Development Of Wild Oat Seed Dispersal Distributions Using An Individual-Plant Growth Simulation Model, William J. Price, Bahman Shafii, Donald C. Thill
Development Of Wild Oat Seed Dispersal Distributions Using An Individual-Plant Growth Simulation Model, William J. Price, Bahman Shafii, Donald C. Thill
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
An individual-plant growth simulation model for quantifying competition between spring barley and wild oat has been previously described (price, Shafii, and Thill, 1994). Individual plants within a population were modeled independently and competition between plants was determined by resource demand within plant specific areas-of-influence. Calibration of the model to spring barley and wild oat biomass data was performed and shown to have a high degree of accuracy under mono culture conditions. The work presented here applies the specified model to a larger scale simulation for the purpose of demonstrating seed dispersal in wild oat. This is accomplished by breaking the …
Application Of Computer Intensive Methods To Evaluate The Performance Of A Sampling Design For Use In Cotton Insect Pest Management, J. L. Willers, W. L. Ladner, J. M. Mckinion, W. H. Cooke
Application Of Computer Intensive Methods To Evaluate The Performance Of A Sampling Design For Use In Cotton Insect Pest Management, J. L. Willers, W. L. Ladner, J. M. Mckinion, W. H. Cooke
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
A scouting protocol for cotton insect pests was developed which combines high resolution, multispectral remotely sensed imagery with a belt transect that crosses rows of cotton. Imagery was used to determine sample site selection while estimating plant bug abundance in a more than 200 ac. cotton field in 1997. Tarnished plant bug (Lygus lineolaris) counts were acquired using a standard drop cloth for each of eight rows along a transect. The sample data indicated that plant bug population densities spatially vary as a function of different spectral (color) classes present on the imagery. We postulate that such classified …
Using Nonlinear Growth Curves To Estimate Heat Stress In Processing Feedlot Cattle, A. M. Parkhurst, T. L. Mader
Using Nonlinear Growth Curves To Estimate Heat Stress In Processing Feedlot Cattle, A. M. Parkhurst, T. L. Mader
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Summertime heat waves cause excessive discomfort and, in extreme cases, death of feedlot cattle. During such emergencies, extension specialists are called upon for recommendations of management practices to minimize heat stress. Since moving cattle is believed to raise body temperature 1 degree, one recommendation is to move cattle before mid-day or reschedule to another day. More knowledge of body temperature dynamics could lead to more specific recommendations of how far cattle can be moved without stress. Several models are investigated - especially those involving exponential growth(challenge) and decay (recovery) such as the bi-exponential, single compartment and other models in pharmacokinetics. …
Point Estimators Of Heritability Based On Confidence Intervals: A Closed-Form Approximation To The Reml Estimator, Brent D. Burch, Ian R. Harris
Point Estimators Of Heritability Based On Confidence Intervals: A Closed-Form Approximation To The Reml Estimator, Brent D. Burch, Ian R. Harris
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Estimating heritability, the proportion of variation in phenotypic values due to (additive) genetic effects, is an important subject matter to plant and animal breeders alike. In most applications there is not an analytic expression for the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimator of heritability since it is obtained via an iterative procedure. The focus of this paper is to find a closed-form approximation to the REML estimator of heritability for those scenarios in which mixed linear models having two variance components are appropriate. This procedure is equivalent to constructing approximate pivotal quantities and thus confidence intervals for heritability. See Burch and …
Establishing Population And Individual Bioequivalence Confidence Intervals, Feng Yu, Linda J. Young, Gary R. Stevens
Establishing Population And Individual Bioequivalence Confidence Intervals, Feng Yu, Linda J. Young, Gary R. Stevens
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Average bioequivalence is used to assess pharmacokinetic properties of proposed generic drug before they are marketed. The limitations of average bioequivalence have led the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to propose the use of popUlation bioequivalence and individual bioequivalence. In this study, bootstrap confidence intervals were used to evaluate population bioequivalence and individual bioequivalence in the context of a 2 x 4 crossover experimental design. Two bioequivalence criteria were compared: the mean-squared difference criterion and a probability-based criterion. Simulations were conducted to study the properties of the bootstrap confidence intervals under each criterion in establishing population bioequivalence or individual bioequivalence. …
Application And Comparison Of Three Spatial Statistical Methods For Mapping And Analyzing Soil Erodibility, George Gertner, Guangxing Wang, Pablo Parysow, Alan Anderson
Application And Comparison Of Three Spatial Statistical Methods For Mapping And Analyzing Soil Erodibility, George Gertner, Guangxing Wang, Pablo Parysow, Alan Anderson
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is a model to predict longtime average annual soil loss, related to rainfall-runoff, soil erodibility, slope length and steepness, cover management, and support practice. The soil erodibility factor K accounts for the influence of soil properties on soil loss during storm events in upland areas.
