Social Work Practitioners And Technology Transfer, Anna M. Scheyett, Amelia C. Roberts, Raymond Kirk Jan 2001

Social Work Practitioners And Technology Transfer, Anna M. Scheyett, Amelia C. Roberts, Raymond Kirk

Faculty and Staff Publications

The application of new skills and interventions into the practice community is often slow and haphazard. A coaching intervention is proposed to augment traditional social work education techniques and maximize the integration of new knowledge into social work practice. This coaching model includes assessment of a practitioner's readiness for change, stage-wise coaching interventions, assessment of organizational barriers to the transfer of new information, and development of strategies to address these barriers. Implications for social work professionals development and future research are discussed.

Consensus Ontologies: Reconciling The Semantics Of Web Pages And Agents, Larry M. Stevens, Michael N. Huhns Jan 2001

Consensus Ontologies: Reconciling The Semantics Of Web Pages And Agents, Larry M. Stevens, Michael N. Huhns

Faculty Publications

As you build a Web site, it is worthwhile asking, "Should I put my information where it belongs or where people are most likely to look for it?" Our recent research into improving searching through ontologies is providing some interesting results to answer this question. The techniques developed by our research bring organization to the information received and reconcile the semantics of each document. Our goal is to help users retrieve dynamically generated information that is tailored to their individual needs and preferences. We believe that it is easier for individuals or small groups to develop their own ontologies, regardless …

Automating Supply Chains, Michael N. Huhns, Larry M. Stevens Jan 2001

Automating Supply Chains, Michael N. Huhns, Larry M. Stevens

Faculty Publications

A recent study found that supply-chain problems cost companies between 9 and 20 percent of their value over a six-month period (T.J. Becker, 2000). The problems range from part shortages to poorly utilized plant capacity. When you place this in the context of the overall business-to-business (B2B) market expected to reach US$7 trillion by 2004 (37 percent of which is projected to be e-commerce sales), it is easy to see that effective supply-chain management (SCM) tools could save companies billions of dollars. Attempts to automate solutions to these problems are complicated by the need for the different companies in a …

Trust And Persistence, Paul A. Buhler, Michael N. Huhns Jan 2001

Trust And Persistence, Paul A. Buhler, Michael N. Huhns

Faculty Publications

We rely on computers to control our power plants and water supplies, our automobiles and transportation systems, and soon our economic and political systems. Increasingly, software agents are enmeshed in these systems, serving as the glue that connects distributed components. Clearly, we need mechanisms to determine whether these agents are trustworthy. What do we need to establish trust? Agents are often characterized by features such as autonomy, sociability, proactiveness, and persistent identity. This latter feature is key in determining trust. When agents operate over an extended period, they can earn a reputation for competence, timeliness, ease of use, and trustworthiness, …

What Factors Affect Cheating In Secondary School And Why?, Penelope Kathryn Armstead Jan 2001

What Factors Affect Cheating In Secondary School And Why?, Penelope Kathryn Armstead

School of Psychology Theses

Cheating in British secondary schools has not been previously researched. The aim of this thesis was to ascertain what factors affect cheating in secondary school and why? Initially, four questions were posed: "what is cheating?', "when is it wrong to cheat?', 'what role do parents play' and 'what are teacher perceptions of cheating compared with those of students?'. These questions were addressed by studying the perspectives of students, parents and teachers using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, involving nearly 1000 respondents in six studies. Two models were developed. The first, a four dimensional model, explained what students thought …

Children's Production Of Locative Expressions In English : The Influence Of Geometric And Extra-Geometric Factors, Lynn Valerie Richards Jan 2001

Children's Production Of Locative Expressions In English : The Influence Of Geometric And Extra-Geometric Factors, Lynn Valerie Richards

