Abstract:
Family felidae, the order of carnivores, includes Felis Domestica. Domestic cats can be kept as pets, wild domestic cats typically cluster in close proximity to human settlements. Feral domestic cats typically make use of human food resources that have been left over. As a result, the purpose of this research is to determine the variety of domestic cat behaviors in the area of Gampong Meurandeh and Gampong Teungoh in the Langsa Lama District of Langsa City in Aceh. The method used to observe the average daily behavior of domestic cats is by using survey methods and scan sampling carried out at 15 minute intervals. There were three categories of the observed cat's daily behavior: affiliative behavior, self-preservation, and negative behavior. Based on the study's findings, differences in daily behavior based on Gampong differences and time differences were dominated by self-care behavior, then affiliative behavior and then negative behavior. The morning and afternoon feeding times of the cats and humans in the two villages were not significantly different.

Abstract:
Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the impact of onychectomy (declawing) upon subsequent development of back pain and unwanted behavior in cohorts of treated and control cats housed in two different locations. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study. In total, there was 137 declawed and 137 non-declawed cats, of which 176 were owned cats (88 declawed, 88 non-declawed) and 98 were shelter cats (49 declawed and 49 non-declawed). All cats were physically examined for signs of pain and barbering. The previous 2 years of medical history were reviewed for documented unwanted behavior such as inappropriate elimination and biting with minimal provocation and aggression. All declawed cats were radiographed for distal limb abnormalities, including P3 (third phalanx) bone fragments. The associations of declaw surgery with the outcomes of interest were examined using χ2 analysis, two sample t-tests and manual, backwards, stepwise logistic regression. Results Significant increases in the odds of back pain (odds ratio [OR] 2.9), periuria/perichezia (OR 7.2), biting (OR 4.5) and barbering (OR 3.06) occurred in declawed compared with control cats. Of the 137 declawed cats, 86 (63%) showed radiographic evidence of residual P3 fragments. The odds of back pain (OR 2.66), periuria/perichezia (OR 2.52) and aggression (OR 8.9) were significantly increased in declawed cats with retained P3 fragments compared with those declawed cats without. Optimal surgical technique, with removal of P3 in its entirety, was associated with fewer adverse outcomes and lower odds of these outcomes, but operated animals remained at increased odds of biting (OR 3.0) and undesirable habits of elimination (OR 4.0) compared with non-surgical controls. Conclusions and relevance Declawing cats increases the risk of unwanted behaviors and may increase risk for developing back pain. Evidence of inadequate surgical technique was common in the study population. Among declawed cats, retained P3 fragments further increased the risk of developing back pain and adverse behaviors. The use of optimal surgical technique does not eliminate the risk of adverse behavior subsequent to onychectomy.

Abstract:
Aggression is an important behavioral problem in cats. This issue can occur as a reaction when there is disease or pain in a normal cat. The aim of this study is to evaluate the behavior changes of cats exposed to trauma using behavior scoring system and demeanour scoring system. In this study consisted of 135 cats of different breeds, ages and genders with high rise syndrome and traffic accidents. These cats were given a detailed clinical and radiological examination. Demeanour scoring system, behavior tests, and visual analog scale were used to identify behavior changes and pain in cats. The findings from this study showed that cats exposed to trauma may experience behavioral changes or agression, and this may result from pain or stress from trauma. As a result, stress from trauma in cats can also lead to a change in behavior, a temporary aggressiveness.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of physical environmental enrichment on the agonistic behavior of 30 cats housed in the "Rescue Mission" shelter. In the pre-enrichment period, a significant increase in agonistic behaviors was observed, such as 205 paw swipes and 184 vocalizations. After implementing crates and shelves as enrichment, a gradual reduction of these behaviors was recorded. Comparison of the two types of enrichment revealed that the cats preferred the 282 boxes over the 170 shelves. As for the relationship between enrichment and sex, age and body condition of the cats, statistically significant relationships were found. Taken together, these results point to the significant influence of sex, age, and body condition on cats' environmental enrichment preferences. These findings highlight the importance of environmental enrichment in improving the welfare of cats in shelters and homes, and provide relevant information for decision making in the management of these animals. It is concluded that the implementation of effective environmental enrichment strategies can reduce stress and improve the behavior of cats, promoting a more harmonious coexistence among felines.

