and range separated, HSE06) to Hartree Fock. Recently, Varignon et al. (Phys. Rev. Res 1, 033131, 2019), showed that, when GGA+U or HSE06 are used, a metallic solution and fractional occupancy of the t2 g subshell are obtained. Here, it is shown that when a full range hybrid functional is used, an integer occupancy is obtained, as suggested by the Jahn-Teller theorem. When the exact exchange percentage varies from 0 to 100, the system is insulating when it exceeds 20. By reducing progressively the symmetry from cubic down to orthorhombic, the relative importance of the Jahn-Teller deformation and of the rotation of the octahedra is explored.

Abstract
Through this contribution, we aim to highlight the structural stability of low dimensional YN structures ranging from the 3D bulk to the 2D square and hexagonal monolayers and their corresponding 1D zigzag single walled nanotubes. For all arrangements, geometry optimization is achieved at the DFT/B3LYP level of theory using a Gaussian basis set. Then, the coupled perturbed Kohn-Sham and Hartree-Fock (CPKS/HF) computational approach is used to simulate Raman and IR spectrum. Rolling, cohesive and relaxation energies, electronic and vibrational contributions to the polarizability and equilibrium lattice parameters are also reported. Insights into their structural stability are provided by combining optimized parameters and vibrational phonon spectra. For the optimized 3D bulks, 2D monolayers and 1D square nanotubes, no imaginary frequency has been recorded in their vibrational spectra which reveals a dynamic stability. Likewise, imaginary frequencies appeared only for relatively large YN (n,0) single walled hexagonal nanotubes (n > 6) indicating that the optimized structures are not a real global minimum and implying a dynamic instability. A scaning mode procedure along the largest imaginary vibrational mode has been adopted to obtain the equilibrium geometry of (22,0) YN hexagonal nanotube. Therefore, it must be emphasized that the obtained potential energy surface presents two minima between a saddle point. These minima corresponds to a stable structures slightly distorted compared to the initial one. The absence of imaginary phonon frequencies in the Raman and IR spectra of the optimized (22,0) YN hexagonal nanotube confirms its structural stability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Uterine fibroids are common, nonmalignant tumors that disproportionately impact Black patients. We aimed to examine Black and White differences in receipt of any treatment and type of first treatment in the Department of Veterans Affairs, including effect modification by severity as approximated by anemia. METHODS We used Department of Veterans Affairs administrative data to identify 5,041 Black and 3,206 White veterans with symptomatic uterine fibroids, identified by International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition, Clinical Modification, codes, between fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2012 and followed in the administrative data through fiscal year 2018 for outcomes. Outcomes included receipt of any treatment, hysterectomy as first treatment, and fertility-sparing treatment as first treatment. We stratified all analyses by age (<45, ≥45 years old), used generalized linear models with a log link and Poisson error distribution, included an interaction term between race and anemia, and used recycled predictions to estimate adjusted percentages for outcomes. RESULTS There was evidence of effect modification by anemia for receipt of any treatment but not for any other outcomes. Across age and anemia sub-groups, Black veterans were less likely to receive any treatment than White veterans. Adjusted racial differences were most pronounced among veterans with anemia (<45 years, Black-White difference = -10.3 percentage points; 95% confidence interval, -15.9 to -4.7; ≥45 years, Black-White difference = -20.3 percentage points; 95% confidence interval, -27.8 to -12.7). Across age groups, Black veterans were less likely than White veterans to have hysterectomy and more likely to have a fertility-sparing treatment as their first treatment. CONCLUSIONS We identified significant Black-White disparities in receipt of treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids. Additional research that centers the experiences of Black veterans with uterine fibroids is needed to inform strategies to eliminate racial disparities in uterine fibroid care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Underrepresented groups may be dissuaded from clinical trial participation without perceived value. We therefore comprehensively assessed gynecologic cancer clinical trial protocols for the inclusion of items of value most important to Black individuals. METHODS ClinicalTrials.gov was queried for NCI-sponsored gynecologic cancer clinical trials in the US between Jan.1994 and Nov.2021. Pre-specified return of value (ROV) items were abstracted from each protocol. Inclusion proportions were calculated for each ROV item and temporal changes assessed with chi-square tests. Temporality of proportional trends was further assessed by slope and departure from linearity calculations. RESULTS 279 gynecologic cancer clinical trials were included. Most commonly trials had first accrual in 2001-2007 (37%) and involved ovarian cancer (48%), phase II studies (53%), and chemotherapy (60%) or targeted therapy (34%). Trials often included ROV items in basic information (99%), medical record information (99%), and imaging (82%). 41% of trials included ROV items in biomarker testing, 20% genetic testing, and 20% in patient-reported outcome questionnaires. Over time, there were significant increases in the proportion of trials that included genetic (3% to 51%; p < 0.001) and biomarker testing (14 to 78%, p < 0.001). Information on lifestyle risk factors was rare (1%). No trials included ROV items in ancestry, how to connect with other participants, or remuneration. CONCLUSIONS Gynecologic cancer clinical trials include few design elements that provide high value to Black individuals like lifestyle risk factors, ancestry, and remuneration. In any multi-pronged effort to improve diversity in clinical trial enrollment, inclusion of items valued by Black individuals should be considered.