School of Psychology Theses

The research in this thesis examines the influence that both geometric and extrageometric factors have on children's spatial language production. Over the years it has widely been assumed that spatial prepositions identif' where objects are in the world (geometric factors) and that this is reflected in the semantic representations of these words. More recently, researchers investigating the lexical semantics of spatial prepositions have begun to question this assumption by demonstrating that what objects are and how they are interacting can also affect the way we describe where they are in the world (extra-geometric factors). Following on from research conducted with …

Evaluation Of 1996 Beef Cattle Nrc Model And Development Of Net Energy Modifiers, Hushton Block, Trey Patterson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, John Moore Jan 2001

Evaluation Of 1996 Beef Cattle Nrc Model And Development Of Net Energy Modifiers, Hushton Block, Trey Patterson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, John Moore

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Data from 325 treatment means in 35 previous beef cattle feeding studies were used to evaluate the 1996 NRC model for accuracy of gain predictions and to develop predictions of net energy adjusters for use with the model. The model was found to inaccurately predict gain of cattle fed diets varying in ingredients and energy density. Net energy adjusters were used to achieve accurate prediction of gain for each observation and then equations were developed for predicting the level of net energy adjustment required to improve accuracy of gain prediction.

Effect Of Corn Processing On Degradable Intake Protein Requirement Of Finishing Cattle, Rob Cooper, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Doug Jordan, Todd Milton Jan 2001

Effect Of Corn Processing On Degradable Intake Protein Requirement Of Finishing Cattle, Rob Cooper, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Doug Jordan, Todd Milton

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Three finishing trials were conducted to determine effect of corn processing on degradable intake protein requirement of feedlot cattle. Finishing diets consisted of 82% processed corn which was either dry rolled, high moisture, or steam flaked. Degradable intake protein levels were achieved by adding 0 to 2.0% urea (DM basis) to the control diets. Estimates of degradable intake protein requirement for a dry-rolled corn-based diet were approximately 6.3% of dietary DM. Degradable intake protein requirement for high-moisture corn-based diets was approximately 10% of dietary DM. Degradable intake protein requirement for steam-flaked corn-based diet was between 7 and 9.5% of dietary …

Economic Evaluation Of Corn Processing For Finishing Cattle, Rob Cooper, Todd Milton, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Dick Clark Jan 2001

Economic Evaluation Of Corn Processing For Finishing Cattle, Rob Cooper, Todd Milton, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Dick Clark

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A finishing trial was conducted to determine performance of steers fed dry-rolled, high-moisture and steamflaked corn-based diets. High-moisture corn and steam-flaked corn were determined to have 100% and 108% the value of dry-rolled corn, respectively. Estimated costs of corn processing ($/ton) ranged from $1.44 to $1.60 for dry-rolled corn, $1.98 to $2.34 for high-moisture corn, and $6.79 to $7.16 for steam-flaked corn. Economics of high-moisture corn are dependent on the discount at which it is purchased to dry corn. Economics of steam-flaked corn are dependent on corn price, but appear attractive at prices common in Nebraska.

Managing Heat Stress In Feedlot Cattle Using Sprinklers, Shane Davis, Terry L. Mader, Wanda Cerkoney Jan 2001

Managing Heat Stress In Feedlot Cattle Using Sprinklers, Shane Davis, Terry L. Mader, Wanda Cerkoney

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Ninety-six Bos taurus steers were used to determine the effect of water application to feedlot mounds on performance, behavior and tympanic temperature of steers and microclimatic conditions of the mounds. Steers were assigned to 12 pens subjected to no water application (CON), water applied between 1000 and 1200 (AM), or 1400 and 1600 hr (PM). Water application lowered soil temperatures of the mounds with little effect on temperature-humidity index. Tympanic temperatures were lowered by treatment. Performance variables were not affected; however, AM steers were more efficient than PM steers.