Abstract:
Objective To identify feline and household characteristics associated with relinquishment of a pet cat to an animal shelter. Design Case-control study. Sample Population Households that relinquished cats for adoption (case households) and a random sample of current cat-owning households in the same community (control households). Results Potentially modifiable risk factors with the highest population attributable risk for relinquishment were owners having specific expectations about the cat's role in the household, allowing the cat outdoors, owning a sexually intact cat, never having read a book about cat behavior, cats having daily or weekly inappropriate elimination, and inappropriate care expectations. Frequency of inappropriate elimination and aggression toward people were not associated with declaw status, but these behaviors were more common among sexually intact cats, compared with sterilized cats. Owners of cats in case households were more likely than owners in control households to cite cost of sterilization as a reason a cat was sexually intact. Cats found as strays and cats acquired with minimal planning were at decreased risk of relinquishment. Clinical Implications—The identified risk factors can be modified by cat owners and veterinarians to decrease the estimated 4 million cats euthanatized annually in animal shelters. Owner education programs are needed as well as increased awareness on the part of cat owners and veterinarians of the importance of resolving feline inappropriate elimination problems.

Abstract:
Correlation of histopathology with the behavior of cutaneous mastocytomas in 85 cats revealed two distinct histologic subtypes which were predictive of biologic behavior. The first subtype comprised 65 cats of various breeds which had solitary, discrete, dermal tumors composed of slightly atypical mast cells. Most tumors in this group were histologically and behaviorally benign. However, seven solitary tumors with marked anisocytosis and mitotic activity recurred or spread to other sites within 2 to 3 months. The second subtype occurred in 18 cats which had discrete subcutaneous nodules composed primarily of histiocyte-like cells with equivocal cytoplasmic granularity after staining with toluidine blue. They were identified as mast cells by electron microscopy. Seventeen of the 18 affected cats were Siamese. The histiocytic mastocytomas occurred predominantly in young cats (<4 years) and were usually multiple. In the four cats of this group for which we have prolonged follow-up data, the tumors underwent apparently spontaneous regression within 2 years of initial tumor detection. Two other cats had tumors which contained mixtures of mast cell and histiocytic morphologies.

Abstract:
This study consisted of an online survey based on a convenience sample among cat owners in Sweden. The aim was to investigate how owner and cat characteristics influenced the perceived behavior of cats, focusing on perceived behavioral or temperamental problems. The relation between owner knowledge, the provided environment, and owner perceived behavior of 3253 pet cats were investigated. Few respondents (18%) reported behavioral or temperamental problems, and consequently 82% perceived no problem whatsoever. Fewer cats with outdoor access were reported to display behavioral or temperamental problems. However, there was no effect of the length of time a cat was left home alone. Having studied animal behavior at university level influenced the perception of some cat behaviors, but not the incidence of reporting perceived problems. Many owners did not believe that it was possible to prevent behavioral problems in cats by training (58.5%), and many owners thought that cats could manage independently on their own (66%). Attitudes like this can cause challenges in the owner–cat interactions. The perception of problems with cats will be influenced by factors relating to husbandry routines such as outdoor access, which in the future could help to implement recommendations for cat husbandry and care.

Abstract:
Practical relevance: Cats are one of the most common companion animals in the world. However, relatively little scientific research has been conducted on cat behavior. With problem behaviors a leading reason for relinquishment of cats to shelters, or abandonment outdoors, solutions to address feline behavioral problems can have important welfare benefits. Because naturally occurring pheromones produce measurable species-specific responses in cats, the use of synthetic pheromone products consisting of the same compounds may activate a specific behavioral response in the receiving individual, allowing humans to better communicate with cats and manage feline problem behavior. Aims: In this article the scientific background for naturally occurring feline pheromones and semiochemicals and their impact on cat behavior is reviewed. This is used as a foundation to explore the three feline synthetic pheromones currently available and the empirical evidence that exists for their effectiveness. From this information, several recommendations for veterinarians and behavior professionals on the application of feline pheromone therapy in the home and veterinary clinic setting are presented. Evidence base: The efficacy of synthetic pheromones as a tool for the management of problem behaviors is a relatively new area of research and only fairly recently has the need to implement more rigorous research methodology been recognized.

