Purchasing Versus Raising Replacement Females: To Outsource Or Not To Outsource?, Jack C. Whittier

Range Beef Cow Symposium

The beef cattle industry is experiencing changes in the way it does business. Some have suggested that there is more change occurring now than in any other period of the industry’s history. Among these changes are indications, driven by real incentives, that more uniformity of production is evolving. Alliances and coordinated supply systems are developing that suggest - even specify - certain genetic and production parameters for those who supply calves into their production programs.

Establishing and maintaining a logical, economical, practical and effective system for replenishing the cowherd is a necessary (some would say a necessary evil) component of …

What Are We Doing To Prevent Entry Of Potentially Catastrophic Foreign Animal Diseases Into The Usa, Gary C. Smith

Range Beef Cow Symposium

What are Foreign Animal Diseases? By definition, a Foreign Animal Disease (FAD) is one which originates in another country and can, or does, enter the USA. An agency of our federal government, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), is charged with responsibility for preventing entry of FADs into our country and is especially vigilant regarding those FADs which would have potentially catastrophic effects on farm-animal populations, the agricultural economy and/or the public (human) health. Activities of APHIS specifically related to FADs include (USDA/APHIS, 2001): (a) Guarding our borders against foreign agricultural …

National Market Cow And Bull Beef Quality Audit - 1999, Deborah Roeber, Keith E. Belk, Thomas G. Field, John A. Scanga, Gary L. Cowman, Gary C. Smith

Range Beef Cow Symposium

The National Non-Fed Beef Quality Audit – 1994 (NNFBQA-94) was conducted to benchmark the quality characteristics of market cows and bulls in the beef and dairy industries for purposes of encouraging implementation of quality management practices within the beef industry. From this audit, it was determined that producers were losing $69.90 for each market cow and bull harvested due to quality defects. As a means of recovering the lost value, producers were provided three means by which they could begin to recapture the lost value: 1) Manage market cows and bulls to minimize defects and quality deficiencies, 2) Monitor the …

Air Vehicle Path Planning, Jeffrey M. Hebert

Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation explores optimal path planning for air vehicles. An air vehicle exposed to illumination by a tracking radar is considered and the problem of determining an optimal planar trajectory connecting two prespecified points is addressed. An analytic solution yielding the trajectory minimizing the received radar energy reflected from the target is derived using the Calculus of Variations. Additionally, the related problem of an air vehicle tracked by a passive sensor is also solved. Using the insights gained from the single air vehicle radar exposure minimization problem, a hierarchical cooperative control law is formulated to determine the optimal trajectories that …

Nonlinear Suppression Of Range Ambiguity In Pulse Doppler Radar, Jon M. Anderson

Theses and Dissertations

Coherent pulse train processing is most commonly used in airborne pulse Doppler radar, achieving adequate transmitter/receiver isolation and excellent resolution properties while inherently inducing ambiguities in Doppler and range. First introduced by Palermo in 1962 using two conjugate LFM pulses, the primary nonlinear suppression objective involves reducing range ambiguity, given the waveform is nominally unambiguous in Doppler, by using interpulse and intrapulse coding (pulse compression) to discriminate received ambiguous pulse responses. By introducing a nonlinear operation on compressed (undesired) pulse responses within individual channels, ambiguous energy levels are reduced in channel outputs. This research expands the NLS concept using discrete …

Origins Of Nonstoichiometry And Vacancy Ordering In Sc1-X□Xs, Gus L. W. Hart, Alex Zunger

Faculty Publications

Whereas nearly all compounds AnBm obey Dalton's rule of integer stoichiometry (n:m, both integer), there is a class of systems, exemplified by the rocksalt structure Sc1-x□xS, that exhibits large deviations from stoichiometry via vacancies, even at low temperatures. By combining first-principles total energy calculations with lattice statistical mechanics, we scan an astronomical number of possible structures, identifying the stable ground states. Surprisingly, all have the same motifs: (111) planes with (112) vacancy rows arranged in (110) columns. Electronic structure calculations of the ground states (identified out of ~3 × 10^6 structures) reveal the remarkable origins of nonstoichiometry.

Committee Of Heads Of Local Arab Councils V. Ministry Of Construction, Dorit Beinisch, Aharon Barak, Yaakov Kedmi

Translated Opinions

Facts: Petition seeking the establishment of egalitarian socio-economic criteria for the implementation of the Neighborhood Restoration Project, and a similar inclusion of Arab settlements, which are ranked under the first and second cluster by the Central Office of Statistics, to the inclusion within the project of Jewish settlements which fall under that same ranking.

Held: In the majority opinion, written by Justice Beinisch, the petition was granted in part as to the requested criteria. The court determined that the petition was made partially extraneous given the drafting of new criteria in 1999, and that the criteria were to be redrafted …

Environmental Challenges For The Ranching Community, Ron Micheli

Range Beef Cow Symposium

My grandfather used to love to tell the story of a preacher who came to the ranch to visit. “My goodness, Joe, you have a beautiful place,” said the minister. “The green grass blowing in the wind, the cottonwood trees filled with singing birds, the abundant wildlife, and the sparkling streams, it is amazing what you and the good Lord have done.”

“Yes,” my grandfather said, “It is beautiful. But you should have seen it when the Lord was doing it by himself.”

There is a great message in that story. Man can improve the environment. Man can enhance mother …

An Update On Clostridial Diseases/Abomasal Ulcers, R. G. Mortimer, R. P. Ellis

Range Beef Cow Symposium

Losses of calves in beef herds to Clostridial diseases continues to be a problem. In a large 1991 Colorado study of 47 herds with 11,767 cows reported that two of the most common causes of calf mortality were enteric and sudden death diseases. Both of these entities are consistent with Clostridial disease. Unfortunately, less than 1% of the calves that died were ever presented to a diagnostic lab for confirmation of death and 99% was based on producer perception. A smaller study conducted in 1992-93 of 15 beef herds in Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska with 3,273 calves born attempted to …
