Encouraging Marketing Research, Ronald B. Larson Dec 1997

Encouraging Marketing Research, Ronald B. Larson

Journal of Extension

Some business people are unfamiliar with the need for or the benefits from marketing research. One tool for communicating the value of marketing and marketing research is regional sales indices. These indices can help highlight market heterogeneity, illustrate marketing complexities, and encourage the use of regional events. They can also be used to help identify potential marketing partners, guide test market selection, and assist with volume forecasting. By including analyses of these sales development indices in presentations to business groups, greater interest in conducting marketing research and in supporting marketing programs may be generated.

Locality-Based Programming: Virginia Tech's Powell River Project, Carl E. Zipper, Jonathan S. Rockett

Journal of Extension

The Powell River Project (PRP) is a Virginia Tech program that applies the land-grant research-Extension model to non-traditional program areas. PRP sponsors research and education programs to benefit the people of Virginia's coal-producing region. Funding is provided by industry, the University, and the state. A Board of Directors establishes priorities and allocates funds, a staff solicits research proposals and disseminates research results, and University personnel conduct sponsored activities. A variety of factors indicate program success, including influence on industry environmental protection practices and regulatory standards. Keys to success include local involvement, a multidisciplinary approach, and strong research-Extension links.


Integrating Extension In Natural Resources Graduate Education, Stephen B. Jones, James C. Finley Dec 1997

Integrating Extension In Natural Resources Graduate Education, Stephen B. Jones, James C. Finley

Journal of Extension

Traditionally graduate education is defined by a research project and is often complemented by classroom or laboratory teaching experience. Too infrequently, graduate educators do not capitalize on promising opportunities associated with the university's Extension mission. The nature of informal education often draws Extension faculty to contentious and timely issues that are characterized by either technology voids or awareness/knowledge shortfalls. Using case studies the article characterizes the research that is appropriate, describes the type of graduate students who may be attracted to this kind of project, and suggests a strategy for partnering and grantsmanship.

School Enrichment: What Factors Attract Elementary Teachers To 4-H Science Curriculum?, Niki Nestor Mcneely, Betty J. Wells

Journal of Extension

Today's teachers are busy people. They teach class, grade papers, attend assemblies, work lunch, hall and bus duty, and complete many other job assignments. Extension professionals have an opportunity to build partnerships with classroom teachers through the 4-H Science curriculum and programs. Most lessons from the curriculum require fairly common materials and not much preparation time, making it ideal for teachers with limited resources.

Using Database Software For Natural Resource Extension Education, Michael J. Cloughesy

Journal of Extension

Three new computer programs have been developed by a forestry Extension agent and a volunteer to help small woodland owners and foresters make better forest management decisions. Two of the programs were designed to perform the calculations necessary to estimate volume and growth of timber stands. A third program is designed to perform economic analysis of forestry investments. The programs have been well received by the clientele. Anecdotal evidence has shown that using the software has led to improved decision making capacity for small woodland owners.

The Sensitivity Of Fluorescent Rabies Antibody Testing On Samples Taken From Brain Stem, Cerebellum, Cerebrum And Hippocampus, Veera Tepsumethanon, Boonlert Lumlertdacha, Channarong Mitmoonpitak

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A review was carried out on 2,689 brains from animals that were found to be positive for rabies virus by a fluorescent antibody test (FAT) and mouse inoculation test (MIT). Samples were taken from the brain stem, cerebellum, cerebrum and hippocampus of each animal. FAT sensitivity was found to be 99.59, 99.29, 98.88 and 98.74 percent for each of the different sampling sites. It was concluded that the brain stem is the best site for routine rabies FAT diagnosis.

Evaluation Of The Efficacy Of Dl-Methionine And Methoonine Hydroxy Analogue In Broiler Diets, S. Kijparkorn, A. Suriyasomboon, C. Nuengjamnong Dec 1997

Evaluation Of The Efficacy Of Dl-Methionine And Methoonine Hydroxy Analogue In Broiler Diets, S. Kijparkorn, A. Suriyasomboon, C. Nuengjamnong

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Nine hundred and sixty day-old chicks of both sexes were divided into 24 groups of 40 birds each and fed for 42 days. Diets were prepared and fed over two phases (1-21 and 22-42 days of age). They were calculated to be deficient either in methionine and sulfur amino acids (negative control diet) or supplemented with 0.24% DL-Methionine (DL-M) or 0.37% Methionine Hydroxy Analogue (MHA). Weight gain and feed intake were calculated so that an evaluation of the efficacy of the 2 sources of methionine could be made. A significant response (P<0.05) in the average weight gain over negative controls (0.55+0.01 kg/bird) was found for DL-M supplemented diets (0.59± 0.01 kg/bird) in phase I, whereas MHA (0.57±0.01kg/bird) did not show any improvement. The feed conversion ratio of DL-M (1.80±0.03) and MHA (1.82±0.04) was significantly different to the negative control (1.93±0.03). There were no significant differences in all performances during phase II. The overall results showed that broilers fed with 0.24% DL-Methionine or 0.37% Methionine Hydroxy Analogue fortified rations showed the same growth rates. It may be concluded that MHA was 65% as efficient as DL-methionine in broiler chicks during the 1-21 day old period of their lives.