Abstract:
AbstrakFeral cat merupakan kucing domestik liar yang umumnya hidup berkelompok di sekitar habitat manusia. Kucing domestik liar cenderung memanfaatkan sumber daya antropogenik dibanding mencari makan sendiri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan serta menganalisis perilaku harian dan aktivitas pencarian makan antar kelompok kucing domestik liar di sekitar dua kantin Kampus Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB). Metode scan sampling digunakan untuk mengamati aktivitas harian rata-rata dengan interval waktu 10 menit, selanjutnya metode ad libitum sampling untuk melihat perilaku makan dan interaksi antara kucing dengan manusia dalam mendapatkan makanan. Perilaku harian dibagi dalam 3 kategori, yaitu afiliatif, pemeliharaan diri, dan pertemuan negatif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, perilaku harian kucing di kedua kantin didominasi oleh perilaku perawatan diri (76,62% dan 65,17%), diikuti oleh perilaku afiliatif (18,06% dan 29,61%) dan perilaku negatif (5,32% dan 5,22%). Tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara perilaku kucing di pagi hari dan siang hari (p-value >0,05). Interaksi antara kucing dan manusia yang memiliki frekuensi tertinggi yaitu perilaku kucing mendekati manusia. Tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan pada interaksi antara kucing dan manusia di pagi hari dan siang hari (p-value> 0.05).Abstract A feral cat is a wild domestic cat that usually lives in groups around the human habitat. Wild domestic cats tend to utilize anthropogenic resources from humans rather than foraging for themselves. This study aims to compare and analyze the daily behavior and foraging activity of groups of feral cats around the canteens of the IPB University campus. Observation of the cat's daily activity behavior was conducted by the scan sampling method at 10-minute intervals. The ad libitum sampling method was conducted to observe the feeding behavior and the interaction between the cats and humans in getting food. Daily activity behavior is divided into three categories, i.e., affiliative, self-care, and negative encounters. This study showed daily activity of the cats were dominated by self-care (76,62% dan 65,17%), affiliative behavior (18,06% dan 29,61%) and negative encounters (5,32% dan 5,22%). There is no significant difference between the daily activity of the cats in the morning and daytime (p-value >0.05). The interaction between human and the cats were dominated by the behavior of the cats approaching human. There is no significant difference in interactions between humans and cats in the morning and daytime (p-value >0.05).

Abstract:
The behavior and facial expressions performed by cats have been reported to be visibly affected by the perceived taste quality of a food item. The goal of the present study was to assess how cats react to pleasant and unpleasant tastes. The facial and behavioral reactions of 13 cats to different concentrations of L-Proline and quinine monohydrochloride as well as mixtures with different concentrations of the two substances were assessed using a two-bottle preference test. The cats were videotaped during the tests and the frequency and duration of 50 different behaviors was analyzed in Noldus the Observer XT. The cats responded to tastes regarded as pleasant by having their eyes less than 50 % open for significantly longer periods of time compared to a water control. Tongue protrusions were also observed significantly more frequently when the cats sampled from a solution with a preferred taste compared to a water control. When encountering solutions of quinine monohydrochloride or mixtures containing quinine monohydrochloride the cats were observed to perform tongue protrusion gapes much more frequently compared to a water or L-Proline control. Even though the cats did not significantly differ in the number of times they licked at spouts containing the 50 mM L-Proline and 500 mM quinine monohydrochloride mixture compared to a 50 mM L-Proline, no masking effect could be confirmed as there was no increase in the acceptance of the mixture was observed. The present study suggests that the knowledge about behavioral responses to pleasant or unpleasant taste can be utilized in future studies on how cats perceive different tastes.

Abstract:
The larval stage of the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis felis (Bouche), was found to exhibit behaviors that were conducive to its security in carpet. Larvae exhibited positive geotactic, and negative phototactic behaviors. This resulted in the larvae spending greater than 80% of their time at the base of the carpet pile. Cat flea larvae also exhibited a positive hydrotaxis, and appeared to exhibit undirected movements when foraging. Larva were observed to respond to disturbances by coiling their body longitudinally. Cat flea hatched and unhatched eggs, and larval exuviae were found to be dispersed in a contagious fashion within carpet. The spatial pattern of the immature stages and remains was influenced by the habits of the pet host within a given room. First-instar larvae do not move far, if at all, from the location of eclosion. The movement of the larval stage is influenced by biotic and abiotic factors in the environment. Areas of high pedestrian or pet traffic are not conducive to successful eclosion from the egg or for successful larval development. Various methods of control exist for controlling an indoor infestation including both non-chemical and chemical tactics. A method for the physical control of immature stages in carpet is vacuuming. A beater-bar vacuum removes about 50% of the eggs but less than 30% of the larvae from a carpet. Chemical control tactics indoors are normally conducted using a compressed-air sprayer. Pressure within the application system is critical for creating spray patterns which can be overlapped to allow even insecticide coverage of the substrate. A compressed-air application system is not capable of delivering pesticides in a manner that will completely penetrate the carpet substrate to reach the base of the carpet. No significant differences in carpet penetration were observed over a range of 20 to 70 psi. Regardless of pressure, more than 93% of the solution applied to carpet was deposited in the upper third (6 mm) of the carpet. Pet owners were surveyed about their knowledge and perceptions of household infestations of the cat flea, and also about financial expenditures and their willingness to pay for a flea-free environment. The importance and the pest status of flea infestations were determined to be based on physical, psychological, and economic impacts on homeowners. Respondents' perceptions of infestations on their pet were associated with infestation levels in the house. The respondents were willing to pay more for flea control in July, the onset of the flea season, than they were at the peak or decline of the season. They were also willing to pay more as their perception of the intensity of the problem on the pet or in the home increased. Household income was not shown to affect a respondent's actual financial expenditures or his willingness to pay for flea control on the pet or in the home.

