Using Quicken As A Farm Accounting System With Accrual-Adjusted Financial Statements From Cash Basis Financial Records, Larry Bond Jan 1995

Using Quicken As A Farm Accounting System With Accrual-Adjusted Financial Statements From Cash Basis Financial Records, Larry Bond

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

The purpose of this document is to demonstrate how Quicken, a popular checkbook management software program, can be used to keep a set of records for the farm business that will measure profits, liquidity, and solvency. It is based on an example farm used in the Business Management in Agriculture (BMA) series of videos and workbooks developed in the late 1980·s. It will best be understood if used as a study guide, and that entries actually be made in Quicken as they are encountered in the guide. By they time you complete this exercise, you will have a much better …


Biodegradation Of Synthetic Biphasic Calcium Phosphate And Biological Calcified Substratum By Cells Of Hemopoietic Origin, A. Soueidan, O. I. Gan, J. M. Bouler, F. Gouin, G. Daculsi Jan 1995

Biodegradation Of Synthetic Biphasic Calcium Phosphate And Biological Calcified Substratum By Cells Of Hemopoietic Origin, A. Soueidan, O. I. Gan, J. M. Bouler, F. Gouin, G. Daculsi

Cells and Materials

Different types of osteoclastic cells (authentic osteoclasit from human giant cell tumor and bone marrow of newborn rats; newly-formed osteoclasts from adult rat bone marrow), giant multinucleated cells and macrophages were studied for their effect on synthetic and natural mineralized substrata. Biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic consisted of hydroxyapatite and beta tricalcium phosphate was chosen for in vitro experiments, and dentine served as a positive control for cell resorbing activity . Our results show the limited capacity of authentic and newly-formed osteoclasts to resorb synthetic ceramic as compared to that of natural substrata. In vitro cell-mediated biodegradation included also modifications of …


Resorption Of Natural Calcium Carbonate By Avian Osteoclasts In Vitro, G. Guillemin, S. J. Hunter, C. V. Gay Jan 1995

Resorption Of Natural Calcium Carbonate By Avian Osteoclasts In Vitro, G. Guillemin, S. J. Hunter, C. V. Gay

Cells and Materials

Osteoclasts isolated from the endosteum of 2.5 to 3-week chick tibia were cultured on glass coverslips or natural CaC03 (Tridacna) wafers for 2 and 4 days. The cells were exposed to the pH-dependent dye, acridine orange, and fluorescence was measured by a light microscope photometer. Fluorescence intensity values were higher in cells adherent to Tridacna wafers than in those incubated on glass after 2 and 4 days of culture (three and two-fold, respectively). Moreover, osteoclasts on Tridacna wafers were more flattened and were found to produce resorption pits. Acid production by osteoclasts cultured on Tridacna wafers was stimulated …


Cell Adhesion To Crystal Surfaces: A Model For Initial Stages In The Attachment Of Cells To Solid Substrates, D. Hanein, B. Geiger, L. Addadi Jan 1995

Cell Adhesion To Crystal Surfaces: A Model For Initial Stages In The Attachment Of Cells To Solid Substrates, D. Hanein, B. Geiger, L. Addadi

Cells and Materials

This study addresses the mechanism of the chirally-restricted, ROD-independent adhesion of A6 epithelial cells to the {011} faces of calcium {R,R)-tartrate tetrahydrate crystals. The extensive and rapid adhesion of the cells to these surfaces, in the presence or absence of serum proteins, is distinctly different from the extracellular matrix-mediated adhesion to conventional tissue culture surfaces or to the {101} faces of the same crystals. The differences are manifested by insensitivity to ATP depletion, to disruption of microfilaments and microtubules and even to formaldehyde fixation of the cells. Furthermore, trypsin pretreatment does not affect cell attachment to the {011} faces, nor …


Biomaterials Associated Infections: The Scale Of The Problem, David J. Stickler, Robert J. C. Mclean Jan 1995

Biomaterials Associated Infections: The Scale Of The Problem, David J. Stickler, Robert J. C. Mclean

Cells and Materials

The biomaterials used in the manufacture of implanted prosthetic devices profoundly impair the host's ability to opsonise and phagocytose invading microbes. As a result, while these devices generally provide effective relief from painful, crippling and life-threatening disorders, they can also induce vulnerability to infection in the recipients. The surfaces of the implants are susceptible to colonisation by microbial biofilms. The cells in the biofilm.s are further protected against opsonophagocytosis and are also resistant to antibacterials. Device associated infections thus tend to be refractile to antibiotic therapy and in many cases the device has to be removed before the infection will …


Feasability Of Preventing Encrustation Of Urinary Catheters, J. M. Bibby, A. J. Cox, D. W. L. Hukins Jan 1995

Feasability Of Preventing Encrustation Of Urinary Catheters, J. M. Bibby, A. J. Cox, D. W. L. Hukins

Cells and Materials

Colonization of urinary catheters by bacteria which produce urease leads to an increase in urine pH, followed by deposition of the minerals struvite and hydroxyapatite. Adhesion of these encrusting deposits can be reduced, but not prevented, by using catheters with a smooth surface finish. Chemical methods for preventing encrustation are not completely satisfactory. A better way of preventing encrustation would be to prevent colonization of the catheter by bacteria. This might be achieved by controlled release of antimicrobial agents directly into the urine from the catheter itself. Preliminary experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of controlled release from solid silicone. However, …


