This study investigated the endocrine background of follicle size changes during post-weaning altrenogest treatment. altrenogest-treated sows received a 20-mg dosage daily at 8.00 a.m. from Day –1 to Day 14 after weaning. On Day –1, only 3/13 altrenogest-treated sows showed LH pulses compared with 8/8 control sows (P = 0.001). On Day 0, control sows showed a typical high frequency–low amplitude LH pattern, indicative for recruitment of oestrogenic follicles. In altrenogest-treated animals on Day 0, half of the sows showed high frequency–high amplitude pulses from 4–5 h after weaning. In altrenogest-treated sows, average follicle size increased from 3.1 ± 0.5 mm on Day 0 to 4.4 ± 0.6 mm on Day 5, then decreased to 3.7 ± 0.5 mm on Day 7 and stabilised thereafter. FSH and oestradiol (E2) concentrations showed a distinct diurnal pattern; high at 7.00 a.m. and low at 3.00 p.m. E2 concentrations (7.00 a.m.) showed a 2.5-fold increase from Day –1 to Day 2, and subsequently a 2-fold decline to reach a plateau at Day 8. FSH concentrations reached maximum levels by Day 5 and slowly declined afterwards. In conclusion, once-daily administration of altrenogest starting one day before weaning delays the weaning-induced increase in LH pulses. Although FSH and follicle size increase until Day 5 after weaning, follicle E2 production already decreased from Day 2 after weaning. Post-weaning altrenogest treatment thus results in a follicular wave of follicles that lose oestrogenic competence at Day 2 after weaning, presumably related to the changed LH dynamics during altrenogest treatment.

This paper presents a comparison work between the filtering methods of fatigue strain loadings using the frequency spectrum and the wavelet transform (WT), in which a raw loading signal can be simplified for purpose of simulation. For this reason, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the Morlet wavelet algorithms were used in order to transform the vibrational fatigue time series into the frequency domain signal, leading to the observation of the frequency characteristics of the signal. To retain high amplitude cycles in the FFT algorithm, a low pass filter technique was applied to remove the high frequency signals with small amplitude that are non-damaging. The departure of high frequency information smoothed the low amplitude cycles at high frequency events in the fatigue signal. The Butterworth filter was selected as the most efficient filter design as it retained most of the fatigue damage and also had the capability to remove 30 % of the original low amplitude cycles. On the other hand, the Morlet wavelet managed to remove 64 % of the original 59 second signal. This wavelet filtering method removed 34 % more than the similar procedure applied through the FFT approach. Hence, this fatigue data summarising algorithm can be used for studying the durability characteristics of automotive components.

HighlightsA visualization method for the motion of strawberry leaves in an air-assisted spray field is proposed.Strawberry leaves showed two motion states in different critical velocity ranges of the sprayer airflow.The airflow instability and the turbulence effect are considered important factors for the leaf vibrations.A strawberry leaf azimuth angle in the range of 90° to 270° can provide good deposition with smaller droplets.Abstract. The reasonable motion of crop plants in an air-assisted spray field can improve droplet deposition. Therefore, this study focuses on the motion of strawberry leaves and the droplet deposition mechanism in an air-assisted spray field. First, this study proposes a descriptive method for strawberry leaf motion in an air-assisted spray field and clarifies the important influence of strawberry leaf motion on droplet deposition. Second, an experiment was performed on the motion and droplet capture of single strawberry leaves in multi-position postures in an air-assisted spray field. The results showed that the leaves had two motion states (i.e., low amplitude with low frequency and high amplitude with high frequency) at different airflow velocities and inclination angles, and the critical airflow velocity corresponding to the two motion states was determined to be 8.7 m s-1. When the azimuth angle of the strawberry leaves is in the range of 90° to 270°, a reasonable inclination angle of the airflow and the high frequency and high amplitude vibration state of the leaves driven by the airflow will provide good deposition and canopy penetration of droplets with smaller diameters.

Abstract When the LH signal in the ram is changed from one of large and infrequent pulses to one of small and frequent pulses, the testes quickly become more responsive to LH and testosterone secretion is elevated, perhaps because the number and (or) binding affinity of testicular LH receptors have increased. An experiment was undertaken in the nonbreeding season (July) with 10 adult Dorset × Leicester × Suffolk rams that were about 3.5 years of age and 69 ± 2 kg in body weight. Rams were given injections into the jugular vein of either 5 μg NIH-LH-S24 (in 1 ml saline) or vehicle every 80 min for 6 days. LH treament produced a series of LH pulses that occurred three times more frequently and were 70% less in amplitude than pulses in the control rams, without causing mean LH concentration to increase. Endogenously produced LH pulses were not evident in the treated rams after LH injection began. The modified LH-pulse pattern elevated mean testosterone concentration by 150% (assessed on days 2 and 5), and caused the cumulative testosterone response to LH pulses, estimated by multiplying testosterone-pulse amplitude by frequency per 6 h, to increase progressively by 180% (days −2 through 5). Enhanced testicular steroidogenic activity, presumably due to greater enzymatic activity and cholesterol availability within Leydig cells, was not associated with increases in either the concentration or affinity of LH-binding sites in the testis (assessed on days 3 and 6).