Companion animals grow geometrically and the lack of proper control favors the increase of these animals in the streets. Neutering is an important alternative for controlling the populations of dogs and cats, contributing to the reduction of abandoned animals, zoonoses, ill-treatment and many diseases with society. However, there is a reluctance of many of the tutors of these animals to castrate them, since they associate sterilization with something negative, such as the emergence of behaviors considered as unwanted. Therefore, the present study aimed to make an analysis of the perception of the population on the behavioral changes of companion animals after the surgical sterilization procedure. The work was carried out on companion animals from the rural communities of Mossoró / RN. A survey of the number of animals from each community was carried out. At the time, a questionnaire was applied and the animals were registered, followed by castration by Surgical sterilization in those animals in which the tutors accepted. After 6 (six) months the questionnaires were reapplied. Through the data obtained with the reapplication of the questionnaires we obtained that the number of sociable dogs changed from 73.30% to 68.10%, whereas the cats were from 80.80% to 72.90%; 53.9% of the dogs had a habit of leaving home, later this value increased to 56, 8%, however the cats changed from 73.9% to 58.9%; 90.5% of the dogs were considered active, at reapplication this value changed to 89.9%, the cats initially presented a percentage of 84.3% and changed to 83.8%. 26.4% of the dogs had a habit of urinating in the corners or in the surroundings of the house, but this value changed to 22.90%, already of the 40% of felines that had this characteristic, only 14.3% maintained it. As for the habit of destroying objects, 31.6% of the dogs had this behavior, but after castration only 12.5% remained with it, for this characteristic cats changed from 22.20% to 6.25%. 20% of the dogs showed aggression, but this percentage changed to 10.8%, while 20% of the dogs were aggressive and only 12.1% continued. We can conclude tutors from the rural communities of Mossoró / RN are formed by a majority of low income financial farmers, who noticed changes in the behavior of dogs and cats, also observing a reduction in the number of cats present in the streets, but did not notice a change in the environmental conditions
Os animais de companhia crescem de forma geométrica e a falta de um controle adequado favorece o aumento desses animais nas ruas. A esterilização cirúrgica é uma alternativa importante e para o controle das populações de cães e gatos, contribuindo para a redução dos animais abandonados, as zoonoses, os maus tratos e muitos agravos com a sociedade. No entanto, existe uma relutância de muitos dos tutores desses animais em castrá-los, pois associam a esterilização a algo negativo, como o surgimento de comportamentos tidos como indesejados. Portanto, o presente trabalho objetivou fazer uma análise da percepção da população sobre as alterações comportamentais dos animais de companhia após o procedimento cirúrgico de esterilização. O trabalho foi realizado em animais de companhia das comunidades rurais de Mossoró/RN, para isso foi feito um levantamento do número de animais de cada comunidade, na ocasião houve a aplicação de um questionário e o cadastramento destes animais, em seguida realizado a castração por esterilização cirúrgica, naqueles animais em que os tutores aceitaram. Após 6(seis) meses os questionários foram reaplicados. Através dos dados obtidos com a reaplicação dos questionários obtivemos que o número de cães sociáveis mudaram de 73,30% para 68,10%, enquanto que os gatos foram de 80,80% para 72,90%; 53,9% dos cães tinham hábito de sair de casa, posteriormente esse valor aumentou para 56,8%, no entanto os gatos mudaram de 73,9% para 58,9%; 90,5% dos cães eram considerados ativos, na reaplicação esse valor mudou para 89,9%,os gatos, inicialmente apresentavam uma porcentagem de 84,3% e mudou para 83,8%. 26,4% dos cães tinham hábito de urinar nos cantos ou aos arredores da casa, mas esse valor mudou para 22,90%, já dos 40% de felinos que tinham essa característica, apenas 14,3% o mantiveram. Quanto ao habito de destruir objetos, 31,6% dos cães tinham esse comportamento, mas após a castração apenas 12,5% permaneceram com ele, para esta característica os gatos mudaram de 22,20% para 6,25%. 20% dos cães se demonstraram agressivos, mas esse percentual mudou para 10,8%, enquanto que dos 20% dos felinos eram agressivos e apenas 12,1% continuaram. Podemos concluir os tutores das comunidades rurais de Mossoró/RN são formados por uma maioria de agricultores de baixa renda financeira, que notaram mudanças no comportamento dos cães e gatos, observando também uma redução no número de gatos presentes nas ruas, mas não notaram mudança das condições ambientais