Abstract
Magnetic spinel oxide NiMn2O4 thin films were grown on glass substrates using the spray pyrolysis deposition technique at 350 °C. First, structural optimization, electronic structure and vibrational properties were obtained for NiMn2O4 by density functional theory (DFT) with an all electron basis set and the hybrid functional B3LYP implemented in the CRYSTAL14 code. Our DFT results show good agreement with previous experimental and theoretical data. Second, Raman spectra of as-prepared thin films have been measured over the temperature range from 100 K to 620 K. We report on the temperature dependence of their dominant first-order scattering F2g and A1g phonons modes. The phonon dynamic behavior is well described by a model taking into account explicit lattice anharmonicity associated to both cubic and quartic phonon decay processes and thermal expansion related quasiharmonicity. Finally, the photocatalytic activities of the obtained thin films were evaluated through the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB) solutions under solar light irradiation as a function of time. All the results indicate that NiMn2O4 thin film can be used as a potential solar-light-driven photocatalyst.

Abstract
Left-sided displacement of the abomasum (LDA) is a frequent disease in dairy cattle causing significant financial losses for dairy farmers. Heritability (h2) of this complex disease was estimated at up to 0.5 in German Holstein (GH) cattle. Using the Bovine High Density BeadChip (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA) comprising 588,753 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) after quality control for 126 LDA cases and 280 population-based controls, we used a mixed linear model analysis in a genome-wide association study (GWAS). We identified 6 genomic regions for LDA on bovine chromosomes 2, 8, 13, 20, 24, and X that were significantly associated with LDA. Each of these regions was covered by 4 to 12 LDA-associated SNP. Single SNP within these regions explained up to 7.3% of the phenotypic variance. An independent sample of 1,554 GH cows, including 539 controls and 1,015 cases, were genotyped for 8 SNP highly associated with LDA on Bos taurus autosomes (BTA) 2, 8, 13, and 24, as well as 6 SNP located in previously identified LDA regions on BTA1, 5, 11, and 27 using competitive allele-specific PCR genotyping technology (KASP). The analysis using the KASP genotypes confirmed LDA-associated loci on BTA2, 8, 13, and 27. These genomic regions may contribute to the susceptibility to LDA in Holstein cows and may harbor functional variants for LDA.

Abstract
A quantum mechanical molecular mechanics (QM/MM) implementation for periodic systems is reported. This is done for the case of molecules and for systems with two and three-dimensional periodicity, which is suitable to model electrolytes in contact with electrodes. Tests on different water-containing systems, ranging from the water dimer up to liquid water indicate the correctness of the scheme. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations are performed, as a possible direction to study realistic systems.

