Abstract:
Practical relevance: Cats are descended from a solitary, territorial ancestor, and while domestication has reduced their inherited tendency to be antagonistic towards all animals larger than their typical prey, they still place more reliance on the security of their territory than on psychological attachments to people or other cats, the exact opposite to dogs. Many feline problem behaviours stem from perceived threats to this security, often due to conflicts with other cats. Others are more developmental in origin, often caused by inadequate exposure to crucial stimuli, especially people, during the socialisation period. Strongly aversive events experienced at any age can also contribute. A third category comprises normal behaviour that owners deem unacceptable, such as scratching of furniture. Evidence base: This review identifies three areas in which basic research is inadequate to support widely employed concepts and practices in feline behavioural medicine. First, classification of cats’ problem behaviours relies heavily on approaches derived from studies of their behavioural ecology and, to some extent, extrapolation from canine studies. Few studies have focused on cats in the home, the environment in which most behavioural disorders are expressed. Secondly, cats’ chemical senses (olfactory and vomeronasal) are far more sensitive than our own, making it difficult for owners or clinicians to fully comprehend the sensory information upon which they base their behaviour. Thirdly, although the concept of psychological distress is widely invoked as an intervening variable in behavioural disorders, there are still no reliable measures of distress for pet cats in the home. Global importance: Psychological distress of some kind is the primary cause of many of the behavioural problems presented to clinicians, but surveys indicate that many more cats display the same clinical signs without their owners ever seeking help. The welfare of this ‘invisible’ group could be improved by veterinarians taking a more proactive approach to educating their clients about the behavioural needs of pet cats.

Abstract:
Feline social behaviour is frequently misunderstood by owners, which can lead to people not meeting the species-specific needs of their cats (Felis sylvestris catus). Despite the fact that cats are adaptable and can at times form social bonds with other cats, it should not be forgotten that cats are not obligate social animals and as a result, regularly suffer from chronic stress associated with close, often forced, proximity to other cats. Cats are predators, but are also, being relatively small, preyed upon and thus are adept at hiding signs of stress. Therefore, subtle signs of conflict with other cats, both within the same household and in the local neighbourhood, are easily and frequently missed by the cat's owner. Veterinary practices are ideally placed to provide education on cats' needs, improve cat welfare and, where necessary, to refer to a Clinical Animal Behaviourist registered with the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC).

Abstract:
Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of a 4.7 mg deslorelin implant in tom cats. Methods Nine mature male cats were included in the deslorelin group and five cats in the control group. Before the study started, all cats were confirmed to have distinct sexually dimorphic behaviour. Blood samples were taken on the implantation day, at day 7 and at day 15, then monthly, in order to measure serum dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and 17beta(β)-oestradiol concentrations. The deslorelin group (n = 9) was divided into two subgroups: five cats (cats 1–5) were neutered in the postimplantation period during suppression of sexually dimorphic behaviour, and four cats (cats 6–9) were neutered after re-expression of sexually dimorphic behaviour. The control group cats (n = 5) were castrated without administration of the implant. Results Sexually dimorphic behaviours ceased within a mean ± SD of 13–58 days (23.30 ± 14.17) after implantation. DHT concentration decreased within 30 days. The mean duration of suppression was 26.5 ± 7.42 months and reactivation coincided with increased DHT values reaching preimplantation concentrations within 1 month. 17β-oestradiol concentrations significantly correlated with DHT concentrations ( P <0.01). For cats castrated during suppression of sexual behaviour, the length of the long axes of the nuclei of Leydig cells, the diameter of seminiferous tubules and the height of the epithelium of the seminiferous tubules did not change until 3–6 months after implantation, whereas at 12 and 32 months the measured values were even lower than in the control group. For cats castrasted after reactivation, the length of long axes of the nuclei of Leydig cells and the diameter of seminiferous tubules approached the values of the control group between 4 and 6 months after reactivation. Conclusions and relevance A deslorelin implant (4.7 mg) suppresses sexually dimorphic behaviour in tom cats without any side effects and with full reversibility; however, duration of suppression is highly individual.