Synthetic Hydrogel As An Artificial Vitreous Body. A One-Year Animal Study Of Its Effects On The Retina, T. V. Chirila, I. J. Constable, Y. Hong, S. Vijayasekaran, M. F. Humphrey, P. D. Dalton, S. G. Tahija, M. A. L. Maley, M. J. H. Cuypers, C. Sharp, S. R. Moore, M. J. Davies Jan 1995

Synthetic Hydrogel As An Artificial Vitreous Body. A One-Year Animal Study Of Its Effects On The Retina, T. V. Chirila, I. J. Constable, Y. Hong, S. Vijayasekaran, M. F. Humphrey, P. D. Dalton, S. G. Tahija, M. A. L. Maley, M. J. H. Cuypers, C. Sharp, S. R. Moore, M. J. Davies

Cells and Materials

A hydrogel with a high water content was assessed in vitro and in vivo as a possible vitreous substitute. From a large series of polymers produced by the aqueous polymerization of methyl acrylamidoglycolate methyl ether (MAGME), a gel synthesized in 80% water was selected for an animal study. The gel was injected intravitreally into rabbit eyes and followed clinically by ophthalmoscopy, tonometry, and fundus photography. The gel was clinically well tolerated, but after 6 months ophthalmoscopy revealed progressive pallor of the optic nerve head. The eyes were enucleated one year after injection of polymer. Histopathological examination by light microscopy of …


Three-Dimensional Morphology And Platelet Adhesion On Pyrolytic Carbon Heart Valve Materials, S. L. Goodman, K. S. Tweden, R. M. Albrecht Jan 1995

Three-Dimensional Morphology And Platelet Adhesion On Pyrolytic Carbon Heart Valve Materials, S. L. Goodman, K. S. Tweden, R. M. Albrecht

Cells and Materials

Low-temperature isotropic pyrolytic carbon (LTIC) is the preferred material for mechanical heart valve prosthetics due to its durability and good thromboresistance, although thromboembolic complications remain a significant clinical problem. LTlC morphology has been previously studied using scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). However, these microscopies have limitations with imaging rough surfaces. In this study, LTIC valve leaflets from CarboMedics, Inc. and St. Jude Medical, Inc. were prepared and polished exactly as used in clinical prosthetics, and examined at magnifications up to macromolecular resolution using stereo-pair low-voltage SEM (LV -SEM). LV -SEM reveals that LTIC …

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

As a contribution to the Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project, this report provides an introduction to current American Indian interests in the northern intermontane region of western North America and assesses the prospects of tribes pursuing those interests into the 21st century. A primary goal of the Federal interagency project is to develop scientifically sound and ecosystem-based management strategies for forest and range lands under stewardship of the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management in the greater Pacific Northwest (Fig. 1). As an integral part of the project, a scientific assessment is designed to characterize and assess socio-economic …


Holocene Archeology Near Squaw Butte, Canyonlands National Park, Utah Jan 1995

Holocene Archeology Near Squaw Butte, Canyonlands National Park, Utah

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

This document is the final technical report of cultural resources investigations in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park, southeastern Utah. These investigations were part of the multiyear Canyonlands Archeological Project. Inventory of 878 acres in the Squaw Butte Area revealed 80 sites which were occupied by Archaic people during all phases of the Archaic period, aborigines of unknown cultural affiliation during the Early Formative period, Mesa Verde Anasazi during Pueblo III or late Pueblo II-III, and the Navajo during historic or modern times. Paleoindians may have also been in the general area, if not the actual project area. Limited …


Strutting Sounds And Strutting Posturing Of Two Utah Sage Grouse Populations, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service Jan 1995

Strutting Sounds And Strutting Posturing Of Two Utah Sage Grouse Populations, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service

Wildlife Conservation and Management

Sound and video tape recordings and still pictures were taken of two populations of strutting male sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). The two populations studied were from the Strawberry Valley and Parker Mountains. Sixteen elements of sounds were identified in the strutting sequence. These elements were the same for both populations. Video tape and still picture analysis revealed that both populations were similar in posturing during the strutting sequence. We concluded that the Parker Mountains sage grouse population is suitable in terms of breeding display behavior to augment the Strawberry Valley population. Sexual compatibility would need to be determined in future …

Jackson Hole Cooperative Elk Studies Group, Grand Teton National Park, 1995 Annual Report, United States Department Of The Interior, National Park Service

Wildlife Conservation and Management

A modelling effort using POP-II software was presented to show the effects of altering the harvest structure of the reduction. The relatively high harvests of the last two years may result in maintaining the current Park population levels. A variety of scenarios increasing the number and proportion of cows harvested show the greater effects cow harvests have on reducing the population relative to bull harvests.

Lighthouse Coal Bed Methane Project Environmental Assessment, United States Department Of The Interior Bureau Of Land Management Jan 1995

Lighthouse Coal Bed Methane Project Environmental Assessment, United States Department Of The Interior Bureau Of Land Management

Environmental Assessments (WY)

American Oil and Gas Corporation (American), also doing business as Martens and Peck Operating, proposes a coal bed methane (CBM) project called the Lighthouse project near Gillette, Wyoming in central Campbell County just south of the Marquiss CBM project. Wells drilled in the project area would be from intermingled private, state, and federal oil and gas properties. At full production, American hopes to produce methane gas from a maximum of 200 wells completed in the Wyodak coal seam in the Lighthouse project area. Of the 200 wells, 100 would produce federally owned methane gas.