The greater bilby (Macrotis lagotis) is an ecosystem engineer, modifying the physical environment through their digging activity. Their burrows provide shelter and hunting or foraging opportunities for a variety of species. Bilbies have experienced a severe decline in abundance and are now restricted to approximately 20% of their former distribution, resulting in the species being listed as ‘Vulnerable’. This decline has been driven, in part, by predation pressure from introduced predators such as feral cats. Predators can directly impact prey species survival and may also cause a change in the behaviour of prey species as they respond to the risk of predation. We used camera traps to monitor bilby burrows at five sites in Western Australia, with varying levels of predation risk to bilbies by cats. We investigated the impact of feral cats on the behaviour of bilbies at burrows, particularly during highly vulnerable periods, while they dig and clear away soil or debris from the mouth of their burrow. We tested the effect of visitation by cats on the proportion of days a bilby was active, camera detection rate, and burrowing behaviour, the effect of different levels of predation risk (between site comparison) on bilby burrowing behaviour, and the time of night bilbies perform maintenance. We also tested if cat activity was influenced by lunar illumination. Overall, there was little evidence that bilbies avoided burrows after a visit by a feral cat; however, they reduced the time spent performing burrow maintenance in the days following a cat visit (p=0.010). Bilbies performed varying amounts of burrow maintenance, and at different times of the night between sites. Finally, cat activity at bilby burrows significantly increased with lunar illumination (p=0.010) but was not influenced by bilby camera detection rate. Our results show that bilbies in the West Kimberley are not as naïve to feral cats as previously thought.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Toxoplasmosis is a condition in which a person is infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Humanitarian transmission is closely linked to the environment in which they live and the conduct that allows the entry into the body of Oocyst Toxoplasma gondii. Toxoplasmosis in married women is very dangerous because it can cause conditions of infertility, repeated spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, and congenital abnormalities. This study aimed to analyze the association between environmental and behavior on toxoplasmosis incidences among married women. Subjects and Method: This was a case-control study carried out at the Alternative Medical Clinic, Aquatreat Therapy Indonesia Foundation in Bogor City during 2019. Total of 160 women were enrolled in this study and divided into 2 groups: 80 in case group and 80 in control group. The dependent variable was toxoplasmosis behavior. The independent variables were environmental and behavior factors. Data were collected from clinical laboratory results and questionnaire and analyzed using a multiple logistic regression. Results: In environmental factors, presence of pets at home (OR= 3.73; 95%CI= 1.83 to 7.61; p<0.001), presence of wild cats or neighboring cats that are often seen around the house (OR= 2.63; 95%CI= 1.24 to 5.58; p= 0.012), and risky environment (OR= 9.60; 95%CI= 3.74 to 24.61; p<0.001) were significantly associated with toxoplasmosis among married women. In behavior factors, consumption of raw vegetables/vegetables (OR= 4.53; 95%CI= 1.23 to 16.73; p= 0.023), consumption of smoked meat/ steak/ undercooked (OR= 3.32; 95%CI= 0.12 to 0.77; p<0.001), food buying habits at roadside stalls (OR= 8.64; 95%CI= 0.03 to 0.50; p<0.001), and washing hands before eating (OR= 0.29; 95%CI= 1.80 to 25.50; p= 0.006) were significantly associated with toxoplasmosis among married women. Conclusion: Environmental and behavior factors are positively associate with toxoplasmosis among married women.

Full text
Abstract:
Understanding natural head posture in animals is improtant in interpreting their biomechanics and behavior. For extinct animals, natural posture cannot be directly determined from the fossil record. There have been few prior studies of animal line of sight and head posture. Most line of sight studies have focused on the breadth of binocular vision versus panoramic vision in relation to behavior (predator type or grazer, for instance) or the animals typical environment (open or cluttered) [1]. For head posture some have studied changes in cognition or the environment or related aspects like the eyeball orientation as head posture changes [2]. Still others have focused on the areas of the brain that control 3D head position [3]. However, none of these studies address a method to determine the natural head posture or angle. While there currently is no definitive way to determine natural head angle in extinct animals, it seems reasonable to assume that the natural head posture would place the line of sight in the horizontal plane for most species. Therefore, we hypothesized that the opening for the optical (the optical foremen) and the eye socket structure itself can be used to accurately determine the natural head posture for a large portion of extant and extinct animal species. Specifically, if the skull is oriented such that the plane of sight (the plane common to both lines of sight) is horizontal, then the skull will be in the natural posture. If this hypothesis is shown to be valid, it will provide naturalists a reliable tool to determine the natural head posture (head angle) of extinct animals. The objective of this study was to test the above hypothesis on animals in the Felidae (cats).