Abstract:
Domestic cats (Felis catus) are popular pets worldwide and play an important role in the lives of many of their owners; however, there is growing awareness of the potential negative impacts of cats. Accordingly, there is increasing interest in pet cat management, including changing the attitudes and behaviours of cat owners. The Cat Tracker citizen science project was conducted in South Australia to better understand domestic cats, their movement, and related community views. The project was deliberately designed to engage cat owners and assist them to make informed decisions about the management of their pet cats. The project collected data through an online social survey (n = 3192) and GPS tracking of pet cats (n = 428), conducted between February 2015 and September 2016. A public report was published in February 2017 and an evaluation survey (n = 410) was conducted between March and May 2017. This study evaluates the project and examines its impact on participant knowledge, attitude, and behaviour. We found that participation in the tracking activity had a statistically significant influence on participant-reported learning. For participant cat owners, we recorded statistically significant increases in the level of importance placed on containing cats (both during the day and at night). Participants reported that they changed their behaviour with existing pet cats and reported intentions to change behaviour with future pet cats. We discuss impacts beyond what we set out to measure, including impacts on project onlookers, profound impacts on participants, and how the rebound effect (which can generate negative impacts) may be avoided. We describe social science applied to citizen science and advocate for further research in this area to understand how projects can drive positive changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours.

Abstract:
Commonly reported refractoriness in feline cases of inappropriate urination, in spite of well established diagnosis schema and therapeutic regimens, emphasizes the need for reviewing traditional concepts and conducts. A case-control study with 18 "sprayer" and 23 "toileter" cats, and their respective controls from the same multi-cat households (3-9 cats), was performed to investigate the following aspects: disease, stress, personality, emotionality and social behaviour. A high prevalence of medical problems, including some alterations of the upper urinary tract, was equally found among "sprayers" and "toileters". Cystoscopy of female participant cats led to a probable diagnosis of interstitial cystitis in one "sprayer" and one "toileter". Unreliable values concerning plama bioamines restricted our understanding of the cats emotionality, but faecal glucocorticoid levels indicated that cats from spraying households ("sprayers" and their controls) were more aroused (probably more stressed) than cats from the toileting households. Cat owners were not consistent in their opinions with regard to personality but their more direct observations in respect to inter-cat relationships indicated that neither spraying nor toileting was associated with cats´ social behaviour or status. About recorded behaviours, no differences were seen between cases and "controls" from either of the groups. However, proportionally more time spent moving (as opposed to stationary) by cats from spraying houses might have reflected the higher arousal states of the former. Results reiterate the importance of medical check-ups in any case of inappropriate urination. Furthermore, they suggest spraying as a feline attempt to cope in highly stressful environments.
Relatos comuns de refratariedade em casos de micção inapropriada em gatos, a despeito do esquema bem estabelecido de diagnóstico e regimes terapêuticos, enfatiza a necessidade de rever os conceitos tradicionais e condutas. Um estudo do tipo caso-controle com 18 gatos "sprayers" (manifestadores de marcação urinária) e 23 "toileters" (exibidores de micção fora da caixa sanitária), e seus respectivos controles oriundos das mesmas residências de mutiplos gatos (3-9 gatos), foi realizado para investigar os seguintes aspectos: doença, estresse, personalidade, emotividade, e comportamento social. A alta prevalência de problemas médicos, incluindo algumas alterações do trato urinário superior, foi igualmente encontrada entre os "sprayers" e "toileters". Cistoscopia realizada em fêmeas participantes da pesqusa levou ao provável diagnóstico de cistite intersticial em uma gata "sprayer" e uma "toileter". Valores não confiáveis de bioaminas plasmáticas restringiram nossa compreensão da emotividade dos gatos, mas os níveis de glicocorticóides fecais indicaram que os gatos das casas "spraying" ("sprayers" e seus controles), mostraram-se mais agitados (provavelmente mais estressados) do que os gatos das casas "toileting". Os proprietarios não se mostraram consistentes nas suas opiniões em relação à personalidade dos seus gatos, mas suas observações diretas a respeito das relações gato-gato indicaram que nem o "spraying" tampouco o "toileting" mostrou-se associado ao comportamento social e status do gato. Em relação aos comportamentos registrados em vídeo, não foram observadas diferenças entre "casos e "controles " em nenhum dos grupos. Entretanto, o maior tempo gasto movendo (proporcionalmente ao em estado estacionário) por gatos das casas "spraying" em comparação com aqueles das casas "toileting" pode ter refletido os estados mais elevados de excitação dos primeiros. Os resultados reiteram a importância dos "check-ups" médicos em qualquer caso de micção inapropriada. Além disso, sugere-se a marcação urinária como uma tentativa do felino para lidar em ambientes altamenteestressantes.

