Supplementing sunflower seeds can lower ort production possibly due to the seed’s nutritional content or manipulating the seed as enrichment. Orts have also been found to have less energetic content than the starting diet. We hypothesized that ort production and content would differ based on nutritional treatment. Twenty-four cages of mice (Crl;CD1; 12 male: 12 female, 4 mice/cage), were randomly allocated to a treatment: control, sunflower seeds (50g), or pelleted seed diet (25g). Baseline orts were determined over 3 weeks (baseline) then treatments were provided for 3 weeks (during). Treatments were removed (after) and cages monitored for another 3 weeks. Orts were weighed each week. The difference from baseline was calculated during and after treatment provision. Bomb calorimetry determined ort cal/g. Data were analyzed as a GLM. Ort production increased in cages supplemented with the pelleted seed diet compared to controls (F2,21=3.72; P=0.04). Ort production increased in seed-like diets after treatments were removed. Sex did not influence ort weight (P>0.05). Ort cal/g was the same across all treatments (F2,18=0.36; P=0.70). In this study, mice ground more when supplemented with pellets similar in nutrition to sunflower seeds, but the orts energy content did not differ between treatments. The mice may be grinding regular diet to gain access to the seed- like pellets. Future research could provide diets in different feeders to determine if grinding occurs when given free access to supplemental feed.

One such utilization is to process image data, which was previously manually processed. The aim of this study was to explore the possibility of implementing such technology to support agricultural researches. With images from Purdue University Controlled Environment Phenotyping Facility, masked RCNN models to detect spikes were trained. The training data were obtained in a standard controlled environment with identical target center position and photo angle to yield similar area of interest for every picture. As the result, the models have good performances recognizing plants from images obtained in the same facility, yielding a mAP (mean average precision) of 85.51% at peak, which later becomes a convenient tool for researchers to analyze the image data. However, for other spike images from the internet or from the field, the performance would be unsatisfying. Large number of objects cannot be detected or recognized as expected. The mAP was less than ten per cent. The main reason leading to this result is that the classifier was fully trained over the lab images. Despite the poor performance on internet images, for our current purposes of only implementing masked RCNN within the facility, it would be enough. The team is considering expanding the training data sets by including more images from the field, so that the functionality of the model would not be limited to only the facility Research Mentor: Augusto Cesar Magalhaes de Souza, Digital phenotyping Yang Yang, Oral Presentation Abstract Number: 4 :: Life Sciences College of Agriculture The Role of a Putative Amino Acid Transporter in Nitrogen Response in Arabidopsis thaliana Author: Wenyi Ran, Agriculture Abstract: Abstract Redacted Research Mentor: Ying Li, Horticulture & Landscape Architecture Russell Julian, Horticulture & Landscape Architecture Oral Presentation Abstract Number: 5 :: Social Sciences/Humanities College of Agriculture Measuring Interest and Engagement in Extension Programming Author: Ashley Rosenkrans, College of Agriculture Danielle Marks, College of Agriculture Abstract: In extension programming, it is crucial to use evidence-based methods to optimize participant learning. However, there is limited implementable strategies to review and quantify programming impact on participants. The objective of our study was to evaluate and describe participant interest and engagement in the inaugural offering of the Shell Egg Academy. We randomly selected eight sessions (25-40 participants/session) across 16 total offerings and evaluated participant engagement, interest, and motivation. Instructor (n = 8) teaching type was recorded during each of the sessions and each instructor taught only one session. A questionnaire was administered immediately following each session and contained Likert-style questions to evaluate interest, motivation, and self-reported engagement. Sessions were recorded and reviewed using the Behavioral Engagement Related to Instruction protocol. Overall, instructors selected lecture as the primary instructional tool, providing little variation in teaching strategies. Participant situational interest, including exploration intention, instant enjoyment, and attention demand was moderate to high during each session. Intrinsic motivation and identified regulation were also moderate to high during the sessions, indicating that participants felt a personal importance and natural enjoyment in participation. Participant engagement did not differ between sessions. This study is one of the first to describe participant interest and motivation on engagement in extension programming. Additional work is needed to better understand the impact of adopting different instructional strategies to programming in order to maximize participant experience and build evidence-based program evaluation practices.