Full text
Abstract:
Cast austenitic stainless steels (CASSs) are used in the cooling system of light water reactors (LWRs) for components with complex shapes, such as pump casings, valve bodies, coolant piping, etc. The CF grades of CASS alloys are the cast equivalents of 300-series stainless steels (SSs) and show excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. In contrast to the fully austenitic microstructure of wrought SSs, CASS alloys consist of a dual-phase microstructure of delta ferrite and austenite and are vulnerable to thermal aging embrittlement. The service performance of CASS alloys is of concern after long-term exposure to high-temperature coolant. In this work, we studied the effects of thermal aging and ferrite content on the fracture resistance of CASS alloys. Crack growth rate and fracture toughness J–R curve tests were performed on aged and unaged CASS alloys in simulated light water reactor environments. The impact of thermal aging on the cracking susceptibility was investigated and the effect of ferrite content was evaluated. Significant embrittlement was observed in the CASS alloys after aging at 400°C. To understand the embrittlement mechanism, microstructural characterizations were performed with transmission electron microscope. The thermal aging produced G-phase precipitates and phase separation in the ferrite, but did not affect the microstructure of austenite. Consequently, the ferrite was hardened considerably after thermal aging while the hardness of austenite phase remained unchanged. The difference in hardness created a high incompatible strain at the interface between ferrite and austenite, leading to fracture at phase boundaries.

Full text
Abstract:
This study conducted J-R fracture toughness tests using aged CF8A cast austenitic stainless steel (CASS) under dynamic and cyclic loading conditions at room temperature (RT) and 316°C and investigated the effect of seismic loading characteristics on the fracture behavior of age-related degraded material. For comparison, J-R fracture tests were also conducted on unaged CF8A CASS. CF8A CASS was made as a static casting, and it was aged thermally at 400°C for 175 days, which is equivalent to thermal aging at the operating temperature of nuclear power plants (NPPs) for 32 effective full power years (EFPYs). Monotonic J-R tests were conducted at both quasi-static and dynamic loading rates, and cyclic J-R tests were conducted at a quasi-static loading rate. The results showed that the fracture resistance of aged CF8A CASS under monotonic load was lower, by ∼35%, than that of unaged CF8A CASS, regardless of test temperatures and loading rates. The dynamic loading effect on fracture behavior was almost negligible for both unaged and aged CF8A CASSs at RT and 316°C. Cyclic loading reduced J-R fracture toughness of unaged CF8A CASS considerably at both test temperatures. Such a cyclic loading effect on fracture behavior was still observed from aged CF8A CASS. Thus, we conclude that the dynamic and cyclic loading effects on fracture behavior of CF8A CASS were not altered by thermal aging at the operating temperature of NPPs for 32 EFPYs.

Full text
Abstract:
Research groups around the world have reached common and contradicting conclusions regarding the behavior and properties of nanostructured materials. The aim of this research is to affirm the common findings by previous research, and support one of the currently proposed concepts of mechanical behavior based on processing and characterization of consolidated nanocrystalline micropowders of high strength/precipitation hardenable aluminum alloy using combined PM/intense plastic straining via Equal Channel angular Extrusion (ECAE). This research work investigated the effect of (a) Cold and hot consolidation of nanocrystalline Al-2124 micropowders into compacts with 4.0 h/d ratio and (b) Canning material used for encapsulating the compact rods for subsequent extrusion within the ECAE channels, and (c) the effect of ECAE number of passes and routes on the green compact properties. The effect of the processing parameters (compaction condition, extrusion temperature, strain rate) on the sample density, grain, subgrain and subcell sizes, and hardness was studied. Pure wrought and cast Cu, and casts Al-cans as well as Al-2024 wrought cans were used for canning of the consolidated powders. Green and hot compact rods were produced from 40μm average particle size Al-2124 powders with 53nm internal structure. Highest density consolidated rods were produced for the double sided cold compaction at 6σ (450MPa) over duration of 30min, while single sided compaction at similar pressure over 60min duration time of compaction and at temperature of 480°C produced the most dense and highest hardness hot compacts. Pure wrought Cu and cast Al are the most suitable canning material for room temperature ECAE of the Al-2124 green compacts. Non-isothermal heating during extrusion hindered the uniform warm deformation of the green and hot compacts canned in wrought Al-2024. Loose powder particles of the green compacts results in particle rotation while passing though the 90° angle intersecting channels of ECAE, and hence prevents full consolidation and densification of the produced product.