Abstract:
In einem 45 ha großen Untersuchungsgebiet in der Innenstadt von Berlin wurden von Februar 1996 bis Juni 1999 alle dort vorkommenden verwilderten Katzen erfaßt. Wir untersuchten Alter- und Geschlechtsverteilung, Populationsdichte und -stabilität, Reproduktions- und Mortalitätsraten, Gesundheitsstatus, Territorialverhalten, Ver- wandtschaftsbeziehungen und den Einfluß der Kastration auf das individuelle Verhal- ten der Katzen und die Entwicklung der Population. Insgesamt wurden 75 Tiere in- nerhalb von 42 Monaten beobachtet. Im Untersuchungsgebiet waren gleichzeitig je- weils 25-32 Tiere ansässig, außerdem wurden durchschnittlich 10 Durchzügler pro Jahr registriert. Die ansässigen Katzen lebten in 2 genetisch differenzierten Teilpopu- lationen. Unkastrierte Kater hatten größere Streifgebiete (20-66 ha) als kastrierte Ka- ter, kastrierte und unkastrierte Katzen sowie Jungtiere (0,5-7,5 ha). Die Mortalität der ansässigen Katzen betrug 25 % pro Jahr. Vakante Streifgebiete wurden durch eige- ne Nachkommen aufgefüllt. Die Anzahl unkastrierter adulter Kater im Untersu- chungsgebiet blieb über die gesamte Zeit konstant, Kastration und Tod von Deckka- tern wurde durch Einwanderung fremder Kater kompensiert. Nach Kastration aller weiblicher Katzen einer Teilpopulation sank die Populationsdichte trotz signifikant höherer Zuwanderung fremder Tiere.
In a 45 ha study area of Berlin city all cats were studied between February 1996 and June 1999. We investigated age and sex composition, population density and stabil- ity, rates of reproduction and mortality, health status, territorial behaviour, kinship re- lation, and the influence of neutering on individual behaviour and population devel- opment. Altogether we observed 75 cats within 42 months. 25 to 35 cats lived simul- taneously in the study area, additionally we found 10 transient animals per year on average. The resident cats lived in two genetically distinct subpopulations. Uncas- trated adult males had larger home ranges (20-66 ha) than castrated males, cas- trated and uncastrated females and subadult cats (0,5-7,5 ha). Mortality rate of resi- dent cats was 25 % per year. Vacancies were filled by own kittens. The number of uncastrated adult tomcats was constant throughout the study period, castration and death of stud males were compensated by immigration of unknown tomcats. After the castration of all females in one subpopulation population density declined, even though immigration of unknown cats increased significantly.

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:
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.

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.

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 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.

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:
Magnetic responsive materials can be used in a variety of applications. For structural applications, the ability to create tunable moduli from relatively soft materials with applied electromagnetic stimuli can be advantageous for light-weight protection. This study investigated magnetorheological composite materials involving carbonyl iron particles (CIP) embedded into two different systems. The first material system was a model cementitious system of CIP and kaolinite clay dispersed in mineral oil. The magnetorheological behaviors were investigated by using parallel plates with an attached magnetic accessory to evaluate deformations up to 1 T. The yield stress of these slurries was measured by using rotational and oscillatory experiments and was found to be controllable based on CIP loading and magnetic field strength with yield stresses ranging from 10 to 104 Pa. The second material system utilized a polystyrene-butadiene rubber solvent-cast films with CIP embedded. The flexible matrix can stiffen and become rigid when an external field is applied. For CIP loadings of 8% and 17% vol %, the storage modulus response for each loading stiffened by 22% and 74%, respectively.