Abstract
Left-sided displacement of the abomasum (LDA) is one of the most common disorders of the digestive system in many dairy breeds and particularly in Holstein dairy cows. We performed a genome-wide association study for 854 German Holstein cows, including 225 cases and 629 controls. All cows were genotyped using the Illumina Bovine SNP50 BeadChip (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA). After quality control of genotypes, a total of 36,226 informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were left for analysis. We used a mixed linear model approach for a genome-wide association study of LDA. In total, 36 SNP located on 17 bovine (Bos taurus) chromosomes (BTA) showed associations with LDA at nominal -log10P-values >3.0. Two of these SNP, located on BTA11 at 46.70 Mb and BTA20 at 16.67 Mb, showed genome-wide significant associations with LDA at -log10P-values >4.6. Pathway analyses indicated genes involved in calcium metabolism and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus to be factors in the pathogenesis of LDA in German Holstein cows.

Abstract
Metal-pernitride compounds belong to a class of chemical systems in which both the complex ions and the non-bonding electrons may play roles in the formation of their modified crystalline structures. To investigate this issue, the energy landscapes of pernitrides of metals with different maximum valence (M=Ca, Sr, Ba, La, and Ti) were globally explored on the ab initio level at standard and high pressures, thereby yielding possible (meta)stable modifications in these systems together with information on how the landscape changed as function of the valence of the metal cation. For all of the systems in which no compounds had been synthesized so far, we predicted the existence of kinetically stable modifications that should, in principle, be experimentally accessible. In particular, TiN2 should crystallize in a new structure type, TiN2-I.

Abstract
A whole-genome scan using an affected paternal half-sib design was utilized to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for left-sided displaced abomasum (LDA) in German Holsteins. A total of 360 animals from 14 paternal half-sib families were genotyped, for a total of 306 polymorphic microsatellites. For a whole-genome scan, 221 markers were equally distributed over all 29 bovine autosomes, with an average distance of 13.7 cM. For fine-mapping, a total of 85 additional microsatellites were used. We identified genome-wide significant QTL on Bos taurus autosome (BTA) 1 (54.6 to 58.3 cM) and on BTA3 (5.9 cM). Furthermore, 3 chromosome-wide significant QTL were located on bovine chromosomes 21, 23, and 24. In addition, we found 11 QTL that cosegregated in grandsire families but that were not significant in the across-family analysis. These QTL were located on BTA5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 19, 23, and 26. This study is the first report on QTL for LDA and is a first step toward identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms for LDA-QTL.

Abstract
A comparison of high-resolution, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data with ab initio band-structure calculations by density functional theory for the anticipated Kondo insulator FeSi shows that the experimental dispersions can quantitatively be described by an itinerant behavior provided that an appropriate self-energy correction is included, whose real part describes the band renormalization due to interactions of the Fe 3d electrons. The imaginary part of the self-energy, on the other hand, determines the linewidth of the quasiparticle peaks in the ARPES data. We use a model self-energy which consistently describes both the renormalized single-particle dispersion and the energy-dependent linewidth of the Fe 3d bands. These results are clear evidence that FeSi is an itinerant semiconductor whose properties can be explained without a local Kondo-like interaction.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Gegenstand und Ziel: Beschrieben werden die klinische Symptomatik, die Therapie und der Krankheitsverlauf bei einem an Tetanus erkrankten Rind. Material und Methoden: Eine 19 Monate alte Färse der Rasse Deutsche Holsteins“ wurde wegen verminderter Futteraufnahme und Pansentympanie in die Klinik eingeliefert. Die Befunde der Eingangsuntersuchung sprachen für Tetanus: steifer Gang, leicht abduzierte Gliedmaßen, steif gestellte Ohren, Vorfall des dritten Augenlids, Strabismus divergens, Pansentympanie, harte Bauchdecke. Auffälligster Laborbefund war eine metabolische Alkalose (BE +12,0 mmol/l) mit leichter Hypokaliämie (K+ 2,9 mmol/l). Eine mögliche Eintrittspforte für die Erreger war nicht erkennbar. Ergebnisse: Zur Beseitigung der Pansentympanie und zur Eingabe von Flüssigkeit und Nährstoffen wurde eine temporäre Pansenfistel angelegt. Das Tier wurde 7 Tage lang mit Procain- Penicillin behandelt (einmal täglich 50000 IE/kg KM s. c.) und erhielt zur Verminderung der Muskelspasmen Xylazin (in den ersten 10 Tagen alle 4 Stunden, danach bis zum 24. Tag alle 6 Stunden jeweils 0,11 mg/kg KM s. c.). Am 30. Tag nach Behandlungsbeginn konnte die Färse geheilt entlassen werden. Schlussfolgerung: Pansentympanie stellt bei Rindern mit Tetanus ein häufiges Symptom dar. Insofern ist diese Erkrankung differenzialdiagnostisch als Ursache einer solchen Störung mit in Betracht zu ziehen. Klinische Relevanz: Selbst bei mäßig ausgeprägter Tetanussymptomatik und erfolgreichem Ansprechen auf die Therapie muss mit einer Krankheitsdauer von etwa 4 Wochen gerechnet werden. In Anbetracht des hohen Behandlungsaufwandes kommt daher ein Therapieversuch im Wesentlichen nur bei wertvolleren Rindern infrage.