The Role Of Muscle Glycogen In Dark Cutting Beef., Dana J. Hanson, Kevin Kirchofer, Chris R. Calkins Jan 2001

The Role Of Muscle Glycogen In Dark Cutting Beef., Dana J. Hanson, Kevin Kirchofer, Chris R. Calkins

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Dark cutting beef occurs when muscle glycogen levels are depleted prior to slaughter. Without glycogen, lactic acid is not produced in postmortem muscle, causing a higher than normal muscle pH. This research was conducted to identify the threshold level of glycogen where the dark cutting condition is likely to occur. These data from muscles varying widely in pH suggest that muscle glycogen levels need to be at or above 80 mmol/kg to prevent the dark cutting beef condition.

Protein Supplements And Performance Of Cows And Calves In June-Calving Production Systems, Amelia Hopkin, Don C. Adams, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Todd Milton, Dick Clark Jan 2001

Protein Supplements And Performance Of Cows And Calves In June-Calving Production Systems, Amelia Hopkin, Don C. Adams, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Todd Milton, Dick Clark

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Lactating, June-calving cows that received protein supplement January through March maintained a lower body condition than dry June cows. Dry, nonsupplemented cows lost more body condition compared to dry, supplemented cows over that same time period. June-born steers wintered at a low rate of gain (.4 lb/day) had higher daily gains on sub-irrigated meadow during May than June born steers wintered at a higher rate of gain (1.6 lb/day). Supplemental protein fed during summer grazing on range increased daily gains for steers wintered at both high and low gains compared to non-supplemented steers.

Wet Corn Gluten Feed Supplementation Of Calves Grazing Corn Residue, D. J. Jordon, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Todd Milton Jan 2001

Wet Corn Gluten Feed Supplementation Of Calves Grazing Corn Residue, D. J. Jordon, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Todd Milton

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Incremental levels of wet corn gluten feed were fed to calves grazing corn residues. Based on statistical and economical analysis of the data collected, feeding wet corn gluten feed (5.0-6.5 lb/ head/day; DM basis) will increase stocking rate on corn residue and reduce winter costs by 11%. Given that 3.5 lb DM/day wet corn gluten feed will meet the protein and phosphorus needs of calves, and feeding above 6.0 lb/d will not increase gains, wet corn gluten feed should be fed at 3.5-6.0 lb DM/day, producing gains from 1.28- 1.88 lb/day.

Restricted Feeding Strategies For Reducing Heat Load Of Yearling Steers, Terry L. Mader, Simone Holt, Tony Scott, Shane Davis Jan 2001

Restricted Feeding Strategies For Reducing Heat Load Of Yearling Steers, Terry L. Mader, Simone Holt, Tony Scott, Shane Davis

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Eighty-four Bos taurus crossbred steers were used to investigate effects of level and duration of limit feeding feedlot cattle in a hot environment. Restricting feed intake to 70 to 80% of ad libitum for 21 days duration (RES21) or for 42 days duration (RES42) reduced tympanic temperature in both RES21 and RES42 when compared with ad libitum treatment groups under both thermoneutral and hot conditions. Temperature reduction approached 1.5 F0 depending on time of day. Limit feeding feedlot cattle during early summer is a successful tool for enhancing animal comfort by alleviating the combined effects of high temperatures and …

Urinary Allantoin Excretion As A Marker Of Microbial Crude Protein Supply For Cattle, Ryan Mass, D. J. Jordon, Tony Scott, Todd Milton, Terry J. Klopfenstein, David Harmon Jan 2001

Urinary Allantoin Excretion As A Marker Of Microbial Crude Protein Supply For Cattle, Ryan Mass, D. J. Jordon, Tony Scott, Todd Milton, Terry J. Klopfenstein, David Harmon

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Two metabolism trials evaluated urinary allantoin excretion as a noninvasive marker of microbial crude protein flow from the rumen. In the first trial, both urinary allantoin excretion and duodenal purine flow increased as alfalfa intake increased. A positive linear relationship (r2 = .74) existed between the markers. In the second trial, an increase in the metabolizable energy supplied to the animal did not increase urinary allantoin excretion. We concluded that urinary allantoin excretion was an effective, noninvasive marker of microbial crude protein supply.