It is important to have a solid understanding of the genes that are responsible for the synthesis of certain metabolites. With this information in hand, we will have the capability to unlock higher plant productivity, develop new strategies to protect plants from stressors, and develop new plant-based products. This project applies isotopic labeling and mutant strategies to identify amino acid-derived metabolites in Arabidopsis and then apply Genome-Wide Association (GWA) to characterize the genes responsible for their synthesis. We will isotopically identify amino acid-derived specialized metabolites in Arabidopsis by feeding wild type Arabidopsis tissues with 13C and 12C labeled amino acids. A computational pipeline will then be used to identify metabolic features that are derived from the labeled amino acids. This project aims to classify metabolites based on the precursor-of-origin to provide the function of annotated genes that are associated with plant metabolism.

Hi I am James (Mckenzie) Stanton Thinker / Designer / Engineer / Director / Executive / Artist / Human / Practitioner / Gardner / Builder / and much more... Born in Essex, United Kingdom and survived a few hair raising moments and learnt digital from the ground up. Ok enough of the pleasantries I have been working in the design field since 1999 from the Falmouth School of Art and onwards to the RCA, and many companies. Ok. less about me and more about what I have seen… Today we are going to cover - SCREENS CONCEPTS - DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION - WHY ASSETS LIBRARIES - CODE LIBRARIES - COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR IMPLEMENTATION I know, I know, I know. That's all good and well, but what does this all mean to a company like mine? We are about to see a massive change in consumer behavior so let's get ready. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AS A USP Getting this correct will change your company forever. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION USP-01 Digital transformation (DT) – the use of technology to radically improve performance or reach of enterprises – is becoming a hot topic for companies across the globe. VERY DIGITAL CHANGING NOT VERY DIGITAL DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION USP-02 Companies face common pressures from customers, employees and competitors to begin or speed up their digital transformation. However they are transforming at different paces with different results.

Gougha, Emily L. Connallyb, Peter Howellc, David Wardd, ⁎ Jennifer Chestersb, Kate E. Watkinsb, a Department of Psychology, Maynooth University, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland b Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3UD, UK c Department of Psychology, University College London, Bedford Way, London, WC1E 6BT, UK d School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences, University of Reading, Harry Pitt Building, Earley Gate, Reading, RG6 7BE, UK ABSTRACT Purpose: Previous studies have reported that the planum temporale – a language-related struc- ture that normally shows a leftward asymmetry – had reduced asymmetry in people who stutter (PWS) and reversed asymmetry in those with severe stuttering. These findings are consistent with the theory that altered language lateralization may be a cause or consequence of stuttering. Here, we re-examined these findings in a larger sample of PWS. Methods: We evaluated planum temporale asymmetry in structural MRI scans obtained from 67 PWS and 63 age-matched controls using: 1) manual measurements of the surface area; 2) voxel- based morphometry to automatically calculate grey matter density. We examined the influences of gender, age, and stuttering severity on planum temporale asymmetry. Results: The size of the planum temporale and its asymmetry were not different in PWS compared with Controls using either the manual or the automated method. Both groups showed a sig- nificant leftwards asymmetry on average (about one-third of PWS and Controls showed right- ward asymmetry).

No.: R52173/RE001 Version 1.0 Date 15th September 2017 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR SPEECH RESEARCH Researchers at the Department of Experimental Psychology University of Oxford are seeking healthy fluent speaking male participants for a study investigating stuttering. Volunteers should be male, aged 18-45 years, and native English speakers. You will be asked questions about your medical history to check your suitability for an MRI scan and brain stimulation. The study involves MRI scanning of the brain and vocal tract, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which will take place during one or two visits to the OHBA Centre at the Warneford Hospital in Oxford. MRI gives very detailed pictures of structure and function. TMS is used here to measure the excitability of the brain areas involved in speech production. These methods are non-invasive and do not involve ionising radiation. We will reimburse volunteers for their time and cover reasonable travel expenses.