Abstract
The objective of the study was to analyze glucose metabolism and abomasal myoelectrical activity during an intravenous glucose tolerance test in cows operated for LDA. Three dairy cows, at the onset of lactation, suffering from left displaced abomasum were selected from the animals presented at the clinic. During surgical therapy, one pair of electrodes was placed in the smooth muscle of the abomasal body, the pars pylorica and the duodenum respectively. The animals were subjected to electromyography on five occasions during hospital admittance (Days 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 post-operative); their insulin, glucagon, glucose, beta-hydroxybutyrate and NEFA levels were then measured. Two days after surgery, the animals were subjected to an intravenous glucose load (300 g glucose in 30 min) during abomaso-duodenal electromyography. The findings indicate that the three animals had glucose metabolism disorders during hospitalization. The abomaso-duodenal myoelectric activity of Cows 1 and 3 was lower than in Cow 2. During the glucose load, the analysis of hormones and metabolites showed that there were different degrees of reactivity and that myoelectric activity differed in the 3 cows. The results of the study suggest that despite the surgical reposition of the abomasum, disorders of abomasal motility persist in different degrees in cows operated for LDA and could be influenced by glucose administrations.

Abstract
The structure and cohesive energy of crystalline urea have been investigated at the ab initio level of calculation. The performance of different Hamiltonians in dealing with a hydrogen-bonded molecular crystal as crystalline urea is assessed. Detailed calculations carried out by adopting both HF and some of the most popular DFT methods in solid-state chemistry are reported. Local, gradient-corrected, and hybrid functionals have been adopted: SVWN, PW91, PBE, B3LYP, and PBE0. First, a 6-31G(d,p) basis set has been adopted, and then the basis set dependence of computed results has been investigated at the B3LYP level. All calculations were carried out by using a development version of the periodic ab initio code CRYSTAL06, which allows full optimization of lattice parameters and atomic coordinates. With the 6-31G(d,p) basis set, structural features are well reproduced by hybrid methods and GGA. LDA gives lattice parameters and hydrogen-bond distances that are too small relative to experiment, while at the HF level the opposite trend is observed. Results show that hybrid methods are more accurate than HF and both LDA and GGA functionals, with a trend in the computed properties similar to that of hydrogen-bonded molecular complexes. When BSSE and ZPE are taken into account, all methods, except LDA, give computed cohesive energies that are underestimated with respect to the experimental sublimation enthalpy. Dispersion energy, not properly taken into account by DFT methods, plays a crucial role. Such a deficiency also affects dramatically the computed crystalline structure, especially when large basis sets are adopted. We show that this is an artifact due to the BSSE. Indeed, with small basis sets the BSSE gives an extra-binding that compensates for the missing dispersion forces, thus yielding structures in fortuitous agreement with experiment.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The objective of this study was to determine the digestibility of milk lipids in calves with diarrhoea, the pathophysiological effects of fat intake on the course of the disease and the conversion of malabsorbed longchain fatty acids to secretory effective hydroxy fatty acids by the intestinal flora. ANIMALS 32 male calves of the breed "Deutsches Fleckvieh" with spontaneous occurring diarrhoea, age 3-14 days. Reference group: 6 clinically healthy calves of the same age group. Feed: whole milk, daily ration corresponding to 10% of the BM, divided into 3 meals; supplementary oral rehydration solution as required. METHODS Quantitative collection of the faeces excreted over a period of at least 72 hours, determination of fatty acids and glycerides, identification and quantification of hydroxystearic acids in the faeces by gas chromatography; calculation of the apparent digestibility of the milk lipids. RESULTS The apparent digestibility of the milk lipids was in part considerably reduced in direct relation (r = 0.8) to the severity of the diarrhoea. In the case of daily fecal outputs of over 50 g/kg BM (watery diarrhoea), the apparent fat digestibility was reduced below 50%. Even so, the apparent digestibility correlated positively with the milk intake (r = 0.5). The fat excretion in the patients showed an average of 1.4 g/kg BM/24 h and was thus nearly nine times higher in comparison to the reference group (0.16 g/kg BM/24 h). In the case of severe diarrhoea, fat excretion rates of over 2 (up to max. 5.8) g/kg BM in 24 hours were recorded. However, in the main (approx. 