Beyond The Borders: International Marketing Developments And The Effects On Cattle Producers, Wendy Radakovich Dec 2001

Beyond The Borders: International Marketing Developments And The Effects On Cattle Producers, Wendy Radakovich

Range Beef Cow Symposium

The international market for U.S. beef has grown dramatically in the past decade to the benefit of beef producers. In 1990 U.S. beef and beef variety meat exports amounted to 508,109 metric tons worth $1.88 billion. By 2000 U.S. beef and beef variety exports grew to 1,237,000 metric tons worth $3.6 billion.

Why is the international market important to beef producers? There are several examples that demonstrate the importance of the export market to U.S. beef producers. U.S. beef exports represented 13% of production in 2000. This is equivalent to 2.7 billion pounds. 2000 was also the first year the …

The Use Of Ultrasound Technology In Genetic Selection Decisions, William Herring, David Kemp Dec 2001

The Use Of Ultrasound Technology In Genetic Selection Decisions, William Herring, David Kemp

Range Beef Cow Symposium

Today, real-time ultrasound (RTU) can be used to gather live cattle data that subsequently can be used for the genetic prediction of carcass cutability and meat quality traits. Initially, identification of sires that were superior for carcass merit could only be accomplished through progeny testing, an expensive, slow and logistically complicated process. Today, breed associations use RTU data solely or in combination with actual carcass data for computation of carcass EPD. While much research should be done to improve the accuracy and cost of the technology, RTU provides a valuable tool for genetic selection of carcass merit.

Objective Development Of Grazing Strategies, Patrick E. Reese Dec 2001

Objective Development Of Grazing Strategies, Patrick E. Reese

Range Beef Cow Symposium

A grazing strategy is a plan for accomplishing a set of objectives based on comprehensive knowledge of available resources, and the production and marketing environment. Management can be greatly simplified when grazing strategies are based on clearly stated and prioritized resource-management and livestock-production objectives (Fig. I ). Decisions on when and how to use plant resources have profound effects on the success of grazing strategies. Plant resources can be used for livestock production or wildlife cover and ecosystem functions such as hydrologic condition and site stability.

While many rangelands in the central and northern Great Plains are dominated by grasses …

The Value Of Corn As A Hay Replacement For Cows, Cody Wright Dec 2001

The Value Of Corn As A Hay Replacement For Cows, Cody Wright

Range Beef Cow Symposium

In many western cattle operations, harvested forages have traditionally been considered the most economical feedstuffs for wintering beef cows. However, in certain situations, the nutrient content of standing or harvested forages may be inadequate to meet the nutritional requirements of the beef cow for maintenance, gestation, or lactation. Furthermore, the availability of standing or harvested forages may be limited, especially during drought years and(or) severe winters when the cost of medium- to low-quality forages may reach $80-100 per ton. Feeding corn grain may represent an economically viable alternative in each of these scenarios.

Producers commonly ask “how much corn can …

A Cowboy’S Guide To Building Teams, Tom G. Field, Michael G. Hays Dec 2001

A Cowboy’S Guide To Building Teams, Tom G. Field, Michael G. Hays

Range Beef Cow Symposium

One of the daunting challenges facing the cattle industry in the near term is the ability to attract and retain skilled and effective human resources to the ranching business. We currently have at our disposal vast amounts of information about marketing, health, reproduction, nutrition, genetics, forage management, and financial decision-making to create and sustain a viable cow-calf, stocker, or feedlot business. In fact, any of the existing enterprise managers in the industry likely excel in a majority of the aforementioned topics. However, one of the major obstacles to success in agriculture is a failure to recognize that human beings are …

The Informed Imagination: Researching And Building A Character’S Identity, Jeremy William Hilgert Dec 2001

The Informed Imagination: Researching And Building A Character’S Identity, Jeremy William Hilgert

