G04-1537 Wind Erosion And Its Control, Drew J. Lyon, John A. Smith
G04-1537 Wind Erosion And Its Control, Drew J. Lyon, John A. Smith
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses how wind erosion occurs and presents methods for reducing wind erosion on land devoted to crop production. Wind erosion is widespread on agricultural land in the Great Plains, particularly in the semi-arid regions. Wind erosion physically removes the most fertile part of the soil (organic matter, clay, and silt) and lowers soil productivity. This loss in productivity increases the costs of producing crops. Blowing soil can reduce seedling survival and growth, depress crop yields, and increase the susceptibility of plants to certain types of stress, including diseases.

Nf04-595 Surveillance For Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, David R. Smith, Dicky D. Griffin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Veterinarians should consider BSE in their list of diagnostic differentials when cattle exhibit signs of behavioral changes, ataxia, or recumbency.
Nf04-593 Understanding How Usda-Fsis Determines The Age Of Cattle For Current Bse Regulations, Dicky D. Griffin, David R. Smith
Nf04-593 Understanding How Usda-Fsis Determines The Age Of Cattle For Current Bse Regulations, Dicky D. Griffin, David R. Smith
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebFact discusses the key points used by USDA-FSIS veterinary inspectors to classify cattle as being under or over 30 months of age. Age helps determine which carcasses will be segregated for removal of "specified risk materials" associated with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).

Nf04-591 What Is Genetic Engineering And How Does It Work?, Patricia M. Hain, Julie A. Albrecht, Douglas A. Golick
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Genetic engineering is the process of manually adding new DNA to an organism.
G04-1542 Planning An Intergenerational™ Dialogue, Laverne Barrett, Andrea J. Gage
G04-1542 Planning An Intergenerational™ Dialogue, Laverne Barrett, Andrea J. Gage
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Intergenerational Dialogues can help communities address important issues. This NebGuide offers guidance.
The Intergenerational™Dialogue
An Intergenerational™Dialogue is usually a one-day, six-hour event that allows the five living generations to come together to create an action plan to address a specific community issue. When all age groups of the community are involved in problem solving, it is easier to gain solution commitment and a greater response to planned action. Does this sound too good to be true? The following is a descriptive outline for planning an Intergenerational Dialogue in a community. The basis for the NebGuide is the work completed by …

Design Languages, Notation Systems, And Instructional Technology, Sandie Waters, Andrew Gibbons
Design Languages, Notation Systems, And Instructional Technology, Sandie Waters, Andrew Gibbons
Sandie H Waters
Notational systems, used in mature fields of study, are closely related to design languages. The future of a technological field depends on the ability to communicate ideas and changes with others in the field. Instructional technology is one field that can benefit from a notation system enabling designers to duplicate, execute, and communicate their ideas. In this paper, we look at several mature fields, including chemistry, musicology, and choreography, to discover elements where a mature design language and notation system have developed. We illustrate a number of dimensions that can help designers form their design languages and select the characteristics …