70%) it was not glycerides but nonesterified fatty acids. A part of the longchain fatty acids were converted to hydroxy fatty acids by the intestinal flora. It was possible to quantify alpha-, 10(9)- and 12-hydroxystearic acids individually in the faeces of both healthy calves and those with diarrhoea. However, the total concentration of hydroxystearic acids in the faces of 26 out of 32 patients was considerably under the secretory effective concentration of 2 mmol/kg (mean = 1.5 mmol/kg), the other six lay between 2.9 and 11.6 mmol/kg. Only a weakly positive correlation (r = 0.23 or 0.24) existed between the amount of milk intake and the fecal concentration resp. excretion of hydroxystearic acids. CONCLUSIONS There was no evidence that the consumption of milk lipids influenced the diarrhoea negatively. In individual cases, it could not be completely excluded that fluid and electrolyte absorption was affected by hydroxystearic acids produced in the intestine, but the quantitative effects of this process are of minor significance in comparison to other diarrhoea inducing factors.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in cattle is characterized by the formation of vesicles and erosions in the mouth, teats and feet. Despite extremely high morbidity, mortality in adults is usually very low, however up to 50% of calves dies due to cardiac involvement or secondary infections. This paper describes the signs of FMD in cattle as well as those of other diseases which causes similar lesions in this species.

Abstract
Risk factors for congenital umbilical hernias were investigated in German Fleckvieh calves up for sale at livestock markets. Data from 53,105 calves were collected from 77 livestock auctions in 1996 and 1997. The overall incidence of congenital umbilical hernia was 1.8%. A significant influence on incidence was exerted by the sex of the calf, the occurrence of multiple births, the market place/market date, the sire and the sire line. The proportion of Red Holstein blood in the calf, the dam's lactation number, gestation length, 305 day milk performance and the herd milk level were not significant factors. Herdmate averages for calves differed significantly in their incidence. Heritability estimates on the liability scale for congenital umbilical hernia were about 0.4 and progeny groups of sires at risk for congenital umbilical hernia were in the range 0.1% to 14.2%. The segregation pattern could not be explained either by an autosomal recessive or by an autosomal dominant monogenic model. It seems likely that more than one gene locus is involved in the underlying genetic mechanism. Breeders should be aware of the genetic implications of congenital umbilical hernias.

Abstract
The frequency of congenital hernia was investigated in German Fleckvieh calves being driven up for sale on livestock markets for breeding and fattening calves in Miesbach and Traunstein. Data were collected on 77 livestock auctions in the years 1996 and 1997. Altogether 53,105 calves were examined and 1.8% of these calves showed a congenital umbilical hernia. The incidence of umbilical hernia was significantly influenced by the sex of the calf, the occurrence of multiple births, the market place/market date, the sire and the sire line. Red Holstein blood proportion, lactation number, duration of pregnancy and 305 day milk performance were not of significant importance. Herd milk level did not influence the incidence of congenital umbilical hernia, however, herdmate averages for calves differed significantly in their incidence. The average difference of the market price between male calves affected by congenital umbilical hernia and not affected male calves amounted to 75 DM, in female calves, however, only to 38 DM. The risk, that a congenital umbilical hernia is not closing within an age of 15 months, depends on the width of the hernial opening in the newborn calf. An opening of 4 cm and more has only a healing chance of 50% and less. However, negative effects on fattening and carcass traits could be not found. The genetic influence on congenital umbilical hernia was obvious. The analyses indicated that the incidence of congenital umbilical hernia observed could not be explained by one autosomal recessive gene locus, but it seemed much more likely that more than one gene locus is involved or a mixed multifactorial monogenic mode of inheritance may be the underlying genetic mechanism. Breeders should be aware of the implications of congenital hernias and thus, congenital hernia should get more attention in the selection process of young sires.

