G90-1006 Setting Up A Family Council, Herbert G. Lingren

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

A family sitting down together and talking about important thoughts, situations, and issues is certainly not a new idea--it has been practiced for centuries. It is an idea, however, that needs to be put to work in the present day.

1. Do you treat your child better, worse or about the same as you treat your best friend?

2. Does your child have equal status as a person with the adults in your family?

3. Do you assign chores and times to do them, or does your child help in the planning?

4. Do you try to make decisions about …

Cause, symptoms of and conditions for powdery mildew are covered, as well as ways to control the disease.

The rose is one of the most popular flowering ornamentals in the world. It is thought to have first been cultivated 4,000 to 5,000 years ago in northern Africa. Today it is a favorite ornamental for landscapes, as well as the most important commercial cut flower.

G90-970 Summer Patch And Necrotic Ring Spot, John E. Watkins, Robert C. Shearman, Terrance P. Riordan

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide describes the causes, predisposing conditions, and symptoms of summer patch and necrotic ring spot, and provides recommendations for their control.

Research since 1980 has resulted in considerable progress in identifying causes of the "patch"-type disease of turfgrass. Two of the most destructive patch diseases of turfgrasses are summer patch and necrotic ring spot.

Both summer patch and necrotic ring spot are present in Nebraska turfs. Unfortunately, necrotic ring spot and summer patch cause identical symptoms and cannot be distinguished in the field, and identification in the laboratory is time-consuming (3-6 months) and laborious.

G90-990 Explosion Venting And Suppression Of Bucket Elevator Legs, David D. Jones

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Explosion vents and explosion suppression devices limit the danger and damage associated with grain dust explosions. This NebGuide discusses these devices and design guidelines for application on bucket elevator legs.

The bucket elevator leg has been identified as a major source of grain dust explosions. As a bucket elevator leg conveys grain, the elements necessary for a grain dust explosion are possible. Fuel (grain dust in suspension above the minimum explosive concentration), oxygen and confinement are inherent inside a functioning bucket elevator leg. Introduction of an ignition source will initiate a grain dust explosion.

G90-994 Full-Fat Soybeans For Pigs (Revised July 1992), Duane Reese

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Several factors should be considered when feeding full-fat soybeans to swine, including nutrient composition, performance, economic considerations and diet formulations.

Soybean meal is the most common supplemental protein source used in pig diets. It is widely available, and often produces the most economical gains when compared with other protein sources. For various reasons, feeding full-fat soybeans to pigs, instead of soybean meal, may be an attractive alternative.

Nf90-277 Setting Up Your Own Business: Planning Your Insurance Coverage, Cheryl Burkhart-Kriesel, Paul H. Gessaman

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Among the important business decisions you will make each year are your decisions about insurance. Both the type(s) of insurance you decide to carry and the level of coverage provided through each type of insurance are important. In event of a serious mistake by yourself or your employee, an accident, a natural or man-made disaster, or other similar event, it's likely your insurance coverage is all that will stand between you and a major loss - possibly all that's between you and a bankruptcy.

G90-987 Colostrum Quality And Absorption In Baby Calves, Duane N. Rice, Douglas G. Rogers

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide explains the importance of early feeding of high quality colostrum to the newborn calf.

The intake and absorption of colostral immunoglobulins, which include antibodies against disease, are essential to the health of the newborn calf. The newborn calf is virtually devoid of circulating antibodies and thus relies on antibodies acquired from colostrum for protection against common disease-causing organisms (pathogens). Significant amounts of the antibodies obtained from good quality colostrum, if fed early enough, are transferred across the small intestine and into the blood during the first few hours of life (passive transfer). Antibodies entering the blood are further …

G90-999 Nutritional Management Of The High-Producing Dairy Cow In The 1990s, Rick J. Grant, Jeffrey F. Keown

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide discusses important aspects of grouping and feeding systems, body conditioning, and nutritional requirements for high-producing dairy cows.

An effective feeding system allows maximum intake of a nutritionally balanced ration. The use of production-enhancing compounds, such as Bovine Somatropin (BST), makes proper nutritional management of high-producing dairy cows even more critical. This NebGuide discusses important aspects of grouping and feeding systems, body conditioning, and nutritional requirements for high-producing dairy cows.

As herd production levels continue to increase along with the average herd size, it is becoming more difficult for many dairy producers to feed their cattle adequate nutrients to …

Myofibrillar Protein Turnover In Feed-Restricted And Realimented Beef Cattle, Steven J. Jones, D. Starkey, Chris R. Calkins, J.D. Crouse

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of feed restriction and repletion on myofibrillar protein turnover in cattle. Crossbred steer calves (n = 12) about 310 d of age were assigned randomly to a diet of corn and silage that was 1) provided ad libitum for 146 d (ALC) or 2) restricted so steers gained .2 kg/d for 80 d but received ad libitum access to feed thereafter for 66 d (RFC). At 27, 55, 97, 118 and 146 d a 24-h urine sample and a blood sample were obtained. Urine was analyzed for N^τ-methylhistidine …

Primary Sequence Of The Escherichia Coli Fadba Operon, Encoding The Fatty Acid-Oxidizing Multienzyme Complex, Indicates A High Degree Of Homology To Eucaryotic Enzymes, Concetta C. Dirusso

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

In Escherichia coli at least five enzyme activities required for the beta-oxidation of fatty acids are associated with a multienzyme complex composed of two subunits in α₂β₂ conformation (A. Pramanik et al., J. Bacteriol. 137:469-473, 1979). In the present work, the DNA sequence of the genes encoding these two subunits, fadB and fadA, has been determined. The direction of transcription was from fadB to fadA rather than from fadA to fadB, as suggested previously (S. K. Spratt et al., J. Bacteriol. 158:535-542, 1984). Only 10 nucleotides separated the coding sequences for the two peptides, confirming …

Sorption Of Aminonapht Halene And Quinoline On Amorphous Silica, John M. Zachara, Calvin C. Alnsworth, Christina Cowan, Ronald Schmidt

United States Department of Energy: Publications

The adsorption of quinoline and aminonaphthalene was investigated from aqueous solution on amorphous silica SiO₂. Amorphous SiO₂ was not a strong adsorbent of these compounds and quinoline was adsorbed more strongly than aminonaphthalene. The adsorption of both compounds varied with pH. A maximum in adsorption occurred near their respective pK_a's. Temperature effects were significant, suggesting enthalpy contributions in the range of H bonding. Both compounds appeared to adsorb via identical mechanisms that included H bonding and ion exchange. The greater basicity of quinoline combined with (1) the enhanced electron-donating properties of the heteroatom N and …