Theses and Dissertations

An actor’s duty to the play is to present the most fully formed and vivid interpretation of the character. To do so, the actor must have an understanding of how that particular character developed their own sense of identity. This should be constructed not from the actor’s personal experience but from an informed imaginative experience founded on research and analysis. As pedagogues we are challenged with attempting to give young actors the skills for such an analysis. I have developed a formula to aid the actor in creating the foundations for such an interpretation founded upon the sociological understanding of …

Naturalized Epistemology And The Law Of Evidence, Ronald Jay Allen, Brian R. Leiter Dec 2001

Naturalized Epistemology And The Law Of Evidence, Ronald Jay Allen, Brian R. Leiter

Public Law and Legal Theory Papers

This paper important developments in epistemology, and defends a theoretical framework for evidence scholarship from the perspective of naturalized epistemology. It demonstrates that naturalized epistemology provides a firm conceptual foundation for much research into law of evidence. These developments in epistemology have not been much noted in legal scholarship, despite their importance in philosophy and their coincidence with some widely shared approaches to evidence scholarship. This article is a partial antidote for the unproductive fascination in some quarters of the legal academy with "postmodern" conceptions of knowledge and truth and to the even more common search by the legal professoriat …

Spectrophotometric Method And Apparatus For Blood Typing, Luis Humberto Garcia-Rubio, Smita Narayanan, German Leparc, Robert Potter, Sharyn Orton

USF Patents

A method and apparatus for characterizing the type of a blood sample are provided wherein an optical density spectrum of the sample is collected over a predetermined wavelength range. A reference optical density spectrum is collected over a predetermined wavelength range for a portion of the blood sample diluted in saline. Another portion of the blood sample is then mixed with an antibody corresponding to a known blood type (e.g., anti-A, anti-B, anti-D antibody). The optical density spectrum is then collected over a predetermined wavelength range for blood diluted with saline and each antibody in saline. The slopes are then …

Isotopic Composition Of Solar Energetic Particle Events Measured By Advanced Composition Explorer/Uleis, Joseph R. Dwyer, Glenn M. Mason, Joseph E. Mazur, Robert E. Gold, Stamatios M. Krimigis, Eberhard S. Möbius, Mark A. Popecki Dec 2001

Isotopic Composition Of Solar Energetic Particle Events Measured By Advanced Composition Explorer/Uleis, Joseph R. Dwyer, Glenn M. Mason, Joseph E. Mazur, Robert E. Gold, Stamatios M. Krimigis, Eberhard S. Möbius, Mark A. Popecki

Aerospace, Physics, and Space Science Faculty Publications

Since its 1997 August launch, the Ultra Low Energy Isotope Spectrometer (ULEIS) on board the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) has observed a large number of solar energetic particle (SEP) events in the 0.4-3 MeV nucleonˉ¹ range. These events show remarkable variability of both the elemental and isotopic compositions, with ²²Ne/²⁰Ne varying, from event to event, by up to a factor of 10, Fe/O by up to a factor of 100, and ³He/⁴He by up to a factor of 104. In this paper we present new measurements of the ²²Ne/²⁰Ne, ²⁶Mg/²⁴Mg, and ³He/⁴He ratios at ∼ 1 MeV nucleonˉ¹ and compare …

Observation Of Diffractive J/Ψ Production At The Fermilab Tevatron, T. Affolder, Kenneth A. Bloom, Collider Detector At Fermilab Collaboration Dec 2001

Observation Of Diffractive J/Ψ Production At The Fermilab Tevatron, T. Affolder, Kenneth A. Bloom, Collider Detector At Fermilab Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

We report the first observation of diffractive J/ψ(→μ+μ-) production in p̅p collisions at √s= 1.8 TeV. Diffractive events are identified by their rapidity gap signature. In a sample of events with two muons of transverse momentum pT,/sub> μ> 2 GeV/c within the pseudorapidity region |η| J/ψ production rates is found to be RJ/ψ=[1.45 ± 0.25]%. The ratio RJ/ψ(x) is presented as a function of x-Bjorken. By combining it with our previously measured corresponding ratio Rjj(x) for diffractive dijet production, we extract a value of 0.59 …