Abstract
On 32 calves (age 3 to 14 days) with spontaneously occurring diarrhoea, the following investigations were carried out: Regular examination of serum bile acid concentrations, collection of the entire faeces with determination of bile acid concentrations, as well as microbiological examinations. Six clinically healthy calves served as control group. In addition, bile acids in bile were determined in 16 other calves of the same age group and in 6 beef bulls. There was no significant influence of daytime or feed intake on serum bile acid concentration in diarrhoeic or healthy calves. Possibly due to the low concentrations of bile acids in the bile of young calves (4.8 +/- 3.7 mmol/l, compared to 57 +/- 13 mmol/l in the bulls), the concentrations in faeces were also rather low (control group 623 +/- 92, calves with diarrhoea 318 +/- 277, after diarrhoea. 794 +/- 935 mumol/kg). Most of it was cholic acid, whereas only traces of desoxycholic acid were found. In spite of the comparatively low concentrations of fecal bile acids, the diarrhoeic calves excreted larger amounts of bile acids than the healthy calves (12.7 +/- 13.5 vs. 1.4 +/- 0.8 mumol/kg), but this was independent of the type of enteropathogen or pathogen combinations which were detected. There were no indications for a direct influence of the diarrhoea by bile acids. However, through enteral bile acid losses, profuse diarrhoea lasting several days can cause a reduction in the total bile acid pool.

Abstract
Among the patients admitted to the II. Medical Animal Clinic of the University of Munich from 1986 through 1994, there were 51 calves at an age of up to three months with intussusceptions in the caecal region. The following forms were observed: caecocaecal (n = 12), caecocolic (n = 22), ileocaecocolic (n = 6), ileocaecal (n = 8), and jejunoileocolic (n = 3). In 40 cases, the intussusception occurred in the course of diarrheal disease. The most important signs were scant faeces, that often contained blood and/or mucus, and the finding of a hard viscus upon abdominal palpation. Colic was observed in 27% of patients. In 18 cases, surgical intervention was not attempted because of the advanced stage of the disease or severe accompanying disease. From the remaining 33 calves, eight were cured. The others were either destroyed or died because of extensive peritonitis or other diseases. This report is to draw attention to the fact that (caecal) intussusception should be considered in diarrheal calves when faecal output decreases suddenly, and the general state deteriorates.

Abstract
The applicability of impulse oscillometry (IOS) under clinical and field conditions was tested on 31 calves and 27 young bulls over a period from 3 to 5 months, respectively. Based on the obtained 492 test results (the average of four measurements), lung function criteria resistance and reactance, measured at frequencies of 5 to 15 Hz, showed to be diagnostically relevant. In healthy calves aged 4 to 12 weeks, resistance values lay between 0.22 to 0.36 kPa/(l/s) irrespective of frequency. Reactance values were in the range of -0.014 to 0.055 kPa/(l/s) at 5 Hz, but increased with growing frequency. Within the investigated groups no correlation could be established between factors age or body mass of the animals and resistance. Increasing age, however, led to a considerable increase in reactance. Alterations of the upper airway system were coupled with an increase in resistance values while reactance remained constant. Diagnostic evaluation of individual results relating to this category was hampered by the high interindividual test value variance of 25 to 31% between healthy animals. Diseases of the peripheral respiratory system, however, were clearly characterised by a significant decrease in reactance, as well as a negative frequency dependence of resistance. It is concluded that this method at lung function testing provides a sensitive tool for detecting and recording lung function disorders in young cattle.