Abstract:
Abstract: This study explores the complex world of feline communication, focusing on analyzing facial expressions. It utilizes the Cat Facial Action Coding System (CatFACS) with art theory for scientific illustration, presenting a novel approach in this field. CatFACS is employed for a detailed, objective analysis of feline facial expressions. However, as CatFACS does not inherently examine the emotional component, art theory is integrated to interpret these expressions. This combination provides a comprehensive understanding of cats' emotional states by focusing on both observable physical cues and inferred emotional contexts. Integrating CatFACS with scientific illustration reveals intricate insights into feline emotions and communication. This approach uncovers complex behavioural patterns, enhancing the accuracy of behavioural interpretation. This study significantly contributes to feline welfare and understanding of human-cat relationships. Highlighting the importance of nuanced approaches in animal behaviour studies provides practical insights for pet owners and veterinary professionals, aiding in better understanding and caring for cats.

Abstract:
Abstract This study conducts failure tests using a simulated specimen to investigate the effect of thermal aging on the deformation and failure behaviors of system, structure, and components (SSCs) of nuclear power plants (NPPs) made of cast austenitic stainless steels (CASSs) under excessive seismic loads. Both unaged and thermally aged CF8A CASSs were used for the experiment, and the large cyclic loads in the form of displacement-control and load-control were applied at a quasi-static displacement rate. Displacement-controlled tests were performed at room temperature (RT) and 316°C and load-controlled tests were performed at RT. The results show that the deformation behaviors of aged CF8A CASS under both types of cyclic load are almost the same as those of unaged CF8A CASS. The thermal aging slightly promotes the failure of CF8A CASS under displacement-controlled cyclic loads, but the failure of specimen still occurs under the cyclic load levels several times higher than the load of the design basis earthquake. Under load-controlled cyclic loads, thermal aging retards the failure of CF8A CASS. Consequently, the thermal aging has no apparent negative effect on the deformation and failure behaviors of CASSs under large cyclic loads, even if it considerably changes the strength, ductility, and fracture toughness of CASSs.

Full text
Abstract:
This report chronicles the work undertaken by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign to identify policies and design guidelines to plan for connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) in mid-sized regions in Illinois. The report starts with the goals of this work followed by a review of existing literature. The review addresses CAV technologies and scenario planning, including academic research articles, policies and guidance documents from federal and state agencies, and recent long-range transportation plans. The review findings are organized into three categories—drivers, levers, and impacts—to facilitate scenario-based planning and included key factors and trends in technology development and adoption (drivers), mechanisms that planners and policymakers may employ to intervene in or prepare for CAV futures (levers), and community-level outcomes of different plausible CAV futures (impacts). Primary research was undertaken first by interviewing practitioners in six mid-sized regions of Illinois to collect inputs about their needs and obstacles to planning for CAVs, as well as to understand their sense of their community’s preparedness for CAVs. The research team then conducted a detailed survey of over 700 residents from the Greater Peoria region to understand their would-be travel behavior and residential location decisions in a CAV future and general attitude toward self-driving cars. These inputs helped identify the key drivers, levers, and impacts to be employed in creating scenarios, a list of selected policies and design, and a framework to select appropriate responses based on the needs and desires of a community. The detailed scenarios are as follows: (1) continuation of the status quo, (2) private multimodal future, and (3) shared multimodal future. The policies and design guidelines are identified for each scenario and are categorized into six sets of action items: general, data and digitization, mobility and traffic, street design, infrastructure, and planning. Specific details of each action item are organized in a format that allows the user to consider each item carefully and to assess its feasibility in a specific region or city. The appendices include background documents related to primary research and, importantly, a handbook for practitioners.

