Comparison of bandaging and elevation of the claw for the treatment of foot lameness in dairy cows

Objective
To compare the effectiveness of three treatments for sole injuries in dairy cows and to evaluate the ease and speed of applying the treatments.
Design
A randomised clinical trial.
Procedure
The three forms of treatment were elevating the affected claw of a lame cow with a wooden block glued to the unaffected claw (39 cows), elevating the affected claw with a rubberised shoe glued to the unaffected claw (42 cows) or applying a padded bandage to the whole foot of a lame cow (31 cows).
Results
the percentages of cows that recovered from lameness at 3 and 7 days after treatment were significantly higher for cows treated with wooden blocks (P = 0.013 and P = 0.008) or rubberised shoes (P = 0.026 and P = 0.0003) than padded bandages. Cows treated with blocks had a recovery rate of 48.7% at day three and 65.8% at day seven, and cows treated with rubberised shoes, rates of 45.2% and 76.2%, respectively. Cows which had a bandage applied to the foot had recovery rates of 19.4% at day three and 32.3% at day seven. However, by day 14, there was no significant difference in recovery rate between the three treatments. Rubberised shoes were shown to offer a number of advantages over wooden blocks. The shoes were significantly quicker to attach than blocks (median of 9.5 minutes compared with 14.0 minutes, P < 0.0001) and remained on the claw longer (57.1% of rubberised shoes remained at 30 days compared to 30.8% of blocks, P = 0.025). The rubberised shoes also offered an advantage over wooden blocks for operator safety and health by reduing contact between the potantially hazardous adhesive used to attach both devices and the skin of the person applying the device.
Conclusions
Rubberised shoes are a superior method of elevating an affected claw in conditions of lameness likely to respond to removal of weightbearing forces.

GFRP加固木结构规格材抗弯力学性能及可靠性研究

将有限元分析和无损检测方法用于木结构规格材的可靠度研究,分析不同贴面工艺参数对玻璃纤维增强规格材抗弯力学性能和可靠度的影响,可以为木结构强度分级、可靠性计算及优化设计提供科学的方法。采用正交试验设计方法,分析贴面厚度、施胶量和贴面尺寸对玻璃纤维布增强落叶松规格材力学性能和可靠度的影响。研究表明:1）各工艺参数对玻璃纤维布增强落叶松规格材MOE的影响顺序为:纤维布贴面厚度<施胶量<贴面尺寸,当玻璃纤维布贴面尺寸不到规格材试件长度的1/4时,MOE的下降幅度较大。2）在可靠度满足96%以上的条件下,最佳贴面参数为贴面厚度3 mm,施胶量125 g/m²,贴面尺寸为1/2。3）通过可靠性分析结果表明素材在425 N载荷下挠度<0.003 L的概率是9%,而贴玻璃纤维布后可靠度平均达到53.8%;<0.005 L的概率是71.6%,而贴玻璃纤维布后可靠度达到97.3%,粘贴玻璃纤维布可以显著增加木结构规格材的可靠度。

中国木质家具出口的二元边际及其影响因素分析

木质家具出口在中国木质林产品出口贸易中占据重要地位。对1996-2015年中国与15个主要木质林产品贸易伙伴的木质家具出口数据进行二元边际分解并对其影响因素进行分析,结果表明:中国木质家具出口贸易的增加几乎完全来自集约边际的贡献;集约边际与目的地市场规模和多边阻力呈正相关,与可变贸易成本和相对劳动生产率负相关;加入世贸组织对集约边际的提升有促进作用。文中结合实证分析结果和木质家具贸易面临的新形势提出了具有针对性的对策和建议。