In this paper, ordinary kriging, sequential Gaussian and indicator simulation methods were used and compared for spatial prediction and uncertainty analysis of soil erodibility based on a data set from a very intensive soil survey (524 observations, 10 m by 10 m grid). Half the data was used …
Yield Prediction In 60ft2 Grids, S. Aref, D. G. Bullock
Yield Prediction In 60ft2 Grids, S. Aref, D. G. Bullock
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Large detailed yield databases incorporating GPS makes it possible to predict yield on a small scale. The objective of this study was to determine how closely yield could be predicted in grids of 60-ft2 units. Com and soybean yields were averaged to the 60-ft2 grid. The yields were modeled on previous yields, soil fertility, soil type, and terrain variables. Soil fertility variables were kriged from a I-acre grid to the 60-ft2 grid. Terrain data and soil type data were available at the same scale. Multiple regression models and models with spatial correlation determined from yield semivariograms differed …
Exploring Factors Affecting Atrazine Concentration In The Big Blue River Basin, Steven R. Kirby, Linda J. Young
Exploring Factors Affecting Atrazine Concentration In The Big Blue River Basin, Steven R. Kirby, Linda J. Young
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Atrazine is a herbicide commonly used on corn and sorghum. Consumption of atrazine adversely affects humans. Environmental factors are related to atrazine concentration in the surface waters of the Big Blue River Basin using regression techniques. The usefulness of environmental factors as predictors of surface water atrazine contamination appears to depend on the time period.
Analysis Of The Allelopathic Potential Of Rice Using K-Means Clustering Of Hplc Chromatograms, Edward E. Gbur, John D. Mattice, Robert H. Dilday
Analysis Of The Allelopathic Potential Of Rice Using K-Means Clustering Of Hplc Chromatograms, Edward E. Gbur, John D. Mattice, Robert H. Dilday
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Allelopathy is the ability of an organism to affect the growth of another organism through the introduction of chemical compounds into the environment. Several researchers have reported rice inhibition of the growth of weed species such as barnyard grass and ducksalad. The objective of this study was to relate patterns found in HPLC chromatograms for leaf extracts of different rice accessions to their weed control activity. K-means cluster analysis was performed on 20 peak heights from chromatograms from 40 rice accessions. The resulting clusters corresponded to observed behavior of the accessions reported in other sources. Stepwise discriminant analysis was used …
An Introduction To Model Selection For Quantitative Trait Locus Analysis In Polyploids, R. W. Doerge, Bruce A. Craig
An Introduction To Model Selection For Quantitative Trait Locus Analysis In Polyploids, R. W. Doerge, Bruce A. Craig
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Substantial gains have been made in locating regions of agricultural genomes associated with characteristics, diseases, and agroeconomic traits. These gains have relied heavily on the ability to estimate the association between DNA markers and regions of a genome (quantitative trait loci or QTL) related to a particular trait. The majority of these advances have focused on diploid species (two homologous chromosomes per set), even though many important agricultural crops are, in fact, polyploid (more than two homologous chromosomes per set). The purpose of our work is to initiate an algorithmic approach for model selection and QTL detection in polyploid species. …
A Fertilizer-Rate Experiment Involving Young Citrus Trees: Does More Fertilizer Mean Higher Producing Trees?, John A. Cornell
A Fertilizer-Rate Experiment Involving Young Citrus Trees: Does More Fertilizer Mean Higher Producing Trees?, John A. Cornell
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Citrus growers are interested in making money. So, the most common practice among growers is to push young trees into early production by the application of high amounts (rates) of fertilizer. This practice can lead to disaster in terms of tree formation (canopy shape) and production stress. In contrast, when the applied fertilizer approaches both the optimum rate and the optimum N -P -K -Ca ratio for citrus, then the trees are more uniform in size and with compact canopies and the incidence of decline is less. Cordieropolis station in Sao Paula, Brazil, is the site of a large 3-component …

The Age Of The Woolly Rhino From Dream Cave, Derbyshire, Uk, Donald A. Mcfarlane, Joyce Lundberg, Derek C. Ford
WM Keck Science Faculty Papers
The Dream Cave woolly rhinoceros, Coelodonta antiquitatis, is a "classic" specimen of a "cold-stage" fossil fauna from central England. The find was illustrated and described by Dean William Buckland in his seminal tome Reliquiae Diluvianae (1823) during the first half of the 19th century, and made a significant contribution to the development of Buckland's views on the origin of extinct and extirpated fossil vertebrates. The report presents the first, albeit indirect, radiometric dates on the specimen, and argues that the animal fell into the cave just before 37,000 years BP, during the middle of Marine Isotope Stage 3 Interstadial (41 …