Full text
Abstract:
Pipeline valve bodies, fittings, flanges, and numerous other components are typically made of cast or forged low-alloy steels. The large wall thicknesses necessitated by the complex shapes of these components usually are not conducive to ductile fracture behavior. Nevertheless, there is a distinct need to have sufficient toughness in such components so that they will not be susceptible to catastrophic failure from defects that may remain after manufacturing and hydrostatic testing. The present practice for controlling toughness in such components consists of specifying arbitrary values of Charpy energy or percentage shear area at a given temperature to be determined on a coupon of the material made in a manner similar to the parent cast or forged component. These values are usually decided by agreement between the purchaser and manufacturer. This report describes experimental research aimed at correlating typical impact tests to more fundamental fracture mechanics tests using various available correlations and to predict full-scale fracture behavior of heavy-walled pipeline components using the fracture mechanics parameters obtained. The components examined in this research task are: (1) a 4-inch, 600 pound class valve, (2) a quarter section of a 24-inch Arctic grade valve, and (3) a 16-inch diameter by 0.75-inch wall, 45 degree elbow. Small-scale tests conducted on the 4-inch valve material were standard Charpy V-notch impact, precracked Charpy impact, precracked Charpy slow bend, dynamic tear, and three-point bend - J/COD tests. Only Charpy V-notch impact and J/COD tests were performed on the 24- inch Arctic Grade valve and the 16-inch elbow. This report describes a conservative approach to estimating failure stresses and tolerable flaw sizes to predict brittle fracture in heavy-wall components.

Abstract:
Limitations in the human decision-making process restrict the technological potential of algorithms, which is also referred to as "algorithm aversion". This study uses a laboratory experiment with participants to investigate whether a phenomenon known since 1982 as the "decoy effect" is suitable for reducing algorithm aversion. For numerous analogue products, such as cars, drinks or newspaper subscriptions, the Decoy Effect is known to have a strong influence on human decision-making behaviour. Surprisingly, the decisions between forecasts by humans and Robo Advisors (algorithms) investigated in this study are not influenced by the Decoy Effect at all. This is true both a priori and after observing forecast errors.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent increases in political polarization in social media raise questions about the relationship between negative online messages and the decline in political trust around the world. To evaluate this claim causally, we implement a variant of the well-known trust game in a survey experiment with 4,800 respondents in Brazil and Mexico. Our design allows to test the effect of social media on trust and trustworthiness. Survey respondents alternate as agents (politicians) and principals (voters). Players can cast votes, trust others with their votes, and cast entrusted votes. The players rewards are contingent on their preferred “candidate” winning the election. We measure the extent to which voters place their trust in others and are themselves trustworthy, that is, willing to honor requests that may not benefit them. Treated respondents are exposed to messages from in-group or out-group politicians, and with positive or negative tone. Results provide robust support for a negative effect of uncivil partisan discourse on trust behavior and null results on trustworthiness. The negative effect on trust is considerably greater among randomly treated respondents who engage with social media messages. These results show that engaging with messages on social media can have a deleterious effect on trust, even when those messages are not relevant to the task at hand or not representative of the actions of the individuals involved in the game.

Abstract:
This work exploits augmented reality to safely train and validate autonomous vehicles’ performance in the real world under safety-critical scenarios. Toward this goal, we first develop algorithms that create virtual traffic participants with risky behaviors and seamlessly insert the virtual events into real images perceived from the physical world. The resulting composed images are photorealistic and physically grounded. The manipulated images are fed into the autonomous vehicle during testing, allowing the self-driving vehicle to react to such virtual events within either a photorealistic simulator or a real-world test track and real hardware systems. Our presented technique allows us to develop safe, hardware-in-the-loop, and cost-effective tests for self-driving cars to respond to immersive safety-critical traffic scenarios.

College student participants reported their individual interest, learned about a topic in ecology (Study 1, N = 85) and astronomy (Study 2, N = 184), responded to prompts for memory of the learning content and curiosity questions, and then had the opportunity to explore additional content related to the topic. In both studies individual interest interacted with whether students’ curiosity was triggered by particular content. In academic domains, individual interest in conjunction with curiosity may be the best predictor of continued behavioral exploration. The results are discussed in the context of the four-phase model of interest development.

Abstract:
This report describes the design, construction, and shaking table response and computation simulation of a Low Seismic-Damage Bridge Bent built using Accelerated Bridge Construction methods. The proposed bent combines precast post-tensioned columns with precast foundation and bent cap to simplify off- and on-site construction burdens and minimize earthquake-induced damage and associated repair costs. Each column consists of reinforced concrete cast inside a cylindrical steel shell, which acts as the formwork, and the confining and shear reinforcement. The column steel shell is engineered to facilitate the formation of a rocking interface for concentrating the deformation demands in the columns, thereby reducing earthquake-induced damage. The precast foundation and bent cap have corrugated-metal-duct lined sockets, where the columns will be placed and grouted on-site to form the column–beam joints. Large inelastic deformation demands in the structure are concentrated at the column–beam interfaces, which are designed to accommodate these demands with minimal structural damage. Longitudinal post-tensioned high-strength steel threaded bars, designed to respond elastically, ensure re-centering behavior. Internal mild steel reinforcing bars, debonded from the concrete at the interfaces, provide energy dissipation and impact mitigation.
