It is confirmed that cats are susceptible to productive SARS-CoV-2 infection, but are unlikely to develop clinical disease, and that cats developed a robust neutralizing antibody response that prevented reinfection following a second viral challenge.

The results showcase the combination of fast quantum control and robustness against errors, which is intrinsic to stabilized macroscopic states, as well as the potential of of these states as resources in quantum information processing.

It is concluded that, in general, it is better for veterinarians to treat suspected pain first rather than consider its significance only when the animal does not respond to behavior therapy, which is seriously limiting the recognition of this welfare problem.

A new attention mechanism in Transformer is proposed termed Cross Attention, which alternates attention inner the image patch instead of the whole image to capture local information and apply attention between image patches which are divided from single-channel feature maps to capture global information.

It is indicated that ~118-150 million cats worldwide serve as definitive hosts of Toxocara, shedding eggs and thus contributing to the public health risk of human infection, and should receive greater attention by health officials and cat owners, particularly in countries where risk factors and prevalence are highest.

By following a scheme for concatenated error correction, it is shown that the availability of bias-preserving CX gates with moderately sized cats improves a rigorous lower bound on the fault-tolerant threshold by a factor of two and decreases the overhead in logical Clifford operations by a factors of five.

Insight is provided into the interplay between enzyme and genome evolution in the origins, loss, and re-emergence of plant chemical diversity in the Nepeta lineage.

Dietary changes, addition of prebiotics, and probiotics, can be beneficial to improve microbial diversity and to normalize metabolite production in diseased dogs.

The code capacity threshold for error correction using biased-noise qubits is known to be higher than with qubits without such structured noise. However, realistic circuit-level noise severely restricts these improvements. This is because gate operations, such as a controlled-NOT (CX) gate, which do not commute with the dominant error, unbias the noise channel. Here, we overcome the challenge of implementing a bias-preserving CX gate using biased-noise stabilized cat qubits in driven nonlinear oscillators. This continuous-variable gate relies on nontrivial phase space topology of the cat state...

A unique genotype (ToxoDB genotype #9 or Chinese 1) is widely prevalent in cats in China and it has been epidemiologically linked to outbreaks of clinical toxoplasmosis in pigs and deaths in humans in China; this genotype has rarely been detected in other countries.

Recommendations for handling fearful animals to minimise aggressive responses are discussed and desensitisation and counterconditioning are highly recommended, both to prevent and address existing negative emotions.

These Guidelines are aimed at general practitioners to assist in the assessment, prevention and management of acute pain in feline patients, and to provide a practical guide to selection and dosing of effective analgesic agents.

The objective of these guidelines is to make the anesthesia period as safe as possible for dogs and cats while providing a practical framework for delivering anesthesia care.

These updated guidelines present a practical and logical approach to the assessment and management of acute and chronic pain in canine and feline patients, and include a tiered decision tree that prioritizes the use of the most efficacious therapeutic modalities for the treatment of chronic pain.

This paper presents an in-depth survey and performance evaluation of cat swarm optimization (CSO) algorithm. CSO is a robust and powerful metaheuristic swarm-based optimization approach that has received very positive feedback since its emergence. It has been tackling many optimization problems, and many variants of it have been introduced. However, the literature lacks a detailed survey or a performance evaluation in this regard. Therefore, this paper is an attempt to review all these works, including its developments and applications, and group them accordingly. In addition, CSO is tested on...

According to quantum mechanics, a physical system can be in any linear superposition of its possible states. Although the validity of this principle is routinely validated for microscopic systems, it is still unclear why we do not observe macroscopic objects to be in superpositions of states that can be distinguished by some classical property. Here we demonstrate the preparation of a mechanical resonator in Schrödinger cat states of motion, where the ∼10 17 constituent atoms are in a superposition of two opposite-phase oscillations. We control the size and phase of the superpositions and inve...

It is demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 has infected cats in Wuhan during the outbreak and serum antibody dynamics in cats are described, providing an important reference for clinical treatment and prevention of COVID-19.
